Pixhawk 1 to Frsky X8R telemetry

Does anybody know if you no longer need a teensy board? I still have an older version of 'plane' on my pixhawk. I had to get a new Taranis plus my old one broke. Just trying to set up the telenetry again. The new / used X9D radio had newer FW on it s

DF-13 to usb to set a 3dr radio

What's the best method to connect a 3dr radio [ eBay version ] with a  df-13 socket to usb [ pc ] ?? I need to set up one in MP and cannot see how to connect to my pc. The last time I did this several years ago it had the pins for the FTDI cable but

Copter design / rotating motors

I am thinking about building a 'H' quad copter and design it so the front two motors can rotate forward using the slider on my TX to allow for a more streamline forward flight. I know some people have simply mounted the motors forward facing so that

Nasty Props!

Reading this just breaks your heart and really makes me wonder if I shouldn't look into some kind of protection. Maybe the solo should come with them as well. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Copter propeller safety ideas

I'm a contractor and have seen table saws that can detect contact with a human finger / hand and cut the motor power instantly. It uses a current sensor similar to what you see in your kitchen and bathroom outlets aka GFCI outlets. That wouldn't work

iDroneCtrl iOS app works great!

I got iDroneCtrl [a limited but growing GCS for iOS devices ] and it works really solid and seems very intuitive. I created a mission and it worked flawlessly. I think I might have to get an iPad just for this. It plugs directly into the lightning co

Battery ? Mission Planner? Follow me downgrade :[

I am wondering if you can charge the $150 battery with your own charger? And can you replace the 4S battery yourself or is it impossible to get apart thus you have to buy the 3DR battery? Those are two things you cannot do with the Phantom that reall

No right yaw

Radio calibration page see's full right yaw input but pixhawk doesn't or barely responds. If somebody could look at this log I would really appreciate it.

Problem with 'bouncy' quad driving me nuts any idea's??

I have set up 3 quads now but for some reason after installing a new pixhawk on this quad [ that flew fine with another pixhawk ] I cannot get rid of this 'bouncy' quad. I have tried auto tune, high pids, low pids and nothing seems to fix it. Here's

How to waterproof a pixhawk

I would like to waterproof my pixhawk as much as possible. Last summer I installed one inside a frame called an Aqucopter which did well for waterproofing but suffered badly from the baro being so isolated form the outside alt hold was really bad. I

How does point of interest work?

Does this keep the camera aimed at the subject by keeping the aircraft aimed the right way or must it use a gimbal?

The green power led lights up and after a minute or so the fix led light starts to blink but the pixhwk never see's it. I can't find any documentation

Pixhawk keeps losing roll Pids! not flyable

I just replaced and amp 2.5 with a pixhawk and now seem to have a strange issue where upon restating the pixhawk the roll pid is zero! I discovered this by setting the mode stabilize and noticed the controller does not make any adjustments for roll.

2.72 easier to set up than the latest firmware??

I am having some issues with my new ground control set up and I think it might have to do with the fact I'm using and older APM 2.5 with arduplane 2.72 firmware. That is a new Mac so must run APM Planner. I like it but it doesn't seem to work %100 ri

Do PID adjustments effect forward or backward altitude hold?

MY quad loses altitude bad when going forward and gains altitude going backwards. It's holds nicely in level flight. The barometer aka Pixhawk is well protected from direct air movements. Is there a X factor, if you will, that can get tweaked in the

How do enter a TPC port number of 2000??

re- APM Planner advanced connection settings

I can't enter 2000. It only allows a number as low as 3000. I don't get it.  I have this set up and have the wifely connected to my Mac but cannot get APMP to connect to the network.

why won't any of my 915MHz connect?!!!!!!!

I've had a set of RFD900 for some time now. Once in awhile I've had to change the channel number and or reconfigure them and sometimes it went smoothly other times it took me a few tries. I always used the radio config tool in MP. But a couple days a

What is polarized?

Can somebody explain what 'polarized' is when referring to antenna's? What is circular polarized? 

And what is 1/4 wave or 1/2 wave? 

Thanks

ps I did do a search for polarized and only got one post. Either I didn't do something right [ highly likely :]
