I went flying today with 2.74b and I have to say that it works perfect. I had a strong wind but the plane managed to fly as precisely as it never did before. The new TECS control allows to make rapid climbs without overshooting or…"
"OK I should have watched the video first.
Which values are displayed as graphs? Are these gx, gy and gz or pitch, roll, yaw? I think you must consider that the raw gyroscope values are the ones of the 16-bit ADC. You have a measureable range of…"
"Hi,
how did you exactly notice that the gyro is affected by heat? I'm performing some APM sensor testings aswell. I put the APM into a climate chamber and brought the temeratures from -20°C to + 50°C and the gyros and acc-sensors didn't show high…"
I have some problems with tuning my APM right. When the plane should climb to the next waypoint it increases thrust but doesn't use the elevator (most of the times).…"
Hi guy,yet another question thread by me..I went flying with my plane again because I wanted to tune the PID values and other control parameters. The L1 control parameters are doing well but for the vertical "navigation" I can not find the right…
"I think there should be no problem with collecting the data on the APM but how can one transmit it via telemetry? I also wanted to find out how to send some sensor values to my GCS but haven't found some good information yet."
Hi guys, there is a commentary in the MAVLink protocol that describes some important gps parameters:* @param lat Latitude in 1E7 degrees * @param lon Longitude in 1E7 degrees * @param alt Altitude in 1E3 meters (millimeters) above MSL * @param eph…
Hi community,I want to find out how accurate and how relyable the APM 2.5 sensors are. The sensors that I'm interested in are: baro, airspeed, compass and acceleration. Do you know whether the sensors are calibrated at 3DR or maybe at their original…
"I'm using two different cables from my RX to AP. No Y cable because I wan't to have an aileron differentiation. This was working fine earlier. An hour ago after I wrote this thread I tried loading an old firmware and then the 2.72 again. It seemed…"
Hi,I upgraded my APM 2.5 to the latest firmware 2.72. Before that I was using the 2.68 HIL firmware for simulation purposes. Before the next test flight I wanted to test out every function but I noticed that when I change mode from manual to…
I've got a simmilar problem. I'm using the latest firmware 2.72 HIL on my APM 2.5 together with FlightGear. The MissionPlanner is version 1.2.48
With the older firmware 2.68 I was able to make perfect flights in the simulator and fly in all…"
"It seems like we have solved our first problem by increasing the frequency band from the lowest possible value to the highest possible value.
We also wanted to mention that sometimes the servos stopped in their current position. We could see on the…"
Hello community,we've recently bought the APM 2.5 with the 3DR telemetry kit (433 MHz for Europe) but we now we are facing some problems.After all settings were done via USB connection we tried out the telemetry. The first tries went well but…
