"You could try setting up a deicer pump from a typical car system and have it controlled by a simple moisture sensor coupled to temperature through an 8bit mcu. Have the deicer spray a burst every so many minutes (test to determine) until either the…"
"Yes, you're right and the accompanying tunnel vision that occurs when you're trying to solder fat wire to a deans connector will result in more cross polarization and burn outs. I am amazed that the APM survived. "
"should I ask the obvious? Why aren't they making the PM with the deans connectors any more? Sorry if this is common knowledge. Haven't been keeping up with my group comments lately...."
"Could be the regulator. Check the output when the OSD disappears and see if it's up to snuff."
"that's some good information to know. then I'm thinking a "state dependent" problem. If you're running the motors in your shop, does it still disappear? What other details do you have?"
"Not really knowing all of the details of this situation, seems to me it looks like a heating problem somewhere because it doesn't happen immediately. You could try spraying the board with a component cooling/troubleshooting spray and see if the…"
"this looks like a dead thread, but I'll ask anyway.... is this description/process still relevant to the current reincarnation of the Ardupilot ? If so, there must be some changes over the last year and a half. What would have changed? I am in the…"
"did anyone ever get some resolution on implementing the HC-SR04 for altitude, landing, object avoidance.. any of the above?"
"I've seen the same behavior from a motor/ESC that hadn't been configured "set up" properly with the transmitter. If the auto setup isn't working, I'd go through and manually set up the motors individually as the wiki recommends. As the info…"
"Luis, had to go out of town for the day n. Postponed the testing to tomorrow. Appreciate the links! More when I get back to my computer

"I have a similar problem. I've got a tricopter with 3 .10 size electric motors that can cruise at 50 amps. Current use at WOT is only 22A with a fresh battery --using my 60 amp ESCs. That's less than 50%. I tried adjusting the transmitter range…"
I have a hypothetical question: if I'm going to build a scratch built multicopter, where in the huge amount of information on this site will I find the information I need to determine motor/esc/battery/ voltage /prop pitch and diameter matching to…
"no responses on this??"
