Where is the best place to take the 5v measurement, to provide accurate readings from the pressure sensor and the battery monitor?
Is there a better place than at the GPS heaader shown in red above?
Will this reading be appropriate for both the batter

This is a reprint of a reply I made in "Corrupting xBee during Ardupilot initialization". I thought it would help to bring this solution out in it's own discussion. So far I have only tested it on the bench, but I don't see any reason w
Hey all,
I have some questions about driving a tracking antenna with Ardustation. Jordi's Blog Post "New Ardustation Code: Now with Pan/Tilt Tracking Antenna" , has a lot of questions posted but not a lot of answers. It hasn't seen a lot of activity i
Someone please explain to me what I'm missing here. As I understand it when you have "over terrain" checked, the altitude you enter in "Alt(to hold)" is added to the ASL altitude of each way-point. So that would mean that the altitude for each of my

I have a Futaba 7C 72mhz transmitter, the radio can operate in either PPM or PCM mode. The fail-safe function only works in PCM mode. As I understand i
Hello All,
I've seen several posts lately with comments regarding the use of the shield, or rather the lack of the shield in conjunction with the IMU. It would seem most of the Beta testers are not using the shield. I have aslo read comments that the

I am a total noob when it comes to aerial video. I have a basic understanding of the required hardware, but no experience to guide me in the selection process.
Here's what I have:

Hey all,
Can somebody confirm this for me? I am using a 6s Lipo (25.2 volts Max when fully charged) to provide power for my motor. I want to monitor the battery voltage with the GCS, attaching the battery + to the monitor pin on the shield V2 will req

I Have an Ardupilot (red board), with a shield (blue one). I can't loadcode with the shield attached. I can monitor the serial data, but Ican't load code. All the LED's are working on both boards but I have toremove the shield to load the code. Is th
