"I FOUND THE BUG, finally! I stayed persistant since it was driving me crazy, after screwing around with the radio awhile I went to changing random things in MP that shouldn't make any difference. I found that if I disabled the…"

James Overington replied to Dean Miller's discussion Channel 6 PID Tuning Problem"Hi Dean,
I experienced the same issue. After previously having no problem with the Ch6 tuning, it suddenly started acting as you describe. I found this extremely frustrating as it brought my tuning to a halt. I have not yet found a solution as I…"
Dean Miller replied to Dean Miller's discussion Channel 6 PID Tuning Problem"Still getting frustrated, I updated to MP 1.2.50 and same problem. Also changed ch 6 endpoints on Tx from -100/100 to 0/100 which simply changes the pwm output range (990 to 1500), changed to a different pot on Tx, changed endpoints…"
Dean Miller replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Whats wrong with Grid V2?"Loaded MP 1.2.50 and Grid V2 still works fine for me. Sorry I can't be of more help."
Andrew Sommer replied to Dean Miller's discussion Channel 6 PID Tuning Problem"I had the same problem until I went into my transmitter settings and made sure the AUX channels "end points" were set to 0 -100 "
Dean Miller replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Whats wrong with Grid V2?"Yes, mine is arducopter 2.9.1. i thought the mission planner would be the same but maybe I'm wrong here. I'm going to be updating my MP later today to try and fix an issue with ch6 tuning I'm having, I hope other things such as…"
Dean Miller replied to Dean Miller's discussion Channel 6 PID Tuning Problem"Radio was calibrated via MP and ch6 works smoothly on calibration page pwm 990 to 2013. Works perfectly in CLI test: tune. Does not work on Arducopter config page in MP.
Where is the Mavlink Parameter list?
I have not updated the MP, when I…"
Dean Miller replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Whats wrong with Grid V2?"Probably not much help but my MP 1.2.46 works just fine with Grid V2, just did a quick one.

Stephan Hiltenkamp replied to Dean Miller's discussion Channel 6 PID Tuning Problem"Sounds to me like ch6 isn't calibrated properly. When you go to the radio calibration screen and turn the knob, does ch6 move smoothly?

I just can't seem to get the channel 6 PID tuning to work properly despite spending many many hours over several days reading the wikki and searching posts and fiddling with settings, hopefully someone can help, I'm getting really frustrated. I'm using firmware 2.9.1 and Mission Planner 1.2.46 and a Turnigy radio with er9x.The problem is that on the config page mission planner seems to be ignoring the min/max values I enter for the tuning. For example for rate P, I set min to .05 and max to…See More
Dean Miller replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I totally agree, but I still like the switch idea, 3 seconds is too long to wait when it starts hitting something, but its better than nothing. When flying a 3D heli in idle up there is no 0 throttle, just fast and faster, its nice having a…"
Dean Miller replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"Thanks Kevin, great information here I didn't know. I did know alt and loiter controlled climb rate with throttle stick but still expected 0 throttle would cause a freefall, however what you said makes good sense. I have experienced…"
Dean Miller replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I would tend to disagree with this logic Kevin, how can you do a piro at 0 throttle? I've never tried but I would guess to motors pretty much stop. I personally think there should be some way of shutting down the motors when things go…"
Dean Miller replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released"I agree, remove it from the copter code in the next release. It sure explains the event I had, in failsafe RTL (transmitter bat died, my fault...stoopid) my quad took off completely in the wrong direction! It eventually turned…"
Dean Miller replied to Andrew Chapman's discussion Power Module v2.0 suggestion: multiple outputs in the group ArduCopter User Group"As an added suggestion for the future, how about building the Power Module into the Power Distribution Board. I think that would be super slick, one less added on component. Has anyone considered that? I cut the connector off my PM…"
