I've been following the instructions http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Git and right now I'm trying to create a local clone of the repository. (im having trouble because of a lousy internet connection) anyway if you have problems with ma
I recently steeped down as moderator so I can address this issue and the BS about it. Over the next few day's I be going over the code and addressing the real issues and possible solutions or not possible solutions. Ones that work or don't work.
I just incorrectly answered a question recently because of some confusion about the size of the onboard dataflash of the APM 2.0. There is a lot of info out there stating it's 16MB! It's 4MB and that is a huge difference. I was wondering if a chip c
Well, I don't know if this will be understood very well because it appears to be correct but my experience with rocket's tells me otherwise. I have not gotten around to doing this myself but working with rocket stabilization all the time keeps me fro
Well, I got to thinking about the Variable Pitch quad problem. I don't really have time to work on a project like this right now but I thought I'd throw this out there in case someone else was interested. A small hydraulic motor and pump could be u
To get started with a board design for a servo controller made by the community here at DIY Drones for CNC and whatever floats your boat servo control. This discussion is part of the DIY Drones CNC Machine project. All are welcome to contribute their
I'm very puzzled about this problem. I can load code. The hud works fine. Everything works except radio calibration. I see the dropped packets and the slow connect speed. I wonder what could be interfering with the connection. Very strange and frustr
I guess it's my turn to have a problem with my radio. I just received a new 2560 and am getting around to using it. Everything seems to work other than the radio input not getting into the APM. It passes threw just fine to the servos but no response
I'm about to finish my first Arducoper! :) But, I'm having trouble getting the ESC's to calibrate properly. I'm using a 9x (stock at the moment) and it seems to be all good.
I get the beeps at intervals with the ESC control disconnected and I get
Ok, I'm getting started building an ardutracker from a APM 1280! First thing I need to know is: Is there a I2C pinout on the APM 1280 I can use to hook up the compass board?
Ok, I guess it's time I propose to the group about my interest in these two great componets and the Ardupilot. For a long time now I've been waiting for this to come to furation and it appears that it might, so I asking you guy's what you think about
I've noticed some discussions that mention about the speed in hertz of the ESC and it having something to do with the ability of the quad to control it's attitude. Can someone explain to me about this? I noticed another thread about some custom mad
APM 1280 with Hotel 1.0 Oilpan Downloaded the latest mission planner after I couldn't access terminal in the previous version I had. I've never tried terminal before this. The reason I tried terminal was I added the DIY Dr
Ok! I have just gotten up to speed with the going's on at DIY Drones again. I am VERY satisfied with the Arducopter and it's software! A big thank you to all those involved in compiling all this great stuff!
I have the older 1280 board and I want to load the code 2.24 But it seems the information to di this is no longer in the Wiki? It appears the current Mission Planer cannot load this code so what happened to the instructions for Ardu IDE? Can someone
I have the arducopter and I bought a SkyFun FunJet to give that a try! But I'm having a problem and that's I cant load the code! Something about there's not enough room on the 1280? is the error message I get in the MP'er. So would someone be able to
