"Hi James I managed to get mine working with a small circuit and an arduino. I will write it up in a blog and post it so you can take a look. Hope it will help."
"Right after some comments about this post I feel I need to go back over it and explain a little better.
A few years ago I was on the UK series of Robot Wars. Since then then robot I built has been sitting gathering dust so I recently decided to…"

Hi, I am looking for a way to connect an arduino to the trainer port of the DX6i and send ppm commands to my drone. I have found a few people reading the ppm signal from the trainer port to use the DX6i in flight simulators but I want to go the…

"Thanks Chris I got it to work following the instructions below found on http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Wireless
Set baud rate of both to 57600
Make each device have matching PAN ID numbers (not sure if this step is needed because I…"

I have changed my xBees so they work on 57600 but when i try and connect using APM2 it just times out. If I connect using the USB cable it works fine. Can anyone help? If i use old firmware and the old Configurator it connects using the xBee without…
I have got my quad to the stage where it will fly and i get about 7 minutes runtime from my 11.1v 1800mah Lipo. I wanted to try and extend the runtime so i purchased a 11.1v 4000mah Lipo. The first time i flew the quad with the new battery the quad…
"Hi,
Sorry for the delay on this i broke a prop and had to wait for a new one to come into stock. I still cannot find an answer to this. So far i have tried the following.
Replaced both speed controllers on the roll axis. (no effect)
Swapped the…"

"Right i have managed to test stable mode fully now so i thought i would try a small test flight but i have come across another issue.... As i spin up the throttle the quadcopter tilts to the right. I can counteract this to a degree with the roll…"
"Thanks John and Randy, this sounds good. I will try an actual flight this week and let you know how it goes."
"These two pics show the quadcopter output one on stable mode and one on acro mode. As you can see the adrucopter just isnt sending out the motor commands.....stablemode.jpgacromode.jpg"
Hi i have been having issues getting my home made quadcopter to fly. To test bits out i built a rig so i could spin it up but keep it tied down. Basically when i increase the throttle two motors stop spinning and while the other two spin up fine.…
"I have had a few random issues with the recent release too. When i tilt my quadcopter only two of my props turn ( Roll Axis) Nothing i do can get the other two to work (pitch). I have tried resetting as you have done but it has had no effect.... I…"
Hi, I have an issue with the flight modes on my quadcopter. of i put it in acro mode and move the right stick on my controller with the throttle at min each prop will spin up, if I put it in stable mode the right stick seems to stop working infact…
Hi, I have finally got my quadcopter fully built but i am having some random stability issues. When i take off it seems to drift in one direction, I can counter act this using the RC transmitter but after a while it seems change and will become…
Hi, Does anyone know if the Arducopter code is developed enough for battery monitoring. I can see a section in the code but is it actually used at this time? If it is can you give me some pointers on getting it up and running. I currently have a…
