Had lots of fun with this one. It was one of the controllers I used to make this video:

anyone have an OpenPilot and APM2
the openpilot board I have is very smooth and wobble free once the PIDs were tuned. My APM2, OTOH is giving me more of a challenge. I just cannot get rid of the bounce without the controls feeling like mush. I was wondering if anyone with both board

I took my APM2/Y6 out for its maiden today. At first, it seemed ok, a little wobbly, but this is only with a few PID iterations. Something just doesn't feel right though. After some forward flight in stabilize mode, if I return the elevator to neutra

My hexa is flying pretty smoothly, but it has a minor twitch even in a slight breeze. I want to set it up for video, so I'm more concerned with smooth rather than acro type movements.
Ideally I would like the heli to slowly correct itself if it is dis
GPS waypoints working! But altitude is way off
naturally was pretty cool to see my arduhexa run a simple flight plan. i used 40 ft for my home and waypoint altitudes, but the heli easily hit 100 ft. quite disconcerting, as it gets small pretty fast.
in all GPS modes, loiter, rth and auto, the he

Not sure if this has been addressed yet, but If the RTH and/or position hold or any other auto mode is active when you arm the system, immediately after arming, the copter will attempt to fly away. In my case, it was directly at me and unfortunately
Read more…Do the sensors need to calibrate while powering up?
I'm used to letting the gyro on my conventional RC heli initialize free from any motion until it is ready. I have been doing this out of habit for my quad, but I never recalled reading that this was necessary for the arducopter boards.

If you only allow the GPS coords to be assigned to long, lat variables in GPS hold mode only one time when the switch is flipped, it could be used as a Return To Home command, couldn't it?
I think this is the associated code:

if (gps.fix){ // We

Tried the GPS hold in my quad today, and it looks to be working. It will hover within about a 10-15 ft space horizontally and about 6-8 ft vertically.
Will the ublox module provide better accuracy or is a matter of the rate at which the APM is samplin
Which board did I damage?
Arducopter was flying fine for about 10 flights over the last 4 days. Today, hovering about 4 ft off the ground the heli did a flip (for no reason, it was in stable mode) and landed upside down. After repowering, 2 ESCs were sounding error codes (rap
