Simone Chiaretta replied to Simone Chiaretta's discussion Can I still use the APM board 2.0 with arducopter 3.x?
"I think I have a separate compass but not a separate GPS. I'll look into this.
I remember the problem I had was the copter heavily drifting to one side even indoors instead of raising straight... I guess probably a calibration problem or a…"

"thank you.
I guess I can still try restarting the thing with the old hw I had, and then see if makes sense to move to a newer platform"

Hi all,I have built a arducopter a few years ago end 2012, but I encountered some problems and left it there (and also for other personal reasons) till now.It was with the APM 2.0 board. Now I'm trying to catch up and I've seen that, apart from APM…

"@Steven: thx.. I have a jDrone quadcopter... probably I'd need different size... I'll let you know if I still need it now that I just received the APM case"

"Didn't you have to reverse the pitch stick in order to have it working correctly (stick forward, pitch forward and stick back, pitch backward)?"

"I think my next radio will be a quality radio... at the end I'm still spending money to get it up to the task (programmer board, backlight, telemetry, failsafe RX)."

Simone Chiaretta left a comment on ArduCopter User Group
"I'm finding that the pitch channel has to be reversed to have the quad behave properly (stick forward, pitch forward). Otherwise the quad will pitch forward when pulling the stick back, which imho is counter-intuitive.
Personally I think it's a bug,…"

Hi,I need to reverse a channel of the radio (the pitch channel, which by default is setup the opposite way I'd expect it to work).But in the latest version (1.2.27) I cannot find the checkbox for the reverse any more (like the screenshot available…

Hi,I was doing the first preliminary tests and was testing to see if everything looked ok.Throttle, yaw, roll all works fine: if I move the stick the copter moves the way it should.The one one that is reversed is pitch: with the front arm pointing…

"Ibrahim, the best solution is to buy a ready made kit, like jDrones or the 3DR kits. It cost less and it's less time consuming than buying all the pieces separately. The links to buy them are in the menu of the site."
