    I'm already anticipating my first quadcopter crash. I saw someone wanting to sell their Arduflyer 2.5 & ublox GPS for a reasonable price and can't find the note anywhere.

    Help?!

    Forum search,  http://www.diydrones.com/forum# looking for "hexacopter", no results.  Something is rotten in Denmark.

  • Greg Jordan June 27, 2013 at 6:10am

    search is not working for me either. A simple search on the word "firmware" yields 'no results'.

    What is the difference between:

    1)"Arducopter 3DR Hexa B + Optional Electronics kit" from 3DR

    2)"ArduCopter 3DR Hexa C - Ready-to-Fly*" from udrones.com

    I realize this is essentially the same company - but am wondering if the assembly is the only difference between these two items...

    Anyone else getting "no results" when using the Search function on the discussion forum?

    Sounds great Stephen. Thank you.

    Wayne - you can find the pre-built hexes at http://firmware.diydrones.com/  You will want the "daily builds" of the appropriate branch (copter, plane, etc)

    Note that these builds are compiled and uploaded daily based on the current Git repository so you will have to make sure that use are using the latest codebase when compiling.

    OK, that sounds better. Can I download the standard firmware file from somewhere to compare with the one I compiled to ensure they match?

  • Stephen Dade June 22, 2013 at 9:28pm

    Wayne - The warnings are expected (and normal) with the APM code. The output file is expected to be put in a temp file - that's how the makefile is programmed.

    If you're using the Arduino environment, simply select the mega2560 board and correct com port, then press "verify" and then press "upload". Arduino will take care of the details.

    The makefile is only used directly if you're using Linux or Cygwin (on Windows).

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. 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…
