xbee loop speed?
Im running an xbee telemetry link at 5600 baud, but I recently noticed that when I connect to it, my copter seems to be a little bit less stable. Is this normal? Should I try reducing the baud to fix it? I really dont care about virtual horizon, only
Read more…A solution to weird gyro drifting and stuff
So I have been buying APM boards quite a bit because it seemed every one I got had some sort of weird gyro drift. Tonight I discovered the reason behind this is my xbee module. Mounting it to close to the APM causes weird interference it seems making
Read more…ArduIMU blue LED in the corner
I assume if the blue LED in the corner of the ArduIMU goes on very briefly then dims when power is connected that the IMU is dead beyond repair correct? Is there something I could check? I have inspected all solder points closely and nothing is bridg

Alright so I had just put my new APC 13x6.5's on and went for a flight, it started wobbling a bit when suddenly the APM rebooted, half the motors got full power and it leapt up into the air about 5 feet, flipped, and dove into the ground. the only wa

Hey all, I am in need of a current sensor that can handle 240 amp's minimum, anyone seen anything like this?
Read more…Arming motors results in pitch drift 2.0.40
Hi everyone, for some reason when I arm my motors in .40 the pitch gyro slowly pitches forward, if my motors are not armed its fine. Also .40 doesent take into account my sonar in alt-hold or any sonar using mode. Simple mode makes both my pitch and

I was just wondering if there was anything special I need to do to get this sonar working with the APM code, right now its only showing 20cm. Also the pin its attached to might be broken because if I give it anything voltage wise it doesent change va
Read more…Sonar holding at 20cm
Hello, for some reason my sonar sensor wont give any value other than 20cm. It is working as I have tested it on a standard arduino, any idea on how to get it to play nice with the APM?
Read more…Working perfectly except for 1 problem
Hello all, just finished my arducopter and its working so incredibly well, I am blown away. However for some reason while flying in simple mode (with the compass) left/right works but front/back are reversed. How would I go about fixing this?
Read more…X and + mixed up?
Hello, I finished my arducopter kit and configured it to be in the + configuration. However It will not fly right without being set up as a X quadrocopter. Anyone having this problem?
