About Me:
Desperate to give uavs a go but worried I havnt got the time.(wife and kids) I've been flying for 20 years all sorts of craft. Currently on fpv.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Got a 90 size gasser that I would love to turn into a uav project. Would love to be able to reach a level where waypoint navigation from my laptop is reliable.

"Can anyone tell me, if when connected to mission planner by usb and with 8 sat count and hdop of 1.3 should the icon of the quad in MP be stationary as if it were loitering. My icon wanders around by 30m odd and my loiter is rubbish also. Ive done…"
"Hi there,
Does anyone know when you are plugged into MP and you have a gps fix should the quad icon on the flight plan view stay still ie is this representative of the actual position the quad would be trying to achieve if in loiter. My icon seems…"

"Hello All, does anyone know if it is necessary to update the ppm encoder. Ive got an old apm2 that i am using ppm frsky without any issues, am i likely to run into any problems if I dont get the latest firmware? "
"I succesfully did it using isaac's method kept pressing download several times before it took. Cheers for taking the time to document everyone. Thanks Alex"
"Is anyone using a stock APM2 with original GPS with this latest release? If so how accurate should I be able to get loiter to be?"
"Oh and this in GCS_Mavlink.

"Does anyone know how to alter the radio input code so I can switch channel 1 for channel 2 as im using a jr tx with ppm.
Im updating from 2.9.0 to 3.0.1. With 2.9.0 I altered the code in the radio.pde as Randy (see below) suggested to switch channel…"

"Hi Søren, the gimbal has the undercarriage attached to it so the legs don't get in the shot when it is panned around. When it is on the floor the apm keeps the gimbal flat which is great but say you came to land, when the motors stop keeping the…"
"Hi Randy,
Im updating from 2.9.0 to 3.0.1. With 2.9.0 I altered the code in the radio.pde as you suggested to switch channel 1 and 2 around for use with jr tx with frsky ppm. This worked fine in 2.9 but doesnt seem to work in 3. I assume its…"

"Hi Randy,
I'm still on 2.9.1 at the moment. I'm using a jr tx with frsky rx in ppm mode. If i upgrade to 3.0.1 is there a way of selecting rc channel inputs or will it have to be altered in the code as per 2.9.1.
Cheers
Alex"

Hello all,I've been developing a locking gimbal system for a few months now and I'm in desperate need of some software to make my gimbal work fully.The basic idea for the gimbal is for a second person to be able to control the camera pan and tilt…
"Hi Randy, latest software looks great, cant wait to give it a go. I spoke to you over the issue with jr ppm channel setting. Ive checked the github and i dont think the code has been written to accommodate this fix yet (hopefully Im wrong). Can i…"
"Thanks to everyone who helped with this issue. I managed to sort it with Randy's short term method of altering the code.
As there was an air of uncertainty with regards to changing channel 3 (throttle references to different flight modes) I decided…"
