Jonathan Anderson replied to Jonathan Anderson's discussion Uninstalling Dr. Mingw
"Found how to uninstall it.

Download Dr. Mingw from https://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/DrMingw. I believe the 32-bit version is installed with ArduPilot Mission Planner 2.0.
Extract the files.
Open up the Windows command prompt in…"

Jonathan Anderson replied to Jonathan Anderson's discussion ArduPilot => External Camera communication
"I've moved up to firmware 2.74b

Firmware: 2.74b

Update
I have gotten the ArduPilot to act like my Gumstix Overo is Ground Control Station 3 (gcs3). Therefore, all the attitude and location information is streamed to the Overo.

Problem
The Overo…"

"I've been working on a similiar project. I am connecting a Gumstix Overo to the ArduPilot and streaming GPS coordinates, Altitude, and Attitude information between the devices. I have successful gotten the stream the work (Or so it appears). If you…"

I am a tad bit confused by the specs on ESC's and Brushless Motors.When an ESC is said to be a 12amp ESC, what does this mean? Is the maximum output amperage to the motor 12amps?What does the motor's "current capacity" mean? For instance, the motor…

Jonathan Anderson replied to Jonathan Anderson's discussion HIL with Flightgear
"I moved my simulation setup over to a Windows environment. I am getting similar results. Another detail to the puzzle is that the ArduPilot only outputs 0 or 1 for its surface controllers. These are the maximums. In other words, it outputs a maximum…"

Hardware: APM 2.5Firmware: 2.71I am attempting to do a HIL sim with Flight Gear. Currently, when I try to get ArduPilot to fly, the Simulator shows the plane thrown wildly around. The outputs of ArduPilot max themselves out at 1.0. Furthermore, when…

Jonathan Anderson replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.71 released
"I grabbed the lastest source using Git Clone from the code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/ repo and it gave me firmware v2.68. Is there a reason why 2.71 isn't uploaded to this repo yet?"

Jonathan Anderson replied to Alex's discussion Xplane Simulation keeps crashing into ground as soon as I enable Auto?
"I am still having the same problem stated above.  In both AUTO and STABILIZE modes my plane descends towards the left side until it hits the ground. When its on the ground before takeoff, the outputs of the autopilot's roll, pitch, and yaw are not…"
