Long time ago when I got APM2.5. I found it behavior is wired. Sometime the horizontal line is spin. First I think it came from some of my quad component or firmware. So I leave it on a table. Last month. I decided to take a look and find a way to fix this. I…
The difference between V0.1 and V1.1 is voltage regulator to deal with excessive heating issues. Nothing else different. If you are using MinimOSD with APM. You may found annoy message shown on FPV as “Update CharSet.”. This can hide by press reset button on MinimOSD. Or another way is hardcode and remove this charset upgrade process…
I decided to change frame from F330 to F450 due to space for put equipment. The default PID value is not suitable for this frame. But not much change. I also put external BEC (Castle Creation 10A). I always use this not because the speed is opto type. But it’ll make your overall system stable.…
Yesterday I just finished connect APM2.5 with MinimOSD v0.1. You don’t need to solder extra UART0 pin on the edge of APM2.5. Just use the telemetry cable come with APM. *Becareful* to check voltage/ground pin before plug it. Please also check your MinimOSD firmware. You have to use most current firmware with MAV1.0 support. Download…
Just finished put all component. Default parameter look quite ok. But need a few adjust and she will fly great!. Tomorrow will do more fine tune and will share parameter soon. Update 1: Bad luck. Seem like one of my motor gone. I need replacement before continue testing. I’m tesing it with DJI Naza too.…
Unlucky that I’ve broke my APM2.0. I’m not care enough when put OSD module. It short circuit the main board. But my local dealer announce that they have new APM 2.5. The ArduPilot Mega 2.5 is a complete open source autopilot system. It allows the user to turn any fixed, rotary wing or multirotor vehicle…
I’m using XBee on APM 1.0 before. But it stop working with unknown reason. Today I decided to get replacement Xbee and I choose “XBee Pro 900 RPSMA”. It can use external antenna and also support my old 900Mhz module (I feel like it only broke one). The setup on Xbee module is really easy.…
This is my first flight with APM 2.0. I decided to plug this board into Gaui 500X. It quite easy to maintenance for me. After a few hours to play around with board, configuration and tune up. I finally fly it. But not good yet. I just finished tune up on Arco and Stable mode.…
After 2 months pre-ordered for this board. I finally got it. This board is look so slim and totally different from first version. Mainly upgrade point from my old APM 1.0 is ATMega 2560, New Barometer and buildin GPS. This only one board with slim plug-in board. Please see this photo I have no comment on…
เนื่องจากอุบัติเหตุที่ไม่น่าให้อภัยทำให้บอร์ดเก่าเกิดปัญหาที่เซ็นเซอร์ เลยต้องหาบอร์ดเซ็นเซอร์ใหม่ แต่ด้วยราคาที่เกือบ 1/4 ของบอร์ดตัวใหม่ที่รวมทุกอย่างไว้ด้วยกันแล้ว เลยตัดสินใจว่าขอเลือกบอร์ดใหม่ดีกว่า ได้ทั้งขนาดที่เล็กลง และ ATMega 2560 เสียด้วย Main Features Three processors–a triple-core autopilot! All new state-of-the-art sensors; the first autopilot to use the Invensense 6DoF MPU-6000 Smaller, lighter, cheaper than APM 1.0–just $199 ready to fly, with GPS, magnetometer and dataflash included. Like APM 1.0, this is the world’s only Universal…
