GPS time from Andropilot
I have been using andropilot for a while now and like it as it seems to work for us, well done!
For the current job that I am doing, I need to synchronise my MAPIR camera clock with the APM GPS clock before each mission, is there a way to see what the
Read more…So NDVI or not?
As we know there has been a lot of discussion on this subject and no clear winner from what I can see.
We are looking at the micasense red edge sensor, but it is a huge capital outlay for several units, so naturally apprehensive.
We have been playing a
Read more…Loiter turns
Can someone please advise how to use loiter turns in a flight plan AC3.15?
We have tried various different options, but the multicopter doesn't turn, it just reaches the waypoint, loiters then moves on.
This is how we have been experimenting with the f

Hi All,
I haven't used the auto camera trigger function for a long while and went to set it up in arducopter 3.15, however it doesn't seem to be available anymore, or maybe I am missing it!
How do I program the apm to take a photo when reaching each wa

Does anyone have a parameter file for a DJI F450 flame wheel using 10" props and AC 3.15?
Read more…RTL return speed
Can anyone tell me which parameter to change to make my multicopter RTL quicker?
I thought it may have been wp nav speed, but that by default is set at 500 cm/s which is pretty rapid, but it only comes back in RTL at around 3.3 m/s.
Read more…TLogs
I flew my octaquad three times today at different times, however only the last log file seems to have been saved.
Is there some setting somewhere that I need to change to make it save all the logs from the flights and not just the last one of the day?
Read more…Octaquad
I have built an octaquad and am using AC3.1.5. I am also using a servo operated stabilized camera mount and (using A11 & A10). I wanted to use the camera shutter servo, but all 8 of the RC outputs are used on our APM 2.6.
Does anyone know if it is all
Read more…Warning Hold
I was out flying our octaquad yesterday and andropilot announced 'warning hold' a couple of times.
What is this warning me off, what is held? I can't find anything about it anywhere?
It has been suggested it is a fail safe warning, but the multicopter
Read more…AC2. 8 firmware
Can anyone tell me please how I can load a pre INS firmware. I.e. v2.8. The APM only goes back as far as version 2.9.
Read more…Landing speed minimum descent rate
Does anyone know why the RTL landing speed minimum descent rate has been changed to 30cms per second in this latest release 3.1?
I used to have it set at 10cms per second in the final stage and the multicopter would land really smoothly and slowly, no
Read more…Does wind badly affect the APM?
I have upgraded our quad to an octaquad and we have been conducting test flights using AC3.1.
The first test flight 18th, was in relatively calm wind conditions and the IMU showed quite low X,Y & Z settings. The drone flew very well except it didn't h

I know that there is geofencing available, but some time ago there was a discussion about how far the APM will go before turning around to RTL. Someone mentioned 2.5Km but I can't find the discussion.
Does anyone know if there are any limits to the AP

First of all, I have to say what a brilliant piece of software, works a treat well done!
One question though, the TLog files are only saved to my Galaxy S4's internal memory not the SDcard as it says it should be.
It also seems to have overwritten the

I clicked on the pick previous firmware link on the latest APM planner as I wished to reload arducopter 2.8.1 as opposed to the latest 2.9.1b.
However I get the following in the drop down box, have I done something wrong?
Fly by wire mode
We have been flying an X8 flying wing for the best part of a year and it behaves really well in manual, stabilised or RTL modes.
However we have noticed that it is super stable in fly by wire mode B, but the aircraft slowly gains altitude even with th

Can someone please tell me why the quad correctly auto took off at waypoint 1, flew correctly to waypoints 2 and 3 then just waited at 3? The HUD seemed to show it was waiting at 4, when the map shows it at 3?
I had to initiate an RTL to get it to ret

My colleague and I have had issues with adding a stabilized pan control to our camera gimbals. I am using arducopter on a quad and my colleague is using a gimbal on arduplane. We both get the same results using APM 2's.
The roll and tilt commands work
Read more…MinimOSD baud rate
I have an XRF in use with our APM2 and we have been testing lowering the baud rate to 38400 to stop lost packets.
However when we did that, the MinimOSD stopped receiving data. It only seems to work when we have 57600 set.
How do we change the MinimOSD
