  • @António I feel your pain.
    I busted another PM yesterday in a rover crash. That's two now. If I break 3 more it might be worthwhile to fix them. I found the part I need.

    $6.77 seems reasonable, but $48 for shipping? Something is wrong with the system.
  • @dr0n3droid Thanks again.
    I'm starting to consider this option, attopilot+voltage regulator, for I'm frustrated in trying to buy a PM in europe, instead of trying to go for the higher voltage LiPos. It's the third attempt in buying one PM, and 2 were clones without the voltage regulator, and another went missing in the mail. Most of the best stores in here have it out of stock. I dunno why.

    I'm feeling I'm being forced to buy it directly from 3DR, or try this new/old approach. In the while it's been week that my hexa is grounded. :-(

    Cheers

  • This is what I used before 3DR started making the PM.

    Check your LHS.

  • @dr0n3droid Thank you for the speedy response.
    Would you be kind to show me/us a link to one of those kind of regulators? Just as as an example. Perhaps it might be simpler to get one than I though.

    Thank you again in advance.

  • @António

    Attopilot is for measurement only. What's missing is a voltage regulator to give you +5v for APM.
  • Can a Attopilot fully substitute a power module in giving power to an APM 2.5 and sending voltage and current readings to be sent by the telemetry? If not, what part is missing to make it complete? THanks

  • Surely had some stored waypoints and pulsastes the auto mode or you accidentally put the throttle and reverse mode

  • please any one help me...  i have arducopter 2.6 and motors 919 rpm 4s and i use battery 6s 4200 mah ....And I cant use joystic on mission planner and i have telemetry 915 Mhz (TX,RX) ......any one can help me in solve this problem?????

  • Does anyone here use VTails with the APM?

  • i have only one small request for every one, may i get C language programe code for the KKmulticopter V4 circuit provided by Jean-Louis. i will be very thankfull.......please help me.

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

Will AHRS_ORIENTATION=8 for Arducopter 3.2.1 on APM 2.5 using a traditional Heli

I have been Reading Chris Olsen posts and watching his videos on Arducopter with traditional Helis using a Pixhawk.I have inherited an older Trex 450 heli with the old Align 3G FBL hardware.  The FBL controller appears to be bad.  So I have an old APM 2.5 without a compass or GPS on board.  I just want to replace the failed Align 3G FBL system with the APM.Now I have to mount the APM under the skids on the heli so the APM will be upside down.I have Two questions.1)  Is the AHRS_ORIENTATION=8…
