"OK I figured it out really quickly. Its to do with mode switching. not sure why but for me i had something set to CH8 and i must have Ch8 set to mode switch in minim. So change that or your transmitter and you should be set.
hope this helps."

Elliot posted a discussionSticks tilted forward in stabilise
Hi,I've got a bit of an issue.The problem is that in Stabilise mode when I've been flying forward it sometimes (twice now) sticks and regardless of my input nothing happens until after a few seconds (maybe 3 or 4) all of a sudden it's back but now slow oscillating seemingly over compensating.Any ideas? It's cost me two rebuilds so far as the oscillation is unrecoverable once it starts, I've tuned down gain in Stabilise P and this doesn't happen normally even when I flick it about.How could it…See More

Richard Boyhan replied to Elliot's discussion Ballistic chute"My Hex fell when I had a complete power failure to the APM. I had an under size BEC and added camera servos which killed all power. Broke one arm. Looking forward to seeing your video.
Thanks,

Elliot replied to Elliot's discussion Ballistic chute"Hi Richard,
Just back from being away of the festive season :)
The 1000mAh cell is purely to run the chute board as it must run totally indepentently to all other systems to be a safetly feature.
I am only flight testing the system at the moment…"
Richard Boyhan replied to Elliot's discussion Ballistic chute"I'm interested about your chute system. Unfortunately I don't have a great understanding of the inner workings of the power system. I assume your 6 spinny things are your props? What size are they and do you actually fly with only a 1000…"
Elliot replied to Elliot's discussion ArduCopter V2.8.1, 3DR Radio and HK GCS"So everyone using HK hasn't been able to upgrade AMP?
Does this mean that if I go backwards then I could end up with issues and bugs which hadn't been addressed in that older version of Aducopter or is it just th mav element which is…"
Bill Bonney replied to Elliot's discussion ArduCopter V2.8.1, 3DR Radio and HK GCS"HK GCS uses Mavlink 0.9 and APM is now using Mavlink 1.0, and they are not binary compatible. Until HK is updated you would have to use a FW version of APM that is based on Mavlink0.9, but that quite an old version now."
Elliot replied to cxgiacomo's discussion Not getting any data readout with APM 2.4 and latest HK lite"Do I need to use Mav 0.9? If so then do I need to downgrade my firmware by doing the APM Setup (Plane and Quad) using the Mission Planner 1.2 mav 0.9?"
Elliot replied to cxgiacomo's discussion Not getting any data readout with APM 2.4 and latest HK lite"I seem to be having this exact same problem although I'm finding it difficult having read through this thread to establish what exactly the issue was and the steps to resolve it?

Elliot posted a discussionOnly getting warnings on MinimOSD
Hi,I've recently installed a MinimOSD which I've set up and flashed twice, it detects the heartbeats and looks ok for a few seconds then just puts up and overspeed warning.I seem to be able to cycle through three warnings including overspeed and battery by using left and right aileron, am I doing something wrong.. Why does the main screen dissapear?ThanksSee More
