  • @Dean and Marooned.

    I completely disagree!

    I suspect there is something you are not telling us.

    All this secrecy....

    ;-)

  • Dean, I generally agree.

    Latest jDrones frame param files will be there too shortly but as we both are developers for ArduCopter we all try to keep them as close as possible to each others of out frames. On jD-Simplex frames you can use 3DR params as they are really similar of their weight and flying characteristics. 

  • Ok, thanks Alan.

  • 3D Robotics

    Randy we should have it out sometime this week.

  • Good evening,

    I don't see a 2.8.1 parameter file for the 3DR ArduCopter Quad-C in the download section. Is it available?

    Thank you

    @Altaf re how to use user_hooks,

        I've never personally used it but it looks like you should put your code into UserCode.pde and UserVariables.h.  I guess it depends very much on what you want but the userhook_50Hz function in UserCode.pde will be called at 50hz.  Just make sure it all completes within 5ms to ensure that you don't interfere with the main loop which runs at 100hz.

  • Hi!! how do we use the user_hook fast loop for the arducopter ?? 

  • So has anybody managed to get the APM 2.5 working with Turnigy Trust esc's or do I need to return to the APM 1 ?

Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

Will AHRS_ORIENTATION=8 for Arducopter 3.2.1 on APM 2.5 using a traditional Heli

I have been Reading Chris Olsen posts and watching his videos on Arducopter with traditional Helis using a Pixhawk.I have inherited an older Trex 450 heli with the old Align 3G FBL hardware.  The FBL controller appears to be bad.  So I have an old APM 2.5 without a compass or GPS on board.  I just want to replace the failed Align 3G FBL system with the APM.Now I have to mount the APM under the skids on the heli so the APM will be upside down.I have Two questions.1)  Is the AHRS_ORIENTATION=8…
