I power my 2.6 board from both sides with 2 becs. the input side bec failed and sent 12 volts to the input.I have been using the APM boards for 2 years and thought I was being safe by powering with 5v becs.. I had no idea the bec could fail in such…
"Still working on my Penguin with this new 2.76.. anyone here having issues like I am? RTL and Loiter do figure eights instead of circling... I think it must be some setting I have wrong but I can't find it...
Any suggestions from anyone here would…"

"I just flew this 2.75 today and my Penguin is all messed up.. RTL used to be smooth, today it was hunting for the target altitude like mad.. it was set at 600.. it hunted wildly between 450 and 550, speeding up and down, in some crazy pattern.…"
For some reason, my default altitude keeps "defaulting" to 0 each time I restart MP...This did not happen before.. Can anyone comment or confirm this with their setup? I now have to remember to check that each time, and I already have 100's of…
"Yep that was it.. I didn't even think about that until I was looking very closely at the board through a scope.. then I saw "in" and Out and thought, oh crap, I did it backwards.. Sometimes I just make life hard on me.. haha.. thanks for all your…"
"okay I found the problem... hardware failure...
But does anyone know what the missing component is and whether I could replace it with a "std size" component that I could possibly solder in place?
any thoughts?
here is a datasheet for the this.. It…"

I want to power the input side of my APM 2.5 with 10A bec. I also want to use a 90A Attopilot to monitor current and voltage.I have it set up very similar to my APM 2.0 and have used the same pins as for APM 2.0, A1 A2 for the voltage…

"Simple question, but I cannot find answer here.
I want to use the AttoPilot 90A/50V Voltage/Current Sensor for the APM 2.5 and power it the same way I do the APM 2.0.
Do I use the same connections as I do for the APM 2.0? that is A1 and A2 for the…"

"I guess assuming it is a 12v lipo, I would want to know if you are powering APM with it too, if so, some ground loops start cropping up in my opinion."
"What is powering APM? second battery? "
Just had a horrific nose dive with my skywalker.. lots of damage, etc.. and I am trying to ascertain whether my APM2 is working. It seems to be , it connects, telemetry works, stabalize works, etc but MP says No GPS..I get no gps as well. however…
"bump .. I am also concerned about the % signal that is acceptable.. ( without actually trying it) ..."
I am hoping to use this GPS as an external for my APM2. I know how to disable the onboard GPS,but in looking at the pins, the APM2 has a 6 pin connector and my new GPS module has only 4.Will it work? If so, how to I wire it up? Thanks for any…
"Thanks for posting this. I am hoping to move to the Penguin over this winter time and will try your param file when I get there.
I am having serious problems with my SW as I just cannot get the APM2 to function properly with it. I had the APM in a…"

"@Sandro, another question about powering my minimosd.
with the solder jumpers in place tying the two sides together , can I just use the rx from the APM and power the osd from a BEC that also powers my camera and my vtx? In other words I would not…"
