About Me:
I am a mechanical engineer and been flying RC for 25 years.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have an APM2 in a custom frame. I design and fabricate custom multirotor aircaft using my CNC router.

"Nils,
You know, now that I think about it, it might have been because I was not initiating communications with the 3DR radios to get the info flowing. I had them out of the loop during some of that time cause I have them going thru an OSD board I…"

"Nils,
I want to thank you again for the diagram. After getting home I had telemetry displaying on my Taranis in just a few minutes.
Regards,

"Nils,
No problem, I am guilty of doing the same from time to time. Cool, that is exactly what I needed, thanks. That shows me that I am not hooking it up correctly. I was using the tx and rx on the end of the board where the FTDI hooks up. I plan…"

"Nils,
If the above post was a reply to me, I must point out that I am not using the X8R receiver, I am using a D8R-XP, which I know some guys are hooking straight up to the Arduino, but I can't get it to work. Thanks for replying though.

"Hi guys,
I am trying to get telemetry displayed on my Taranis using an Arduino Mini Pro and a D8R-XP receiver. I used Xloader to upload the .hex file onto the Arduino. I now have a dim red LED and a slow flashing yellow LED. I have tried both…"

"I got mine about a month ago and I love it. Programming it takes a different approach, but not difficult. The programming possibilities are endless. I am used to a JR10SX, and this weighs nothing compared to what I am used to, but I will get used…"
"I too can verify that the flight mode switch will override the Ch_7 RTL. I know this because I watch a hexacopter plunge 300ft while returning home. The flight mode switch was switched to the loiter position so that the copter would be in Loiter…"
"Hugues,
The arm it self doesn't matter, what matters is the location of the motor in relation to the center of gravity of the copter. You could have an arm that is curved in all kinds of directions and the copter will not know the difference…"

"Angelo,
Take a look at this thread:

You have the same issue we have with JR tx using a FrSky Rx. This explains how to change the code to reorder the channels. I think Randy…"

"Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion, and what you have proposed is what I meant by channel to channel mixing. It might work, but it would be so much easier to go to CLI and type "map AETR" and be done with it....lol. If I get a chance this weekend I…"

"Hi Bill,
Thanks for replying. I wish it was that easy, but I am using a JR 10sx with the FrSky module, therefore I do not have the ability to change the channel assignment in the radio like you do in ER9X. I might be able to do some fancy mixing in…"

"It is your JR tx that is the problem. JR and Futaba assign the channels differently. The Arducopter software is setup for the Futaba channel assignment. I have the same problem and I have not been able to find a way of remapping the Arducopter…"
"I have been using basically the same setup for about 6 months and it seems to work well for me on my custom quad.. Mine are mounted on screws that stick up from the top plate. I put a hole through the earplug and use a washer and nut to kind of…"
"Yes, it would be nice to be able to do that, or assign the channels as you wish for what ever pupose,but so far our requests have gone unnoticed. I even requested an enhancement in the wiki. At the moment I am using the standard non-ppm method of…"
"I use an older JR 10sx helicopter radio to fly my multirotors. One advantage that I have found is the idle up feature offered by the heli radio. I use the pitch channel to control the flight modes of the multirotor. All you have to do is make the…"
