HyI currently use two NEO-M8N uBlox GPS/GLONASS receiver. Now since two identical manufactured GPS receivers do not really help for reliability I like to use one uBlox NEO-M8N and another manufactured one.Does someone have experience with other brand
Read more…DJI has just released a new video with a new feature which comes very handy when you film from a copter and do all the camera controlling by yourself.
You can slowly accelerate to maybe 10km/h then flip a switch on the transmitter and its keeping this

I currently use the new Terrain function in ArduPlane a lot. However most of the time I'm not connected over MavLink to my laptop and fly FPV around. Now to get the terrain data you either have to be connected to MissonPlaner or upload a mission wi

I fly a QAV400 with Pixhawk and 980kv motors. I had done several AutoTunes in the past with this setup without any problems.
Now I upgraded the motors to 1100kv ones and now it happend.
Used the same PID as for the kv980 and set the copter to autotun

It flies really well in stable mode or in acro mode with some expo. The

Again a hard morning...
After a prop failure 5 days ago I have now really trouble getting the copter with v3.0.1 into air. Before the crash I flew the RC1 version of the 3.0.1 Firmware without any problems. Now I switched to 3.0.1 and didn't

Has someone already tried to add or change some code so that the plane would fly without an RC-Receiver?
Otherwise I have to do it by myself, just like to ask firs

I tested the 3DR GPS uBlox LEA-6 for high altitude however I discovered something strange.
In the datasheet of the uBlox LEA-6 it’s written that the altitude limitation is at 50'000m so you could use it for ballooning. However I tested it with an AP

I just saw in the Arduino code of the ArduPlane 2.5 that there are a lot of "gcs_send_text_P"
example:
gcs_send_text_P(SEVERITY_LOW, PSTR("Failsafe - Short event on, "));
gcs_send_text_P(SEVERITY_LOW,PSTR("Demo Servos!"));
Where do they show up in the
