It's connecting to COM3 (via USB) and COM4 (via telemetry). We have checked and there are no excess COM ports in the "Ports" section of device manager. We are using Windows 7 and we have also used Mac Os(Mavericks). We are not sure exactly what bootloader we would use. We found instructions for...

Also, how can we possibly check what firmware we have and what is the latest firmware version for APM 2.6?

My team and I have built a quadcopter with the APM 2.6 and we wanted to integrate additional sensors (i.e. sonar sensors for avoiding obstacles, color sensors, etc). We followed the instructions on the developer.ardupilot.com website, downloaded the ardupilot repository from github, and wrote...

Update: Now, every time we try to go to the "Initial Setup" tab and choose "Install Firmware", we get an error: "There was an unexpected error".

Hello All, After trying to update some custom code onto our APM in order to add some sensors to our copter, we ran into a few roadblocks. Our code was not able to upload due to some error and we also figured that our attempt to upload code had messed with the firmware we had previously...

Thank you so much! APM does have extra pins, but it has a fairly intricate source code and I wasn't entirely sure on how to integrate my own code with the current system without tampering with its existing features. I was able to assign flight mode change on a toggle switch on my controller, but...

Thank you so much - really appreciate it! We're using an APM 2.6 flight control board so I believe flight modes can be changed via the RC channel 5 - but the signal for APM is PWM not PPM (I tried using the servo library with APM, but it doesn't seem to be working). What is the best way to...

That sounds a little like what we had in mind. We thought about using an ultrasonic sensor(a very simple one) and connecting that to our Arduino mini and then connecting the Arduino to our copter. We are having difficulties figuring out exactly which ports on the flight controller to use. We'd...

That sounds like a good idea. How many sensors do you think we could possibly use and do you have any suggested ways of connecting the Arduino board to the flight controller? Also, do you have any suggestions on what to add to the existing program on the flight controller (if need be)? Thanks...

For now, we would like to build off the source but are also looking to build from the ground up. We have experience with Arduino, Java, C and electronics in general, but this is our first UAV build. Thanks for the help.

Beginner.

Hey Guys, Me and a couple of friends built an Arducopter and we have been able to fly it, but we want to be able to program it to fly autonomously and perhaps integrate sensors to it too. Is that possible? If so, can you please post some useful information and links? We know that the APM is...
