PX4 S.BUS Input [SOLVED]
I'll admit r/c receiver technologies are still somewhat mystical to me, so I would appreciate some input.
Is the SBUS output on the OrangeRx R800X compatible with the PX4IO SBUS input? This Rx is mentioned by name so I figure I must be doing somethin

Yesterday I fired up the motors for the first time on my new PX4-powered quad (firmware v2.9.1b). Going through the initial setup and calibration everything seemed fine, except that I could not perform an accelerometer calibration and I could only a

It would appear that it is possible to power an APM 2.0 with the 3DR Power Module by replacing one end of the DF13-6 cable with servo-style connectors for power and voltage/current sensing. Is this a good idea? If so, what is the pinout of the Powe

I have been working on making my flights more autonomous and so far I have had a great deal of success. The setup shown in the video has made eight successful fully automated flights with no operator input

How can the plane/copter/rover symbol displayed on the map be changed to a custom symbol? I have not had any luck searching for those icons in the "APM Planner" folder. Any advice would be appreciated!
Change Y6 motor order: Can it be done?
I'm building a new Y6 and I would like all of the motors to spin CCW, so that the three bottom motors are in effect giving the CW spin. From the diagram, it looks like this can be accomplished by swapping the servo cables for motors 2 and 3, and for

My 450 heli just made its maiden autonomous flight yesterday. Unfortunately, it became intimate with a tree when I apparently lost control of the aircraft. It was in Position Hold/Simple Mode for the whole flight, which initially went just fine. A

Just a heads-up to the community: your batteries may not be what you think they are. These were purchased off eBay and were advertised to be brand new 7.2v 5300mAh Ni-MH batteries. They were actually very old 1300mAh Ni-Cd batteries.
Streaming FPV to Mission Planner
I look forward to having Mission Planner be able to stream video from a network device. Until that glorious day arrives, is there some Rube Goldberg way to have video from an IP camera show up in Mission Planner?
Read more…"No GPS" Problem
So here's the issue:
My APM2.0 always has the 3DFix light go solid within a couple minutes, but quite frequently Mission Planner will display "No GPS" (and of course hdop:0 and sats:0) when connected via 3DR radios. I can get the GPS to register by d

For my current project, I would like to send telemetry/commands between the AMP2.0 and the computer via ethernet/wifi. The ethernet connection would replace the serial connection typically used by most folks. If I could find where the call to "Seri

I am looking to use ethernet to connect my APM2.0 to the ground station running Mission Planner. I see that Mission Planner has options to accept TCP and UDP connections, so I'm guessing this is possible. I am using an SPI to ethernet converter for
