Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've been flying quads for a year now, moving from a F450 Flamewheel with Naza that had too many flyaway issues, to a TBS Discovery with APM 2.5. I also have a Bixler 1.1 for everyday flying and an FMS Cessna 182 Skytrainer (1400mm) also running an APM 2.5

"For plane, 3.4 is the last APM release.
But as this is the copter 3.3.beta thread I didn't think it mattered too much."

"No, 3.2.1 is the last for APM 2.5/2.6/2.8"
"Unless you change the code it won't do anything.
I set up a friends tri-copter to use flip mode, and it has to be done from alt-hold (he only had alt hold, pos hold and pos hold with super simple mode) as trying it from pos hold resulted in nothing…"

"An APM 2.5 or APM 2.6 depending on if it has an internal compass or not."
"Probably find that they are being connected with lawmate specific cables, as that eztracker manual shows lawmate have there own pin layout for the mini jack that no one else uses."
"The RCA is red for right audio, white for left audio and yellow for video.
The inner pin of the RCA connector is the signal and the outer ring is the ground.
So, where did you get the mini jack to phono lead from? If it's not wired up as the…"

"The cable connecting the receiver to the screen, is that one that came with the receiver or from something else?
You will need to use one with the correct pin assignments to match the lawmate receiver and they look pretty unique to lawmate. If you…"

"Isn't that already implemented though as ROI in MissionPlanner?
I know that if I specify an ROI in an auto mission the quad will face that ROI and adjust the tilt of the gimbal to point the camera at the altitude specified above the ROI in mission…"

"Flight mode 16 is Position Hold. It's probably failing to go into PosHold due to no GPS signal (0 sat 99.99hdop)."
"What Craig is getting at is that you said you cover the whole pixhawk in cling film, which is essentially the same as covering the holes on the barometer rendering it useless."
"I set up my friends TriCopter to use super simple mode.
He has 3 flight modes on his only 3pos switch, Alt Hold, Pos Hold and Alt hold with Super Simple although I've renamed it Home Lock mode for him.
Although he only has 3.2.1 on an apm2.6, it's…"

"I find them easy as long as you pre-tin just the hashed end of the gold tab and the wire you're using. If you go over that hashed area, or the wire gauge is too heavy then they just never go into the housing."
"Traxxas, good for at least 120amp current.
I use them on a 6cell erevo brushless and my friend on his 3cell slash 4x4 with mamba conversion."

"Can you give me a link to a lipo manufacturer that confirms that?

" max usable flight time landing with a 20% reserve, just as is recommended by nearly every manufacturer.
I've used several types of lipo and NONE of them recommend leaving a mah reserve, ie only using 4000ma from a 5000ma battery.
They ALL…"

"But the whole purpose of super simple mode is to change the controls so they are orientated to the pilot.
Personally I think super simple mode is a great addition and makes retrieving a quad when orientation is lost very simple without having to…"
