Negative heading values with magnetometer
Anyone know why my magnetometer headings are negative? I made sure my MAGORIENTATION is set.

Newbie flying tips
Yesterday we were flying our quad on a big running field. Flight was very good and stable. But one thing we notice is that the throttle is too powerful. A slight increase in throttle results in a huge increase in altitude. At one point it flew very h

Yesterday we tried to test GPS hold. We activated it at an altitude of about 10 feet then it started moving around in a somewhat circular pattern and then it started losing altitude. It touched the ground a little bit then it kept flying and then we

What would be the best way to get automated waypoint navigation for Arducopter right now? Backport changes from the ArduCopterMega branch to trunk or RC2? How viable/feasible is this right now? What about Magnetometer heading hold i.e. fly automatica

How flight worthy is the trunk code? We are really interested on some features that are only available on the trunk code. How safe is it to attempt to fly with that code?

Is Arducopter an appropriate platform for our project?
We're a group of 3 senior computer engineering students and we're thinking of using Arducopter as platform for a class project. We want to build a prototype for what we call a "Power Line Analyzer". This power line analyzer would be an autonomous qua

Hello!
Does anybody know what ports are available on the ArduPilot Mega (or the IMU board) after building an ArduCopter ? I would like to add a few sensors to it and would like to know which ports are left available.
