My dataflash wasn't working so I replaced the memory chip. Still didn't work so it must be the socket. I asked about functionality without dataflash and got this reply.Hi Greg,Thank you for contacting 3D Robotics Customer Support.With out data…
"Is it possible to use a larger memory chip? I ordered a couple and will try. Just wondering if anyone else has tried. I believe someone used a smaller one."
I have the APM2.0. This problem comes and goes. Can we buy a new dataflash module? I have tried all the fixes on here multiple times. Thanks
"I am not commenting on the design. I haven't looked at it really. But if you are looking for a voltage transient ('spike') with an oscilloscope, you are probably looking for something that happens in a 1ns time frame. Testing it with the scope on…"
"After removing the memory card and resoldering a bad 10K ohm resistor connection, the GPS is working again. Do I need to add a compass to my APM2.0 for best performance? I have seen statements that you must use a compass but not sure if that is for…"
I have an APM2 that I was playing with a year ago or so. I would hook up a battery and log my commute then watch it on Google Earth. That was with Arduplane 2.5. I decided to get it back out and use it on a tricopter. I installed the latest Mission…
"I should never post until I read all the pages in a thread. I had only read the first page and didn't see the other 2 pages. It appeared at first you were promoting people cloning other products but not the APM products. Actually, you didn't say…"
"Crasher makes a good point. Double standards are never good."
"Guess I will answer my own question, YES it is possible. Just don't show your wife the log of you heading home and it shows you stopping at McDs to get a strawberry milkshake!"
Is it possible to just attach a receiver battery to the APM2 to log flights without any servos hooked up. If so, how? I plug the battery in and it seems to lock on sats, but I get no log files. I get a log file being written while it is connected…
"I received my APM2 about exactly when they said I would when I ordered. It looks to be a good product but the manufacturing process needs ALOT of help. I did a visual inspection of my board and found 6 solder balls on my board, 2 pins that I think…"
"Now for a serious question. When I was looking at pre-ordering, I saw that you could get the APM2.0 with or without GPS and something else. For a newbie, is there a different GPS that would be better? I suspect the basic build is best but thought…"
"Those of you who pre-ordered and are frustrated, just think of the poor guys like me. I procrastinated and didn't get to pre-order because I put it off. Its my own fault. This looks to be a good product and I will gladly wait for it. "
"Can you still pre-order the new board? "
