"Hello, I just uploaded the new code. I am running a APM 1.0. My system has been working great. I noticed today that when I was checking the throttle output (ch3 out) the command is to be at motor off in RTL, Auto, FBW B modes. The throttle is…"

"I see the recorded video type is .avi recorded at 10 fps. What software will edit this file. I have premiere pro and it is unsupported. What are you using to edit?"

"Thanks.
 
Very strange about the board issues.
 
I can not view your page even though we are "friends" I get a memory problem from the server. 
 
Thanks, I really would like to get to the bottom of this, it's keeping me up at night.... LOL  Are…"

"Ritchie,
I have made your camera tracking mods to the latest version of APM. the Test file needed some changes to compile.
 
I had to change subtract 1 from each servo number to have full use of pan tilt and click.
 
I checked stabilization, worked…"

LazyPilot replied to LazyPilot's discussion Do_change_speed command issue
"I have tested this some more, the plane follows perfect with out the Do change. Then I add the do change, the first attempt is great, but when I press restart mission, the second time through the course the last few way points are below the ground."

LazyPilot replied to LazyPilot's discussion Do_change_speed command issue
"I used this flight plan. The aircraft flew to waypoint 3 at 20 m.  I checked the commanded altitudes by selecting the way points while the plane was on the ground, they all come up wrong.  When you remove the do change speed commands the plane flies…"

Guys I found a problem with using the change speed command. Basically I noticed that after the do change command is executed the next waypoint's altitude is selected. But continues to the previos (correct) lay long. I found this while testing auto…

"I do not use any reset. I test flew my code modified with the camera gps tracking added, well the results were not good. The navigation was killed. Everything else seemed ok, but it would not navigate.

Has anyone else had success using the newer…"

"Does the version of the Apm board matter? I have the latest red board and a foxtrap blue board. I will confirm 15 deg later. Pretty close. I deliberately restricted the amount of travel for now."

"Ritchie,
 
I have added you as a friend, when I look at your page, there is a problem with ning.
 
I only have two servos sitting in the plane with servo arms on them for visual reference. I will build my mechanism this weekend.

"I have your code loaded to my working 2.12 APM. I enabled the GPS tracking. The servos work in the CLI test in the 15 deg steps. the problem is that the pan had to be plugged into servo out 7 and the tilt into servo out 8. I tried to test the system…"

LazyPilot commented on Ritchie's blog post Camera tracking, stabilisation, triggering and waypoint activity updated to APM2.1
"I have added your code to my working 2.12 load. I desire to have GPS tracking of WP0. When I test (CLI)the servos they move, but the pan must be plugged into 7 and the tilt is into 8.  This is not how the config says it should be. when I test by…"
