The videos referenced in the Arduplane wiki do not function. They are supposedly "private" Can anyone assist?
I'm running APM 1(1280). If I load Arduplane 2.62 with the APM planner, the MAVLINK connection is successful. If I load Arduplane 2.62HIL the MAVLINK connection is unsuccessful (only one heartbeat received).Anyone know whether this is an Arduplane…
I have Hitec R/C equipment in my APM2-equipped Telemaster. The rx is the Optima 7. This rx has a failsafe capability where you can select the throttle setting and the control surface position when signal is lost. Loss of signal results in the…
I am trying to get my Arduplane working in simulator mode (X-Plane) and am not having much success.I have a Hitec RC system; a 2.4G Optic6 Tx and an Optima7 Rx. I have servos attached to thefour control channels. The system is in manual modeI…
While troubleshooting another issue with APM, I noticed there was a pair of pads unused on the board. One pad is connected to pin 1 (PG5) of the ATmega1280 chip. The APM schematic shows there is a 1K resistor (R8) connected to pin 1 (the other pad…
I successfully setup my arduplane (APM 1280) with s/w version 2.24. Everything checked out with the ground tests. Yesterday, when I tried to update to v 2.26 something went wrong. The symptoms are as follows.The rx/servos are powered by a 5v…
"I'm assuming Jason is pleading for programming help as well as testers. I may be wrong but I think the availability of additional capable programmers would help the development of AP projects. As for me, a beginner programmer, I am planning to stick…"

"Hobby-Lobby.com sells and distributes the arf version. I got mine from a Canadian distributor of Hobby Lobby products. I don't have any other source for you"

Unfortunately I had a serious accident with my Telemaster. While troubleshooting an IR stabilization issue, it ended up in a vertical dive. Using all my beginner skills I pulled out too hard and the wings folded. It is now a major rebuild…"

I have been out of the loop for some time but am now in the process of putting together a new ardupilot. I went looking for the version of the Configtool that is in the instructions which is supposed to be in the Google code repository. However I…
Hi, I have used the Mode Switch Test software to confirm I am set up for: POSITION 1 Manual POSITION 2 Fly_by_wire POSITION 3 AutoWhen I move the elevator and rudder control sticks in manual mode the control surfaces move as expected. When I do the…
"Once you have established a good airspeed while flying and GPS is giving you course over ground (with respect to true north) and speed over ground, I don't see how you can compute wind speed and direction. I would argue that you also need true…"
"Hi fefenin
I carried out the procedure you suggested with V1.4.12. The home position read worked perfectly after the D6 bind and after a read when I moved the map home a short distance. As far as I can tell, the problem is solved. Thanks Happy"

"version 1.4.11 is working for me!"
"I did a D6 bind procedure and a read. Made sure the "Set Manual" window was clear. The read was successful but the Home Position box did not display the home position. I read it with Jordie's version and the correct home was displayed, in the box…"
