Hi
I have a ACM with a Mega 1.4 (1280) controller + oilpan, with GPS, Sonar, Magnetometer HMC5883 and a unused Mega 1.4 (2560) controller and 1 spare sonar for sale as a package. Offers around £200.00 the lot. Prefer to sell in UK, can demonstrate.

I use a Canon Ixus 130 for HD Video on my Tricopter. Without any anti vibration measures the Video is a blurry mess, I've had to build a fairly elaborate camera mount to get rid of the vibration. The Antishake facility on the camera makes no diffe

I'm still using NG and looking forward to changing to ACM 2 when it's more debugged.
ACM 2 has various flight modes including stable and position hold like NG, and I see some people are working on a FBW system. I was wondering if it may be possi

I've just got the latest Arducopter electronics hardware APM 1.4, sensor board, magnetometer and Mediatek GPS. After a little effort I uploaded the ArduPiratesNG software okay.
My problem is with the Configuator tool, I've tried VER.2.1 and 2.
