I recently finished construction of my 3dr ArduCopter kit and began calibrating the electronics. I used the CLI to calibrate my radio as the GUIbased one didn't work, but other than that, everything went without a hitch. I finished calibr
i bought the ardumega 2.5 + and the ublox gps together from 3drobotics.
The GPS will not lock onto any satellites. I am powering both right now over USB from my laptop. I am outdoors in a clear sky. I ran the CLI gps test. it says the ublox is O
We are in the process of fine tuning a large octo and a small tricopter, both using Arducopter 2.8.1. We have challenges with the loiter and RTL mode. In one flight loiter can be perfect, and then, after flying around, the multicopters don,t wa
i'm an italian university student and me and a pair of friends are really interested in building our first drone (probably a quadcopter). I see that the store has everything we need but, since we are down here in italy, we are going to spend a
Just an annoying problem with the motors pulsing in Altitude Hold.I don't seem to be able to tune it out entirely. I've disabled the Sonar. The Quad holds altitude quite well but the pulsing upsets the stability a little.Also I'm using 12x8" APC prop
I'm looking for some hand holding - This June (6 weeks) I'm doing a Robot Camp at my university for 12-15yo students. Much of the student time will be spent with Lego Mindstorm but I would also like to buy a gps e
RC signal loss, hence RTL triggered. However, to my surprise, RTL has been triggered twice (see picture). Blue followed by purple. The final landing place is 80m from the initial place that I launch it. Anyone experienced this before?
Last night i used an XT 60 to Deans converter plug made by a friend to connect a battery to my quad which has an APM 2 board and I use the APM Power Module. Well i did not check the plug before i used it which was a mistake as it resulted with me co
Hi you all! Now, our quad works well, but the sensors are not well calibrated. When you see the HUD, it is not straight. Here it is a photo with the problem.
I'm trying to fly my quad without using the GPS (which is been shipping). But I have some problems with it. I don't know how to save the configuration at the Mission Planner, so I don't know how to make it fly. All works ok, but I still ha
I've been jumping through some hoops to get things powered on my multi-rotor rigs lately and it occurred to me that a slightly more advanced version of the 3DR Power Module could solve it really neatly.
