Missing Log Files - APM with PTSD?
Started Oct 4, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
A few weeks ago I had a wicked crash of my quadcopter (APM 2.0 with sonar). It suddenly took off in one direction (without waypoints or input from me) but eventually came back to its hover point. I…Continue

I'm just getting my 3DR AC2 up and running with an APM2. I have the ubiquitous Eurgle/FlySky/Imax/Turnigy 9x r/c transmitter. I know many folks flash the er9x firmware to this transmitter for use…Continue

Dan replied to TUFAN OZBEK's discussion win8 mobile phone with APM planner!? in the group ArduCopter User GroupDan replied to Ergun Calisgan's discussion looking for battery suggestions in the group ArduCopter User Group"Don't get the 4S batteries. The extra voltage won't help you. Get 3S and consider 4000-5000 mah. I have a 5800 mah which is good but a little heavier than I wanted. If you're going to run additional electronics, such as telemetry or a…"

A few weeks ago I had a wicked crash of my quadcopter (APM 2.0 with sonar). It suddenly took off in one direction (without waypoints or input from me) but eventually came back to its hover point. I started a fast decent, but when I gave it more stick to slow it down the throttle seemed to give out and it slammed into the ground. I was only in the air for 5 min, so it wasn't just a dead battery. After replacing the broken landing gear, I went to download the log file to see where things went…See More
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"I'm interested in using four digital (vs analog) led strips to do a sort of animation along the arms of my quad. The LEDs would light sequentially from outside to in when the quad was descending and inside to out when it was ascending,…"
Dan replied to Patricio's discussion jdrones GoPro Camera Mount" so are you happy with this cameramount? Thinking of getting it, but it looks so flimsy.

Dan replied to Monroe Lee King Jr.'s discussion Calibrating ESC's in the group ArduCopter User Group"Are you using the stock (yellow) ESCs that come in an Arducopter kit? I used those and was unable to get them to calibrate either automatically or individually. It turns out that some of the ESCs shipped by 3DRobotics have a firmware…"
Dan replied to DFX's discussion Can't program DIY Drones 20a ESC"That would explain it. Thanks so damn much. I'm going to write them to see if they'll accommodate me as they did you."
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"I found a post in one of the forums with a similar problem. According to that kind gentlemen, DIYDrones shipped two different types of plain yellow ESCs, one of which is not programmable (despite what the instructions say). That would…"

Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"Happy to skype with anyone who want to inspect my setup. This is ridiculous since I can't get the basic 3dr kit to work..."
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"I've been trying to do this with the ESC directly connected to channel 3 (Throttle) on the receiver. the APM2 isn't in the loop at all.
I'm doing this indoors. Probably 70 degrees F, 21C"
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"certainly didn't intentionally set to NiMh. No matter what I do, I seem to only be able to get the musical "123" tone (self test) and a long beep when it arms (with throttle low). I don't get three beeps or two beeps…"

Thanks for your willingness to help. I'm using the plain yellow ESCs that come with the 3DR arducopter kits. https://store.diydrones.com/ArduCopter_ESC_20_Amp_p/ac-0004-08.htm
Datasheet is at…"
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"More ESC trouble. I rechecked everything, and I'm still having trouble getting the ESCs to calibrate. When I connect the ESC directly to the receiver, I get the "123" tone indicating the self test process, but I don't get 3…"
Dan commented on Chris Anderson's group ArduCopter User Group"Props were correct. I think the ESC calibration may not have been working because my LiPo was seriously low. Recharging now to see if that makes any difference"
