Just a simple auto-takeoff -> loiter(5s) -> fly to WP 1 -> loiter(5s) -> RTL -> Loiter(5s) -> auto-land.
Thanks :)

Could someone give me a run down on how the camera stabilization on the Ardupilot mega works?
How does it work?
What do i need to make it work?
And where do I connect the things I need to make it work?
Does it stabilize in 2 axis?
Thanks :)))

Read more…Hey Guys!
I have two questions:
1. My altitude hold swings up and down by 20-30cm using the ultrasound sensor.
My pids for ALT_HOLD are: P=0.35 I=0.01 D=0.4

2. In loiter mode, the copter keeps overs

Thanks :)

There are these lines:

Any1 thats new to quad rotors has no doubt discovered the infamous 1st flight wobble/flip copter effect caused by quite a few things done or not done.

My copter wants to roll to the right when I am in auto-trim calibration mode (arm for 45s)

I booted the copter up on a flat surface, then transfered it to my prop saver string.
In case you think it is the fact that Its hanging, its not. Same thing happens on the ground....
Its most likely a stupid error,
