Hi Everyone:   I was writing a C code to read telemetry data from the arducopter. The below is my code.   It is receiving data from the arducopter, because the line "printf("%02x ", (unsigned char)temp);" does print some hex data and the data is the…

Hi everyone:    We know we can send WP command to the arducopter in real time. I wonder if I can send velocity command to it?   For example, we send the command "move to the right at 1m/s (vx=1m/s)" or "move forward at 0.5m/s (vy=0.5m/s)".  (Maybe…

Hi All:   For example, I want to swap the output of ch4 and ch7 so that I can use ch7 as ch4 and leave ch4 unused currently. Is that possible?   Thank you in advance Yucong

I found one of my motors is always beeping ( the one connected to ch4 output, I did ESC and radio input calibration).Then I measure the voltage of ch4 and chs 1,2,3 with transmitter off.I found the voltage of ch4 is 1.7 volt lower than ch1,2,3. Is…
