Arshish Maneckji replied to Christian Mauch's discussion Safety First: 100A & 200A Hall Sensor with BEC for Pixhawk / APM
"Hi,

Can I use my own Castle Creation 10A BEC with the Current sensor? Its quite a high quality BEC.

If I do this, will the calibration values you provide still be correct?

This is the BEC I am referring…"

Arshish Maneckji replied to Gabor H's discussion ublox M8N GPS - doesn't store settings
"I had the same problem guys with my M8N Drotek GPS. Settings I manually changed never persisted even after writing them to flash.

The workaround I found that fixed this was to upload the configuration file provided in the WIKI.…"

"Link to pictures. As you can see the scatter x y is not that great. Nowhere near as good as what you get with the drotek M8N and ground plane.

"Hi Thorsten. Thank you for replying. Yes its an additional ground plane. I dont know the material but its the one that Drotekbsells qith the gps unit. You have to aolder it tohether.

Pictures will follow."

Arshish Maneckji replied to engin berber's discussion Voltage divider help
"If you are setting the voltage manually then the voltage divider will automatically update. You dont need to change it back to 10.1. My understanding is that you EITHER change the voltage manually OR the Voltage Divider Manually. Changing both is…"

Hi,I am about to dig out my old APM which is a clone that I purchased before I purchased the Original 3DR Pixhawk.The last episode with the Clone APM resulted in a flip while in loiter. The graphs also show a divergence when I compare DROLL to ROLL…

Arshish Maneckji replied to Michal Paal's discussion APM Copter 3.3.2 help with Compass variance
"I had a very similar problem with my M8N & Pixhawk

Here is what I noticed:

1. When indoors and you do not have a GPS FIX and you have the internal compass also enabled you get the compass variance message. Once you get the GPS fix the message goes…"

Arshish Maneckji replied to Chris Maier's discussion 4s to 6s power system - compass variance
"Just my 2 cents.

Form the picture you posted the external compass wires run very close to the XT60 battery connector.  You could try re-routing those wires. Also, the External Compass could be moved to the front of the frame. Right now it's bang…"

Arshish Maneckji replied to engin berber's discussion Voltage divider help
"I believe that if the voltage indicated in mission planner is incorrect then you need to adjust that value manually such that the voltage in mission planner matches the actual voltage measured by an external device (multimeter).

I don't think there…"

2. RotorGeeks 30A ESC BLHELI
3. 3DR Pixhawk & Wireless Telemetry
4. SunnySky 3108 720KV
5. DroTek M8N XL with Mag with the Ground plane provided by Drotek. (Wire soldered from…"

Hi Everyone,I have an original 3DR Pixhawk. I have been wondering for a while what am I doing wrong or are my expectations just misplaced with regard to getting help. If I face an issue what is the correct approach I should take to get support?This…

Arshish Maneckji replied to Arshish Maneckji's discussion 1% Compassmot interference BUT high offset values
"Ok. I think I understand.

Does that mean that if I mount the compass exactly above Pixhawk in the center of the frame I would get the lowest offsets - Possible near 0? But the drawback of this would be higher interference..

Also - If offsets are…"

Arshish Maneckji replied to Arshish Maneckji's discussion 1% Compassmot interference BUT high offset values
"Thanks James. I do appreciate that the values are not all that bad and within the acceptable range however I would expect that with just 1% compassmot interference at least the x & y offset would be closer to 0.

Is there anything I could do to try…"

Hi,I am running 3.3.2 on a Pixhawk and when I run Compassmot, I get an interference of just 1%. Which is great however my mag offsets are not the best.I get -11, 38, -113. I am running a Drotek M8N XL GPS with the ground plane soldered. If its not…
