Sebastian Gralla replied to Fouad's discussion Did I lose my APM (ArduCopter crash recovery )"relay is not used in current code... (I use it, but it doesn't matter)"
Fouad replied to Fouad's discussion Did I lose my APM (ArduCopter crash recovery )"Thanks for your support.
I only have basic soldering skills, I tired my best to locate any another loose component but did not find any.
I checked VDD (pin 9,19 ) and they have good 3.1 volt , also the ground pins are connected.
I do not have an…"

"Kamil is right--sounds like the crash broke one gyro solder connection. A hot air gun treatment might fix it...."
Kamil Rezac replied to Fouad's discussion Did I lose my APM (ArduCopter crash recovery )"Check if there is no short between gyro output lines... Also check the power for the gyro. Then I'd try to resolder the gyro (i.e. mask the ramaining of the board with aluminum foil and use hot air)."

Hi,I started off with an ArduCopter , it took me a while but after I linked the three PID to three RC channels I finally got it stable in the air.My PID where 3.20 , 0.32 , 1.11.I'm using 9ch Radio, CF2822 motors, 20A ESC towardpro, 1047 propellers, 2200 3s and 1 CM square tubes all from HK. Length was ~ 60 CM .After using it for at least three to four times, the airframe collapsed in midair (It was one faulty motor) , and it fell from around 10 meters high.Besides the crashed frame, I…See More
Fouad replied to Brett Glossop's discussion Can anyone suggest a good path for 5.8GHz tx/rx for UAV telemetry?"I had bad experience in this subject using similar combination, here is a reference to my previous thread:

Fouad commented on Jose Julio's blog post ArduIMU Quadcopter part II (mini)"Thanks Yun.
I shifted all receiver channels to PPM encoder mapping by one (RCV ch1 = PPM ch2 ,...)and added one line in the code and it works now. (by the way max number of channels = 8)
I'm still straggling with the tuning. Although I purchase…"
Fouad commented on Jose Julio's blog post ArduIMU Quadcopter part II (mini)"Looking further into it , it seems that it is hardware failure as only ch1 oscillates:
I got these readings while I pushed ch1 far right

Fouad commented on Jose Julio's blog post ArduIMU Quadcopter part II (mini)"Jose,
First of all thanks for this very nice and easy quadcopter.
I followed up the instructions and built one large quadcopter (linke in first post) but used Quad1_mini_20.zip
I'm using Spektrum dx6i + ar6110 + PPM encorder from diydrones…"

Mark, Chris:
I already purchased 900 series, this was based on your earlier warnings “thank you” never too late to correct , but I hoped that I still can use the 2.4 for something. I guess…"
