Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I like to take video and photos from the air using helicopters and a powered sailplane. I'm just building my first quad for AP/AV.

Does anyone know where I might find the most basic step by step instructions for using the Tower app? One would think that would be easy to find, but it is not. 3DR provides instructions that dance all around the core such as downloading the app,…
How does the Tower "land" function work - in regard to altitude? I have a mission that is set to 50 ft altitude for the whole thing. When I add LAND, it shows a down arrow and "75.0 ft". I do not understand why it would land 75 ft from a 50 ft…
"I have a CLUE for those who are still searching for answers. My telemetry worked just fine when I had everything set up together - in this case APM + power module + minimOSD + VTX + camera. Then I took things apart while waiting for a UBEC to arrive…"
"Hi David,
I had not seen D. Baldwin's videos, but they look like a good resource for when I move on to telemetry control. Right now I am only interested in creating missions before flight and then launching them - not controlling via tablet/…"

Trying to figure out how to use Andropilot. The voice keeps saying "warm bull" or something that sounds EXACTLY like "warm bull". What is she saying??Thanks
"Mike,
The voice is coming from the Andropilot ground station app on my Android tablet."

Very new to Andropilot... The voice is saying something like "warn bulled", "arm pulled" "warn pulled". What is she saying and what does it mean?Thanks
"I GOT IT!!
Working via PC/ bluetooth/ Mission planner I tried again and again numerous times with either a "No heartbeat packets received" error, or "Connection failed" error. I can't be sure of whether or not this is what finally made it connect,…"

"Possible progress. BT baud was not set to 57600. This time I was able to reset it via Arduino with the AT+buaud7 command. Attempts to do this before always failed, but this time it worked. Now to test connectivity... when I get a chance. Off to work…"
"Hi,
Working from my Android tablet; if I start Andropilot there is a "looking for radio" message with a button that says "bluetooth". When I press it, the BT module red LED goes solid and the message changes to "looking for vehicle". To me, this…"

"Hi Bill,
I had worked with the info on the link you provided before. I ran through it again just now. As far as I can tell the baud rate is correctly set to 57600, the SPP com port box is checked, my PC has paired with the BT module (RCtimer…"

I need help (please) setting up connection between an Arducopter 2.8, an RCtimer bluetooth module, and an Android tablet running 4.4.2. I would like to plan and fly simple "missions" using the tablet only as the interface for mission planning - no…
I am following instructions on http://docs.megapirateng.com/documentation/tipsntricks to disable the internal compass on a Crius AIOP v2. The instructions say"Use an external compass instead of using the internalSometimes you want to use an…
"Thanks.
Since posting I reloaded megapirate and it seems to be OK now. I think the problem happened when I copied my settings made in mission planner on another board I have set up successfully over to the new board. Something must be different…"

Hi. Help please. I am setting up a Crius AIOP v2. I ran the arduino configuration for Megapirate. It is plugged into Mission planner and the horizon is inverted. When I tilt the board it settles back into this same position regardless of how it is…
