Anyway to download the 2.6.8 ArduPilot Firmware

Just so I could have the actual binary that gets downloaded by Mission Planner, I would like to have the Arduplane 2.6.8 Firmware - not the source. Any place to get it?

APM2.5 ( Ardupilot 2.6.5) IMU - Poor Orientation Results in Actual Aircraft

 I have been using an APM 2.5 in an actual aircraft connected to my laptop running Mission Planner just for recording pitch/roll/yaw and comparing it to the "gold standard" G1000 logged data while doing a few roll and pitch step control tests. When I

MP 1.2.25 on XP using USB (driver is atmeaga2560.inf) says "Comx doesn't exist"

 Tried the latest (1.2.25) Mission Planner on XP 32 -bit, made sure the atmega2560.inf driver was installed (Device Manager says it is there), fired up MP and tried to connect. It shows "(COM5) Atmega2560" in the MP connect area - had the baud rate a

Option to Eliminate Asking for Update in MP

Michael,

   I appreciate the updates of MP but I don't like to have to be careful to say NO to the update whenever I startup. I am staying with an older version that works for me but I could wipe it out anytime I startup if I screwup and answer YES to

Where (what pins) to connect +5volts to ArduIMU from other Arduino cards

I am using an ArduIMUv3, an APM2.5, and an Arduino UNO.

I am able to use one USB (or both)connector to either the APM or the UNO to both load programs and supply power - even if I connect the UNO to the APM via an RC 3-wire servo wire connector.

Pitch and Roll are noisy (+- 1 degree) with new LEA-6 Ublox

I am using APM Version 2.65 firmware (no changes) - just downloaded from Mission Planner and upgraded to a 3DR GPS uBlox LEA-6 from the standard GTPA010 for improved GPS performance. Now I get a very noisy (+1 degree) roll and pitch signal (when stat

How do you get Mission Planner to startup with the Flight Data windows in the position that you last shutdown

Must be a simple - already answered? - question.

How do you get Mission Planner to startup with the Flight Data windows in the position that you last shutdown with.

Comparison of xgyro, ygyro with rollspeed, pitchspeed which are extremely noisy

 I have compared ( with plots ) xgyro / ygyro with rollspeed / pitchspeed and found them to be quite different in that rollspeed / pitchspeed have a very large amount of noise that pretty much overwhelms the ability to see the underlying rate. The no

how to set the area for prefetch

I can't find the commands or concept to set the terrain area for image prefetch. Do you use googleearth to build a polygon file to import. Sorry if I just didn't see it.

signal quality of mavlik xgyro versus rollspeed

I have been plotting mavlink_attitude rollspeed and pitchspeed as well as mavlink_IMU signals xgyro and ygyro and find that the ___speed variables to be very noisy whereas the _gyro signals are very clean. Yawspeed and zgyro are both low noise. Is it

IMU Recalibration every time you connect to Flight Data in Mission Planner

I like to keep my tlog files short while I am doing multiple tests with APM 2.5 on the ground hooked to my laptop - therefore, I "Disconnect" (hit the far right button on MP - the APM is still powered by the USB cable) to end that tlog file. Then whe

Not sure that rollspeed and pitchspeed are correct signals by the time they get to Mission Planner plots

I am plotting pitchspeed (pitch rate) and rollspeed (roll rate) on the Mission Planner and I can't see a useful rate through what seems to be so much noise that it would overwhelm the correct signal. Yawspeed, on the otherhand looks just fine. I am p

Units Questions and super noisy signals for MP Graph Log function

I am using very recent APM2.5 firmware 2.6.3 and Mission Planner 2.1.12 and want to know the correct units for the tlog graphs (as well as units for the TUNING plots and CSV Conversion files if different). Here is my analysis from a tlog running with

How to parse tlog CSV format to use Excel to display flight parameter

  I would appreciate some help in being able to parse a CSV version of a tlog file in order to plot various parameters with Excel or equivalent. I want to plot pitch, pitch rate, pitch accel etc. Thanks much

Test my APM 2.5 by riding along in a friend's aircraft

Hi all,

   I would like to test out my APM 2.5 by riding along in a friend's aircraft and seeing the data (pitch, roll, accelerations, altitude, etc) from the APM hooked to my laptop. I would like to record the data while flying and plot it out using

Problems getting your Ardupilot Mega with IMU++ shield working correctly

Hi all,

Had a problem with getting ch1_max and ch2_max not getting set high enough

I am not test flying but only bench testing 2.5 and as I tested the output of the stabilize mode (and autopilot as well), I noticed that during the 2 or so second max stick movement before "remove before flight" jumper, the rudder/elevator max vales
