Hi guys,I'm trying to use a Canon S100 on my quadcopter (DJI 450 stock with APM2). (It's the only camera I have that is light enough, also I wanted to have the GPS capabilities inbuilt)I don't need…Continue

Hi guys,I crashed my quad today, it flipped over on some fine sand and for some reason the motors didn't stop turning and kicked up a whole lot of sand all over the quad. This lasted for a minute or…Continue

Ervine Lin replied to Richard Boyhan's discussion Change Yaw in Flight or at a Waypoint"Thanks! This can be quite useful.
Just wanted to clarify, do you know if the yaw will remain when the quad will flies to the next waypoint? (So the quad flies sideways or backwards) Or does it just turn at the waypoint itself?
Also, to what…"
Ervine Lin replied to Dave Whittington's discussion How do you get Mission Planner to startup with the Flight Data windows in the position that you last shutdown"Yes please tell me there is a fix for this!
While I appreciate being able to rearrange the windows, everytime I place everything nicely the new layout isn't saved. Very vexing!"
Ervine Lin replied to Ervine Lin's discussion Can compass be compromised by external factors during flight?"Compass offsets in the tlog? Okay let me go see if I can make sense of it.
I just took the repaired quad out to my usual flying field today and it flew just perfectly. Auto, alt hold, stab, loiter, everything worked as it should have. Rock steady…"

"yes that iron rich area can be a far-fetched but it is possible. Is that reason in here, most likely not. It might be a some strange software bug or something else. If you have mission planner logs, check compass offsets on the time when it…"
Ervine Lin replied to Ervine Lin's discussion Can compass be compromised by external factors during flight?"I doubt I was anywhere near any iron rich areas. I was near small satellite dishes and household TV antennae but I'm not sure if this could have affected it.
Yes it was the first time flying in this area, I tested the quad multiple…"
JDronesJani Hirvinen replied to Ervine Lin's discussion Can compass be compromised by external factors during flight?
"It is possible to have external forces that will affect your compass. This can happen especially close to mountain areas and other massive Iron rich areas. There are several areas in world that you can have sudden 90 degree error on your compass…"

Hi guys,(Posted this as a reply in another thread but I wanted to ask specifically about the compass)Last week I had a really scary crash, my quad was running in autopilot and suddenly decided to take it's own route. Within seconds and before I could react, it was completely off course and out of line of site.As a last resort I activated the RTL failsafe and surprisingly the quad made it back but it was flying backwards, unfortunately it fell out of the sky before I could land it…See More
Ervine Lin replied to Fête Mobile's discussion RTL Error - Drone Flies Away at High Speed Instead of Returning"This looks familiar, although in my case my quad was running in autopilot and suddenly decided to take it's own route. Within seconds and before I could react, it was completely off course and out of line of site.
As a last resort I activated…"

Hi guys,I noticed that on some of my auto missions, my quad flies to the way points just fine but it occasionally flies towards some waypoints at a slight angle.Meaning the front of the quad doesn't face the next WP. Instead the quad is rotated 20-30deg but makes it to the next WP in this rotated position.I need it to fly straight as I have a fixed front facing camera. Its quite frustrating to have my photos tilted off to one side even though it flies in a straight line.Hope this makes sense.…See More
Ervine Lin commented on Kur's blog post Sonar ALT_Hold Issue"Just to clarify, where exactly is earth on the APM2 board? Just any negative pin or is there a particular place to earth it?"
