I was running AC 2.0.33 and today I upgraded to Mission Planner 1.0.36 and then upgraded the firmware to 2.0.36
The after the firmware was uploaded, the verify continually failed.
I then downloaded 2.0.36, compiled it and uploaded it using Arduino ID
Read more…After upgrading to Arducopter 2, I was finally able to go for a test flight.
Besides changing from ArduPirates NG code to Arducopter 2.0.31, I changed my props from 12x45 to 10x45 but kept the 880KV Arducopter motors.
The hexa seems more responsive t

Then a few seconds later the AH goes crazy, pitch,
Read more…With Arducopter 2 do I no longer need to select the magnometer's orientation anymore?
What about the spinning the copter in all different directions to calibrate the copter? Is that no longer required either?
Read more…I've just upgraded from Ardupirates NG to AC2 2.0.30.
Setup via USB was simple enough.
When I plugged in my Xbee to my PC, set the baud to 57600, I just get garbage on the terminal. Tried changing baud.
Mission planner doesn't connect via Xbee. I'm

Normally if a servo is going in the wrote direction, you would just reverse the servo on the radio.
Because the servo is being controlled by the APM, wh

The screen is flush mounted, the buttons are all accessible. Only thing left to do is put a power on/off switch.
I substituted the standard buttons with longer buttons.
Does anyone know where the IR Senors can PHYSICALLY connect to the APM/IMU?
I know the code doesn't support actually obstacle avoidance yet, but I'd like to do some experimentation.
Read more…When flying my hexa, I noticed that it slowly wants to yaw to the right, so I either need to give left trim or very small left rudder.
When testing ArduCopter MacGCS I noticed the yaw angle values start at zero, and in slowly increase (or decrease -
Read more…Has anyone successfully used the MikroKopter ESCs and power distro board with arducopter?
My hexa uses 2 x arducopter quad power distro boards and 6 ESC and it looks like a message with cables everywhere, and the distro boards stacked on top of each

I am working on adding in ArduCopter support for ArduStation.
One big problem I am having is parsing the CSV string. From the documentation on the internet sscanf() allows me to parse a string, however, it only seems to work when I try to parse a CS
Read more…I've currently developing a Mac OSX GCS for ArduCopter that will be compatible with ArduPiratesNG code.
This is where I'm at for those using Macs

I can't mount my sonar below the CoG on my hex a so I was going to mount it on an arm, but then I realized that when the craft banks to hover against the wind the sonar would show a change in height.So I was thinking if I put two of the same sonars o

Should I enable soft or super soft startup mode?
Should I adjust the timing mode when using the standard Arducopter 880KV motors?

Can anyone suggest why this was happening? Its random, sometimes after power on I got this, even after a few reboots, and then it goes away.
I armed the motors once when this was happening and it caused the quad to fli
Read more…My new HexaCopter frame in carbon fiber arrived today.
Still deciding whether to get my ArduCopter Quad tuned and flying good before taking all the parts to fit out the Hexa.
Can any tell me if there would be a problem with connecting the 4 x ESC directly to the APM outputs 1 - 4 rather than going via the Power Distro board?

The screen resolution is 1024 x 600 max, and the application doesn't correctly resize is and is too big for the screen.

I am using ArduPirates NG code, and I was successfully able to hover the quad in arco mode bef
