Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Just got my first semi-DIY drone up and running and hoping to do more! Started with a MicroDrone 2.0 and am working my way up. Hoping to use drones for outdoor video.

"Hey Nick,
I believe it was just something feeding into the original CH11 connection. It's also possible that there's something wrong with my board. There's no reason why it wouldn't have worked in CH11 over CH10. I did find that I blew a regulator…"

"Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the concept, but wouldn't a "fighting" condition constitute minor voltage spikes that a capacitor would be able to mitigate? I would think that as long as the voltages aren't additive, adding a capacitor would just be a…"
"It seems like you could throw a capacitor on there to smooth the output. I've gotten into the habit of just throwing one on all my systems to help prevent random voltage spikes/brown outs. Also adds the additional advantage of not having to modify…"
"What would be the result if you plugged in all 3 BECs to the rail?"
"Update to the update:
Got it working in CH10 and configuring using the Windows Mission Planner application. I also checked the Reverse box so the min position of the Pot keeps it at 0 degrees."

"Update:
I've been playing around with the connections between the APM and the gimbal and it looks like the APM is sending the gimbal some strange signals.
Right now, the gimbal will twitch and tilt on its own. As a test, I switched the signal wire…"

"Hey all,
I'm having an issue with my Tarot T-2D (firmware v1.5) and connecting it with my APM 2.5 (firmware 3.1.2) where I am able to "successfully" connect the gimbal (blue light blinks as if successfully connected to APM), but I have no tilt…"

Amazon has a bunch of mini/micro drones for under $50 to get you started. From personal experience, it is a million times more disheartening when you have to do a 2+ hour drone repair after a sub 2 minute flight :P
On the other hand, you learn…"

"You could also plug a UBEC into empty output pins. I have mine plugged into the pins in 8 with a capacitor in 6 to level out the voltage output. This will power your servo rail without having to modify your servo wires on your ESC/servo."
"Quick update: Looks like the problem persists with the firmware upgrade on the newest version of APM Planner 2 :("
"I was actually thinking the same thing :P
My quad is out of commission after a spectacular crash, so I'm taking the time to tweak the software.
Speaking of which, I have some questions about the PX4. Would you mind too terribly if I PMed you? "

"Oh wow! As of yesterday, in fact. I'll try to give it a go tomorrow and let you know.
I quickly tested out my quad's Stabilize mode and it looks like the engines now run at 0 throttle. I recalibrated my radio, but ended up with the same result.…"

"Yup! That did it! Thanks!"
Hey all!Having some trouble updating my APM 2.5 to the latest firmware through the Mac version of APM Planner 2.0 for Mac. I run into two messages when I try to update:1) If I connect to the APM BEFORE selecting the initial setup and try to upgrade,…
"Did you try running the diagnostics in CLI mode for each of the components?"
