I plugged my Mediatek GPS into the Remzibi OSD with an adapter making very sure the pinouts matched (apparently not sure enough, they didn't). The OSD didn't recognise the GPS but now when I plug the GPS back into ArduPilot everything on the serial m
Read more…Is the code for the Remzibi OSD in v2.7.1 of ArduPilot?
If not what would be required to get it to work? Is it just a matter of coping the code across or is it way more complicated than that?
Read more…In the AUTO mode the failsafe function is:
> if (FAILSAFE_ACTION == 1){
set_mode(RTL);
throttle_cruise = THROTTLE_CRUISE;
So let's say if when switched to AUTO the plane now flies out of the RC Tx's range (out of s
Read more…The failsafe setting, when it says "come home in AUTO, LOITER" I presume that it mean it will ignore all other waypoints and just come home. If it flew out of range & entered into the failsafe condition, once it comes back into range, will it not see
Read more…I have now had more than 50 flights with my ArduPilot equipped plane but I am still dissatisfied with the navigation performance despite trying almost every PID configuration that I can think of. I'm using APv2.7.1, Mediatek GPS, FMA thermopiles, a 1
Read more…What would the normal min/max 'debug sensor input' values be, I'm getting +60/-60 for roll and pitch, is that correct?
Using latest zip (v2.7.1), FMA XYZ IR sensors, v2 shield,Mediatek GPS, 148cm (58") span OD twin boom pusher plane with manual throttle control, no telemetry, Arduino v0020
I've been trying to get this flying and navigating correctly, had it all workin
I may be completely 'off the path' here so please shoot this down if it's not popular...
Growing up metricized (is it a word?) I relate to logics of percentages, tens, hundreds, etc and get put off by some values in the header file like:
"#define THROT
Using latest code from repository (R1003), FMA IR sensors, v1 shield, 148cm (58") span OD twin boom pusher plane, manual throttle control, #define NAV_ROLL_P .004 and all other parameters correct as far as I can see (double-checked)
FLY_BY_WIRE worked
I'm getting this compile error from the latest code in the repository?

The Fly-By-Wire and Stabilize modes of ArduPilot make amazing teachingaids, especially FBW as it's difficult then for even the most ineptbeginner to get the aircraft into too much trouble.
With that in mind and an old 168 APv1 board that's doing nothi
Using v1 shield, EM406, FMA sensors, no throttle connected the board, twin-boom plane, on FBW and Auto
Tried out this version for the first time today, two things I picked up on - my plane still seems to climb endlessly as there doesn't seem to be muc
I'd like to know what hardware changes are anticipated for ArduPilot in the near future?
Excluding ArduMega (which I'm not planning to get at this stage), what hardware is current and what is being thought about or planned, eg a new GPS, ArduIMU v3,
Had a few flights this morning with v2.5.01, things went pretty well and I had my GPS logger with me so was able to log the flight. RTL worked fine and AUTO sort of OK too after some tweaking, not using autopilot throttle yet and I've changed the fol
Read more…Have a very weird problem at the moment, I have my ArduPilot (328 board) aileron servo output to a Y-lead for a servo in each wing half, however just suddenly the servos appear dead but when I plug the servo's in singly they work.
The Y-lead is fine
What diameter tube is required for ArduPilot v2.x and what effect would a larger or smaller diameter have?
Read more…I bought some extra boards and thermopiles recently here on the forum and couldn't understand why the one board wouldn't work properly, then I noticed that one of the chips is not correctly lined up on its pads. Would it have come out of the factory
Read more…My XY sensor only works correctly (version 2.4, AT328 board) if the cable is to either side, not front or rear, weird. If it's front/rear then roll controls elevator and pitch controls aileron. I've tried reversing the two analog wires from the senso
Read more…My own design plane with ArduPilot 2.1 (no z-sensor, no shield) has a problem with it's aileron control reversed. Now let me explain: the ailerons work correctly with AP switched off i.e. normal flight (lets call this A), they also work correctly dur
Read more…I've had some successful flights using my own platform and APv2.1.2. However I'm having some issues that perhaps someone can help with.1) under power the plane climbs above the stated height set with the config utility, I've set it to 15m however the
