Telemetry stream rates

Hi all,

 

I understand that since the release of Arduplane 2.33, one may:

"ask for any stream rate that is a multiple of 20ms"

 

Does that mean that I may request all the telemetry data(attitudes, raw sensor, PWN in and PWM out, airspeed etc) to be stream

APM2 onboard GPS

Hi all,

 

Am i right to say that the GPS on the pre-soldered daughterboard with GPS cannot be disabled?


I have looked through the codes in brief.. it seems like there are no codes that provides detection of GPS in the event that an external GPS is conne

Can loiter speed be tuned?

Hi all,

 

Just a simple question.

Can loiter speed be tuned? (Assuming that the loiter radius is large enough for the maenuveur to be made)

Does it take reference from airspeed and cruise throttle settings?

 

Thanks!

Downloading HIL Simulator for Arduplane

Hi all,

 

May I know where I can obtain the HIL Simulator source code other than downloading directly from Mission Planner? Would like to make some additions to the code before uploading to APM. Tried to look for it in the git branches but I couldnt fi

Arduplane 2.27 from git master branch

Hi all,

 

I've faced a couple of issues with Arduplane 2.27, hope to find some answers here.

 

Uploading Arduplane 2.27 from Mission Planner works perfectly for me.

 

But, uploading Arduplane 2.27 from Arduino IDE does not work (APM does not initialize aft

Sideslip correction and Servo yaw PIDs

Hi all,

 

Recently I've switched over from flying a Bixler to a Skywalker.

The skywalker param file available is entirely not suitable for my skywalker plane(think its because of the large differnce in servo throws). Tuning was a bitch.

 

Also, it is obvi

Weird logging behavior

Hi all,

 

I have been experiencing some weird logging behavior by APM. Im running APM 2.26, and im using the default flight logging settings.

 

After every flight, APM somehow auto reverts its logging settings to the following:
logs enabled: GPS PM CTUN N

Minimum loiter radius

Hi all,

 

Was testing APM again today.

Needed my plane to loiter with a radius as small as possible.

Set it to loiter at 10m height and 10m radius in Mission Planner.

 

Managed to loiter at 10m altitude, but the loiter radius was observably larger than 10m

Camera Mount Servo

Hi

 

I am trying to get my camera mount to point in a certain GPS coordinates using the DO_MOUNT_CONFIGURE and DO_MOUNT_CONTROL in the flight planner. May l know how do I set which my camera servo is connected to for the MOUNT mavlink command.

Just like

Ardupilot Mega Programming

Hi

I'm new to Adrupilot programming. I would like to ask if there is any site that provide the syntax as to how to program. For example, from the .h waypoint file generated by MIssion Planner, is it possible to use a control loop (while, for) or decis

GPS/baro altitude accuracy

Hi folks,Had a few flights with APM recently, results werent good because there was a tendency for the plane to constantly lose altitude.I suspect that the problem might lie with the pressure sensor. I did a few tests with the baro sensor. While stat

Pressure sensor heading direction

A couple of queries.. hope someone can help :)

 

Im not sure if my IMU is faulty, but sometimes when I power up/reset the IMU board, the orientation that is obtained is SOMETIMES reversed.

(ie. in APM Flight Data window, the nose of the plane is pointin
