"Hi Dennis,
My AP is working fine, finally I used big servos from HobbyKing:

These are powerful enough, maybe not so solid under heavy usage but at their price is no real hassle…"

"Thanks Kevin for the latest version, I will test it today.
Here are two pictures with the AP box with manual controls, in case the tablet thinks is time to have a nap:
The front panel with ON/OFF switch, ON/OFF LED, ARM button and LED, flight mode…"

"During today testings I had mixed and confusing results with (real) airplane Apollo Fox, Ardupilot and Andropilot, the latter being the most cooperative part. The Fox is a very twitchy airplane, it needs permanent rudder coordination even in level…"
"Hi Kevin,
I installed today the geared stepper motor for pitch axis and it was promising in flight tests, more powerful but I might need some more tune.
Now the question (of course): what mavlink packet are you using for a single goto waypoint? I…"

"Hi Kevin,
In a test flight yesterday I tried to compensate positioning errors using AHR_TRIM_X and AHR_TRIM_Y, positive values worked however andropilot don't let me input negative numbers to compensate to the other side.
My AP will fly side…"

"Hi Kevin,
How are you updating the flight mode, based on what packet? There is a situation in my configuration when the panel autopilot control (designed to work without external assistance like andropilot, having a mode switch and arm button) is…"

"From gcs-copter Java:
- from APM heartbeat get info:
MAVLink.CURRENT_SYSID = m.sysID;MAVLink.ARDUCOPTER_COMPONENT_ID = m.componentID;
- send a heartbeat presenting yourself:
msg_heartbeat msg = new msg_heartbeat();msg.type =…"

"Simply connect, listen for heartbeat messages which APM always sends and request your needed info with msg_request_data_stream packet - MAV_DATA_STREAM_ALL 0x00 will give you all."
"I said above, I will start with 2 Nm which is 17.7 lb/inch. Trio servos give 22.5 pounds of force with 1.6 inch arm radius, 36 pounds with 1 inch arm - they have more torque using internal gears."
"I forgot: in disarmed mode power voltage is removed from steppers which leaves them with no resistance to movements. Will be a good design to provide somewhere at the last connection a shear pin in the (highly improbable) event the stepper will…"
"Hi Tim,
I am using APM autopilot:

The autopilot is linking with Mavlink protocol over Bluetooth telemetry using BT Mate Silver module:
