When I do radio setup - channels 5-8 are not working! But before they were working properly. I'm using latest code from Mission Planner as well as I've tried to compile and upload myself. Receiver is okay - I've checked it with servo. On older versions of APM sometimes I've had same problem, but it was fixed when I upload firmware myself. Now it is not a solution.

 

Also hardware part (wires, pcb) most probably ok, but in case I'll check them again. It couldn't be damaged - I didn't fly it since that time.

Yes, I've traced signal on main board with oscilloscope - I can see pulses right on the ATMega328, and if I move controls - they are changing, so it must be something with firmware. Any ideas how to fix this?

 

Uploaded firmware again via Mission Planner - now only ch8 is working...

Yep that's exactly what I get as well.

If you connected the APM and receiver up according to the Wiki then you will have routed your receiver Control channel to channel 8 on the APM. and receiver throttle/elev/aileron/rudder to channels 1-4 on the APM.

Yeah. thats what exactly i"ve done.

BTW This is not my first UAV drone.

I had the same problem yesterday. Try to calibrate radio in cli-mode. It did seem to do the trick for me. I didn't have time to find out the reason for this though..

For me the fix was to upload firmware few more times - and then it worked...
