4 3 wire esc cables direct plugging to motor output ports of APM
Normal instruction is to plug one of the four esc's red and black wire to the motor output port for right motor.If I don't have a power distribution board, can I plug NOT just the white signal wire but the entire three wire (white, red, and black) fo

If for some reason radio transmission is disrupted and never re-established, what is the impact on the arducopter (arducopter not in GPS nor Altitude hold running either on arducopterNG or the ardupiratesNG code) ... I mean will the copter drops from

Just a thought ... the APM/IMU provides i2c capable ports right? Anybody knows if the Lego NXT mindstorms ultrasonic sensor is I2C and if it is can I use it (instead of buying a maxsonar unit) to take advantage of the low altitude hold feature of the

Hi!
I have a 2.4GHz wireless video cam from draganflyer IV I used to fly before and I'd like to use it on my arducopter. The arducopter communicates via a Turnigy 2.4GHz TX/RX.
Question: What are the pros and cons for using both equipment on the ardu

Hi!
The power distribution board had one of the 4 esc point of attachment soldered with a two wire connector to provide current to the APM.
I need 5v for a video camera I'd like to attach to the arducopter.
Question: Can I attach 3 more 2 wire connecto

Calibration every code upload?
Hi!
'Just wondering ... does the APM store calibration data separate from the code. I mean if I upload ardupirtaeNG, do the calibration via CLI, then thought of tinkering with a line or two so modified the code in arduino and then uploaded the update

Hi!
I'm worried if I accidentally rapidly increase throttle that my copter will fall from the sky. There's a procedure given for the arducopterNG but have not seen one for ardupirateNG.
Opening the ardupirateNG in arduino and clicking on the Arducopt

Hi!
I'm trying to change my loaded code from arducopterNG TO ardupirateNG.
In the arducopterNG, there is a need to put in declination to compensate for magnetic behavior experienced at local copter location.
// Declination is a correction factor betw

Anybody knows the advantage/disadvantage of using the mtek 1.4 (AXN_1.30,2278 [I aasume to be 1.4 issued in September]) version of the firmware compared to the 1.6 (AXN_1.30,2389 [January (1.6)])?
I have a version 1.4 GPS but looks like software devel

I dismantled my arducopter being concern about the noise problem indicated by Jordi. Tried looking for the "204" or the "0" resistor. Didn't find any or had difficulty looking for the "0". Definitely there's no "204" in my magneto board ... Does this

Hi! Just wondering ... what's the biggest outrunner motor the arducopter community has used? Obviously it does not involve the arducopter kit, so any sharing of associated components used *e.g., battery, frame, esc, ... anything to get a sense of how

Hi!
I tried to calibrate my esc using the letter e option on the CLI. Everything got connected ok with arduino communicating well with the board through usb cable. So I type in e and send/enter and the instruction says if the lipo is connected, discon
