About Me:
Long time electronics and firmware tinkerer, and software developer. See www.rogerclark.net ,but I've not updated my blog for quite a while ;-(
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I currently have a DJI Phantom 2 +Futaba T8FGS, which I'm converting to APM 2.5

"Interesting product.
I've been looking at STM32 boards recently, as you can use them in place of Arduino Pro micro's and they are 72Mhz and have more flash and more ram.
Shame this is a closed source product as the generic STM32 boards are around…"

"OK. Here is my Mavlink code based on Mavlink-sniffer
Note. You need to get the Mavlink library from inside this archive
https://github.com/howroyd/mavlink_sniffer
Then in the INO you must hard code the path to your mavlink library
see in the code…"

"Just found the code that controls the LEDS. This is just test code, that cycles all 4 arms through all 4 possible colour states i.e OFF, RED, GREEN, Yellow
but it may be useful
Note. I"m using Pins 3,5,6,9 If you use different pins you'd need to…"

"Hi Safwen, My Phantom 2 is definitely SBUS not PPM I'll attach the files in a minute to another post NOTE. This code needs an Arduino ATMega32U4 based board. I use a "Arduino Pro Micro" from eBay The reason it needs this board is because the…"
"Interesting...
The module in my P2 doesn't have the connector for the external compass. The PCB is the same revision but the plug has not been soldered to the board"

"OK.
The DJI one seems to use an uBlox NEO 6Q. The DJI daughter board seems to be glued onto the GPS PCB and there are 6 connections at one end and one at the other.
I've not buzzed them to see where they connect to on the GPS module,but because…"

"Max,
Are you using the existing GPS (modified) or have you fitted a new GPS.
I'm just curious as it seems a waste to not re-use the existing GPS, as it looks like it can be re-purposed, but it was just easier for me just to get a new GPS, which I…"

"Max
AFIK the original GPS in the phantom 2 does not communicate with the Naza FMU using RS232, I think it uses a CAN bus hardware connection, with a private protocol.
i think someone on the RCGroups forum was reverse engineering the protocol of the…"

"Hi criro1999
I cant really comment on the PID's as all I have done is basic hovering of my P2 using the default PIDs.
I was intending to run the PID tune when I get a bit more working
Re: LEDS and Compass
Do you have a P2 or P1 or some other…"

Hi,I'm interested in doing a custom version of the firmware for the ArduPPM to interface to SBUS (either directly or indirectly).I'm currently converting my DJI Phantom 2 to use APM 2.5. But the Phantom 2's DJI receiver outputs SBUS.So I've built a…
"Mike,
Did you ever get around to flying using your code ?
I'm currently converting my DJI Phantom 2 to use APM 2.5, and I've build a SBUS to PPM converter using an Arduino Mini and an inverter (74LS00 NAND that I had in my box of junk)
Although…"

"Hi Stephen,
My understanding that directly driving the LED's using A4 to A8 are binary controls, i.e they are either on or off.
Unfortunately I need PWM to drive the existing hardware on the DJI Phantom 2.
So as you say, it looks like MAVLink is…"

Hi,I'm converting my DJI phantom 2 to use an APM 2.5 and would like to control the tri coloured LEDs that are under each of the 4 arms of the quad.I've figured out, that the LEDs are controlled using PWM and I've written some test code on an arduino…
"Hi max if you have a Phantom 2, here is another relevant posting on the arduino site
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,99708.0.html
Ie you don't need to use the Servo output class, as the P2 uses SBUS.
You'd need to write some code that…"

Its a Phantom 2 (not 3)"
