After reading all the comments and advice on the thread I have since renewed my interest in the APM 2.5 and flew it last weekend by reverting to 'default settings' with great success (although it still seems to want to rise and fall altitude wise 'at will' on Alt and Loiter modes - I'll work on that!). Since this thread was born, many of my fundamental questions and previous misunderstandings of the APM 2.5 have now been answered (refer to the thread). The board is reasonably small, well planned and easy to configure hardware wise (wiring etc).
I love the MISSION PLANNER - all credit to the guys that must have put 'hours and hours' of work into creating that interface. fitted to an Auducopter Hexa with all the 'stock' accessories fitted so it gave me the best chance to assess it under a known and tested environment. so please don't shoot me down for my early opinion. Mine is a year old now and has been swapped to at least 10 different frames and with a few minutes of Gain adjustments - every time it has performed faultlessly and whenever I flick the 'return to home switch' I feel I can relax and just watch my MR come home and auto-land in front of me (it's done that EVERY time 100% on every install) - there's an awful lot to be said for that level of confidence when your 'investment' is flying several hundred yards away at a few hundred feet from the (hard!) ground! I find it REALLY hard to find fault with this little (and it is little in size) unit - I have found it reliable, trustworthy, stable - whatever frame or configuration I have mounted it on. well in my opinion, odd and quite inconvenient! (This system probably deserves a lot more complements than I have given it - I have decided to re-install it in a frame soon and re-assess it's potential :-)
#Wookong m flight control system manual
The CON is I don't understand Chinglish that well - the instruction manual is terrible and the obligatory need (in the case of my YS-X6) to introduce a wireless router into the configuration is.
#Wookong m flight control system upgrade
Simply the best Autopilot system on the market today - if you don't believe that your're installing it incorrectly, you work for the ZEROUAV Company or just plain kidding yourself! The CON is it's soooo expensive ESPECIALLY when you want to upgrade to a simple 5 Waypoint autonomous flight option - damned shame about that part - but I guess Ferrari would argue the same in the sports car market!įantastic potential - from all I have read about success stories with the YS-X6 I believe it really is an outstanding system - including some autonomous flight options included. etc (I'll omit the ones like the HK KK2 LCD - although they do have a place in our hobby) I think I can state that I have tried all of the Autopilots on combinations of small to large Quad and Hexa frames (from all DJI Flamewheels inc TBS frame through RCTimer F800's to Arducopter 3DR, even including Flitetest's RotoBones series etc. With all the differing opinions and experiences here, I feel obliged to give MY honest simple summary experience of the autopilots I own and have flown - WOOKONG-M, YS-X6, NAZA V1 GPS (now with V2 firmware installed) and APM 2.5 (pre V3). Keep this thread alive as it is becoming a really valuable source of 'key information' we are all benefiting from. I believe there has been nearly 3000 views of this thread since 13th June - which is impressive to say the least.Ī huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time (in some cases considerable time) to contribute to answering my original question - special thanks to Monroe Lee King Jr who has taken the time and trouble to answer sooo many questions here that I'm sure we all 'scratched our heads' about at one time or another.
When I originally asked my question to the DIYD forum I had no idea what the reaction would be? and thanks again to Marco R for suggesting to me I should post this question.
