"Terry,
The time that the winch servo use to invert rotation is very small, when we are conducting  our model that 360 rotation is almost negligible, a majority of times its unnoticed in the video feed.
Check the video…"

"ideally, the AT should maintain the direction (what it does now, but have to improve the solution implemented).
BUT if the video is fuzzy, you are in the limits of the video link then you should do a quick 180degrees turn and return to home…"

Hello to all, I used a part of the Ardupilot legacy software plus code from Melih Karakelle and from Dennis Frie and "build" around an Open DIY Antenna Tracker - OpenDiyAT.It needs only sentences from a gps receiver unit (gprmc and gpgga) and it…

"Didier,
Do you see some "jittery" from the servos when using DragonLink and Stabilize mode (or FBW, RTL)?
Or Are the servos stable and calm when in normal, stabilize and/or FBW/RTL using the DL and Arduplane/APM?"

jalves replied to David B's discussion Signal 4 short to VCC in ArduPilot (legacy) User Group
"David,
I measured the voltage in the CH4 IN pins ( a soldered board ready to 2.7.1 with rudder control) and got GND/5V/0V .
in the CH4 OUT pins measured  GND/5V/0.34V when not connected to the servo.
You must have a short somewhere."

What are you trying to do with the Ap?"

I did some more flight tests and had mixed results.Bear in mind that I only have interest in the stabilize mode and RTL mode (FPV in mind with a streamed easy glider treated to fly with the minimum of loss which means all the electronics inside…

"Found the problem with the differences in the elevator, the trim in the radio.

Bottom line, the model has to be flying straight as we want it to do without changing the trims in the radio.

Doing the model setup in the old fashion, all mechanic."

"Did a short flight test, two things arose:
1. from normal to stabilize, the elevator change the equivalent of two or three clicks down
2. the control in stabilize mode felt a little spongelike, almost as if it have expo dial in

In stabilize:
1. the…"

Hello all,Developers of this combined project, Thanks!Ugly and dirty, the system is ready to roll tomorrow, the bench tests all went well, although I think that the elevator amplitude (gain) isn't enough when in stabilize, which probably will happen…

Hello all.1st of all, Thanks to all the people that participate and improve the Ardupilot project.I have tried all the code posted since 2.0 and in all the versions I try, I found that when in mode MANUAL the servos movement are fluid and continuous…

Hello all,I receive my ArduIMU today and it worked well when I connect it to a my pc using a  sparkfun ftdi interface through a usb port and HAppyKillMore software.I obtain a slow rotating cube and each time I select a serial terminal, I can saw the…
