Title: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 17, 2017, 09:56:58 PM Hi, I am new to RC hobbies, so I want to know the basics for connecting my APM 2.6 to computer. When I connect my APM to computer with the USB should I put the jumper in jp1 or not? Because I don't want to burn my flight controller.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 18, 2017, 01:00:18 PM Connect the micro usb cable to the apm and connect the usb on your pc.
The driver for atmega 2560 will install.Click the connect option on the top right of the mission Planner window.Go to the initial setup and click on the install firmware and select the frame type your firmware will install. After installing firmware connect the hardware components of your drone and start callibrating it. Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer.

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 05:58:21 AM I am using 1000kv motors with 10x4.5 propellers.But my battery got damaged after crashing.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 06:24:45 AM Wow nice. Sorry to hear that. Are you using an power module. If the battery is not burned you can repair your battery there are various videos on YouTube. My frame is F450, 1000kv motors, simonk ESC, 1045 PROP, Battery 3000 mAh from robu.in, one single axis gimbal. Build it looking YouTube videos. Now ordered a GPS 8m waiting for that.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Swapnil on March 20, 2017, 12:57:06 PM ... If the battery is not burned you can repair your battery there are various videos on YouTube... Please DO NOT even try that. A damaged LiPo can cause serious injuries. Even if there are no signs of physical damage, the LiPo might malfunction and burn. It's wiser to buy a new LiPo after a crash. Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 01:52:20 PM Multistar lipo batteries are very good but they are costly.I am going to attach the APM 2.8 on my drone.I ordered them from rees52.I am using the power power module.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 03:06:57 PM I heard that after flight accident we must check the battery thoroughly.My battery got damaged after one week of accident.Second time I bought another battery.It worked but accidently it falled from my hands and one cell got damaged next day.
I heard that Chinese lipos are not good.Is it true? Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 07:01:14 PM Some of the Chinese lipo are fake they assume to be 2200mah but sometimes unlucky it comes out to be 800mah or 1000mah so I would suggest don't go for Chinese. I m also using a power module.the site u mentioned rees521 or something like that is it a good site is it trustworthy.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 07:12:23 PM you can find good battery on rcmumbai and rcduniya.com.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 07:20:42 PM Thanks mate/sir. While using the power module the jumper should be unplugged right. And the ground wire, the signal wire and the positive wire connecting the ESC. my question is that in that position while connecting the apm with the ESC can I connect all the three wires in the APM or only should I connect the signal wire of the 4 ESC . No jumper only power module . m little bit of confused.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 07:29:40 PM while calibrating the power module unplug the esc wires from the apm.After a successful callibration you can connect all the three esc wires to the apm and the power module also.While calibrating connect the battery but don't connect the esc at that time it will damage the board.

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 07:39:02 PM Well Jintumoni do you know how to callibrate the power module without using battery?I will buy battery later.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 07:51:10 PM Yes you have to connect the PM first then in mission planner you have to select the power module I have linked you to videos as a guideline. While doing that it will not show the original voltage and current but instead it will show you the voltage and current from the USB . It will only show the correct voltage and current when you connect the battery. The two videos will let you know the mods you have to change on the PM option in the mission planner. And please don't connect the USB and the battery together as it might kill your voltage regulator in the APM and also I don't have a good knowledge.

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 07:56:31 PM Thanks mate/sir. Even I need some knowledge about the power module. So r you using any sports cam.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 07:59:13 PM you can ask me?
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 08:02:35 PM 👍 thanks

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 08:29:07 PM Sorry 15% eBay discount coupons.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 08:35:54 PM are you using any optional hardware with your APM.I am using neo 7m gps,power module and buzzer.
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 08:41:08 PM i got an idea of building a drone with obstacle sensor.Arduino and 5 ir sensors are needed for this. but it will be too much hard to mount the arduino and the ir sensors.

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 08:54:40 PM I ve ordered a 8m GPS module will get the delivery end of this month. It will be my first GPS. I m using a voltmeter with buzzer. You can get the ir sensor but too much connection will be complicated and more battery will be drained. No not using any extra optional hardware but a simple single axis gimbal. How much flight time you are getting with the previous battery
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: Jintumoni23 on March 20, 2017, 08:55:11 PM You can share the idea
Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sankhasubhra11 on March 20, 2017, 09:14:41 PM Only got 3 or 4 minutes of flight time with kk2.1.5 flight controller.

Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: ratz on March 30, 2017, 10:48:19 AM I have bought a fly sky T6 transmitter and a real flight simulator but while connecting with my transmitter the software is showing
"No authorised controller device found, If u have interlink, Please plug in If u have a realflight interface, Please plug in and make sure that radio is connected and powered up" So, What does it mean? Why is it not connecting with the lappy? Title: Re: Help with APM 2.6 setup with computer. Post by: sinGN on March 30, 2017, 11:16:01 AM Thanks for the information.
