Cruise speed
Hi,I want to adjust cruise speed.At default settings I have a ground speed of about 42km/h (without airspeed sensor), and I think the optimal speed should be lower. In the mission planner I have value "Cruise speed", default 12m/s. I updated it to 9.5, but don't see any change in actual cruise speed.How to set cruise speed?Are these different settings with RTL speed? For RTL I prefer keep it as is - less efficient, but more reliable.Is it possible to adjust cruise speed during flight, providing…

Thanks so much. :)
Ok. So you must have a external compass. To mount the flight board on any side you can change AHRS_ORIENTATION parameter.

I have 2.6. Thanks
WallyJas,
Which APM version you have? 2.5 or 2.6?
Guys,
I'd like to mount my flight control board sideways and have my uBlox facing forwards. How do I achieve this please?
Thanks in advance. :)
Thanks iskess and Marcin
I was over thinking it. I thought for sure I would have to set something. Ha! Four more wires gone. Thanks again.
You don't have to switch, with default config I'm connecting radio to UART0 and it works fine.
Hi,
Got a question on the APM 2.5. I would like to use the UART0 pins on the side of the board to connect the 3DR radio. I'm making a PCB to plug the entire board, Rx, OSD and Vtx into to eliminate most of the rats nest in the plane and I would like to not use the stock wire and plug for the radio. Can the radio be switched to the pins on the side? Thanks
hye there!just to be sure. is it normal when the board connected by usb the, the alive will light.and when connected the C and A will blink.am i right?and one thing if let say i upload the arduplane firmware,can i also upload arducopter firmware to the board?or i need to remove it the arduplane.if yes, how to remove it?
thanks!
