Paul Henckel replied to Paul Henckel's discussion (noob, hexacopter) How do you get this thing off the ground? in ArduCopter User Group
"Update:
We had forgotten to do compassmot calibration as well..
We saw Randy's videoguide, but instead of tape we used our hands to ensure it wouldnt move. The drone didnt move but one of the propellers fell off and I'm now one small flesh wound…"

"Thanks for the input, and that was exactly these things that were wrong. We went through the manual to make sure we didnt miss out on anything else. Basicly we did a check for:

Compass calibration
Acceleration calibration
Radio calibration

There probably is an easy explanation, but after two days of trying different things:Tried with Mission PlannerTried with APM Planner 2.0Tried with DX8 RC remotewe still cant get this thing into liftoff.We have a steady telemetry signal and when we…

Paul Henckel replied to Paul Henckel's discussion APM2.5 board fails to power GPRS Shield in Telemetry over cellular IP
"Ahh, problem solved. It was just a pin that was loose. It was halfway out of the GND on the telemetry connector. Those pins have to be really tightly secured."

Paul Henckel replied to Paul Henckel's discussion APM2.5 board fails to power GPRS Shield in Telemetry over cellular IP
"this question is probably very similar to this one http://diydrones.com/group/telemetry-over-cellular-ip/forum/topics/... and thus just a question of wiring more power to the Shield."

Paul Henckel posted a discussion in Telemetry over cellular IP
We havent been able to figure it out ourselves yet.The situation is that if we wire the 5V and GND pins of the our GPRS Shield to same pins on an Arduino UNO or to those pins on a FTDI cable then we can power up the Shield perfectly fine.But when we…

"Hi
We are trying to use the Seedstudio GPRS Shield v1.0 (SIM900), but we are unsure which pins to connect.

The Telemetry port on our APM2.5 has 5 wires, but from the spec of the GPRS shield we only need four TX(D8), RX(D7), 5V, GND.

How do we know…"
