"Michael, I'm still having trouble with this. I want to map joystick X&Y to RC_6&7. I tried calibrating in windows, but I just can't get the joystick to map to these channels. Thoughts? "

I'm having some trouble- perhaps I'm doing something wrong?I'm trying to control a camera gimbal I made with RC channels 6 and 7 out, using a USB joystick. I'm having some trouble with the joystick…Continue

I'm having a problem with my APM 1.4 boards. Starting yesterday, the altitude jumps up and down +/- 15 feet. The raw pressure jumps +/- 2. All three of my 1.4 boards are doing it, but the altitude…Continue

I used to fly UAV's in the army, and there were a couple of features in the GCS for the camera that I found really useful. I was wondering how hard it would be to implement. Point at Coordinates…Continue

I can't get the firmware to load on my board. I've never used the Arduino compiler before, but I followed the directions to a 't'. This is the message I get when I hit upload: Error…Continue

Devin Jensen replied to Stephen Rayleigh's discussion Joystick Gimbal Control"It seems that the joystick mapping to all flight controls works very well, however things start to get strange when the joystick is mapped to the auxiliary inputs. The mapping appears to work until a connection with the board is established,…"

I'm having some trouble- perhaps I'm doing something wrong?I'm trying to control a camera gimbal I made with RC channels 6 and 7 out, using a USB joystick. I'm having some trouble with the joystick configuration. I got one axis to work by mapping the joystick X axis to channel 6, then changing RC_6_Function to 1. That servo moves fine. After that, the software won't let me map any more joystick axes, on any channel. See More

I'm having a problem with my APM 1.4 boards. Starting yesterday, the altitude jumps up and down +/- 15 feet. The raw pressure jumps +/- 2. All three of my 1.4 boards are doing it, but the altitude on my 2.0 board is steady as a rock. See attachment for alt. strip chart.See More

Stephen Rayleigh commented on Stephen Rayleigh's blog post UAS Competition Team"After more testing, I'm seeing that it pitches down initially, then evens out.
When will the next rev come out? We could really use that feature for the competition in June.

Zachary Eldridge commented on Stephen Rayleigh's blog post UAS Competition Team"I notice Embry-Riddle best school in the world. I went to Daytona Beach campus."

"How much does the aircraft pitch down? Is it just that it tends to descend, or more than that?
The camera code you mention is coming in the next rev. "

Hi, I'm starting a team at Embry-Riddle in Arizona to go to the UAS competition in Maryland this year. We're using APM on a custom built airframe, but we're still learning the ins and outs of Ardupilot and Mission Planner. I've got a few questions:We're tuning the PID's, and the aircraft pitches down in stabilize and FBW A&B. Should I fix this with RC trim, one of the gains, or initialize the aircraft in a slightly pitch-up attitude?We're building a pan/tilt gimbal, and I'm wondering- if…See More
Stephen Rayleigh replied to Luis Ramos's discussion XBee Pro 900 XSC Wire Configuration"I tried XSC's a long time ago and they didn't work. It was explained to me that the throughput is too small on the XSC for ardupilot. I bought the Pro-900 and it's worked ever since. "
Stephen Rayleigh replied to Stephen Rayleigh's discussion Point at Coordinates"As I understand it, the software already has a "Camera Point Here" function, with a three-axis camera gimbal setup. As far as single pilot ops, you would select guided mode over the stare point, then operate the…"
ModeratorGrips replied to Stephen Rayleigh's discussion Point at Coordinates
"I think that this is a stellar idea.. the idea lends itself to military but I guess many of the concepts we use are reverse engineering from different contexts.
I presume that this already could exist within the mikrocopter hardware as it has a…"

I used to fly UAV's in the army, and there were a couple of features in the GCS for the camera that I found really useful. I was wondering how hard it would be to implement. Point at Coordinates button- when pressed, the camera stays fixed on the current stare point (very handy when mapped to a camera joystick button)Current camera location- constantly displays the coordinates of the camera stare point (extremely useful on a HUD overlay of the video) See More
