Bought an SX260 a while ago for mapping, but never ended up using it beyond a couple quick test flights. Like new condition. Complete with box, etc. These are sought after because of CHDK and NDVI conversions. Asking $200.

Read more…Hello,
I just wanted to start a post discussing AC3.4. People should be aware that I'm not reviewing the code in Master or doing test flights at this time. Recently, a large set of changes went into Master related to refactoring the flight stabiliza

As some people are aware (and some maybe not) for a little over a year I have been doing development wor

Read more…WARNING to TradHeli users:
Do not attempt to fly AC3.3 until you hear otherwise from me. I have not even bench tested it yet, let alone test flown it. There are quite a lot of changes that have gone in that could be crash-o-matic for helicopters.

I've seen the question asked several times over the years, about whether or not Arducopter could support high speed 760uS rudder servos. I remember trying to help somebody with it a couple years ago, and at that time it seemed not possible

Read more…I've posted about this before, but I feel I must reinforce this:
You MUST use a completely independent power supply for your APM or Pixhawk than you use for the Servos. DO NOT use one BEC to supply both the Servos, and the APM/Pixhawk.
On most of my h

At this time, I have not flight tested 3.2rc1 or rc2. I have been doing bench testing, and they likely will no
Read more…I am attempting to fix the flybar acro code, wanted to get it out with the upcoming 3.1.3 release, but I'm in a bit of a pickle. It compiles in Arduino, but won't compile in Make for PX4. I assume it's just some sort of annoying problem with Make.

I'd like something that will run as fast as the camera can. Using fixed focus and exposu
Read more…Warning of an important bug.
Do not use "Flybar" mode with Acro mode. When these are combined, the servos stop responding to cyclic input. If you switch to acro mode in the air, you could crash.
Use of Acro mode with Flybarless selected is totally fi
