Hi All,
Been flying by quad in auto mode doing some ground mapping and on the whole things have been going well, however every now and then the quad goes a bit nuts when attemtping to go to a waypoint, making it circle widely with increasing speed. S

I'm not sure how the on board compass setup is supposed to work on a hex. I connect via 915 M link and every thing looks good except the direction on the flight data screen is always out by alot like 180 degrees. Everything flies good in manual and

As a suggestion it would be really nice if we had Auto option for Ch 7
I have Auto set on my 3 way switch bottom, but the other day I was in mid switch and thought I was in top, I went down one and my quad flew up and hit the trees, then crashing down

Has anyone used the system identification toolbox to model a quadcopter? I would like to generate a model using system identification, either using black box modeling or grey box modeling.
I can utilize some suggestions to get started.
Thank you
Read more…Well this one is really doing my head in.
Have been trying to setup the gimbal, but which ever axis is connected to RC11 just twitches randomly and aggressively all over the place.
Also as an aside, are RC1-8 the same as outputs 1-8? trying to work out

I assume it does but would like verification.
i.e. if I am in Auto and I want it to come home can I flip the Ch7 high?
Thanks, Ed,

Quick question. Can I use a joystick for manual control without RC?
I successfully enabled my joystick. When APM is connected to an RC receiver, MP shows various PWM values in ch1out ~ ch4out according to the throttle stick movement.
However, al

Hope this is proper way and place to solve a kind of simple technical problem.

Hi All,
I have an APM 2.5 board (brand new), it's my second APM, I have another 2.5 in an aircraft, this one is for a quadcopter.
I've loaded up 2.9 through mission planner, all good. Then power cycled the APM and checked everythi

Hi All,
I'm running the APM2.5+ with Arducopter 2.8.? (The version before 2.9)
My Radio is a Spektrum DX8.
All of the radio calibration went fine, but I noticed at the time of calibration that the throttle 'green bar' would randomly blip up to half thro

So I took a look at the kmz and noticed that all the points had a "alt error #". I am not sure if t

I recently got the Udrone Hexacopter including the gimbal with the lot and have a few general questions which im sure others will also have especially if they have little experience.

I'm trying to figure out if my APM board is broken or not. While my copter is flying in stabilize mode, it often suddenly change its orientation. First, I thought STB_YAW_P & STB_YAW_I would be too large, so I reduced these values. However, the
