Reversing deflections
Hi all,
I'm sat scratching my head trying to do something which is easy on APM...
My PX4 is all set up and working...however, in seatbelt mode, the autopilot actuation is reversed for the elevator and rudder. Ailerons are fine. My control inputs come t

Hi all,
I need an airspeed sensor for my PX4. According to the documentation, this is an analogue sensor (same as APM), however it needs a funny DF13-3S-1.25C connector. Not the usual PCB header APM uses.
Does anyone know where to get either:

Ardustation
Hi All,
I am struggling to find any concise information on ArduStation, but bits and pieces I can find suggest it is a pretty handy bit of kit that I might consider exploring...
My main intent it to create a SIMPLE antenna tracker. Simple because it in

Does anyone have experience of mounting APM2.5 this far forward? It's in an X8 so the cog is towards the rear of the big hunk of metal in the middle of the plane.Experience based answers or well founded speculation all welcome!cheerssimon

Hi all,
After some info from someone with experience or knowledge in this area, rather than just hearsay or speculation, please:
If I have two radios, one horisontally and one vertically polarised, I know the interference between them is minimal so you

Hi All,
Thought I should open this; yesterday I started experiencing some pretty horrendous wing flutter across the whole aircraft. It was a first harmonic, so the fuselage went up, both wingtips wend down (and vice versa), bending I would guess aroun

Hi all,
For some reason I just cannot get any data from my APM2.5 via xbee. Never had any troubles with APM2.
I am connected to the "new wireless port" on APM2.5 via a UartSBee breakout. The two XBee's connect to each other, no problem, however I am r

Hi all,
Just thought I should raise a bit of awareness into the research being conducted at Loughborugh University here in the UK!
I'm in the early stages of a 4yr project implementing both PEM and SOFC fuel cells into small unmanned, commercial off th

Hi all,
I have just received my APM2 today so I'm a new user.
I want the APM2 to send out the MAVLink messages to my XBee, which I believe is UART0 as per the usual setup procedure in the manual...no problems here.
HJowever, I ALSO want the same message

Hi all,
I have bought a MediaTek MT3329 GPS chip, very nice, and am using it with my Arduino Nano.
I am trying to set it to output the diydrones message message at 10Hz, 38400baud.
I believe the setup code should be:
Serial.begin(38400);
