"In many countries, discharging a firearm with intent to cause property damage is a serious offense, regardless of if it's annoying yoy , on your property or not. For that matter, I seriously doubt any judge is going to consider responding to said…"
"Sorry for the tardy response, been tied up with other stuff. Yes, I have one left, sitting right here on my desk. I'll PM you :)"
"The reason for the adapter is that the APM2 has a hole spacing that doesn't match any of the holes already built into the HT-FPV frame, and I didn't want to drill additional holes. You could double-sided tape the APM2 onto the frame, but I also…"
I got myself a HoverThings HT-FPV frame, and I made up an adapter board using Eagle for connecting the APM2 to the frame and also allowing me to only hook up one ESC to the APM2 without having to cut wires anywhere. I got the board manufactured by…
"Wow, things fall off this board fast. Any way to get more than 10 items on the front page?"
"Hold on a moment.
When you say the ESC produces 6 volts, are you measuring this open with a voltmeter? The ESC regulation circuit may be a switching type, and you can't rely on the voltage output being sane on them when you're not drawing a load…"

So, I've bought an APM2 with integrated GPS and Magnetometer, and I'm planning on putting it on a HoverThings HT-FPV frame.First up, is anyone using this combo? Have you encountered issues with the magnetometer skewing because of current draw from…
"My air module is like the picture at the top - purple breakout board, daughterboard is rotated 90 degrees and soldered on using a pin header.
My ground module has a similar orientation to the bottom picture - green breakout board, daughterboard in…"

"Wait a minute! You're at 12000 feet above sea level? Hell, I would have thought a quad's flight ceiling would be less than that. Well done!"
"Put your sensors on a different i2c address from the default, and then adjust your code to use the new addresses. Most of those sensors have a (semi) customizable i2c address."
"Matter of fact, it's almost a definite the motors would be turning the wrong way. When you cut the throttle entirely, the motors would have stopped, and auto-rotated the wrong direction during descent. When doing that, the ESC won't be able to…"
