Hi Folks
I have been building a variable pitch tricopter and wanted to share my results so far.
Basically - I chose a tri and not a quad, because the tri geometry is the same as a traditional heli 120 deg swash plate. Since I can't write a firmware on
Hi folks
This is a bit off topic but hopefully I can get advise on this
I currently have three quads including a 400mm mikropter which is still my most reliable platform but I am really happy with my arduquads and I am likely not to continue the mikr

I am wondering if there are any safety features that are built into the code that for example would prevent the mMotor from running if return to home or one of the other auto modes is accidently triggered while the plane is on the ground??

I was using a castle 10amp BEC to power receiver and ardupilotmega. Yesterday, I plugged my battery to do more testing on the arducopter firmware. The arducopter just would not initialize correctly, and after much troubleshooting I discovere

I set up an new ardupilotmega system on a funjet and have great sucess with default everything.(xbee working great as well)
stabilization works great, as does fly by wire. I next tested return to landing - which worked remarkably well.

I am used to my mikrokopter quad spining the motors up when armed to the point of enough rotation to stabilize quad but not enough to lift off the ground.
On my arducopter - the motors do not spin up at all once armed.
I have had a few minor

doing alot of testing and have experience instability at "low throttle" close to the ground mostly in a bit of wind.
On my MK when the the motors are armed, they spin up to a definable minimum throttle level. That means the motors will never

My quad with latest V2 code is really flying well and I am very happy. However, I still have not discovered a clear answer as to the proper way to "power" the APM (and receiver) during USB communication. With the ESC's getting power from bat

I am really having a problem with my yaw stability and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
1st if compass is diabled in either Arducopter 2.x or ardupirates code. I have excellent yaw control just like on my mikrokopter.

Thanks to Jason and DIY drones / ardupilot community for creating all this for us!
I have been fooling around with latest arducopter 2 beta 1. So far everything has gone very smoothly
Quick question. where do we define how our magnetometer is moun

I just jumped into this and got APM with airspeed, ublox GPS, and magnetometer.
Build was easy due to excellent instructions on the wiki.
I uploaded code and went through CLI setup as per instruction and ran as well as test code from library.
