Niklas Goddemeier replied to Niklas Goddemeier's discussion Yaw orientation during mission
"Dear all,
after sometime I am giving this another try. However, I am having not much success. Is there any way to keep the orientation during the execution of a mission? Is there some parameter I can change to keep arducopter from orientating toward…"

Niklas Goddemeier replied to Niklas Goddemeier's discussion Yaw orientation during mission
"Thank you very much for the help. I have been playing with the CONDITION_YAW command quite a bit. The DO_SET_ROI command has disappeared in the current version of mission planner.
My findings for CONDITION_YAW are however that no matter what I set,…"

Hi all,is there a way to control the yaw orientation / heading of the copter during a mission? As far as I have tested, the copter always points to the next mission waypoint and flies "forward". Even though you can enable "simple mode" with auto it…

Niklas Goddemeier replied to Andrew Adams's discussion AC2_HIL Problem
"For some reason I can't get this to work.
I have followed the instructions on the wiki. AC is setup and configured. I can get FlightGear to start and see the copter sitting on the runway. As soon as I hit Sim Link Start, the motors start to turn.…"

Hi everybody, got some testing done on 2.0.49 this weekend. At first I tried loiter which worked ok. After that a little mission with three waypoints. It missed one but it worked ok so far. So there are some really good advances though the last…

Niklas Goddemeier replied to u4eake's discussion ArduCopter 2.0.46 testing
"Hello,
I got a chance to test 2.0.46 (Git Version from Saturday). The last version I have used was 2.0.44 which worked extremely well for me. Here is the little test report for 2.0.46:
Loiter worked ok but I have seen better performance in earlier…"

Niklas Goddemeier replied to Jason Short's discussion Arducopter 2.0.43
"Not sure is this was mentioned before but just to get some clarification as I tried guided mode today:
 
Altitude: As sson as I switched to guided mode it started to accent. I read in the wiki that the behavior is similar to RTL so, is that because…"

"Just came back from testing this version. Even though it was a little windy I had the first successful loiter experience, ever. This is really a big step from the previous versions. Tomorrow I will test waypoint and guided as this is the first time…"

Niklas Goddemeier replied to agmatthews's discussion AC 2.0.38 - the good the bad and the ugly
"I have also experienced a flip two days ago. I am on 2.0.38 and fly in X - config. First attempt with the new version were quite successful. During a second attempt the copter fell out of the sky rolling over its left side. Altitude was about 2m, no…"

Niklas Goddemeier replied to Justin Muzz's discussion Control individual motors on Arducopter
"Do you really mean Wifi? As in 802.11x? Considering the RTT of Wifi, I don't think you will have much success. Usually the control loops run at xxx Hz up to xx Khz.Using Wifi you would need to sample the sensors, send the values, do offboard…"

Niklas Goddemeier replied to Jason Short's discussion 2.0.38 help and suggestions
"Hi everybody,
I have been testing 2.0.37 over the last few days. Stabilize and simple mode worked awesome. During Althold I noticed a few motor burst but it kept its altitude alright. I think the bursts were due to the wind. Loiter worked ok with…"

Hello,I have a question regarding the IMU calibration. As far as I understand when connecting the flight battery the gyros and accelerometers get calibrated. During that period the copter needs to stay still. My landing gear is not very stiff so it…

Niklas Goddemeier replied to afernan's discussion APM board v1.0 versus v1.4 - with arducopter 2 code
"Hi Angel,
 
in order to find differences in APM V1 and V1.4 you should have the same firmware Version running on both devices. It is very likely that the problems you have identified on V1 will be gone once you updated to 2.0.33.
