"ANother thing that happens is that unless you have some aluminum or kapton tape over the area you will probably blow the tiny caps and resistors off the PCB. And believe me, once they are gone, you are in a fix. Get a nice close up photo of this…"
" @ Paul N Braida M.E, yes you can swap out from another APM, and I have done the surgery. But you must have a hotair rework tool. And it is rather fiddely to be certain. The compass may be purchased new from Ebay in multiples of 5 for less than one…"
"Just throwing this into the mix here and I apologize if it is not the correct forum gents, but there is little time left to take advantage of this great offering. I thought it my duty to bring to your attention this invention from a German group of…"

During an attempted Compass Dance, I was trying to get a good distance from my laptop during a Compass Calibration while I was reinstalling my APM 2.5 in its frame after changing out the method of powering. I had just allowed an update Mission…
"Nice photo session. I wish I could shop there :-> I am intrigued with the use of the multiple I2C, that must daisychain. May I ask you, with a battery as large as 3S 2600mah, are you powering all but the ESC's with it? I am trying to decide the…"
