Is it possible to have an aircraft maintain alt and heading while keeping a constant bank angle? i.e. roll to 45 degrees and maintain direction and alt? Any suggestions on which mode and settings to use would be appreciated.
Hi, running AC 3.2.1 on pixhawk. Camera is taking pictures via digicam controls, but no cam messages in the tlog. Do I need to download the dataflash logs, or is their some way to enable recording of the cam messages in the tlog?
Hi. My company needs some relatively simple fixes to Mission Planner. We are willing to pay cash, and these changes can be contributed back to the main distribution. Seems like a win-win to me. Anyone interested?
Just wondering if there is a unique identifier within a tlog that correlates back to a specific flight controller. I have several copters running pixhawk and sometimes can't remember which tlog goes with which copter.
Is it possible to tell the pixhawk the offset of your GPS mount location from the controller or CG? I would like to mount the GPS in the tail of my copter far away from the gimbal, ESC's and other sources of interference. However this means with 500m
After extensive researching I have concluded Mission Planner .kml flight paths and geotagging are generated using raw GPS data. We could have much cleaner, smoother, and more accurate flight paths if we used the IMU fused data. Any chance of getting
I keep seeing people claiming that a lower CG, relative to the prop plane, results in a more stable copter. Does anyone have any science to support this? Interestingly, rockets are LESS stable when the CG is below the rocket nozzle, and I wonder if m
I need to short 2 pins on an camera to trigger it. Is there a way to do this directly from a pixhawk? Or perhaps I have to make an external relay circuit driven by the pixhawk? I have tried several RC switches with no luck.
It seems we are not using the “good” data in the google earth flight path or geotagging process. As you can see in the screenshot below, “relative_alt global_position_int_t-R” provides excellent altitude data (better than 1m accuracy). Unfo
Just a heads up for you folks. I recently opened a NIB APM 2.5 which I purchased about a year ago (life got in the way for a bit). It updates the firmware, verifies it, and I can even talk CLI to it. But it will not communicate via mavlink. I have 2
Just tried to fire up a new APM 2.5 which has been sitting in the box for almost 2 months. Installed latest Mission Planner (1.2.55). Firmware installs fine (V2.9.1b), but the live data screen doesn't show any gyro or accel input when I move the APM
