"I was trying to post the first question on my iphone,I didn't do such a good job.
How do I adjust roll and pitch servo throws when using elevon mixing?"
How do I adjust roll and pitch servo throws when using elevon mixing?"
With ardupilot mega how do I adjust travel limit when using elevon mixing for a wing?
"I finally got the correct firmware loaded on the MTK gps but I am still unable to obtain a GPS lock on the APM. The AP and gps have been sitting outside for probably 45 min. Any ideals?"
"Well after trying to load the new MTK firmware and getting nowhere fast, I brought out the Ublox and tried it out with the APM, got an instant lock :( I wonder if the MTK adapter could be faulty? Its not going to be fun getting the MTK off that…"
I am having problems getting a lock using APM and MTK GPS. One question, if the mtk GPS is ordered separately from the MTK adapter does it come with the custom DIY firmware? If it does not come with the firmware could someone point me to the…
"After moving the equipment in the proper orientation and a few changes to insure proper control surfaces, the flight went as expected, well mostly. For what ever reason I had total loss of control!!! Plane nearly meet the earth nose first but I…"
"Thanks for the reply,
Although, I am leaving the airplane stationary during the calibration period. I have left the plane on the ground with the wings and the airframe stationary in the proper flight orientation till I have gps lock. This should be…"

Firstly, I have uploaded the newest beta thats in the repository (2.7.3 I do see mention of 2.7.4 but could not find it in the repository http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/downloads/list , but I could be over looking it) but ran into problems.1.…
"Sorry, maybe I was not clear. While bench testing my equipment all functioned as expected, I had solid blue GPS lock light on the IMU and solid blue lock light on the AP. The equipment was installed in the airframe, now after they system is powered…"
So, I had everything working fine just before the equipment was installed in the airframe, now when the hardware is powered up all the lights are functioning correctly but when the IMU locks the gps light on the ardupilot stops blinking and goes off?
"Ok, Worked like a champ!!!! Hopslink I can't thank you enough, I was pulling my hair out.........:)"
"I have tried the second config with no luck, seems strange that should have worked. :("
"One thought, I am able to get GPS lock using just the Ardupilot? Would I still need to communicate with the GPS @ 4800 through the IMU?"
"Well I have came up empty handed on GPS lock :( So correct me if I am wrong, there should be no problem trying to obtain GPS lock on the IMU completely independent of the Ardupilot? So in another words I have removed the Ardupilot completely from…"
"Guy's thanks for the responses... iangl if you would like to PM me your code I will have a look and see if I can find some thing wrong with mine. I am powering the Ardupilot from input channel three and the IMU from the VCC next to the programing…"
