About Me:

I've always been interested in RC, used to fly planes and sailplanes. Now I own a Arducopter hexa.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

It's unbelievable how much progress amateur UAV's have made the last couple of years.

Jo Peer replied to Florian G's discussion Loiter still not working - trying to get this function to work on APM now since three months and not doing as it should..

I haven't gotten my Arducopter Hexa to work like it should have.

"I've just uploaded 2.6.
I actually wanted to start over fresh, but it seems that all my previous parameters and settings are still the same as my last settings.
How can I update to new standard PID settings?
There used to be a command eeprom clear…"

"I've just filed an enhancement for simple mode.
Hopefully the developers can make super simple mode available at all times, not only when the copter is more than 20m away.
I think super simple mode is the only way to really save your multicopter…"

"I need some help on tuning my hexa.  I built this hexa for AP purposes.
I'll try to explain what I want out of my copter.
 
Alt-hold:
Alt-hold is working, the copter stays within 1 meter or so.
The problem is that it reacts too aggressively.  I…"

"I have a question about Simple Mode.
Last week I had a "hard landing" because I kind of lost orientation in Simple Mode, de copter was not reacting like I thought it would react.
Only now I realized other multicopter systems use 2 different kind of…"

"I have a problem with CH6 Tuning.
I would like to use my CH6 for tuning Rate Roll/Pitch.
What option do I have to select?  I've selected CH6_RATE_KP for the moment and set a min/max value of 0.8/0.14.
The only problem is that CH6 isn't changing any…"

"to Jason and the dev team:
I've got a fully built hex waiting to be flown.  Problem is I don't have trustworthy software to fly it.
It seems that I keep waiting for stable software to be released.  But instead the only releases I see are alpha and…"

"@ Jason & Chris:  I've only just bought my APM half a year ago, it's the 2560 APM1.  Like so many other people I'm getting a little worried that APM1 support is going to be discontinued once the APM2 is properly launched.
Can you please tell us what…"

"A little while ago I was also asking if arming/desarming motors could be done with a switch.
Some people said this was too dangerous to implement.

Only when…"
