Can someone tell me what regulators we have on the APM1 and how good they should be ?looking at the 5V rail either off the telemetry port or the SPI port i have a variance of -+ 50mV so it varies between 4.61 to 4.69 VoltsTesting with a Agilent…

you don't need to know how to code to use a APM2 through just if you want to make the code better."

"what sort of distances are we talking ?"
"they may of added the patch to newer versions can't see anything in the change log through."

"I got around to setting mine up today (900mhz pair on a APM1) Soldered on some gold plated right angle headers because i had them instead. The wife's hair dryer doesn't seem to be good enough to the the heat shrink but it got there. plugged it in…"
"there is a new firmware already ... dam I forgot to buy a FTDI cable :("
"try jdrones ( http://store.jdrones.com/ ) and udrones ( http://www.udrones.com/ ) both DIY drones resellers
I brought a kit from Jdrones in January."

"basically the APM sends all it's data from sensors to the ground station so you can see what's going on. also experimentally you can control the UAV with the ground station and set mission planner locations.
as for what's best it depends on your…"

"Interesting idea, I guess my first question is how would you know a motor has failed ? except maybe a visual inspection by the pilot"
"seem to have run out of replies ??
do you have access to a CRO oscilloscope ?"

there is a video there as well"

"sounds like you'll have to redo the pcb design completely. not pretty :("
"ok so the problem here is method of communicating.
bluetooth doesn't have the distance 802.11a/b/g/n is too much code to implement on the APM.
no phone i know has xbee/zigbee/hoperf built in.
So if i was my approach would be to get a Usbdriod [1]…"

"ok first question is if I burn out one (which I have) can I replace it with the new model or do I have to replace all 4 to make it even ?"
"can't order because of "Our apologies, but although this product is listed as in stock, there is actually one component (6 Pin Right Angle Male Header)" :-( I have a pile of these on my desk can't work out how to order it without the part. any…"
