"It looks like the registration site is being taken down in the evenings for maintenance. They do not even know how to properly write their notification, saying "tonight" rather than giving an actual date.…"
"So this is where it is a little tricky. I use both the APM Planner 2 and the old Mission Planner for configuration. I started with APM Planner 2, which has the configuration setup for the Lidar Lite, and then after configuring some of the newer…"
I have the LidarLite on my quad with a Pixhawk controller running software version 3.2 and I see the ranging values in the setup screen. When the quad is sitting on the ground on the landing gear, the LidarLite is about 50cm above the ground. Does…
"Hi, Zeeshan,
I have found a good description of working with LiPo batteries at http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-lipo-batteries.html.
Graham gave you a literal answer to your question, but to get 30 minutes of flight time you will need a well…"

"Hi, Eugene,
I have both the APM 2.6 and the new Pixhawk. I have successfully flown the APM 2.6 and it works great. Having the APM fly waypoints all by itself is really cool. I just recently received the Pixhawk in January (which I had on order…"

"Hi, Tyler,
The 3DR power brick which comes with the Pixhawk (at least as of January 2014) is the same one (or has the same specs) they have been selling for a while. It is still only useable up to a 4s LiPo battery. I finally received my PixHawk…"

"Hi, Tyler,
The AttoPilot sensor does work. I purchased that and am using it with an APM 2.6. The AttoPilot is only for voltage and current sensing though. It does not supply the 5v power for the APM or Pixhawk.
I am using both the AttoPilot…"

I see in the common-Pixhawk Overview that it comes with a "External power supply similar to existing 3DR power brick". Anyone know if the power brick supports higher voltages than the standard 3DR power brick which only supports up to a 4s LiPo…
"Hi, Darell,
SimpleBGC is the name that Aleksey Moskalenko (Alexmos) appears to be marketing his board. He has licensed his designs to a few different outlets for selling in different markets. Look here http://www.simplebgc.com/eng/buy/ to see some…"

Currently a GoPro 3 is static mounted to my Neo 660 Hex Copter and it takes pretty nice video, but the video is pretty wild and jerky due to the maneuverability of the copter. So a brushless camera gimbal is in the works. The SimpleBGC…
"I cannot speak specifically for W8 on a tablet, but I have W7 on a netbook, Gateway LT4010u with a 10.1 inch screen and a built-in touchpad and it works great at the field."
"Clockwise is the correct sequence for the motors to spin up during the "motors" test.
See http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_props_2/ for the proper spin. The forward motor in a "+" configuration should spin clockwise. Double check you have…"

"Remote monitoring was not enabled, so here are the on-board logs. I do not know if they will be useful or not in debugging the crash.

"39 degrees and sunny. Just waiting for replacement parts to become available again for my grounded Century Neo 660 Hex with an APM 2.5 which decided to do a suicide run into the terrain."
