"On my copter, I put black electrical tape on the top of the 2.5 case. This prevents light leaking on to the baro sensor. Without the tape, my copter will dip down several feet with certain angles of sunlight. Of course, since yours is doing this…"
"I was able to get the settings changed and the when I connect it to the apm2.5, it gets a fix. However, as soon as it gets a 3D fix, the artificial horizon in Mission Planner moves a little on it's own while the apm is still and also the altitude…"
"Roger, I believe Matt is correct that the camera must be on to use the requested command.
However, I've been looking into how to control lens retraction with CHDK. You could just leave the camera on but have a script to extend and retract the…"
"This looks to be a great tool! I'm very interested in purchasing an inexpensive Android device to run this on. Any suggestions for a device that would work well with this app yet cost under $200? I don't mind buying a used one if needed. Thanks…"

"I have an older Canon point and shoot camera with CHDK on it (SD750). The problem I experienced with it is it won't allow video out and the usb port to be used for triggering at the same time. When I hook up both, it keeps taking a photo every…"
"I have the RC Timer 4215 650kv motors and would like to use the carbon fiber 15"x5.5 propellers mentioned in this thread. But what would be the best way to mount the propellers to the motors? These motors have a three point prop adapter so I can't…"
"I just put 2.7.3 on my hexa. So far I'm very impressed with this release!
I simply loaded the code on it. I didn't alter any pid's whatsoever and the hexa is flying rock solid. In my backyard it has very steady althold and loiter works within 3…"
