Hi all,
I was one of the early users of jDrones and APM, but I had some personal problems and didn't do anything for years.
Now I'm back but I've seen that everything changed.
ArduCopter doesn't run anymore on APM, the only thing I've seen still running

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 2

Behavior I noticed in the quad
First problem I've seen is that the quad drift quite a lot forward/

I'm trying to setup my Turnigy 9x to trigger failsafe on arducopter, but I noticed that when I turn off the radio, the signal of the throttle stays the same as it was before turning it off, instead of dropping to 0.
I found this page on the ardupil

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 in

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 fo

I'm trying to setup my turnigy 9x with stock firmware to send 8 channels to the APM2 and I was trying to understand how it works.
In the configuration I can assign to the AUX channels, ch 5 to ch 9 from the output of the following switches and pote

finally completed my arducopter, and been able to finally test it... unfortunately only indoor and not outdoor as it was already pretty dark when I completed everything.
But I have a problem and I'm not sure it's normal give the conditions (ind

I'm trying to understand the radio channel assignments and what they do (or can do via configuration) in the standard code available, but information a pretty sparse over the two wikis (arducopter and ardupilot), outdated (every version of ArduCop

dopo 2 anni sono finalmente riuscito a trovare il tempo di assemblare il mio arducopter: non l'ho ancora fatto volare, solo testato senza eliche attaccato all'alimentatore da tavolo, anche per il motivo che vi sto per esporre:

I'm building my arducopter, after a few years leaving it in the box.
I have the APM2.0 with the case, but cannot find a way to fix it to the jDrones frame.
I could fix it without the case using o-rings, but I cannot see how to fix it with the case o

more than one year ago I bought from HobbyKing 2 Lipos for my Copter... unfortunately due to personal problems I never get to start building the copter and never used them.
Now I was starting to look into that things again, and I was checking every

I bought a Turnigy 9X and I'm building an Arducopter, and I'm a total newbie for what pertains airborne RC models.
From what I understood the Turnigy is basically the same (or very similar) HW of more expensive radio. The thing that keeps is c

I'm back to the world of Arducopter since a few months of absence due to personal problems and I didn't keep up with all the things that happened.
Browsing around I saw that there are 4 firmware available:
In one of the latest video by Jani I saw a camera mount on Arducopter.
I was wondering whether it was a custom design or if it was a prototype of something coming that is ready made for the Arducopter.
And in that case, will it be just a static mount o
I'm pretty much a newbie in this area and I was trying to understand the basic ideas around an autopilot.
Hi all,
this is my first post on this forum: I just registered after having seen some cool videos around.
I'm a web developer by day, the maintainer of a pretty popular (at least in the .NET world) opensource project. But lately I'm starting to play ar
