"Isn't this board enough for a full APM-lite autopilot? No airspeed sensor nor baro altitude, but still plenty (along with a separate GPS) to provide the standard APM functionality. I like the price, size, and weight over the MegaAPM. Of course,…"

"Jordi, Congratulations on the new location - looks very professional! You all deserved a location that was larger and cooler that the previous garage location. May you have great success!"

"I have asked our APM coders to consider adding Mr. Premerlani's code to the APM world when they get a chance (Issue #174). I made a guess at the required code based on the scaled fixed point code for the UavDEVBoard and Bill's Wind…"

"As far as not getting GPS lock on the initial powerup, I almost always have that happen and I have a UBLOX. I am simply used to it now and just accept that I have to reboot once."

"Paul, Does your SJ1 solder jumper #1 have a bead of solder on it? If yes, then the APM is powered from the ESC (via the throttle out servo connector). If not, then it isn't and another battery would be used to power the APM. Do you get get all…"

"I'm having a compile problem: C:\downloads\ArduPilot\ArduMega_v1\APM_Beta1.0\libraries\FastSerial\/FastSerial.h:53:20: error: Stream.h: No such file or…"

"Take a look at the code in control_modes.pde - routines read_control_switch and readSwitch should help you understand. You need to figure out what the pulse width settings you can generate with your transmitter - maybe the gear or flaps or aux…"

"I went to the Hoverfly website and found this video of an octocopter that is carrying a HiDef Canon video camera. Amazing! http://vimeo.com/9435221"

"Adam, The things that have to be set are the following:(I use three modes - MANUAL, FlyByWireA, AUTO) 1. you need to set up your transmitter so you get three different pulse widths on the control channel (you can use the radio_test program (or…"

"The URL for the waypoint writer is: http://ardupilot-mega.googlecode.com/svn/WaypointWriterMega/trunk You probably already use that. Dave"

"John, You must use the latest Waypoint_writer and use the Serial port monitor to see that the waypoints have loaded - they will printout. THEN, load the latest version of ArdupilotMega (757 at least), let it startup on the ground (connected to the…"

"Hey, I had a good AUTO flight today! (Aug 30) with version 757 - downloaded this morning (had to change a mention of groundspeed to ground_speed). I fly 10 waypoints. The flight went fine - there was one portion from waypoint 7 to waypoint 8 where…"

"John, I had a lot of waypoint following success with an older version (239 or so) but haven't had much luck for a few weeks. Please let me know if you actually fly to some waypoints now - I assume that you are using the version from Aug 26th or…"

"John, Why not make the first thing after takeoff a waypoint and not a loiter. Dave"

"@Brett, I will look closer at your printouts later - the B562 is correct. Are you at 9600 or at 38400 baud? In other words, is your configuration correct for ArduPilot Mega? Otherwise, I can say that I have waited for quite a while - make sure that…"

"One more fix - something is stripping the left and right brackets from the first include statement from the passthru.pde above which is #include "avr/io.h" (replace quotes with the brackets)"
