AUTO test in 2.0.47

Below is a log of an AUTO correctly done, but there are two small problems than can be seen:

1) Take-off lift much higher than expected (all heigth are planned to be 6m above 665m absolute). Then it goes to the correct altitude in WP2

2) If two WP are far enough, it speed up a lot, and so heigth is momentarely decreased (scared me) a lot. See the red arrow at only 1m. This is due probably to a high NAV_P value (4) used.

 

same AUTO repeated > same problem

.47 has been great for me. ALT-hold (most wanted feature) is working perfectly until I fried my APM, hopefully the diydrones guys can get back to me on overnighting me a new one for a shoot this weekend.

Hi, I also have testet this version.

On .45 the loiter works ok 1 x 9 meter field it´s not gut but do not overshot.

Today I have testet .47 and loiter do not work for me it overshots total, so I have to switch of loiter.

I now have changed the pid´s for loiter and nav like .45 and will test it tomorow again.

I've just made some tests with 2.0.47 version. In loiter mode my hexa is doing it's job but the reactions/corrections are a little bit agressive. What values i must change to have more soft movements in loiter mode? I have the default PIDs. The wind was blowing pretty hard, i was really surprised how well it was compensating.

Xbee problems on 2.0.47

I've been flying with Xbee connected in order to tune Pids easy. But i found an importantnt problem: from time to time the four motors are stoped by 1 second or so, then continues normally. This happens randomly (I can't identify any reason). I've verified in my two copters, and do the same.
Anyone had this problem?
