I have been using an older Mission Planner with 2.8.1 on my hexa. I want to update my quad to 3.0. What is the best way to do this? I need the latest Mission Planner for 3.0 but don't you get all the new parameters when trying to use the old…
"Living in Canada I am very used to ITAR restrictions. One thing I did not see was any reference to how to handle the video out. Onboard recording like a GoPro is one way or transmission to the ground as with FPV flying is another. The data sheet…"
"Has anyone judged the jello differences between the various GoPros? I have the original GoPro and I find it really tough to isolate well enough. I have always thought a CCD camera would make it so much easier but as someone pointed out. The GoPro…"
"I have used 3S lipos directly to power camera and Tx a number of times without any smoke issues. One thing nobody has mentioned is brown-out performance. Your main battery pack voltage is going up and down a lot in direct proportion to your…"
"I bought the original Hero HD when they came out, worked for a few days and literally burned out. Smoke and an serious smell came out of the SD slot. I contacted them, they were quite apologetic and after sending them my camera, they sent me a new…"
"You are definitely saving uncompressed files if the size is huge. It plays poorly because computers have a ton of processing power but limited data bus bandwidth. I have done a lot of deshaking of GoPro data. Your success will depend greatly on…"
Where do I go to get 2.81? I have loaded 2.9 and done some test flying. I want to flip back to 2.8.1 to tyr something and I don't know where to find it. I thought I could go to: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/list but I only…
I am looking for a simple two stage RTL fail safe function. My scenario is probably a pretty common one. With loss of radio contact, my Futaba receiver goes to its own failsafe. This will trigger my failsafe operation, in my case RTL. For the…
"If numbers help I was going to ask for just that very thing."
"I have the exact same frame motors. Make sure you have thoroughly read the Arducopter tuning thread for ideas but I manually tuned my way to:P=.140, I=.010, D=.006.Following the guide and emphasizing getting D correct I wound up at P=.166, I=.010,…"
"What you are seeing is very normal and depends on the internal battery resistance. I also second the the quality of Hyperion cells. I use 4 year old 3300 mAh Hyperions and they are really good batteries. I use them in a number of sizes and everytime…"
"Based on the other thread, I should add to mine that I have no sonar sensor, My APM 2.5 is in the APM 2.0 little plastic case, there is black tape immediately above the baro sensor to block light, and there is a small cotton swab sitting on the…"
"What mode does this happen in? I have seen similar resistance to flying when I use Loiter and force it to change locations. In those cases I find it much more natural to switch to alt-hold, fly, then re-engage Loiter.
If this is happengin in…"

"I figured it out. My channel 7 was set to the default for setting way points. However I was using channel 7 for camera tilt. When I tilted the camera all the way down (not the channel end point), and I also turned the copter completely over, it…"
"Does anyone have a wiki link to the use of channel 7, I know I have seen it at one time."
