APM1.4 on an 80" Cub with Saito 56 4-stroke Questions
Started this discussion. Last reply by Robert 5 hours ago. 13 Replies 0 Likes
So, I've got this slightly used and abused APM1.4 that I want to try putting on an airplane because it won't fly a helicopter anymore. And I've got a 10 year old 80" Hangar 9 Cub ARF that I haven't…Continue
Ch.7 Auto Trim?

Is anybody using this function? How does it work? I've read what's in the wiki, and it's really not that helpful.#define CH7_OPTION CH7_AUTO_TRIMAllows you to hold trim the accelerometers of the…Continue

I want to find out if anybody is actually using this code to control their LED lighting? I am trying to work on a single, unified LED lighting program. I am thinking about deleting or completely…Continue

"As I said in the other thread:
- FrSky Tx Module
- FrSky Rx, either DR8SP or D4FR
- Use CPPM from either of these into the APM
Reaons:
- FrSky system has excellent noise rejection. It's probably more robust than the Spektrum system.

Robert replied to R_Lefebvre's discussion APM1.4 on an 80" Cub with Saito 56 4-stroke Questions"I am also interesing in doing something similar to this with a nitro plane. I plan to use the APM 2.0. board though. I would sure love to hook an autopilot up to the nitro plane. I also plan to use GO PRO HD camera with it. I was wondering. Can you…"

"When you say Pitch, do you mean collective pitch, or "elevator"?
You're in luck, as I'm just finishing up code to give APM full control over the throttle. It should be avalailable in a week or so."
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to malcolm churn's discussion ArduCopter Traditional Heli (was: "600-size heli")
"Wow, loiter, that's great. What are your settings/parameters?"
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to malcolm churn's discussion ArduCopter Traditional Heli (was: "600-size heli")
"Yeah, I set the pitch and roll to 2500 on my 600. What have you done with the collective? That should also be reduced. The range there is actually quite small. Something on the order of 1400 min to 1600 max.

"Ok, so first thing is you will need to set the swash type to H1 in Mission Planner.
Have you read the wiki?

It doesn't cover H1 setup, but it's not too hard. Put all…"

"We need a little more info. Does this heli have CCPM mixing or mechanical mixing?
If you are trying to pass through all the channels, such as have the throttle on 3, it's not going to work."
DeveloperR_Lefebvre commented on Mark Harrison's blog post Short clip of Memorial Day DIY Drones Fly-in
"Charlie, Ok, I see so it only took off once you throttled up a bit? Very strange, and scary. Is this with a 9X? What do the logs show? Any input registered at all? What made it come down?"

"So what's the conclusion Marco? Are your yaw problems gone?"
DeveloperR_Lefebvre replied to Brett Glossop's discussion Turnigy TGY 9x tx transmitter,owners beware!
"No, my point was that the bars should have been moving, and then you would see it's backwards. You may have solved your problem, but I think there's something deeper going on here...."

"Yeah, the board is a bit flaky today."

"Regards to Charlies video... how did it arm if it was at full throttle?
I gotta get me a quad. I can't believe that. If my heli fell like that, it would be completely destroyed. My last crash, it just tipped over on the…"

"Dang! But will it do that in all conditions with same settings?
Sometimes it seems like somebody gets it dialed in one day, but then it doesn't work the next."
