Issue with APM 2.62HIL
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
Read more…Receiver failsafe issue with APM2
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 fail

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 the
four control channels. The system is in manual mode

APM missing resistor?
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 batte
Configtool location
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 c

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 Auto
When I move the elevator and rudder control sticks in manual mode the control surfaces move as expected. When I do the
Ardupilot uploading problem
I'm working on a ATMega168 version of Ardupilot. I have added the airspeed sensor shield. As far as I can tell (from the leds and voltmeter readings) I have put it together properly. Today I downloaded Ardupilot software version 2.1.2. I did modify t

I am working with the ATMega168 version of Ardupilot (s/w version 2.1.2). I believe this configuration can support the airspeed sensor but am not 100% sure of this. I know that digital pin 8 must be connected to MUX IN 3 but where would the signal li

Up until today there were a number of useful blogs attached to the Ardupilot page. I was particularly looking for one that discussed the configuaration utility and field setup. Can anyone tell me where they have gone?cheers, Fred
