This has happened to me twice now, with two seperate GPS modules - first time a year or two ago, on the bench.2nd time just recently in the air! Noticed a loss of GPS, dropped out for about 10seconds - first time I have ever lost GPS mid-air in…
"James: Arcola are the UK representatives for Horizon. The 200W fuel cell alone weighs about 600g. They are commercially available but they aren't cheap!

So I ran AUTOTUNE on my new quad (6s 400kv motors, 15" props), ended up with the following values, which when I view in mission planner it flags STB_RLL_P, STB_PIT_P, RATE_RLL_P and RATE_PIT_P as being out of range, which you can see below they…
"I think I can do this using DO_SET_ROI... will give it a go today."
Say I'm trying to fly a box pattern in AUTO mode: is it possible to do this while keeping the heading constant (for example always pointing north), rather than a yawing to point at the next WP?Cheers!Shane.
Is it possible to select all waypoints and drag and drop them somewhere else. Or select all and rotate by X degrees...Say I wanted to move my entire mission 500m along the field, or rotate a previously planned mission to suit the wind direction on…
"In ALT_HOLD, LOITER and RTL the props keep spinning on touchdown but at a much reduced yet constant rate. I then reduce the throttle to zero and switch to STABILIZE and they then stop, this behavior I experience and have come to expect. Taking off…"
"Question 1:
Yes - gimbal control is standard and works very well on Ardupilot. You might find you only need a single axis (roll) gimbal. Pitch angle may be relatively minor when you are at your cruise altitude, this may save you some space and…"

"What's wrong with extra images during the upwind legs? The more overlap the better for mapping and photogrammetry I have found."
"Are your motors level? Is there much twist in the arms of the quad? How big is the quad? How heavy is the frame?
I had this problem with my mk2 quad frame. I never solved it, it got destroyed in a crash before I had the chance, but those were the…"

"Right - I have answered my own problem. Yes it does work. You need a WAYPOINT after the DO_REPEAT_SERVO command.
You can also turn it off too, another DO_REPEAT_SERVO command with 0 and 0 for Repeat and Delay.
For example, the following mission…"

Does the DO_REPEAT_SERVO command work on Arduplane 2.74 - I am failing to get it to.I have seen various (inconclusive) threads on here relating to it, but either for older firmware or Arducopter.I have had success triggering with DO_SET_SERVO, but…
"@Lorenz: Thanks - that is what I hoped it meant, fantastic!"

"Hi Chris Austin - it wasn't meant to be, it is unfortunate you read it that way, sorry.
Please could you post a tlog and/or log/plan/param file from one of your missions where it worked well for you. All I want to do is get to the bottom of this…"

Has anyone ever looked into how accurately Ardupilot (plane specifically) follows an autopilot mission plan? What were you results/conclusions?
