Hi,
I have bought 2x APM2.6, 2x PM and 2x GPS with compass from DIYDrones store.
Tried to initially set up one set today. I have attached a PPM receiver on Ch5, cutting and resoldering the PPM jumper on the board. This was done correctly.
I used the PM

Radio is calibrated. IMU is okay.
Problem: Ailerons are centered in all modes except MANUAL, no matter what I do with the sticks or how I move the plane around to get it to stab

What is that with my PX4? I have ArduPlane 2.74 on it, I connect to it in MP and set things, all OK. Then write setting, disconnect, cycle power just to test, and all parameters are back at default at next power up. Hmm. What can that be?
It's abou

Didn't somebody make a board with several status (more than the usual three) LEDs for hooking it to the APM? And make a special branch of the firmware (Copter, as far as I remember) to control them? I cannot find it anywhere. I was about to do tha

I have an application where it is desired that the plane stays level in auto flight. It should turn with the rudder and not bank at all.
ArduPlane currently cannot do that. It uses ailerons as primary heading change control and the rudder is used a

I want to use the FollowMe code in the repo, or wrap my own, for having an ArduCopter follow me going down a mountain road. That means, it will receive guided mode commands with negative relative altitudes.
Can I expect that to work okay?

I have developed a library that allows DroneCell to be used with APM. That part works fine, however there are massive problems getting the stock mission Planner to

I am working on an addition to APM that manages a data connection via a DroneCell or other cellular modem. It maintains control of the mobile and checks the state of the connection, instead of just putting it into transparent mode and hoping every

I have a C++ class (header and implementation) that I have added to the libraries directory (in AP_foo subdirectory) and I want to use this library from within some modifications I will make to some of the .pde files.

Especially since the new HAL layer replaces (and needs to defeat) the final Arduino abstractions still used.
Is it because of the bootloader and the

I wonder if if would be hard to add a reliable crash detector to APM? Something that detects that the aircraft is stuck in the terrain or a tree or whatever. It would be nice to have, as it would enable shutting down the motors, preventing them fr

Sorry this is actually about the APM1 shield; I found no category for that.
Is there a 3.3V logic level SPI bus somewhere on it? I have an MPS5611 too many, and I might as well use it there if possible (with a few code mods I know).

I noticed that in ArduPlane 2.68/CGS_MAVLink.pde, line 1159 (about):
case MAVLINK_MSG_ID_SET_MODE:
There is no call to mavlink_check_target.
Is that intended?
Doesn't it mean that if one has 2 UAVs in the same network (broadcast radio, multicast TC

Hi,
Yesterday my APM2-equipped glider scored its 3rd tree landing, and the 2nd related to software issues if I am not wrong. A flight plan seems to have gotten corrupted.
I had my new GPRS data connection in it. The APM software had my modifications fo

Anyway I love the result. With a fast and reliab
