Yesterday I received the PixHawk I ordered on January 2nd. Four week delivery time is pretty good for a new FC from 3DR!
But I've had all kinds of problems trying to use it. First I tried using the USB connection to a Mac (running OSX 10.9.1) and alt
Read more…I have a question about two fields in the on-board log files :
1) How do you interrupt the time in the GPS field. It doesn't seem to be NMEA or time-since-epoch.
2) Is there an enumeration of the I2CErr values in the PM log record?
Thanks

Upload succeeded but verify failed: exp C got 14 at 0
I've had the same problem using 3 different USB cables and on 2 different computer
I'd like to ask for a feature request - when telemetry is running, would it be possible to periodically update and show the current home position. Since the home position can be reset if RF & Electrical noise cause a bad GPS reading during flight, i

Well, it dawned on me yesterday

Short of that, is there a check-in comment stream on the source code?
Thanks
Read more…I just added an AttoPilot to my setup, mainly to monitor current consumption. Has anyone else done this?
In MP, all I see is 0 current consumption, no matter how much load I put on the circuit. When I use a DMM to measure the signal coming from the

I'm trying to get QGroundControl running on my Mac with APM, no luck so far.
Read more…I have a weird question - is there a trick for creating waypoints in the Flight Planner with a mouse click? Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn't'. When it doesn't, I need to quit the application and restart it, then it sometimes works.
Read more…HobbyKing is selling the Orange R710 Spektrum compatible 7-channel receiver which in addition to the usual PWM outputs also has a PPM/SBUS output.
I'd love to be able to use this as a PPM input into an APM2, but am concerned about channel assignments.

I'm powering my FC using the power from an ESC's BEC on the output rail. Coming from the BEC I see 5.1 volts. The board seems to power
