...figured I would add some info, gimbal is for a GoPro 3 black, mounted on a Tarot 680 Ironman frame, running APM 2.6, Spektrum Dx7s radio and Spektrum 9ch receiver. (Not that much of that is going to affect the gimble software) 4s lipos (which is at the top of the voltage rating for the...

I have a Tarot 2-D brush-less gimbal and I can't seem to get it from having a minor tremor. I have been all over the gains and motor configuration but have no real idea what gains I'm looking for. The instructions seem to suggest trial and error which is not working at all for me. Anyone...

I downloaded the Andropilot app and this seemed like the obvious solution. I ordered a USB cable and cheap phone holder off Amazon and Shazam! Now I just need to put the Hex together to test it out!

No problem, most FC either have a power module (bec) of some sort or are backfeed from the ESC, looks like the KK dosn't and Opto ESCs don't have a BEC built in. I just had to do the same thing on a build with Opto ESCs. Frame kits never come with any electronics except maybe a power...

I use a Spektrum Dx7s with my F450, no complaints.

You won't need the Ferrite ring (that green thing most of...

Bc6, any 5V Ubec should be fine, if you are only powering the K than a 5 amp will work. I'm surprised it dosn't come with some sort of power module. "Input Voltage: 4.8-6.0V (from Hobby king)"

Flightschool, The APM by 3D robotics has a GEO Fence option built in, with the GPS it limits the max height and distance like a dome. Found here http://store.3drobotics.com/products/apm-2-6-kit-1 And the description is here http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac2_simple_geofence/ Hope...

check these out, seems like a good option for battery mounting. I ordered both. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261242555540?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 http://www.ebay.com/itm/261233486189?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Had my first real test flight today, just hovered around the backyard for 5 min. The Hex few really well and was easy to control. I had to reverse all but my throttle on the radio to get my orientation right. Anybody know why this is? I rotated my compass in the mission planner as...

I'm working on the video system now, I don't have anything ordered yet. I'm going to do some shopping, I have considered robbing the video system off my quad, It has a FPV system w/ Remzibi OSD (poor mans osd). Supposedly the Remzibi goes really well with the APM.

found the digital scale, 3 lbs 1.5 ounce AUW

What is AUW?

I have a 3DR telemetry radio installed and working, also using the power module(installed and working). The UBEC is power for all the things that the power module can't handle.

The UBEC will cut out when the input voltage drops below 5V, If I'm not home by the time the battery hits 5V I'm not gonna make it anyway.

I didn't like the look of the power circuit and covered it up, not sure if it will stay that way but I had the wire loom on hand. I have a roll of Carbon fiber/Kevlar weave in the basement, I think I'll remove the wire loom and make a cover at some point. My ESCs have no BEC built in so I'll...

I opted to run a 12 gauge wire the full circumference of the upper plate instead of doing a PDB, it seemed like the best option for my layout. It is in a continuous circle connecting into all the ESCs and the 2 battery connections. Gives me 2 locations for getting power for add-ons, links both...

Ok here's a few pics, I have everything together and packed tight so it is kinda hard to make out what I have done without disassembling everything. I haven't finalized my Battery layout yet so I have a temporary battery lead on one side and the stubs to make the other on the other side. I want...

Yup, ordering one of those. Nice, Thanks!

Yes, I have a AMP 2.6 mounted on the lower plate that I think was actually intended for the battery. I haven't settled on a gimble or exactly what FPV system I'm going to run, I expect I'll do a separate FPV and camera for photo/video. I currently have a GoPro that I fly on my Quad and I might...
