Hi there,
I have the APM 2.5 with compass on board mounted at yaw270 using Board Orientation (AHRS_ORIENTATION) but haven't touched the Compass orientation (COMPASS_ORIENT).
Should COMPASS_ORIENT also be orientated? or is this just for APM 2.6 when th

Anyone else flying a TBS Caipirinha with APM setup? I'd be interested to see how you set it up, what PIDs you are running and what layout you used.
I've got one that I'm still tuning (stabilisation is rubbish at the moment...) with

I pulled a few wires in the field from my minimOSD yesterday and seem to have fried something in my APM2.0 and minimOSD. Given the camera/Vtx is 12v, I'm guessing something might have touched a pin it shouldn't have... the only cables touche

I've got a Bixler 2 sitting at home waiting to be built with the plan to drop in my APM 2.0. As a modification to the Bixler, I was thinking about using some Strong Rare-Earth Button Magnets to hold the wings together rather than use the suppl

I've seen a few Android projects around using bluetooth bridges, but I was wondering if anyone had thought about connecting a 3DR radio to an IOIO board (IOIO board contains a single MCU that acts as a USB host and interprets commands from an

What's the process for updating the MinimOSD? I want to be able to upgrade to 2.6 on my APM, but I don't want to lose my OSD... and I can't for the live of me work out, nor find instructions on how to update the MinimOSD.
I've tried this:

Just recorded my first flight on a Quad with Camera + OSD on board. Seem to be getting a sh*t load of interference and trying to work out what I should expect before I start trying to improve it.

Hi there,
I've just setup my MiniOSD and have the Mavlink working, but I only seem to ever see 2 different flight modes even though I have several setup. The same thing happens on the Flight Planner too btw..
Is it possible to see the othe

I've got a frame (Quadrotor RM450 V2 Airframe) that can snuggly fit 12x45's with about 20mm gap between the props, which gives it enough physical clearance for the props to spin freely without worry about them hitting each other. I've flown it

Was looking at my engines as they were making a bit of noise after a crash and noticed that I've actually lost the fastener (is there another name for it?) that holds clicks onto the shaft and holds the engine together... does anyone know wher

I'm on my first quad and still have my training wheels on, so looking for some advice.
I've just added a plastic container (which seals very well) to the frame to provide some cover to the sensitive parts (APM 2, camera etc) and was wonderi

I’m on my first quadcopter build and have managed a successful couple of flights in what I think is Simple mode, but now I’d like to be able to assign different flight modes.

Hi there,
I've just finished assembling my first Quadcopter and am having a few issues, which I think seems to be engine related.
Basically 2 of my engines seem to have serious trouble spinning, the other 2 work fine and smooth. Spinning them by hand,
