"The APM does a bit LOT more than the KK. You're comparing a simple stabiliser with a full-on UAV system.
I've left the KK on my Tri and built a Quad using the APM. In the several months I've been flying the Quad, the APM…"

Hello,I received my ardustation about a week ago and have been excited to start using it as a pan tilt mechanism in my ground station. I've seen people using ardustation as antenna tracking mechanism…Continue

Flying Monkey replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"After some fiddling its as stable as a KK board?? Seriously? Oy, I'm not spending $200 on a board that requires work before being stable as a $15 board! "
alex corbett replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"Hi hadi, just picked up on this thread and was pleased to find your tri is as stable as with Kk. This is my route too. I have a apm2 and just can't seem to get a base setting to fly. I have hovered but extremely unstable. My tri is an…"
Hadi Alaee replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"Dave I connected all the motor (ESCs) to the board as it's explained in the website. First I had a problem with the motors that they were beeping loud with no arming whenever I connected them to battery, I had to reduce the throttle to minimum…"
Don Brooks replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"I'm in th middle of building a tri as well, but still a few pieces short of starting any tuning and testing. The servo does seem a little spastic when connected to apm.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought the switches were disabled in…"
Dave replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"To be honest, I don't recall which way it armed. I only flew (!) it three times but the servo issues made me revert to the KK until an answer could be found.
I haven't yet started on the Quad - the motors and ESCs are on their way…"
Hadi Alaee replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"Hi Dave,
I had a lot of problems with my tricopter and there is not much info as you said. Does your tricopter arm by keeping the rudder stick to right or left? Mine was arming to the left at first and reversing the say either in tx or MP…"
Dave replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Tricopter Yaw Problem"I have been through the same experience - a homebuilt tricopter that flies nicely with a KK board but behaves like a stuck pig with Arducopter.
My tail servo slams hard one way on power up and being mechanically limited with a big servo, I fear…"

I've been working on a tricopter using Arducopter after my successful journey using KK board. Unfortunately there isn't much information on building tricopter using arducopter but it makes it more challenging and interesting. Here is the picture of my tricopter My copter arms by keeping the rudder to the left and it doesn't change by…See More

"Be careful unsoldering the LCD, dont overheat the components.
Uploading the firmware is the easy part.
You use the arduino IDE available at www.arduino.cc
Im not sure if theres a usb connection on the ardustation, i dont think there is, so you need…"
Hadi Alaee replied to Hadi Alaee's discussion Ardustation Basics"Tnx Gareth for reply. I looked at the board carefully and figured that I could also add connectors for servos in the middle of board. I guess it's easier to de-solder the LCD put the missing xbee connector as well as servo connector and solder…"

"Heres a link to the source code: http://code.google.com/p/ardustation-ii/downloads/list
Im pretty sure they forgot to add that sil connector. You can either send it back :(
Or if you are fairly adept at soldering, using a fine tip iron, add the…"

Hello,I received my ardustation about a week ago and have been excited to start using it as a pan tilt mechanism in my ground station. I've seen people using ardustation as antenna tracking mechanism but can not find a full description as of how it works. I'm using a 2.4GHz Xbee on my arducopter to connect to Mission Planner but how can I have 2 xbee receiver to use in my computer as well as ardustation? Can I simply buy an extra xbee receiver and link it to my telemetry? Is there any where I…See More
Hadi Alaee replied to Andrew Pritchard's discussion KKmulticopter blackboard"Does the LED flash 10 times and turn off? If yes, it mean u r in the setup mode (reversing gyros). Try to put all the pots in the middle and try again. It should works.
Btw, are you aware of the arming process?"
