Read more…After a long delay and a rebuild of my test Mavlink source quad, I'm now able to release a new version of Ardustation software compatible with the latest versions of ACM and APM.
I'm releasing the software now but also plan to provide detailed docum

Read more…After a bit of work I'm finally releasing version 2.0.14 of Ardustation 2. The missing D terms had been in place for many weeks, but through testing, I found an issue with parameter values timing out when full feed is started. This problem was due

Compass issues and Mission Planner
I think I figured out my compass issue with 2.36/2.37. When I used the mission planner to setup the quad after download, I got bad compass behavior when enteri
Read more…Just flew 2.36 - compiled from source code. No source changes from the download. Standard MB1200 sonar attached. Standard frame. No other changes to my quad configuration.
Stabilize flies ok, yaw seems ok and fairly responsive.
Compass:
Output seems t
Read more…Just to give feedback since I had trouble with 2.29/2.30 sonar alt hold. Testing back in my much smaller area I found that with my original stock sonar (1200) was working much better. It was holding pretty much like 2.24b/2.25 although I still have
Read more…I flew 10 packs yesterday trying to test baro only alt hold and loiter with the sonar disabled. I also wanted to test my Mavlink to Remzibi converter for my onboard video out. I spent quite a bit of time getting comfortable with "simple" mode - espec
Read more…Just wanted to add a beta report on my configuration.
Sonar hold was not working on 2.24a beta and moving the sonar to a low- unobstructed spot away from the battery on the frame seemed to solve the problem. Sonar alt hold at was working well in 2.24b
Read more…After Jason's suggestion about checking balance and motor angles, My yaw weirdness seems to be solved. I just switched back from NG RC2 to 2.23 beta in + configuration (easier than converting back to x for now) and I test flew. What was critical f
Read more…I've really enjoyed my Arducopter flying NG RC2 since December and decided to take a plunge on the 2.xxx betas. I reconfigured my stock Arducopter into X configuration (APM pointed between arms) and loaded 2.023 Beta yesterday and flew several flight
Read more…I've been running NG RC2 in X configuration and noticed in the docs for Arducopter 2 Beta 1 a difference between these two pages:AC2_Frame_Assembly - mount the APM pointing forward towards the left armAC2_Radio - mount the APM pointing between the 2
Read more…I've been flight testing my Arducopter since Christmas with excellent flight performance (RC2 firmware) but mixed results for the Gps hold function. I finally tracked the issue down to my MTK GPS resetting itself while running the September firmware
Read more…I've been lurking for a while, and I'm getting ready to test fly 2.5.03 next weekend and noticed on my bench that my Easystar with UBLOX and red shield would not achieve GPS lock in manual. If I switched to Auto or Fly By Wire, the GPS would achieve
