Hey guys,I' ve just build a RoboCat270 for some FPV speed fun. As I am a great fan of my APMs in my other quads I thought I should build it with a miniAPM. I added m8n GPS, OSD and telemetry link, as I really enjoy these things.The quad is powered by
In the never ending quest to improve camera triggering via Pixhawk, one of my objective was to reduce as much as possible the triggering latency. That is the time between the moment the autopilot processes a trigger instruction (sent out on a pred
I'm unclear on how sonar and LIDAR are used for reference altitude readings as opposed to barometer-based altitude readings. I assume that sonar or LIDAR (when available) are used for altitude references below a certain altitude as determined from th
I have been promoting my business around St. Petersburg Florida the last month, setting up sales booths at the Clearwater Super Boat Race and Watt Fest. My time down here has been a huge learning experience with great results. Big than
i want to lift 1500 gm quadqopter i want to know what motors ,battery prop and where to buy it its my first to work on something like that and i am confused i am from Egypt
I changed APM for a Pixhawk (chinesse) and now, telemetry works with Tower but in OSD doesn't show values (current, gps, rssi, etc. All looks in 0, I check and re-check connections, I change rx and Tx wires in case, but nothing, any ideas what have w
Hi all, I'd like some insight as to why my quad wobbles when increasing altitude/throttle. I have lowered the PIDs in stabilize mode (now as low as 3.2 for Roll and Pitch) which helped but I 'm still getting some wobble when increasing thrust a
How do you Calculate what battery to use on a HJ 450 with APM 2.6, OSD, GPS, DJI motors, LEDS, FPV, Gopro has it's own battery but I do have an FPV CMOS camera as well. I was thinking 4S but the guy at Drones Plus said I could use a 3s, I don't belei
I'm currently building an Alien 680 Frame and looking around for ideas on mounting the ESC's, FC etc., I noticed several using xHawks and they mount it inside the frame with the power wires surrounding it underneath the frame.
Running a little survey last thursday looking for some Giant Hogweed and seemingly all went well with the flights (running a Vulcan Octocopter using Pixhawk with arducopter 3.2.1). However on checking the log for the third and final flight of
I am trying to analyze the capability of my 3DR Y-6 to fly various flight paths. The variable: xtrack_error_mavlink_nav_controller_output_t is set to zero for the copter version. It is not zero for the plane version. Any help figu
I'm running a DFI-550 Flamewheel style hexacopter with a Pixhawk controller. I have just started running missions by arming the unit, flippimg to Auto on the TX, then raising the throttle stilck to take off. Works great!
I am having this problem when building my quadcopter. Three motors don't spin until throttle reaches 16% of full throttle. Only one of them is working fine. But once they are all spinning, it seems they are at the same speed.
Compass inconsistency. This is a PixHawk Lite with an M8N GPS. The external compass is on top and pointed in the right direction. Both compasses calibrate. They show up the the parameter list with Id's and offsets. But, in the main window in MP only t
