"This may sound crazy, and tell me if it is.... In Australia 433mhz is illegal, but 915mhz can go up to 2watts.
And I believe that via a notebook & 915mhz telemetry you can use a PC joystick to fly via APM . . . . .
So joining the dots, could we get…"

"Sorry Guys, I should have made this a thread, but closing it now.
I finally went down the path of the board picking up particles or moisture during my last landing (was early morning and damp, and the Bixler2 has a stupid down facing intake). Did a…"

"Thanks for the advice Simon,
Replaced the driver with the one that comes with the Mission Planner reinstall. (after manually uninstalling the old driver) I didn't let windows do it. All set to 8 bits, 1 Stop Bit, No Parity. Not sure what the…"

"I have tried another USB cable now, also uninstall Mission Planner & USB driver.
Reinstalled, USB device re-detected and reinstalled . . . but same result.
I guess it is time to get out the super magnifying glass and see if a particle has lodged…"

"Looks like the turning radius is too tight for those waypoints. My guess is that you either tighten up the turning circle radius (which may be physically impossible depending on the aircraft) or put more space between 1,3,5 and 2,4,6 waypoints.…"
"I have tried both my PC & my Laptop, same sad result.
The only coincidence is that they had both just updated Mission Planner, maybe something has happened there. I might try to uninstall Mission Planner, delete the USB driver and then do a…"

"Hi Craig,
Serial problem as in hardware related?
Partial short, faulty chip, wrong voltage somewhere?
I will take any pointers :-)
thanks, Graham"

"Hi Craig & HealthFB,
Craig, I am just taking a guess that the problem maybe corruption, so just want to over write with good firmware again.
HealthFB, only using one connection at a time, here is a sample of the output, the fact that I can read it…"

"Hi Craig,
I did a calibration after uploading their parameter file also set my own motor cruise level, then re-saved parameter files it as my own.
My Bixler-2 corners smoothly on way-points and loiters very well with these settings.
So, the 2560…"

"Hi Craig,
would it be a bad connection on both the USB & Telem ports? They were both working before and both stopped at the same time. Maybe they are tied to the same UART or something??
Graham"

"Did you get a resolution? I think I have the same problem....
My APM 2.5 (from RCTimer) is very new and I have flown it in my Bixler2, tested Stabilise, Loiter & RTL.

I think this is how you attach a file to a comment. If this doesn't work, let me know your email address and I will email it to you.

"Hi Trung,
I wouldn't have the throttle on during the climb . . .
When I was learning to fly gliders (the big ones that you sit in) we would slowly raise the nose to make the aircraft reduce speed. Just before it stalls, the controls would become…"
