"I am using a Mac Book Pro with Parallels with Windows 7 and I am able to run the Mission Planner in a VM without any problems. With boot camp you can boot directly into same the partition and run it natively as well. Also, looks like Colorado is…"
"I've actually had something similar on APM2. I was flying the other day in stabilize (after attempting a mission in auto mode) and the copter flipped over and landed upside down with the motors still running (I had to unplug the battery to get them…"
"I just wanted to say thanks to all of the developers for hosting this webinar.
I am posting in this thread, since I suspect there are probably other developers trying to get an environment configured after the Webinar.

"I am really just getting into this now too. I come from a very similar background... Software engineer with no RC aircraft experience. I would definitely recommend the 3DR + APM2. With the Arducopter 2.6 it flies really well. I have actually managed…"
"I just wanted to give a quick thanks for the DIYDrones crew for arranging this event. I had a great time meeting and learning from all of the more experienced folks that were there."
I have a 3DR frame and I am having trouble following the instructions at http://stuff.storediydrones.com/ArduCopter3DRAssemblyInstructions for assembling the power distribution board. I received a 4 wire connector but the colors on it are green,…
"I have been running from SVN anyway since I needed to change INPUT_VOLTAGE for the battery monitor, so it wasn't too much to make these changes.
When I tried the following, the heading started around 60 degrees and only changed +-30 when rotating…"

I have followed the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Magnetos for adding the Magnometer directly to the APM board in the components down pins forward orientation. I have the APM board mounted according to…

"Thanks for the quick replies. It is the ESC that is powering the APM & receiver, so it sounds like this is normal and I won't worry too much about it."
I just finished assembling my ArduCopter kit and noticed that when the battery is plugged in but the copter is not flying that the right ESC gets hot while the other ESCs are cool to the touch. The motor feels like it is the same temperature as the…
