nicolas B replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.1 released!
"Hi,

Did anybody test AC 3.1 on an APM 1.0 board ? (a b 2560). With AC 3.1, my sonar doesn't show any value in the test section, while still working well with previous firmware versions... Am I the only one in that case ?

Thanks."

"Yes, that would be a good improvement!
But I don't know where to find a light/small/plastic version of such type of wheels ?"

"You can build them yourself ? You can have the parts cut at a laser shop using the blueprints given here (I used 2mm acetal sheets). I guess that the rest (RC car shock absorbers, RC plane foam wheels, 3mm nuts & bolts) could be found at any decent…"

Hello, Our first version of the arducopter has evolved and "MUGEN Mk II" now has some quite robust (although heavy) landing gear! I've set up some pages to share some details about both versions: here for the first version, and here for MUGEN Mk…

"Today, I could make my quad fly and I did try "stable", "loiter" and "simple" modes with the lastest stable firmware (2.1.0 Alpha) and everything went fine!"

nicolas B commented on Jean-Louis Naudin's blog post ArduCopter in action: Testing the QuadCopter (HIL mode) on X-Plane v9
"Great work! Thanks, Jean-Louis!

Would it be hard to have the current official/stable firmware (2.1.0 Alpha at the moment as shown on the APM planner) ready set for XPlane in HIL mode ?"

nicolas B replied to Ruwan's discussion First Time Setup : RC & Beeps
"Hello Japi,
1) Yes, this is the normal procedure.
2) You should rewire your RC Receiver to APM connections and make sure you receive the right information on the right channel. For example, throttle signal should be received on channel 3.
All the…"
