Having issues getting my quad to stabilize with standard ESCs that only support 50Hz updates. Anyone else using 50Hz ESC and managed to get it to work?
I'm using a homemade Quad with the beta3 code following the guide for a clean setup but I'm having major issues getting the PWM output to work right or at all. I though it may be H/W at first so I calibrated my ESCs, tried them directly (from…
"Ah, yeah thanks for pointing that out, I forgot to check the 1280. The 328 should be fine at that voltage and that’s what I checked, but I forgot about the 1280!
Hmm, I guess my solution is to go with powering the radio gear separately then.

"The main reason was that I'm building a quad so I'm not sure I want the failsafe functionality. I was thinking then that I may want to disable it in the code to be sure. I've also been programming (in C/C++, not arduino) avr and avr32's for a while…"
So I get my new APM in the post, excitedly open it connect a few servos, upload the dancing firmware test and.... nothing. Jitter and a crazy flashing mux led.Anyway to cut a long story short it seems the PPM chip has not been programmed right by…
