I'm looking for a good Andoid App to measuring vibration levels while balancing Brushless Motors in a Multicopter. I like the versatility of the iPhone/iPad App shown in this video on Youtube, but I need one for Android.
I like the ability to program

Does anyone know why you can't order just an APM 2.5 board from the 3DR Store? All that is available is the full kit.....what if you just need to replace the board....say due to crash damage or an ESD?
I sent my board in for the F2 replacement

Last weekend I maiden-ed my new 8' (2.4m) Super Sky Surfer with Arduplane 2.72 and had a fantastic first flight. Stabilize, FBW-A and Loiter all worked fine right out of the box with no further tuning; although I'm sure some refinement

Hello All,
I am having trouble getting the ArduPilotGCS-Beta2 Working with my new Laptop. I have installed Labview Runtime 9 32-bit (LVRTE90std) as instructed in the wiki.
It was suggested here, by Chris, that a mod to the ArduIMU V2 (flat), similar to that made on the APM Oilpan, would help eliminate (or at least tame) the linear acceleration problems being experienced by some. The mod involves removal of filter capac
