"I had the same problem and was solved with the 3DR modem, until I found that there is a parameter in MP to set a startup delay which prevents the Xbee from getting bricked....just look thru the advanced parameters and you will find. Don't…"

AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"and possibly depends on propellors as well. In 2.9.2 my Quad wobbles on descend and wobbles going thru waypoints. Changed the props from carbon to cheap plastic and the wobbles are gone, I hover at 50% instead of 60%, the batteries last longer and…"
AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I have seen the same behavior, which resulted in a nasty crash over the weekend:
Was flying FPV and at some point my RX went in to fail safe (action: RTL). It then came back to ALT-HOLD upon which I decided to engage RTL, just to make sure.
The Quad…"
AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"Hi Alex,
I have flown my Quad numerous times now with 2.9.1b and actually -for the first time- did a few auto missions that took the quad outside the range of my TX (behind homes, I always kept in line of sight). Once with failsafe set to…"
AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I have flown FPV in 2.8.x, but am now waiting for a replacement video RX. ONly limited FPV (hover) with 2.9.1. Will keep you posted. Hope to know more in 2 weeks when the replacement RX is in stock again....

AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I have seen the same thing a few times (but then in English!). The easiest thing to do is to just uninstall MP, download the latest version and install.

AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I have flown 2.9.1b quite a bit over the past few days. Numerous 'spot on' RTLs (interesting to see the Quad drop out of the sky on descend and arrest the descent the last few meters and do a gentle touch down). Also did a few auto…"
AlexP replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"HI all, One simple question: which parameter in the Advanced Parameter list of MP controls the descend rate during RTL, immediately after RTL_LOIT_TIME has been completed? I know the final descend rate is: LAND_SPEED, but the initial descend rate is…"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"HI Eric,
You have a very stable camera gimbal and I wonder what you are using for that?
I noticed a few things: the props you are using appear to be the flimsy plasticky ones. Not APC or better. My experience is that it can make a big…"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"I concur, the Gimbal Neutral settings are not working.
Can de developers confirm this as a bug, or is it user error?
Thanks
Alexander"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Yep, that was it! Problem solved! After calibration of CH8, it worked. My bad (once again).
Best regards,
Alex"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Yes, I was lucky. Good thing that Rate P was not"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Yes, thanks to all three of you! I have re-read the wiki and simply missed that sentence. While thinking about it, it makes perfect sense to switch between modes before taking control as it will allow for verifying all radio settings before the…"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Vince, I will have to look in to that. I thought I did a mode change, but apparently I did not.
Thanks, this was helpful!
Alex"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Randy,
You hit it on the nose! Nope: Never had channel 8 connected, so I did not do the radio setup. I apologize to have bothered you. I should be able to try this in the next hour or so.
Would have a chance to look at my post regarding Fail-safe, a…"
AlexP replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hi Leonard, Marco, Randy and other experts,
Based on previous posts, this question may be for Randy.
I have hooked up a gimbal, controlled by CH10 (roll) and CH11(tilt) on APM 2.5. When I set gimbal tilt 'Input Ch' to RC6, it does exactly…"
