Hi!
In Mission Planner, one can load do "Tlog > kml or Graph", then if you go to "Graph Log", there will be a bunch of variables to choose from after selecting a particular Tlog. If I chose roll, then the Mavlink Log Graph will update with the relevan

If I solder in all four supplied resistors, will it not affect the voltage reading of the APM?
Thanks for any insights :)

I've been having a back and forth with Michael Oborne on why v1.0.20 of the mission planner works but v1.0.48 does not ()http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/v20-works-but-v48-does-not!
No luck so far on resolving it. I am making a post here just in

One of the possible reasons indicated for the error is the copter trying to get gp

I'm trying to add/change a portion of the 2.38 code so downloaded the 2.38 and opened it in arduino 0022. Before making any changes, I just loaded the arducoptermega.pde code and have arduino compiled it as is. A lot of error codes showed up in t

I've gone over the forum looking for a summary of aluminum arm length (i.e., motor to motor length) folks using the 880kv motors are having but can't seem to find one.
Will appreciate any sharing on the 880kv motor to motor length of the ardu fra
