I was flying in auto mode with my Y6 and APM 2.6, going well until it was heading towards the last waypoint and it gave a DCM bad heading error, then in "failsafe" mode took off in one direction.  Almost lost it, but it stopped finally then fell…

As soon as I put my Y-6 (arducopter 3.1 on APM 2.5) it begins to slowly rise.  Even if I continually lower the throttle (which should reduce the targeted hold altitude) it still climbs.  I think my vibration level is OK (generally <1).  Here is a…

I'm trying to set up a second video link from my gopro (3+ black edition) for a camera operator. I've got the video-out USB cable sold by tarot. I get video out for just a second, then a black screen. When I switch modes on the gopro (like…

Hi all;I've noticed that prior to takeoff what APM thinks is "level" is correct - I can hover with little stick input, and the artificial horizon is parallel to the real horizon on my OSD.As the flight progresses, the artificial horizon becomes…

Jason R replied to Mike P's discussion Gimbal/Camera set up in Arducopter Y6 Owners
"Are there any pictures of a 3dr Y6 with the "official" tarot mounting?  It seems to me the battery will no longer fit along the long axis once the tarot is mounted.  Do they turn the batteries sideways (left-right)?

Also, when I attached the tarot…"

"3D Robotics was willing to separately sell me the plate to mount the tarot to the Y6 for $10."

Since upgrading to 3.1, I've had the following issue:If my throttle trim is zero, then channel 3 is 1050 when transmitter is on with throttle stick all the way down.  When my transmitter is off, then channel 3 goes to 1150.In order to make throttle…

My FPV video link seems pretty choppy at times.  I was wondering if this looks like an interference issue or some obvious problem?Look around 2:30http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ONnXLVRTpoThis is only 100m distant 20m high.  I'm using the immersion…

Jason R replied to s3rp1c0's discussion Help! First quad flight issues (flip) :(
"I did have to reverse two of my sticks in the radio setup.

Also, I had some flipping tendencies that occurred when I selected the wrong firmware to download (4-rotor vs 8 push/pull)."

Jason R replied to Gábor Zoltán's discussion Adding extra functions to MinimOSD
"Why is it I see my HAM callsign in the OSD PC config app, but it isn't on my actual HUD?  Everything else the PC program set up is on my OSD the correct way."

Jason R replied to Jason R's discussion Can't fly after 3.0.1 upgrade... tries to flip itself..
"Ok, fixed it.  Dumb mistake.  When picking which BIOS to install, I thought that the first quad was the "+" version and the third was the "X" configuration.  The third is actually for a 4-arm octarotor.  I forgot the choice for + vs X was later in…"
