We are trying to get a Hexacopter (Tarot X6 frame) with a Pixhawk Cube Orange+, Arducopter v4.5.1, Castle Creations DMR 30/40 ESCs and Tarot 5008 KV:340 motors, 18in CF props, in flight condition. The only thing that is non-standard, is we have a 2…
I recently switched laptops and now have Windows 10. I installed Mission Planner on my laptop and plugged a mRo SiK Telemetry Radio into the USB port. The radio is not recognized on the com ports but is instead on the "Other Devices" tab in Device…

"I'm not 100% positive on this but I would imagine its the same as with a regular controller.

This has the procedure and a video of the process."

Hello,In previous versions of Mission Planner the hexa plus configuration was available in the wizard. That option is no longer available so when I updated and re-calibrated my sensors it set my firmware to X configuration.I have tried to change it…
"Thank you for the reply.
I have been following this procedure to load libraries into my IDE. I've tried many different versions of the IDE also. They came out with a new version of the library yesterday and it didn't work either. Yet my labmate, she…"

"An update and a bump I have found a few people that can compile this code but every computer I try to do this on it will not work. I have done just about everything imaginable to clean up my computer to get rid of anything that might be interfering…"
I am working on a project where I use an arduino uno in the loop with a rc receiver feeding information into it, then the uno is sending information into an APM 2.5 autopilot to control a drone.The first approach i was using involved code that used…
"never mind I got help from another forum it's working now"
I am trying out a project that I found on this sitehttp://www.flitetest.com/articles/quadcopter-obstacle-avoidance-system-using-arduinoand according to the comments some people have been able to get this to work on an apm board. I am trying to…
"Thank you for the input so it looks like I might be keeping the prop size down to a 14. I still want an aggressive pitch and strong motor so would you think a 14x8 and the same motor combination would work with my set up? "
"ah thank you for you advice"
Hello here is the list I have comprised from some advice and research I have done so far and I would like to see what other input I could get from people on what I have so far plus what I may be lacking (I know I need a distribution board so if you…
"Thank you for the input guys, I have another question. For the motors do you think it is preferable to go with say 4 larger motors or 8 regular sized motors in a x formation over under. Do either of these configurations seem to fair better against…"
I do research with drones and have worked with them for over a year now. I have worked with a mikrokopter (hexa) and a arducopter (hexa) both owned by the university. I would like to build my own and I'm looking for suggestions from people used to…
