Hi,
Before Pixhawk I used APM 2.5 with LEA6h, wanted to use it also with Pixhawk but was unable to do so. Now I connected Lea6H back to APM and got "no gps" message. Connected USB to Lea6h to see with u-center what is wrong and MP showed that GPS work

I'm in a process of building a 4WD rover using skid steering and will be using the APM2.6 as my autopilot.
I do not plan to use an R/C remote control transmitter/receiver for control but I would like to know what type of PWM signals ( there values i
Hi,
I have successfully connected 2 servos to RC9 (tilt) and RC10 (roll, later will connect to RC11 aka pan), stabilization works.
I have a 7ch Spektrum DX7se and sat connected to Pixhawk. How can I map tilt(RC9) to Pitch(RC_MAP Pich, ch3) and roll (RC

Hi,
I am building (slowly) a 2 wheel hanging pendulum robot that uses 2 26" Bicycle wheels and Kelly reversing controllers.
The problem I have is that the controllers use a pot or 0-5 volt input for a throttle and not PWM pulse width.
While I am initial

Are there any thoughts to port mission planer to the android platform ?
Read more…All LEDs solid, all voltages nominal. Manual and learning modes work fine. With hundreds of meters to WP, rover goes fwd and rev erratically with no steering in auto mode.
