Hello everyone,I was wondering if any of the two scenarios are possible with APM2 or APM2.5:Scenario 1.Launch the octocopter and point it to a subject, let's say a building, is it possible to activate a "camera lock" at that position by flipping a…

"I'm getting the same error "Error opening comport" if I already connect mission planer with APM2 (through 3DR radios) but if I don;t connect first, and just hit log download you can see what is happening in the link bellow, I waited about 10 minutes…"

Ovidiu Sopa replied to Jerry Normandin's discussion I replaced a failing NTM 26-28a motor on the front starboard side.. better flights now! Does anyone have any ideas onhow to make a good foam or rubber based landing gear to absorb shock ?
"Here's a post where I wrote about my landing gears I have a 1900grams tricopter (6000mA lipo and 250grams camera + FPV gear and more...)
I'm extremely happy about how it helps on landings."

"I just tried it now and I have the same issue as Gabor's firmware, the OSD values are not changing if the TX is removed from MinimOSD, everything is 0, only the mode changes.

"Thank you, I will try it now. I also tryed Gabor's firmware and I can't use it well with a 3DR radio connected also. It works great if I connect the TX to MinimOSD but if I remove the TX it doesn't work."
