I have an APM Mini and I cannot get Volts or Amps to show up in MP or on OSD... all other telemetry is working fine. I have read that this is an issue with the APM Mini 3.1 but also that people have gotten it to work. Has anyone had this issue and…

"So there is no way using Ubuntu or Wheezy on the Pi? I thought I had seen posts of people doing this... "
Has anyone installed Mission Planner 2 on a Raspberry Pi? I would like to build one with a 7" screen as a dedicated ground station. I would like to use mission planner but it only works on Windows. Any help or advise here would be greatThanks

So, I am currently using an APM 2.6 (it is actually supposed to be the 2.8 version but I am not sure of the difference if there is any) and have been considering the APM Mini MEGA 3.1, for the obvious size difference, but have seen mixed reviews on…

I am building my first quadcopter and everything appears to be connected properly, however, I have an issue I have not been able to resolve. When I connnect to mission planner the artificial horizon reacts correctly if I pitch the quad up or…
