"I have been using the same home made cable for over a year on a A6000, QX1 and Nex 3N. The voltage on the sony cameras is 3.3 volts which is the same as a Pixhawk so you don't need a logic level converter. I checked and the current to trigger is…"
"Biggest issue for me would be the engine quiting and then having to retrieve the boat. If it is Petrol most those exhaust to the air and not in the water like outboard motors do so direct pollution is less. 2 stroke petrol oil is burned and does…"
"Having crashed in a area of tall sage brush about 3/4 of mile away here is how we tracked our aircraft. We were using mission lanner which I could get the last known coordinates. Being in an area of no wireless internet the only thing I had was my…"
"When I upgraded Mission Planner on a computer it would keep crashing when starting. I ended up just downloading and installing Mission Planner over the existing Mission Planner. Problem was solved for me."
"I believe the part is a voltage regulator. Here is a link to a picture that shows the number. Here is a Digikey link to the part. The part is only $1.58. Go for it and see if you can repair it."
"This might be a little late but I had the same issue the other day. Make sure your collective pitch and throttle are in their minimum position. This happene when I upgraded to Arducopter 3.4. I'm using a gas powered helicopter so my throttle is on…"
"We just picked up a new Flir Vue Pro as well. While I have not hooked up the cable for geotagging yet they do supply a cable that connects from the Pixhawk to the camera. The cable I believe connects to the telemetry 2 port on the pixhawk. The PWM…"
"Very good. Please keep us updated on your progress to use STM32F1 board with SLAM or other algorithms. "
"I know you said you calibrated the ESCs but did you follow these directions? http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/esc-calibration.html. Couple years ago I had the same problem and calibration fixed the problem. "
"I would also like to be trial user. I have experience with using the Piksi with pixhawk. We are a mapping drone and currently we are using L1/L2 Gps for ground control. rob at abovenv.com"
"I am runing a Pixhawk on a Carbon Z Cub. The cub is a high wing with ailerons, rudder and elevator. One thing you might check is if you had to reverse a direction of one or more of your servos you will need to change the direction in Mission…"
"One thing you have to remember you are not applying for certificate of airworthiness (COA). You are applying for an exemption from the rules of manned aircraft. They are basically verifying that your craft will be under 55 lbs. A year ago all craft…"
"Why not include your own design? You will have a little more paperwork to provide. Also if you craft is similar to something else state it in your application. Add everything under the sun that is already approved. Right now its taking 5 to 6 months…"
"That is the serial number of your Pixhawk. Comes up at the beginning of your connection with Pixhawk."
"Is there another log file? This one only shows a flight of 4s. The .bin log file downloaded from the Pixhawk shows much more information than a Tlog file. Also your voltage reported was only 9 volts."
"Just under the Reply window you should see the link Upload Files on this page.
So what did the plane do when you hit RTL, did it go straight down or something else?"
