Hello All,
I've been trying to figure out how to tune the gimbal on my hexa using ArduCopter 2.7.3 Both pitch and roll movements are not proportional to the movement of the hexa and center points are off.
On one of the earlier firmware versions, it wa
Read more…So I had a bit of a scare today. My hexa was set to loiter mode at about 10m altitude when all of a sudden it just took off like a bat out of hell, due North from its intended loiter position. I was able to quickly regain control, but not before it

I've been trying to use the CH6 tuning option with no luck. I've set the CH6 option to CH6_RATE_KP and set the min and max values to 0.10 & 0.14 respectively before clicking Write Params.
The result is that I either get 0.1 or 0.14 but n

I recently setup a new hexacopter and loaded ArduCopter 2.5.5. I'm using an APM 1. After plugging in the battery and using wireless telemetry to connect to the Mission Planner the altitude readings are all over the place:
This does not h
Hello Everyone,
I've recently run into a bit of a problem trying to write and read waypoints, with wireless telemetry, using the latest codes for ArduPlane and Mission Planner. I can connect fine using wireless telemetry and everything seems to be wo
Read more…Hi Guys,
I'm running into a little bug. I've set my failsafe to RTL in the case of a loss of radio signal. The issue is that every so often I get temporary losses of signal which engages the RTL mode but when the signal is regained and the mode swit

First of all Merry Christmas to all!
I went out to fly today and loaded a mission using APM Planer 1.1.12
I ran into an altitude glitch. The flight plan called for a default absolute altitude of 50m and the same for the first few waypoints of

After loosing my $1000 drone due to an elevator failure, I'm planning on adding a few safety features to the next beast. One of which will be a parachute.
For this I plan on writing a bit of code to trigger events based on altitude.
I've be

I loaded the APM 2.24 with all the default parameters today and went flying. Stabilization and FBWA worked fine but when switching to AUTO or RTL modes, the plane goes into a dive. I've tried setting waypoints with both relative and absolu

When enabled, the artificial horizon gets all sluggish and starts jumping around. As soon as I move the APM it looks as if the AH tumbles out of control. I also have Alpo's camera stabiliz
Read more…Hi All,
I'm just curious as to what would happen if both the radio and telemetry links were lost along with the Gps fix while under auto pilot or RTL?
This is a worse case scenario of course.
Let's say a fail-safe was set to RTL. Would the plane ke

I hope someone can help me with this issue as I would like to customize some of the code using the Arduino IDE.
I own 2 APMs with OilPan revision H IMUs. Both units work fine when loading the latest code using the APM Planner. Howev
