http://imagizer.imageshack.us/.../skywalkerwithflapse.jpg

followed this and did it.

NOW, when the OSD is connected, there is no video feed and just one RED LED lights up.

I guess there is something more to do ? Flashing ? I have the USBASP cable , please , how do i do it with that ?

Or do i have to get the FTDI thingy ? if so , from where ?

SO AS IT TURNS OUT ... the OSD was plug-play...

ALL IS WELL AND GOOD NOW OSD data overlay is here ... except for one issue ...


I have mounted the cam on servo for movement, when I move it , the cam reboots and so does the OSD ( no overlay comes until i manually press the reboot button)


setup wise i have a separate LiPo ( 1000mAh ) for the FPV radio OSD and the CAM ... so i think its something to do with the  OSD power ....

Any help here ??

we discussed this topic many times before, i think you should power Servo individually.


refer this: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-servo/#connecting_the_servo_to_an_apm2x

without cutting, you need
individual bec to power FC,
remove power jumber in FC
and use servo function in FC to control(other than direct connection from RX to Servo)

i think you need to read again and again.

yes, that should work.

I prefer:
eject only red wire from connector of servo.
do same for one of the bec (From ESC)

Connect both ejected red wires(From BEC to Servo).

ok ... will try.

UPDATE ..

Just ha the first flight Cheesy

APM is awesome Cheesy

responsive yet smooth !~!


One thing i couldn't get is the altHold .. when i switched to it the quad kept climbing altitude ... how does that work ??

In the setting ( advanced parameter ) I went from .8 to 1.2 ... not much difference seen ..


THE ENDING WAS BAD though ... from a height of about 5m the solder of my POWER Module came off ... Quad dropped ... Nothing major damage though .
1> 2 props broke
2> APM Pins bent ( M1 to M4 ) , corrected them .
3> Zips of 2 motors broke.
4> Frame got bent from the center ( a curvature as the metal holder i had placed took the impact Cheesy )

otherwise .. nothing major . All's fine.

your copter's hovering throttle is in between 40%-60% to work altHold better.


is perfectly described here:http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/altholdmode/#controls

Check in mission planner if there is any huge variations in altitude readings when its not armed and still in ground.

and also check the readings are correct while lifting quad from ground without armed.

AKHILZID .. THANK YOU SO MUCH ! Cheesy All the hlep Cheesy

Quad finally flew and APM is amazing ! Cheesy

Was fiddling with the ALT Hold mode and got what you were saying about the 40-60 thing ... cool stuff ..

It was soo breezy here and even without the GPS quad managed to stay in control Cheesy


Now that all of that is taken care off back to the last few queries:

1. Servo powering - you said about the wire splitting .. ok will do that and report back.

2> Battery Life - I  dont get it here, i have 5Ah and 8Ah .. on the % I got about 7mins of flight time. with the 8Ah i got a good 16mins ! why such difference ??

Glad to Know that your quadcopter flown well.

i think you need to take more samples to confirm regarding battery. and need more details about components.
