TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to nano_khalid's discussion My New High Effecient Setup Getting Ruin - Low KV quad in ArduCopter User Group
"It may be a vibration problem. Going from 2.6 to 2.9 with the same mount made our flight much less stable. I added some foam to dampen vibrations and that solved the problem. You may want to try some sort of vibration dampening or trying an older…"

I apologize if this question has already been asked.We currently have a quadcopter that can lift a pretty good payload, we are currently looking into a hexacopter. We have so far taken footage from a contour+(like a gopro) but it has been mounted in…

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to Silviu's discussion X 8 Setup How to run 8 motors on APM 2.5? in ArduCopter User Group
"I can't help with your problem. I would imagine that the zip file is in the google code wiki downloads section. That is an awesome frame, could give some more details on it (how did you do 2 props on the top with one motor going through the other?)?…"

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to kstar's discussion Toronto Star story? in Canada
"We had Kate and her photographer over to watch a flight today. Things went well. Her photographer got lots of footage. Unfortunately we had some issues with XBee so could not show that aspect. We had some wind gusts and so did not do any autonomous…"

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to kstar's discussion Toronto Star story? in Canada
"Thanks Dany. We will just do some flight on the field in stabilize and loiter as well as some auto missions. We can likely use the gym if we need to.
We are always surprised at how accessible the technology has become. 
We may do some higher…"

Dear Users,I have been having a few issues with 2.8 and have seen in mission planner that there is an option to install an old firmware. When I click this menu all it gives are long sets of charachters. I was wondering if anyone knew what code in…

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to keeyen pang's discussion AttoPilot current reading
"Speaking of the Attopilot current reading is there a way to see in mission planner how much power has been used (mAh). I know that I can set total battery capacity but is it possible to see how much power has actually been used because the voltage…"

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to Gamani's discussion Any chance to save my 5.8 TX ?
"I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this. Is this the Hobbyking 5.8ghz? If so this happened to me while I was trying to hook up a non board camera. The resistor turned red and was fried. I noticed the same thing as you and thought that it was weird.…"

For those of us who watch flitetest (flattest.com  youtube.com/user/flitetest) we are aware that they are now asking the viewers what they would like to see. I think that they do some really great reviews and informational videos. If they were to do…

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to Rick Eis's discussion Cant detect your APM version. Please check your cabling
"This seems to be a common problem. We had the exact same problem. Initially we thought it was a bootloader issue. Turned out a component fell off, sent back for repair.

You can try to reflash with a manual compile of arduplane or arducopter with…"

TFS Aeronautical Robotics Club replied to Wildbill's discussion Possible fault with APM 2.0
"We had a similar problem. Completely unable to load firmware "error cannot detect APM version". Initially we thought it was a bootloaders problem
It turned out that a component (cannot remember which) had fallen off in shipping"
