Let me start at the beginning. Getting this bird in the air was not an easy task and cost huge $$$. Initially I had the APM onboard, but it would not fly at all. After a long time chasing the problem (even trying the DJI A2) I found the problem... Sl

For security purposes, I would like to place Android tablets in the hands on ground crew so they can see the UAV's position and direction in real time - the ground crew would not require control (this could be dangerous), just a view. Is this poss

I have done some digging around, maybe I missed this.
We're getting more flying time from Multirotors by making the props bigger (I'm talking about the 1hr+ range), to the point where there are now just downright scary to fly. I was thinking about

I clicked on the go button for some PixHawks, but I'm also using a Dragonlink system - would the Dragonlink reciever be able to connect to the PixHawk?
If not, what would my options be?
-PPM encoder?
-Stick with APM2.6?
Thanks!
Read more…Hi,
I'm wondering if the PixHawk will support a CHDK connection to trigger this camera at specific points? What connection would be requried if this is possible?
Thanks!
Read more…Hi,
I just got my new APM2.6 installed, and placed the GPS/compass on a riser above the APM (4"). Both the APM and GPS/Compass are facing the correct way (arrow forward). When I do my compass live calibration, I look up the declination for my area (-

Read more…I loaded up AC3.0.1b and took my hexa out for a spin - everything went well in Stab, so i switched to Alt Hold, Loiter and finally RTL. Hexa landing was perfect and uneventful. I dumped my hexa back home because I needed to rush off for a collection,

Firstly a huge thanks to the AC3 dev team, I'm really excited about this version. The Dev's are also putting in long hours and responding quickly to all the questions posted, a superb effort.
I built my Tarot T810 hexa (I was busy with a build log

I took my hexa out for a quick maiden hover to check vibrations, see below - are these ok?
I also checked out my VCC log and noticed this...
I have never seen this before, fluctuating between 4.9 and 5.1? I'm using the Turnigy Plush 40A switched ESC

I'm trying to tune my Hexa (4 crashes later) and I have hit a brick wall. I have the PIDs set extremely low, to the point where it becomes difficult to keep stable, but seconds after I lift off, the copter gets "angry" at me and while trying to sta

I'm going to be sending up some pretty expensive equipment soon, and would like to know which version of Arducopter is most stable (rock solid), so that I don't have any crazy reboots mid flight, TBE, anomalies. I'm not looking for 2m loiter and a

I hope someone can help me out here - I have a minimOSD in my FPV system, all working fine (OSD Showing up on FPV feed, etc). I swapped my FPV camera for a Flir Pathfindir, connected in exactly the same way (black -12, Red +12, and Yellow Signal)

I've been lurking in the shadows for about 2 yrs now, and today it's time to come out for some help.
Firtsly though, let me just say what an epic journey it's been so far on the APM road. My first roject was a plane, wich duly levelled off in auto
