"It's a waste of money to buy an APM 2560 having an APM 1280 except if you want to upgrade the code by your own and 128k flash is not enought for you."
"I still dont understand why is a DCM so important if I can just integrate gyro and low pass accelerometers. Could somebody explain me? Thanks in advance."
"I happened to me three times, I've saved twice, the last time I lost one motor. I'm using turnigy 25A plush with APM 1.0
it happens when I connect USB and battery together"
"I'm trying to fly with 2.08 but I aways have the same problem: motors wont rise together when I increase throttle. When I upload the code from planner (0.4.35) it works fine, but when I download from arducopter download section "Arducopter…"
Its just for curiosity, my quad is working fine now, but I measured in the scope the PPM output from APM to ESC and I noticed that its is arround 3V, is it common? shouldnt it be 5V? update rate arducopter.png
I was testing flight time today with 2 batteries: 4S 5000mAh and 4S 3300mAh. With the heavier battery I didnt notice the problem but when I changed the battery to the lightter one I did notice that It was jumping, some times rolling peaks, sometimes…
"I'm having the same problem. I couldnt fly with ArduCopterMega 2 yet because it wont take off ( it crashes ).
I'm using the current code from svn.
I erase eeprom, calibrate RC, calibrate level set + mode, compass off and sonar off.
The GPS doesnt…"
"I'm having the same problem... it won't change much to use a faster loop if my ESC works on 50Hz...
For altitude, I would use only sonar for lower altitude and for higher altitude pressure + accel integration.
You can use a lowpass filter on the…"
