Hi,
Just installed new AC 3.2.2 firmware with APM Planner 2.0. Perhaps something went wrong with the installation cause PH doesn't react normally: When I connect the USB no sounds from the piezo (just short 1ms silent knock sound). Safety button is fl

I have Favourite Sky III 30AX4 4 in 1 ESC. I'm calibrating the ESC like this;
1. I put radio on, I set full throttle
2. I power up Pixhawk and wait for musical startup tone of Pixhawk and then disconnect the battery
3. I reconnect battery and I hear

During todays flight Arducopter CODE301RC7 hit FAIL SAFE -> RTL. How can I check afterwards from log what type of FAIL SAFE I had
(Batt low voltage, Batt low capasity, radio, telem, cgs, gps or some other FAIL SAFE?)

1. Is it possible to commence the autotrim procedure without radio switch, can I use some mission planner button to save the autotrim levels?
2. Is autotrim possible to set up to another channel than CH7?. Can I use CH6 for auto trim?

I have calibrated radio. In radio calibration: When I push right stick forward the green pitch bar goes up and shows pwm value 1940, stick in the middle value is 1520 and when the stick is pulled back the value is 1100 and the green bar is down. S

How APM should be configured if you want to use only rudder/elevator (no ailerons) for steering the plane?
Read more…Hi, I just tested to put three 5,5V 1.5F ultracapacitors parallel and connected the system to the APM power rail. APM stayed alive 10 seconds when normal LIPO/ESC was disconnected. Telemetry radio was also connected to the APM and transmitting full p

(Use AS sensor) When I set RTL at 50m the plane starts descent with nose pitch 0°

I tested FBW A and after hand launch the plane climbed very very very slowly even though I had the stick from radio pulled fully down. But when I switched to stabilize mode the plane seemed to have lot more control in pitch. What is the logic of the

How does the quad or any other multicopter motor arm/strut lenght and flexibility affect to the flight performance or stability if u keep the motor size same all the time? How would for example a quad copter with 1m arm lenght fly? Or how would a

Perhaps LM35 sensor could be used:

Today I tested my latest plane design. Before the first flights I decided to make a short test drive with a car just to test how the APM 2.5 and installed telemetry and other things work. During the test I noticed quite interesting thing...

Here is one method how to configure the throttle failsafe to APM / Futaba T8FG (Super)
1. Make normal radio calibration in Mission Planner.
2. Enable throttle failsafe in failsafe configuration page and set PWM limit value to 1000
(this PWM limit val
