I think I've figured out the correct set-up on the hex and APM side of things, but the Spektrum radio is difficult to program. I was hoping one of the radio's many switches could be used to trigger a servo, or relay, but I can't seem to find how to
Read more…I've been flying a hexa from DIY Drones and was interested in setting it up in a quad configuration. Can I use the 6-up power distribution board from the Hexa in a quad? I presume wiring it up using ports 1-4 and leaving 5 & 6 without motors attache

After weeks of frustration, I think I've had it with the APM 2.5 board/software. It's just not a reliable, stable solution for my needs. Every time the Hexa has any issue, it seems to have EVERY issue. Each problem takes dozens of hours, m

So I have been flying my DIYdrone hexa for several weeks with plenty of success. I've got the APM 2.5 and a Spektrum DX7s radio. I recently replaced the PDB and now the drone won't lift correctly. The radio has been binded and calibrated a

I've been having trouble installing the Arduino Mega 2560.INF driver on a new windows 8 machine. This is the error message:
"The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information".
Does anyone know how to overcome this? Does the M
Read more…A few days ago, I had a perfectly functioning heavy-lift Hexa drone from 3DR. Now I have an awkward paperweight. This is VERY frustrating and I'm beginning to wonder if the APM 2.5 board is really the best choice for flight control.
It all started t

My Hexa APM 2.5 board seems to be connected to my PC just fine via USB cable. I can make adjustments, see data, etc... Everything seems normal... Until I try to update the firmware on the APM 2.5 board. At that point the connection is broken

I'm flying a 3DR Hexa with a Spektrum DX7s radio, and all is going great (Lot's of successful flights, some decent loiter in pretty high wind....) I'm interested in triggering an extra servo onboard the Hexa using the radio, but I can't see

I'm a relative newbie here, been lurking on the forums while building a 3D robotics Hexa (APM 2.5) with the bigger motors and props. I'm controlling it with a Spectrum 7 and It's all set-up and flying. There's only one problem - the right sti
