Hello, I just finished building my first APM controlled multi rotor. I have not done much other than some hover tests, trying to dial in the pids.The last few flights, I have been getting random…Continue

Hi all,I seem to be having problems with calibrating my speed controllers. I am building a y6, and using Red Brick 30A ESCs (I regret going on the cheap with the ESCs).The auto calibration didn't…Continue

Hello,I just got my APM2 and 3DR radios. I got the radios setup, and have the APM talking to the Ground Station. Telemetry and gps is being sent to the GCS and all seems well until I tried to "play…Continue

Dano replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration"I have since flashed the ESCs with simonk firmware. All seemed well for a short time until one let out the magic smoke. I have given up on these Red Bricks. HK had the BlueSeries 30A in stock in the USA warehouse, so I ordered a set of them. They…"
Tim Powell replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration"You might need to reprogram the esc. Check the HK website for the programming guide (it should be under the files tab on the product page) and youtube for some examples of programming it.
Perhaps your attempt to calibrate accidentally changed…"
Dano replied to Michael Walker's discussion Unable to retrieve logs"I am also new to all this APM stuff, and sometimes have a similar issue. What has worked for me is to unplug the USB cable from the laptop and plug it back in. Seem that the mission planner gets confused about the connection sometimes when going to…"
Dano replied to Dano's discussion Random throttle "burps" in stabilize mode."I think I have figured this out. I had CH7 set to RTL, and I think it was triggering. I didn't notice anything in the logs (don't know where to look) but viewing the flight in google earth made it obvious that the mode kept…"
Dano replied to Daniel Portillo's discussion Jumper to disable-enable GPS"Can you post some details on how you did this? Does this mod allow for use of the uBlox external GPS without getting port conflicts?"
Dano replied to Dano's discussion Random throttle "burps" in stabilize mode."Here are the logs. Not sure what looks "normal" or not yet. There are some spikes in throttle in, but they could be from me? Not sure. Anyone with a bit of experience looking at these could maybe take a look and let…"
Tony Heaton replied to Dano's discussion Random throttle "burps" in stabilize mode."I would also like some help with logs. When I go to terminal in mission planner I can type logs and it shows logs exist. When I then type dump, logs are dumped to the terminal. However, when I click on download logs, I get a…"
Dano replied to Dan Gray's discussion How can you tell the difference between the 433 and the 915 antenna's?"My 433 antennas both have a blue dot on them, so that may be the identifier. I don't not have a set of 900 to compare to however, so I am not positive, just seem likely to me."
Will Snodgrass replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration"I have the SS ESC's and they work just fine....I mean theres no Documentation like you said but....
I know for the auto calibration when you plug it in the second time (with the radio still at high) they beep Quite a few times rather then once…"
Dano replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration"I have done some digging this evening, and am about 95% sure that these "new" Red Brick 30A escs are a HK SS 30a in different shrink wrap."
Joseph replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration"I did the same thing I used the HK.com SS 30A and I am not getting the confirmation beep on the throttle down during the auto calibration but it seems wo work and fly well. I never tried the cli test on the motors but the quad flies well... I really…"
Dano posted a discussionESC Calibration
Hi all,I seem to be having problems with calibrating my speed controllers. I am building a y6, and using Red Brick 30A ESCs (I regret going on the cheap with the ESCs).The auto calibration didn't work at first, so I did a manual calibration of each ESC, or at least I think I did. There is a lack of documentation with these ESCs, so I am not sure the standards high throttle, power on, low throttle sequence works. I think it did, because the auto calibration worked after that. I am able to…See More
Dano replied to Dano's discussion Terminal Mode"It is the modem commands I cannot consistently open. I guess I really don't need to, just wanted to out of curiosity.
I understand the CLI isn't supposed to be accessed through telemetry, and I get why.
The garble concerned me, as I…"
Michael Pursifull replied to Dano's discussion Terminal Mode"Its MAVLink data. Do you want to enter the modem commands, or the CLI?
In general, you don't access the CLI from the telemetry port. It can be done, but only for a brief period of time after boot/reboot. This prevents your aircraft from…"
