Just got into building and flying FPV and photo platforms. Started with an AR Drone, then to DJI F450 with Boscam FPV setup, to Tarot fy690s which I'm building now for water sampling platform.

"Does this happen on USB only or with the battery connected? I found that too many things on the I2C bus while powering with only USB caused this for me. Once hooked up to the battery all of the problems went away."
"After you complete calibration does it give you two sets of offsets? I know when I calibrate mine the second one barely seems to follow but I get two sets when completed.

"I had this happen with an update to Mission Planner 1.1.29. An update to 1.1.30 set things back to normal for me. Something to check anyway."
"Your setup in ecalc predicts 69% throttle at hover. I don't think you have enough propeller surface for that low kv of a motor. Change to even a 330kv ups you to 47% throttle at hover by eCalc's results.

"What GCS are you using? Have you tried a different one? I would think more copter would be having problems with such a basic setting. Maybe it is the GCS that isn't properly doing what you expect. I noticed in a quick Google search that something…"
"I had that happen also. There is a newer update that corrects it. 1.3.30."
"The APM uses a 5 pin plug and the Pixhawk uses a 6 pin plug. I didn't realize this right away as the 5 pin plug went into the 6 pin connector on the Pixhawk but the GPS was problematic. After changing to a 6 pin wired correctly the GPS worked as…"
"I believe the calibration/initialization is finished after the LED quits flashing red-blue. Once I plug my power in I leave the aircraft set until I get my GPS lock.

"Use due diligence and learn about your aircraft and it's control systems before you fly it. Learn how to fly your aircraft in non-GPS flight modes like stabilize and alt hold before using GPS modes.

"It may be possible and hopefully someone else with more knowledge can jump in. I know the improvements to the Pixhawk are constant so what doesn't work right now may work soon."
"Two ways come to mind. Directly from the receiver bypassing the Pixhawk or dedicated receiver and second transmitter and don't forget second operator. "

"How are you powering the board? I have had problems with a laptop not supplying enough power through the USB port. Also just for the upgrade try unplugging things from the board and retrying.

"Perhaps you were facing north and your yaw values were bouncing between 0 and 360 degrees. That would show up as big jumps as you see but was only 1 or 2 degrees or so of actual yaw.
