Hello,after hours and hours of searching on the internet i am still not able to stream video from my webcam( that is attached to my Rpi2/Navio2) to my PC through VLC. I have found pages and pages but nothing works.. When i do type lsusb i can see…
Hello,as I plan to extend my flight time and distance range, I decided to proceed with the build of a Li-Ion battery pack. I know that generally the disadvantage of Li-Ion 18650 batteries is the low discharge rate that they offer, so I need to be…

thanks for your comments.."

"Dear Bill,Doug,
sorry for my late reply but I was away from home for business..
I attach a picture that shows a more complete connection diagram (sorry for the quality). I did try to fly the quadcopter as it is as the Vcc value now is in an…"

"Dear DOug,Bill
I now connected the ground from radio telemetry to APM (see below image) as well but the situation remains.. My measured values are almost the same
Is this a dangerous situation or as long as my hwvoltage value is steady 4.94V i…"

"Dear Bill,
ok i can try to connect the ground from radio to APM as well...
I dont have any other BEC connected.. I am using the DHI E310 propulsion kit that uses the DJI 420S ESC. As far as I know those ESC's do not contain any BEC's...
My JP1…"

"Dear Goud,Bill,
I have installed the BEC as we said according to the schematic of my previous post, and here are my findings..
When I connect APM to Mission Planner, my hwvoltage value is now almost steady playing between 4.90V and 4.94V. So…"

"Dear DOug,Bill
in order to conclude, according to your notes the final schematic I should follow is this ??
Is this BEC's characteristics appropriate for my case ??? --> http://www.ariesrc.gr/6302-dys-sp-3a-5v-switching-bec.html
Thanks a lot…"

"Dear Doug,
I have created a schematic of how the radio telemetry, the BEC and APM should connect to each other... Is is correct ??? If yes, where should the negative line of the BEC's output be connected ???
Thanks and Regards,"

"Dear Doug and Bill,
so if i understand correct, if my fuse is 500mA the only solution is to use a BEC??? If it is a 1A fuse I could use the usb to power my 500mW radio module. Correct?? Is there a way to check what fuse I have ??
If I have to use…"

"Dear Bill and Doug,
thank you for your help.. I have two questions...
1) given that my radio module has both molex and microusb ports(see image below),what if I power the 500mW radio through the usb port of the APM after I have disconnected the…"

"Dear Doug,
I did tonight some measures again. Please have a look of my measures in the attached picture..
The first fact is that I always get 0.3V lower measures if i measure between the GND of PM and the positive input PWM pin compared to the…"

"Dear Doug,
I will wait for your response..
changes in APM v2.81) 100uf cap in Vcc and 10uf tantalum capacitor added to stop 3.3v bad gyro health issues2) Replacement of the (not used/redundant) 1.0mm 6p old GPS port with df13-4P I2C external…"

"Dear Doug,
so as you mention probably the APMs that I am buying have some quality issues and thats why i am seeing the Vcc voltage fluctuations ???
My background says that i am an automotive/mechanical engineer working in the computational…"

before testing the above as you mentioned I would like to tell you that yesterday night I replaced my APM unit with another new APM 2.8. Now, when I connect the battery and everything connected to APM, in the same measurement points…"

"Dear Doug,
my quadcopter is flying nice in terms of performance. However, I think I experienced just once a brownout. I was hovering luckily at 2m above ground and suddenly everything turned off and felt to the ground without damage.
As you…"
