Hi guys, I have a question regarding the input voltage for the APM board. I know the PM distributes a voltage of 5.3V through the BEC. I was wondering what the max input voltage is on this rail? If I were to use a 6V BEC on this would it fry my…

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to use the Create MATLAB file button in the telemetry logs. When I seem to press it and then select my tlog, Nothing happens. Is it possibly just not working? Or is it saving to a…

I was wondering if someone could help explain the Geo-tagging and what the best approach for this would be. I have done some research and found both advice referring to cameras with GPS and without GPS. Now some say that the accuracy of the camera…

Hello I'm trying to get the Geo tagging feature setup on the APM. I have the apm 2.6 with the most current firmware on my aircraft. My question is with the cables. I have two different guides that I'm not sure which one to follow.Here are the…

"moglos can you provide the motocalc air frame numbers or saved file for me so I can begin testing?"

"Awesome, would you be able to send me your Cyclops motocalc file with all the CL and CG info and that stuff? al.creigh@yahoo.com.

I do think they have a 6s delux version."

"Interesting I have the same batteries that you have and like going with bigger volts. Only thing is it does take regulators as well the APM only takes a 4S and requires a after market power module to handle the 6S
If you were going to go 6S what…"

"Moglos, would you expect increased flight times if you went to 6S? 

Also do you have any place where you show build log and how you got your CG appropriately placed?"

"Hey moglos my email is al.creigh@yahoo.com could you send me your config file for your cyclops?

Also I was wondering if you knew anything about the cyclops C?"

"Hey maybe i'm blind but I can't seem to find a list of the components that he used for this flight... Any motor list or something? Also what was the reasoning for 4S rather then 6S?"

Al Creigh replied to Al Creigh's discussion What if I place APM 4 inches right of CG?
"So when you say not ideal like what are the issues that will arise?"

So I have a new build that I'm constructing, It's a right winged Z2 flying wing.I was thinking about placing my apm in one of the side walls just right of the battery compartment. This would be about 4 inches right of where the CG would be. Will…

Al Creigh replied to steve's discussion Why do xBees have to be constantly debricked?
"Sorry for the necro on this thread, but I was wondering if anyone had the old ardrupilot firmware that was used to prevent the boot up bricking of the Xbee radios?"

Al Creigh replied to Al Creigh's discussion Exteral Coding into APM
"Hi James,

I'll definitely look into this, so I'm guessing you can write and adjust this coding in any way you like? You can write code to set it up to perhaps use a specific bank angle or hold a certain bank angle when switched into a certain mode?"

So I had a few questions about the coding and algorithms for the APM.First I beileve the software is all open source if i'm corect. Does anyone know where I can get the raw coding for the different ardrupplane versions?Also what language is the…

I was wondering if you guys could tell me what the benefits of having the airspeed sensor on my plane would bring? I know it says In windy conditions, slow speed and landings. But what does it actually do. Stability in wind? Does it give me a more…
