Using FW 3.2.1 and APM 2.6, is there any issue with setting the telemetry channel to 115Kbaud? I realize that the USB port is already running at that speed, but was wondering if there are any software timing problems that could result from running S
I ordered a UBLOX NEO M8U GPS unit from Drotek in France. The GPS has dead reckoning built in, and will continue to provide position information even with no satellite reception.
If I'm using a PixHawk, and this GPS unit, what will the PixHawk do whe
I have a PixHawk - well, to be honest, I have a 'clone' - a 'FixHawk'. I know I should buy the real thing, but I have this thing now and I would like to use it.
At any rate, it connects via USB just fine and everything seems to work. When I bring u
Does anyone know of a GOOD controller that can be connected to Mavlink via USB and can actually be used to control a multirotor? I have purchased a dozen joysticks, simulator controllers, etc. but I haven't found any of them that is really what I
I have multirotor motors from several companies and none of them seem to have any varnish over the windings. I'm not talking about the varnish covering the individual wires, I mean that the windings don't seem to be glued down with varnish or epoxy
When in Joystick control mode using MP, It appears that MP won't allow the arming of a craft with the usual Throttle Min + Right yaw joystick movement. Is that the case? Or am I doing something wrong?
I have been trying without success to get the joystick option to work in Mission Planner. I have tried connecting first and not connecting. Nothing works. The program recognizes the joysticks, but does not save the settings. Whenever I quit MP an
I had an old APM flight controller (3.2.1 fw) that I thought I would put to work on a HEX. When I tried to calibrate the compass using MP 1.3.44, I got a "Compass Calibration FAILED" message. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the compass to cal
I have been looking for a way to have Mission Planner do an automatic failover whenever it doesn't receive a certain number of heartbeats from a given input.
For example: I want to connect using COM3: at 57600 baud, and if the channel no longer receiv
I just received a pair of RFD900+ radios, and was expecting them to work (more or less) out of the box when used in conjunction with my 3DR radios. But they don't
I used a USB <-> TTL adaptor to connect to the RFD.
I have been doing some testing (outside the US) that involve very high altitudes - 1800 meters or more. The climb takes no more power than coming down. Even though going up takes more power per minute, coming down is slower, so the total power consum
I'm using an APM2.6 board, and a 3DR voltage/current sensor board. I had to adjust the voltage multiplier upwards in order to get the voltage readings correct
BUT...
