"Thanks for the quick reply. I will try your suggested versions tomorrow. I will also go to the ArduRover User Group from now on."
"My Arducopter has been grounded while waiting for spares so I thought I would give the Rover a try. After a couple of hours getting nowhere I started reading this blog, starting at the end. Thomas says "the learning mode is broken in the latest…"
"It looks like your right and it is the sonar. When I was testing the hexa after the build the sonar read 20cm which is expected as it was too close to the table. When I hung the hexa over the edge of the kitchen table the sonar read about 73cm which…"
The Hexa flies well with all default setting except rate roll which had to be reduced to 0.110 to stop it oscillating. When I switch on altitude hold the hexa climbs and keeps climbing. I have reduced rate roll in 0.01 stages from 0.11 to 0.06 while…
This morning I downloaded Mission Planner 1.2.5. Under the Com and Baud boxes is a hidden drop down box for Arduplane, Arducopter2, and Ardurover. When I clicked on it came up as Arduplane. Would having Arduplane set in the box effect what…
According to the "Arducopter 2.7 Released!" thread the 1280 is "out of program space". Is it possible for the development team to produce a final cut down version of 2.7 firmware that would fit the 1280 board? Perhaps cutting out some of the less…
"I was looking for something to do with my 1280 board after upgrading my Arducopter to the 2560. I thought I would try the APMRover v1.0 but am not sure if I can use the MT3329 GPS with Arducopter firmware. I would like to be able to use the same…"
"After watching the streaming of the Sparkfun AVC yesterday I wondered if you would be doing something similar for the rodeo? If not will you be uploading a video of the event for those that can't be there in person?"
"I dont know what the answer is but I have the same problem.
I am using MP1.1.63 with AC 2.5.3 on APM1 with 2560 board if that helps the dev team."

There are a lot of videos of well build and tuned quads out there.There are a lot of videos of quads failing to take off or crashing.Has anyone seen a video that shows the process of tuning a quad from start to finish? The reason I ask is that I can…
Can someone tell me what the 1.x means in the title of this forum?Is it firmware or frame related or something else?I assumed it was firmware related and that this forum would have died by now.The reason I ask is that there are 6 question in the…
When I try to connect using mission planner versions 1.1.51 & 1.1.52 I get a "No Heartbeat Packets Received" box after the time out.I don't have this problem with 1.1.50, have I missed something.I am using Windows Xp if that makes a difference.
I loaded Ardupirates r627 (with default settings) on my Hexa with a XL-EZ4 sonar and the Alt Hold was rock solid. No tuning was required and it didn't seem to matter what size battery was slung underneath it. I have now load AC2.4.1 with a XL-EZ0…
"Andre: Thanks for the info. Hopefully when Jason and the team pension off the 1280 there will be a final version of firmware that someone will pick-up and develop.
Don: Thanks for the link. The weather forecast is for wet and windy this afternoon,…"

"Is there a thread on the forum or link on the Wiki that discribes how to reduce the code to fit the 1280 board?
When the end comes I would like to load a final version on it so it can be flown in the future. I don't want my 1280 to end up gathering…"

I have loaded FW 2.3 and my quad is flying ok.My next step is to connect channels 6 & 7 and try tuning it for the first time.While looking at what options were available I found that there are two RTL settings. What is the difference between the…
