hello, in previous version there was a "invert" option on the RC calibration page to invert axes from software (my pitch is inverted, and doing it from the RC will cause problems with autopilot and other stuff).
I don't have switches on my board.
How d
Read more…Hello, after a crash my APM 2.5 has kinda broken. Mainly it doesn't seem to be able to interface with the GPS and I cannot access the logs.
I was wondering how could I estimate the gravity of the damage and if it is possible to try to repair it, or sh
Read more…Hello, I understand that for a piloting purpose the yaw servo is nice to have, but could a drone work just fine without it? If so, could the ArduCopter software work on a tricopter that hasn't got it, or some tweaking would be necessary? (I'm referri
Read more…Hello, after my plane had a bad crash the sensors on the APM still work fine, but the initialization stops at the B led (although on the GPS the fix led goes solid and all connections look fine). The only thing that I changed hardware-wise was to con
Read more…My quad had a mild crash upside down (hitting the field with its motors). One of the motors stopped to work, but at the end of the day it started again.
Now when compared to others it's clearly visible that it spins slower. In flight the quad is still
Read more…Hi all, I've been wanting to assemble a small coaxial copter controlled by Arduino. My goal would be to build a really cheap surveillance drone.
BUT, I have a number of questions:
First of all I was wondering why quads are so popular and helis so relatively unpopular in the ardupilot diy world (at least this is the feeling that I've got comparing the number of topics on the two models).
Then I was wondering if there existed som
Read more…I wanted to build an ArduPlane to start doing FPV flights, and I'd love to hear some suggestion on the matter.
My main doubts are regarding the fpv equipment:
My quad crashed into a house while in auto, but the logs display that it should have been in the field (they are incorrect).
Green arrow: were should have landed
Blue arrow: were he thought he was going
Red arrow: were he went
The compass was faulty (no

Read more…My RC has only one mode, so I set all modes to "auto", but when I bring the quad on the field I cannot activate the autopilot to run the mission. At the moment I also have no wireless module on it.
How can I activate the autopilot with this limitation
Read more…I’m trying to build a UVA for reconnaissance purposes, but I’m really short on budget. I’ve already got an Arduino with a gps module, therefore I’d thought to throw in a digital compass, two motors and a helium balloon to create a small zeppelin equi
