Mike Boland replied to Alan's discussion Can't stop Hexa from climbing in Alt Hold.
"I have the same problem, and it seems to be a combination of a non functional Sonar and tuning. If I do Alt Hold above 10m then the hexa holds within a few metres, but down low it will just climb. With space I let it climb to see how high it would…"

Can't stop Hexa from climbing in Alt Hold.

The Hexa flies well with all default setting except rate roll which had to be reduced to 0.110 to stop it oscillating. When I switch on altitude hold the hexa climbs and keeps climbing. I have reduced rate roll in 0.01 stages from 0.11 to 0.06 while reducing throttle rate from 0.3 to zero  for each stage via ch6  and it still climbs. I daren't go any further as it is getting unstable. I have loaded the firmware numerous time, performed erase / reset and gone through the setup.I have calibrated…See More

Mission Planner hidden drop down box

This morning I downloaded Mission Planner 1.2.5. Under the Com and Baud boxes is a hidden drop down box for Arduplane, Arducopter2, and Ardurover. When I clicked on it came up as Arduplane. Would having Arduplane set in the box effect what Arducopter firmware is downloaded in anyway? I am running MP on an old Dell laptop with Windows XP. Is it hiding for everyone or just me?See More
