Adventurer, dog lover, and now, quad copter pilot and engineer.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have just recently been introduced to the world of autopilots. The only things i had flown in the past were old school rc helis, and planes. Looking into starting a business doing aerial mapping, and a bunch of other things to do with drones.

"your battery couldnt handle the current it takes to climb in the initial stages of rtl. It looks like you are using a very low c rated battery, and it was dead by the time RTL kicked in. Set your voltage failsafe higher to avoid this in the future."
"How hard would it be to integrate one of these into a pixhawk? Is it just a matter of soldering on the right connector, or is there some additional code needed?"
Hi there, I have been running dual GPS's since I found out that the support had been added. But I have not seen anything in mission planner, or a log to say that the GPS switch is actually happening. Yes I have gps auto switch turned on and set both…
"Interesting.... I had just finished tuning rate I and all was fine, then i was flying around once i had it tuned. I didnt touch the ch6 knob though before it crashed. I had this problem right before I flew it to tune. The low/high values did not…"
"Okay, so its been a rough week for my birds.
Just had a crash on 3.3rc1 with a y6b. I was doing some fast circles when all of a sudden it went out of control and crashed to the ground. Looking at the logs I think I cracked/broke a prop in flight as…"

"Correct, but I could have had a 5v bec plugged into the + and - pins on the pwr module, and that would have saved my bacon. Pixhawk would only have shut down power to the rail, not shut off completely. At least that is how I understand it now. Am i…"
"Using u10's on 12s. but I am upgrading to u11's now. U10's were a little bit underpowered."
"No i was not using a power module. I am running 12S, so i have the 180A atto pilot in there. but without a bec on the 5v and gnd wires to the pwr module port."
"Maybe have a quick look at my flight log. Make sure I am correct as to the cause of this crash. I dont want to rebuild this thing in generally the same manor thinking I have nailed down the cause of the crash just to have it crash on me again.…"
"This post is actually about an incident with a 3.2.1 large quad, but the fix should go in the next release. I have been flying a very large 14kg quad and all was going rather well with the exception of a lack of power. But what happened was…"
"I will upload the logs later today. I have one more question... Can I assign another channel other than 7 to trigger the camera? I actually want to trigger 2 cameras. 1 on channel 7 and one on channel 9-12. I recieved a stratosnapper that does not…"
"So i just maidened ac:3.3 on my Y6. Flew great! Except for one exception, well two really. But the second one is not an ac3.3 issue, just a satellite issue.
First issue: It seems as though every time i plug in my birds I get BAD AHRS errors. This…"

"Hi, I purchased a Zubax, and it came today. There is no documentation anywhere that states how to turn on the UAVCAN bus on the pixhawk. There is no parameter named UAVCAN-anything. Even in the CLI in MP it says there is no parameter called UAVCAN…"
"wouldnt compass interference only translate into yaw motion? it pitched over to 30 degrees and started flying away."
"Hey Guys,
I just loaded ac 3.2 with mission planner 1.1.12 and it seems I have some issues. I almost had 3 flyaways today while in loiter. I just finished this big bird and have been having some ESC issues with it as well. I do not suspect the esc…"

Hey everybody,I was wondering if anybody knows whether or not you can use an airspeed sensor with arducopter. As I understand it, with arduplane, the airspeed sensor acts like a barometer as well. And if so, I was wondering could an airspeed sensor…
