Calvin R. Walker replied to Calvin R. Walker's discussion Adjust Airspeed In Flight in ArduPlane User Group
"Right, the airplane is not connected. I was showing where I was adjusting the speed and yet nothing was happening. Which brings up an interesting question. I have the unites set to FPS (feet pound seconds), but is the speed change button still in…"

"Thanks! We'll try this on our next flight.
By the way, I've included a picture and circled the command that we were using to attempt to change the airspeed in flight."

Calvin R. Walker replied to Calvin R. Walker's discussion Adjust Airspeed In Flight in ArduPlane User Group
"Yes. But when we command an airspeed change, it doesn't happen. I know there is a setting where you can set a typical cruise speed, but that might not always be convenient for what we are doing. Therefore, it would be nice to change it on the fly."

For our UAV project we are using the Pixhawk and Mission Planner 1.3.34. During flight we'd like to adjust the airspeed of the UAV. We are in AUTO mode flying the waypoints and are using the "Change Airspeed" under the ACTIONS tab. However, the…

Calvin R. Walker replied to David Baker's discussion MinimOSD says "Update Charset" on bootup, must reset first
"I'm having the same issue as described. I have the latest OSD firmware and Character set installed. I've tried various TELEM_DELAY times from 0 to 10 and the problem still insists. The default time was set to 0. By the way, I have the Pixhawk with…"

I have a Pixhawk with the latest MP and I'm sure latest firmware (v3.2). I'm connected through the USB albeit the external USB extension. When I go into terminal, I see a lot of noise. What could be the issue? See attached picture.…

I have a APM 2.5 that had an external GPS. I had an accident where the GPS module was destroyed. I see that 3DR only sells the GPS+Compass module. Can I use that with the APM 2.5 even though it has an internal magnetometer? Is there a way to disable…

Calvin R. Walker replied to FPVGenie's discussion Pixhawk power supply questions on Airplane
"So does this mean that the ESC with UBEC is connected to the servo output is enough to power the servos like for APM 2.5?"

Can APM still use FlightGear for hardware-in-the-loop simulation?

Calvin R. Walker posted a discussion in ArduPlane User Group
I'm not really sure if this is an issue or not or even where to find it if it is. So when I power up the APM 2.5 with sw load 2.74b, after the initial power-on test the aileron servos would lock up for about 2-3 seconds when I do rapid movements.…

"Graham, I too have a Bixler 2, but haven't flown it yet. I saw that you borrowed someone's param file. Can you point me to where you found this or send it to me? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

"James,
What's the distance between the APM platform and the bottom of the canopy? In other words, what's the length of your standoffs?  Thanks.

Calvin"
