"Hi James,
I am on a engineering co-op in Canada at the moment and we are just starting to do NDVI. How did you stitch these images? Will Pix4D be able to do it? Also, did you process the NDVI images before stitching them, or did you create a big…"

Hi All,Since updating to the latest code i cant seem to get airspeed to show up in the MAVLINK GCS in the Planner, when using Xbee... If i go to CLI, and test the airspeed sensor, it works.If i power the APM with usb, Airspeed works over XBEE in…
"Woaw, things are moving right along here! Good work! Does anyone know if PID's uploaded with the planner via USB will be "remembered" after a power cycle, in this version?"
"That looks pretty sweet! Were you showing live video on your laptop? i didn't see any cables attached to it, were you streaming the live video over WiFi?

Hey People, Ever since yestrday, my APM is having trouble comunicating with the PC. Heres what im seeing: 1. When trying to upload code from Arduino, i get this error message: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp 0X00 2. When…
"Thanks a lot, Chris!
I will let you know how it turns out"

Hi Folks, I am working in a university lab, for a PhD student, and we are currently using APM for charactering an non-standard airframe. The airframe we are working on experiences quite a considerable amount of Dutch Roll when exiting a bank. Here…
"If they are four 3.9k Ohm resistors, i believe they are used for the voltage monitor. I had them sitting aside for quite some time before i realized thats what they are for. If you look at the "voltage sensor" part of the APM manual, you will see…"
Hey folks,I understand that APM uses yaw in coordinated turns, when banking, but the airframe I am currently working on is not very stable in yaw. Comming out of a steep bank, the airplane Pivots back and forth before settling, about the yaw axis. I…
"Hi Tony,
This was the case for me as well, until I changed the "default altitude" and "waypoint altitude" in the mission planner.
Hopes this helps...

Hey all,I recently ordered the necessary parts for the APM. I have received most part, and am only waiting for the controller board from Sparkfun.I have been looking for videos of working/flying airplanes with APM, but have only found a couple.. I…
