"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…"

"Yes. Not sure whether you can load it through MP though, you may need to use Arduino IDE or the Makefile/cmake."

"Sorry about your loss. I know it doesn't help you but this reminds me of the point why one may consider APM1 be the more appropriate autopilot for planes due to its hardware multiplexer. I'm fairly sure that this crash wouldn't have happened in that…"

"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…"

"Note that if you're comfortable with loading the code yourself via arduino it is relatively easy to make the current (git repo master trunk) fit to the 1280 by removing features. Note sure how this affects MP though but basic operations should work…"

"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…"

"Hi,
Check your PID settings. There were changes in the "interpretation" of their values, meaning in order to get the same or similar behaviour back you need to actually scale some of them. There is more detailed information in the 2.5 release…"

"Hi,
I have an APM1, Arduino Mega and 2 Uno's. Mostly used the Uno's for learning Arduino stuff that I wouldn't want to try out on my APM. IMHO, the main limitation of the Uno is that it has only a single serial port. For example, GPS and telemetry…"
