Does anyone use the follow me flight mode with the Pixhawk? I am based in the UK and I am trying to find the most suitable equipment to use for the GPS dongle. Ideally I would like it as lightweight and small as possible. I am hoping to get some…
"I have been using 3.2-rc1 on my Pixhawk as it was supporting sbus. I have just tried to reflash it and the only beta firmware I can find is V3.1.5-rc2 which doesn't work with my Rx on Sbus. Where can I get the previous V3.2-rc1? Thanks."
"I disabled all my bluetooth com ports and the direct USB connection works perfectly now. I will try the 3DR radio telemetry later today. Thanks for the tip! I would never have thought of that!"
"This morning I have uploaded v3.2-rc-1 using the beta firmware option in mission planner. I can confirm that my R7008SB worked straight away.
My set up:
T14SG Tx
R7008SB Receiver
I have a cable connected to channel 8 on the receiver and mode B is…"

"Does anyone have a step by step guide on how to overcome this problem? After reading all the comments I am not sure what does and doesn't work.

"Will there be support for *12 configuration (Coaxial Hexcopter configuration) in future releases? I think this option is a possibility on the pixhawk?"
Hi All,I had a crash with my hexcopter and I have been diagnosing the problem. I decide to run through the setup again and I discovered that the compass was not working and this would explain the problem. As it was a new board and compass I decided…
"Thanks for your reply.
As I mentioned, I am 99% sure it is the laptop that is the problem. I was hoping there was a setting on the laptop that I haven't thought to check. A hitch with windows firewall or something like that. I know the telemetry is…"

Hi all,I have a very frustrating problem with connection to APM2.6.I can connect to the APM using the USB lead on both my PC and laptop. (I do most configuration on PC and use laptop in the field). I can then also connect to the APM using mission…
"As Phillip mentioned the angle is there mainly to aid stability. Another example where this principle is used is in the rockets used to launch the shuttle. The thrusters are at a slight angle to aid stability at the expense of a slight loss in…"
"I am having a similar problem but only on my new(ish) laptop.
I have mission planner 1.2.87 installed on my desktop and can connect to the ardupilot through USB or the 3DR radios.
As soon as I plug the radio into my laptop I can no longer connect…"
