"No such luck. Ive actually been rebuilding mine from the ground up with different escs and see if that doesn't help resolve a few problems with sync holding in the stock units flashed w simonk. Ill update you if that has helped resolve most of my…"
"Hi Nati- Ive seen that problem more than once, and never got a satisfactory answer here. From what i could tell it boiled down to a few things:
1. check all of your bullet's solder joints. You can test across the joint with a resistance test to help…"

How would i get it back to default? is there some way to edit the code within the planner without having to fool with source?
or, in what case does the ESC lose its calibrations or de- sync?The problem is this: my Hex's ESCs have simonk firmware, and don't seem to hold calibration for very long. Granted I'm not an expert here and haven't yet flown a great many hours with…
After reassembling my hex with a 2.5 apm and new hex pdb, I tried a test flight or two and after flipping a few times and busting a prop, i reduced my expectations to just a hand test or two so i could validate my wiring etc. However, as i would arm…
"@DroneSavant- where'd your reply go? You'd said "I dont think they do repairs anymore".
Is that the case? Did you delete the reply having learned differently? I think there's ample evidence of responsibility on my part to facilitate an exchange."

prebuilt APM 2.0 with 2 dead or screwy output channels.No crashes.in short, when i converted my quad to a hex, 2 of the channels have started giving me fits.to wit, motor test in the CLI fails on 2 of the rotors. Ive swapped out the motors and ESCs…
"Have you updated to a new version of the mission planner? not too long ago, they updated to Mavlink 1.0 from .9 and if youre not using the updated MP software, it wont work."
"simple test for motors- connect the affected motor's ESC lead to your throttle output on the receiver itself and spin it up from the radio without the APM in the loop. That will tell you if both the ESC and the Motor are working. If it doesnt run…"
"Has anyone seen this behavior before? could it be due to brownout or is this an APM or ESC issue?"
former quad, converting to hex with a custom frame.Basically after building a custom frame and porting everything over, i now am having some odd problems that arent making sense to me. Im using APM 2.0, a stock pdb, motors, escs (flashed to…
"update- I mustve tested one of the good esc motor combos as Ive determined the issue to be 3 screwy ESCs. This brings up a number of other questions though, namely why? Especially when both were new from DIY store and the other worked wonderfully…"
Im converting my quad to a hex for greater capabilities and have it all ready to fly, when surprise.... three motors wont spin up.Here's whats been done and tested: 1. All of the ESCs successfully flashed to the tgy.hex2. pdb checked for…
"being that i have the soldering skills of a cappuchin monkey after an espresso, i elected to get a prebuilt one. No worries, though I can clip like a pro. Save for that, love the case!"
"FWIW my case didnt fit either, even though it was stock, without the optional headers, but the board fastener pins were too tall under the lower profile area. I did have to clip all of them, even the ones by the gps module to make it fit. After…"
"I should also add, that this is a consistant thing, not just thick-thumbing the throttle( errr entirely)"
