"Found the problem. A defective APM unit that was bought last January or February 2013. Possibly one of the first gen APM 2.5 production units. This problem was reported also by several others in the forum. It was returned for repair but obviously…"

Hi. Has anyone encountered the radio tx not working via wireless telemetry radios (no visible input in  even in radio calibration) but work perfectly via USB cable? This is in Mission Planner. The telemetry radios are communicating properly (i.e.…

Serg Abad replied to iskess's discussion Redundant Systems
"Its a good thing the failsafe issues and concerns have been revived.
I've had two crashes with APM2.0 and APM2.5 some time ago with Autopilot-to-Manual switch over not working at a high enough altitude to recover. There was an RTL dive issue during…"

"Hi guys,
Can anyone point me to the specs and wiring directions/instructions of the 3DR servomux board? The board is no longer in the store and a search on the new forum returns nothing.  
Thanks in advance. "

"Since no one has replied to this thread, it looks like nobody has really tried using the pan servo output of APM or attempted to enable it in the code. :(  "

Serg Abad replied to Serg Abad's discussion Weird 3 Axis Camera Gimbal Operation
"An additional observation is that the pan stab servo is not responding at all to any motion of the APM. There seems to be no servo signal to the motor since I do not encounter resistance when I try to rotate it slightly. And the pan servo works when…"

Hi Guys,I seem to have encountered some weird camera gimbal operation with APM 2.5 and MP 1.2.22. I have used the APM 2.0 before with camera stab fine with pitch and yaw. This is the first time I have used all three camera axes - pitch, roll and yaw…

Hi guys. I just encountered a problem with the most recent update of MP 1.2.1 Mav 1.0 and AC 2.7 update. While trying to connect to establish a data link (USB) to APM2 board it either stops midway (or somewhere near the end) during connection or…

"Defective radio was replaced. New one did not bond with other radio. Checked frequency parameters and matched them on both radios using list boxes: MIN FREQ set at 433000 and MAX FREQ at 434700. Saved params to radios.
Radios WORK now!
