"IMHO, even with all the RTOS autopilots and evolving hardware, there should be space for an extensible open-source autopilot that is part of the arduino ecosystem (if you want to call it that). Note that most folks would be perfectly happy with a…"
"Andrew,
Thanks for the update and congrats to your win.
I was flying 2.65 (last commit 1fe413e17d4634b2bc120dd76a0349e4d178090f to be precise) on APM 1 1280 a few days ago and noticed some strange startup effects. Before filing an issue I wanted to…"

"Hi,
I've been thinking along the same lines and didn't want to raise it because I was feeling bad about asking for more work of those dev volunteers. But in principle I think having a "stable" and an "experimental" line of releases shouldn't cause…"

"Hi Stefan,
may I ask around what area in Finland you're located? Myself I'm flying fixed wing with APM1 in the metropolitan area (Vantaa that is) and it would be great to see an X8 in real life after watching lots of youtube videos. But I see that…"

"A question about the software reboot: Code-wise it seems to be restricted to APM2. Is there any reason to believe the same method would not work for an APM1 1280 or is it just untested? Thanks!"
"Hi,
I wonder whether anybody else has problems with this current code and 2 aileron servos (i.e., RC_5 aux is the second aileron servo)? That worked fine previously but now behaves very strangely. Essentially deflaction into one direction is OK, but…"

"Hi again,
won't help your APM2 I'm afraid but I may have found another solution that may be interesting for APM1 users so I mention it here due to the lack of a better place. So it turns out there is an unused pushbutton on APM1's oilpan on pin 41…"

"Andrew,
Thanks a lot for the work and for keeping us in the loop! I'd also have a few questions that I may figure out myself looking at the code but since they are of general interest to APM 1 users I think they could be asked here:
- Chris…"

"Hi,
there appears to be a MAVLINK message type (mavlink_msg_set_gps_global_origin) that is inteded for that purpose (note that I am just guessing this by its name). However, it does not seem to be implemented in neither ArduPlane or ArduCopter based…"

"Hello Heino,
Hope you are still reading this :)
I finally built myself a simple (and not yet fully functioning) antenna tracker and wanted to get going on the antenna tracking side. However, I have some conceptual problems to understand the code at…"

"Hi,
had similar problems with a different Arduino board some months back. Google the error message and you'll find that there is a large number of causes and potential fixes. The way I got it finally solved was (I have no clue why this worked) with…"

"Jack, please continue blogging here and don't move (permanently, exclusively) to RCG. Your posts are much more interesting and refreshing to read than recent flame wars on certain open-source autopilot release cycles.
Being a huge fan of open-source…"

"Heino,
Thanks a lot for the update and also keeping your git clone up to date. Makes merging changes so much easier. I didn't get as much flight time this summer yet at least not as much as I would have hoped for. Since I switched APM to a different…"

"Great initiative this discussion. I have been trying to follow the other thread but it seemed to change directions all the time.
So how about doing as you suggest, enabling GF by default in a smallish box (say 100m x 100m x 100m) where point…"

"You could use the GPS library and try something along the lines of this here (cut&paste from various sources):
#include <FastSerial.h> #include <AP_Common.h>#include <AP_GPS.h>
#define GPS_SERIAL_BAUD 38400#define GPSP Serial1…"

"Heino,
Great, thanks for the update. Do you think it would anyhow be possible to use one of the source code repositories? This would make integrating changes much easier. The easiest way of course would be to put it into the APM git repo but that's…"
