"It was a Whitespy compass that I had trouble getting the orientation right with also. It is the only compass that I have used so far that required extra work to get it right."
"I had a similar problem once. The cause was the GPS, it was one of the ones mounted on a circuit board with out a clear way a identifying correct orientation. I was 90* off and upside down and had the symptoms you are describing.

"I don't believe true air speed is the issue here. It is change in speed, or more specificly change in acceleration relating to the begining of a maneuver and at the end of a maneuver. Basically,a high pressure bubble compensator.

"I am aware that there is a bias factor for baro vs accels,
But it is a static relationship.
What might be interesting to consider is to find a way to make the relationship dynamic instead of static.
The sink only happens while accelerating, so…"

"My naza equipped discovery flies strait fast and low.
My naze32/w baro on a mini 250 looses altitude the same as my Hawk platforms.
Is unreasonable to think that Dji also encountered this altitude sink issue and made a software patch to fix it?…"

"I attempted to upload 3.3.2 coming from 3.3.1 and the upload completes fine.
But when the "please wait for musical tones to finish before clicking ok" pops up I do not get any musical tones even after several minutes.
The hawk board won't connect…"

"Wow, to Philip and Goro, thank you!
That is some of the best and most complete diagnostic and set up information that I have seen on the PX4flow to date!
Thank you again!"

"Lidar is a very accurate sensor for measuring distance, maintaining a specific distance from the ground.

"The correct firmware has been installed, the camera has been focused.
What I am not seeing is any useful data being generated by the sensor in the logs.
Is there a way to see live data to verify that the PX4flow sensor is working correctly?"

It would be nice to have the option use the installed sonar or lidar, either way OF is really neat feature."

"I have been playing with the lidar lite and am very impressed with how well it makes my quad hold altitude. It make arducopter still more fun to use!
I am really looking forward to fuller integration of range finders,(during auto missions)and the…"

"I have a PX4Flow I am getting ready to mess with, already have lidar lite working, but have not found any more info than what is on the wiki.
Is there an active blog/ forum thread for people who are actually using the PX4Flow?"
