"Hello Jamie, My hex was doing the same (violent pitch forward without user input), so I moved my APM to my 100% working quadcopter. And since the Quad has been playing up as well. I moved the KK over to the hex, and the problem has gone away. I am…"
"I havent had a chance to take it outside yet, its been raining here throughout the week. I will check back when I have run some tests. FYI, I'm running it in single mode, not RTK. And mine is GPS + BD, I dont know if APM is working with BD tho...."
Hi guys,I bought this little (cheap) GPS module months ago from an indigogo project. I have since received my GPS and was having troubles interfacing it to my APM 2.5.2. I was simply trying to output the serial data into the APM, not porting APM to…
"Here is the post I have put up on the Navspark page, It seems to have a few people who wanted to help out with interfacing the two.

I have just received my new NavSpark GPS, I was wondering if I could use it as a simple GPS as a replacement for my Ublox module. I am a bit (lot) of a noob, and I was wondering if I could simply plug some pins directly across to the APM and have it…
"I have replaced the regulator a couple of times on my APM2.5.2 board. It seems to happen after disconnecting the APM whilst still connected and while powered by external battery.
Since I have been disconnecting from mission planner first, I havent…"

"Awesome guys. Ive now got some pointers to work on.
I just got one question thou, did I do the right thing by not using the inbuilt PDB? I used the cables to try and reduce the EMI. Or can I negate pretty much everything by just adding ground…"

I originally bought the frame from ebay, I have recently bought a pack of HJI booms from ebay to repair it from a crash. I dont know the weight, I will let you know when I do it.
Cheers everyone for the positive and constructive…"

The HJI arms I have found to be heaps more rigid than the stock ones from this frame. They appear to be made of a harder plastic."

1) Cool, I may just do that with the bullet connectors, I only put them there for servicability.
2) By ground plate, do you mean a plate that is grounded to the - of the battery? I twisted all the wires to try to eliminate the mag…"

Hi guys, This is my first blog post. I thought I would share with you my hexacopter. I call it v2.0 because I crashed it after the first build. I believe I had some issues with the compass being interfered with by the integrated PDB.My specs are as…
"Same here, I have pledged anyways, It would be cool if we could install Arducopter on it, then it just leaves the sensors to buy :D"
"Where is the linux link? It mentions linux in the Heading, but there is no link in the "more information" area."
"Hey Jani, I have downloaded the repo for the ioboard, I have a Arduino uno. I would like to know how to get the data on to my ioboard. I do have a FTDI connector that doesn't work, the provided configurator just says cannot connect to bootloader.…"
