Hi folks,
I've just noticed that the logs / tuning graph shows RC 6/7/8 having output even though there is no actual output. Once I press the safety switch then the outputs really do spring to life.
I have channel 6/7/8/9 set to rcPassThru (1) and watc

I had a quad Pixhawk, 3.2, which has had two "wobbles" in the air. Both occasions it looked like one motor shut down. On both occasions it turned back on and had enough height to recover (while falling I throttle at 100%)
Sadly the third occu

Not sure if this is the best place to put this but pretty sure I'll be pointed in the right direction if not :)
Today I did a bit of filming and would have loved a feature whereby I could get a steady forward motion and then lock that forward

Could MP's waypoint grid be made to use the full width available and not auto-size?
I have plenty of screen left over but it MP is truncating the drop-down options.
Many thanks

I've just changed my APM2.6 to a pixhawk and noticed the motor test is out of sequence which is a bit confusing.
Normal motor test spins motors in turn from "front and right of centerline and clockwise around the frame"

I want to extend the GPS and mag cables so that I can mount it on a arm of my hex. Is there a length limit? 30cm OK?
Seeing as you cannot get a 5pin to 6 pin df13 (why oh why?) I'm going to splice them, preferably into one cable. Any good

I've just this minute updated MP to whatever version it downloaded. It restarted and worked ok. I closed it and when I try reopen it now it immediately dies.
Hi folks,
Could we please have a big menu button to snooze the voice readout? I like the prompts but it gets like a nagging wife when you are changing batteries or reading log files.
Also, we we make it so that it reads out sensible things? I have n

It was working fine then next flight it refused to connect with the message "23 packets received but no parameter packets where received" [sic]

I tried updating the firmware (3.0) and it failed. It seemed to leave the old 2.9 on though as I could still fly and connect.
I cleared the eprom through terminal and tried again. Failed again.
It downloads the firmware and then seems to

Is it possible to make Andropilot report the WP with an offset so that it can follow x meters behind me, x meters above me?
Another request would be of it to fly alongside me and look at me (90 degree yaw).

I've just installed Andropilot and it looks great!
Forgive me if I am being a twit but I can''t find any reference here or the wiki or work it out in the app - is it possible to connect with bluetooth?

I tried getting follow-me working with my phone and bluetooth-xbee bridge I made.
There is no problem with the bridge, it connects and I can change details on the quad from the phone.
When enabling follow-me, the qaud just stays in the same p

I've just loaded 2.7 on my APM2 and needed to reset the gimbal settings.
The quad was powered with the lipo and disarmed with the tx standing next to the quad.

I have a stock 3DR with APM2 (default PID parameters) and sonar.
This is the first time I've flown the APM2, having upgraded from the APM1.something.
Whenever I pitch it forward, it does as expected but gains a lot of altitude rather quickly.

Still trying to sort out what's up with my APM2 (tumble weed blowing across the other threads :( ) but I find an explanation to the flashing LEDs.

My pregnant wife is less temperamental than the connection to my new APM2.
It really is hit or miss getting it to connect. I've tried via xbee (both UART0/2 but more successful on UART0 on the side of the APM) as well as USB (with the "reset

I've spent the last 2 odd hours trying to get the Spektrum receiver to work with the PPM input with no luck :( I am trying to gather up bits so I can do a clear "how to" for this as it is all rather disjointed.
