hi,
Tonight i want to test verify height on a mission. I wanted the quad to fly at 10 metres altitude so i first set this to the default altitude in the mission planner and also enabled verify altitude. Then i added 3 waypoints by clicking on the map.
Read more…I programmed the following mission:
It is a quad, 3DR frame, nothing fancy, APM running V3.0.1.
It executed the auto mission until waypoint 3 then I saw the quad go down in an apparent controlled manner (it is not like i lost a prop) still moving towar

For a long time I noticed an issue in mission planner related to the wrong battery voltage measurement and display and also the issue to enter a value with a decimal in the low_volt parameter:
Here is a picture of the display in mission planner

For example, I'd like to fly lines east west (90 degree / 180 degree) but want to keep the copter facing w

Is this a glitch?

I want to setup failsafe for my Futaba T6EX tranmitter. I have been following this http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/failsafe/#Throttle_Failsafe
When i power down the transmitter my PWM value does not drop on ch 3 so i assume that the transmitter

This is explain by Forrest Frantz
Read more…I did the compassmot calibration and at full throttle I keep getting 38%. I know it is in the low range of the gray area. I should be okay per compassmot, correct? All of my other calibrations look good.
Thanks.
Read more…hello,
i have disabled the motor compass calibration data on my APM.
I have now bought a new frame and put the APM on 2 blocks of wood which raise it well above the PDM.
Now last night i flew an auto mission which worked perfect.

I used a kk2 board with my tricopter (windestal design). I got 15 minutes fly time.
Now with the apm2.5, with the newest software, i can fly for 4 minutes and then it needs more and more throttle to stay airborne...???
Any settings wrong or what?
Read more…Hi,
Like many of you and following the general consensus, I use moongel to isolate APM from my frame's vibrations. I have got quite good results and was at worst in a vibration range of plus or minus 0,2g (between 8 and 12 on the mission planner graph
