I want to add some external LEDs to my APM 2.0 to show the arm and GPS lock status.How would I do this?
When I run Mission Planner to review data logs, I open a file or several files but forget what file I am looking at. The problem is bigger if you have several logs open at the same time for comparison. When you switch windows there is nothing to…
"Sorry, this is an APM 2.0, Quad-c with external LEA6 GPS."
I was doing a few short flights to check acceleration values (az). During this flight the GPS data didn't start until half way through the flight. The second flight the data started at the beginning like it always does.Any idea what can cause…
"I have seen this satellite issue with several receivers. The first time I saw it, I assumed that the receiver was bad, but saw the same issue with multiple receivers. Here is what I observed and my assumptions.

"Thanks, I reposted it in the the discussions. Can I remove it from the blogs?"

I have been trying to build ArduPlane STIL in windows and can't seem to get the ArduPlane to build.I get the following errors in the cygwin terminal.First I changed the directory...Bill@BillHomeVistaPC~$ cd c:/ArduPlane-2.50/ArduPlane Then I told it…
"I modified the battery box to take a LIPO battery vertically in front of the AdruPilot. Then I cut down the top of the battery box so I could place the ArduPilot flat on top and attached it with velcro. I had to cut a small relief in front of the…"
"Thanks, I'll try that. I found that my "home" spot is on a road that doesn't exist in Google Earth, so it did take off and land at the right GPS location and is on a dirt road. Also my take-off and landing altitude was fixed by setting the plane on…"
I just got my ArduPilot and put it into a Super Cub. I was running default parameters as a first test. I plotted the flight path in Google earth and did some analysis of the results. I have attached the log file as well. Based on this flight, I need…
