Loiter works great, alt hold works great.

The drift however is a KILLER!

I plug everything in, arm the motors and all is well, but over time (around 20-30s) I slowly have to start giving more and more stick input to keep it in one place. Until eventually my sticks are maxed out to keep the copter in one place. I then have to land.

I have tried running the level command as well as the in-flight leveling.

The inflight leveling actually makes things worse.

The only thing that fixes the drift temporarily is resetting the board.

Any ideas?

    Apreciate you help al lot. Tnx.

    Do you have a flash log you can post? 

    I need attitude_fast, CTUN, and raw enabled.

    If you can fly in one spot until you get a drift I would appreciate it. 

    if you want to try an experiment, there is this line in system.pde:

    dcm._clamp = 5;

    try and make it 

    dcm._clamp = 12;

  • I also have this issue with the new apm2, serveral other users are also reporting this problem. We already made a thread about this http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/help-big-problem-with-my-hexa?id=... but we are getting totaly ingnored. That is what you get from diy drones by supporting there new hardware. I even mentioned this problem in the apm2 blog. But no reaction nothing. They promis us PID settings for over 2 weeks now. I loved this community with apm1 last 4 months I have spend every free hour on this project.But now I am verry disapointed in diy drones And before ranting starts. No I don't blame the dev team in any way i love there great work and they make it all happen for us.
