Hello,For the sake of better understanding APM guts I've been working on what I've been calling ArduGimbal. I've just assembled code together looking at Arducopter 2.5.5 for how to structure the code and Arduino AHRS example & Compass example code…
"It's not too complicated to 'assemble' the code from scratch though. Using the existing libraries to get attitude, position, and user readings and then using that to manipulated servos outputs and what not is not too hard and a good opportunity to…"
"From looking at examples, it seems that this is the class that deals with writing PWMs to the output channels but I can't get it to work. Is there a description of what each method is meant to do somewhere?

Mostly for the sake of better understanding the insides of APM2, Arduplane and Arducopter, I'm attempting to write what I'm calling ArduGimbal (very clever I know).Immediately I'm just trying to use an APM2 to stabilize a triple axis gimbal. I'm a…
"Thank you! Since I've gotten my Hexa I thought that I was brain damaged and unable to tune PIDs. I loaded 2.5.5 and the thing now works perfect and is so stable.
Thanks again."
Thanks again."
Screen shot of a graph comparing commanded yaw against actual Yaw. And the problem also persists through the Pitch channel as well but the effects are unnoticeable as compared to the violent change in Yaw that arises from the phantom Yaw…
Screen shot of a graph comparing commanded yaw against actual Yaw. From a 3DR Hexa with APM2 running AC2.5.4, using Spektrum DX8 and Hobbyking 9ch Orange RX, with 2 Hobbyking satellites.There's a commanded 60 degree Yaw error every 3-5 seconds that…
Hello,I'm attempting to solve an issue with IMU readings from a new APM2 being used on a multirotor (hex).Artificial horizon 'jumping', constantly changing orientation, rapid random steps-not smoothHeading is 'jumping' in the same manorUnconfirmed:…
