"For newcomer its important to learn flying first before putting any expensive payload on aircraft. Get hand of flying and you can decide which configuration can suit your requirements. Although APM can fly full autonomous mission for you, sometime…"

Hi,I am using 3DR Quad along with APM 2.5. Yesterday I have tried RTL mode. While quad came back to its Launch position, its heading does not change. I took it to different positions in stabilized…Continue

So far I have flown aircraft with autopilot, but there are always other people present who are doing differnt tasks. So onus was not entirely upon me to ensure that everything goes correctly. Pilot is there to fly the aircraft, one more guy to ensure that all connections are ok and aircraft is perfectly balanced etc..etc.. Mine job - to ensure that correct algorithm is loaded on aircraft, gains are tune depeding on previous flight performance, path planning is done propely, flight mode is set…See More

I was looking through AHRS_ORIENTATION Option. Currently I am using Arduplane 2.71 on PX4. I want to mount it at -90 degree roll angle. For that I have set AHRS_ORIENTATION to 19 (Roll 270). After rebooting it doesnt not work. Seems that…"

After make px4, just do make px4-upload, no you shouldn't have to compile px4fmu directly form firmware directory to run make px4 in ArduPlane folder(you just have to do make configure_px4fmu form firmware directory). Yes, for the IO, you have to compile px4IO separately(do make distclean and make confifure_px4io and then make) and upload it to in your sdcard(px4io.bin). Then use the arming switch to program it once.
