Increasing flight time

Hello all!I'm currently using a 2200ma LiPo battery on board my craft. I'm getting 5 minutes of flying time. This is way to short for what I need it to do. I would love to get at least 15 minutes. Is…Continue

Hey guys! Really happy with my copter, had it for a while, been able to knockout some kinks. Sill haven't tried full autonomous yet, but I want to figure out why it's doing this: It's flipping! For…Continue

"Arashi, now I plan to flash my ESC with simon K. I will make it by this week end. I think this is one of the solution I can try. Here the video how they make it Multistar SimonK Anyway, can you let me know which APM firmware you are using? Is it…"

"It is hard to troubleshoot without being able to calibrate the throttle.  I looked up your ESCs and it seems as though the throttle is "auto" calibrated somehow. If you are trying to get smooth yaw for video work, I would suggest…"

"Arashi, Yes it wobble and altitude change when input the yaw. I'm using Multistar ESC. It high rate (480hz) and it auto. Mean I cannot calibrate like normal ESC. Initially I think it cause by ESC also. But I can't calibrate it. Maybe…"

"@Nano I used the default PID's and it flew fine. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that your quad changes altitude a little and wobbles once when you yaw it.  Have you calibrated the throttle on all of the ESC's?When you…"

"@Nano -   With a 2kg quad, 11ah 4s battery, NX 4006 530kv motors, and APC 14x4.7 props,  I was getting a reliable 35 minutes of flight time in actual flying conditions.   The battery did cost $300 though.  Since I was carrying a…"

"I would recommend not using the default way point altitude (100 m) I stupidly did not think too much when setting up my first auto flight but 100m is really high and much windier than ground level usually. My quad made it to the first way point and…"

"Try RTL first. Be sure to flip back into Stabilize immediately if it does anything unexpected. Don't let it build up speed and head towards somewhere else and crash.  A lot of HW/SW things can go wrong such as GPS, GPS wire, compass…"

Arducopter - waypoint prerequisites

Hey!So, I've been using my arducopter for quite a while (manually). I really want to experiment with fully automated flights.Is it all ready to go? Any thing I need to do before I go and have it auto take off, maintain altitude, and land? I don't want to have it just shoot into the air and never come back... :PThanks! See More
