"OK, still puzzled. I got my board back Friday along with a SDR ArduCopter Hexa-B Frame and motors kit which included the ESC's. I put it together Friday and Saturday and set it up. Still the same problem. It will not boot all the time. Most of the…"
"I know those. JDrones. Thanks"
I saw mentioned somewhere? That you could fit the current version of ArduCopter onto a 1280 board somehow? I think by eliminating various parts of the program? Does anyone have an easy step by step tutorial or does someone have an older version of…
I had my quad flying fairly well with 880kv motors and 10" props. I wanted to go up to the 12" props I had to get more lifting ability. When I put the 12" props on everything went crazy. Stability got bad, altitude fluctuated too easily. Altitude…
I have a new APM 2.5. I am using, right now, Mission Planner 1.2.12 and running Arducopter 2.7.3.Everything seems to be working ok except the altitude so I wanted to get some logs to see what's going on. I go into the terminal mode after connecting…
"I just got my 2.5 and set it up for my quad copter. Everything works fine except when I try and boot it up from battery. I have the exact same problem. I have a 2 story house and I would set it up via the USB, unplug everything and go out in the…"
"This board? I already have a GPS board. Any sense in upgrading that?"
I just recently found out that I need to upgrade my 1280 board to the newer 2560 board on my JDrones quadcopter to fit the new version of the software. I haven't been fooling with it for a while it seems and I fell behind in the updating. I looked…
"LOL, does it ever end. Now it seems that the firmware is too big for a 1280 board. Is there a way around this until I can get a 2560 board. I see it comes with the 90 degree connector. Off hand how many of the male connectors will I need. It looks…"
I have downloaded the latest ArduCopter version 2.7.1 to my computer. When I run the APM Planner 1.0.66 and go to the Firmware tab to update the software into the quad by clicking on the ArduCopter Quad icon it asks me "Are you sure if you want to…
"Thanks a lot. That's just what I needed. Happy flying and thanks again :-)"
"Thanks a bunch. I don't know why it did not come with the quad. So be it. If I may ask also, what settings are you using for the ESC?"
"Long time, I am curious as to how you ended up setting up your ESC. I screwed the setup on one and need to set it up again. Let me know."
"I have the jDrones 10 Amp, it says jDrones AC20-1.0, Programmable ESC, BEC: 2A/5V, DC: 6V-16V."
"I badly need the manual for the ESC. I have screwed one up and there was no manual with my quad from JDrones. Can anyone e-mail it to me ay mikey_hd@yahoo.com or fax it to me at 5617531901. Thanks a bunch."
I seem to have reached a point of rrrrrgghhhhh and need help. If I could find someone in the West Palm Beach or Central Florida area that has a working knowledge of this software and could help a guy out I sure could use some help and advice.I have…
