Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"There's surely nothing in the code or to do with APM that could make an ESC smoke?
Sounds like dud ESC's (chinese imports, hobbywing, turnigy?) coincidentally installed on the third arm."
brakar replied to Chris Barlow's discussion Aerial photography, trigger relay when waypoint reached."I am looking for- and have been asking about the same thing. I think I read somewhere this was possible in previous versions of APM, but is no longer supported. I can however not find the post anymore, and have not received any answers to my…"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"No worries, I remember a post somewhere on this so I'll take a look.
Generally though would prefer just to be able to assign a pin and drive 12v through the darlington IC, this simplifies everything as its then multi purpose (LED or horn,…"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Yes, the first way you described. I'd drive my 12v (indicator type) piezo siren from one of the outputs on the IC.
But to have this work we'd need to make it configurable in the mission planner.
eg this would make sense for my…"

Just want to throw this one in there for thought, would it be possible to add an option to trigger the relay when a waypoint is reached and the copter is flying level?In other words, i would like to trigger my camera to take a snapshot when it hits the desired 3d location, then move on? This would be so useful for aerial mapping etc and really simple to implement.I am rigging up a heavy lift with canon using chdk and could do so manually but it would be amazing to be able to program a desired…See More
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Yes, I don't know if you'll agree but i am just grateful for it to work properly.
No need to overcomplicate, on when armed, flashing faster when batt lower.
I use the lights for getting orientation and to allow for some dusk…"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Might be wrong but I think a reset is enough, mine was really playing up till i did this..."
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Great, will this use the IC relay mod previously posted here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/321-blink
If so can i feature request selectable flashing of one led on medium low or very low battery? I'd be looking to set the rear red…"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Yes same for me, looks like it knows where to point and locks onto that, but then that heading shifts and the quad rotates to match, then back again. Last time I saw that I had a bent frame, this is a new one and 2.4 worked fine.
Same for…"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"This was an amazing reply, thank you so much.
I'll try shortly and report back!"
Chris Barlow replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.5 released!"Guys thanks for all the hard work, got to set it up again but thats fine, looks like its worth it for the improvements!
I was lucky enough in 2.4 that i could just dial down stab_p to 3.5 and it was perfect (large quad, 860kv motors, 1.4KG, 75cm m…"
