Tom replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"OK,
so I'm going to have to eat my own words a bit. Turns out that I didn't have the correct setting for my Dec in the APM. What I was putting in was the radians not the Dec. For me (Near the Kansas City area) it is +1.5012. What i…"
Tom replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"I have set my dec per what I could find through google maps, the web, etc. The heading will hold all most true when I'm in either Alt Hold or in stable flight (with in 1 deg or 2), So, I'm not sure that is the cause. That being said…"
Glenn M replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"I'm pretty sure that this is caused by your compass declination needing adjustment. I've had the same issue with mine. The declination from the website isn't quite correct.
You can map a pot on your tx to tune declination…"
Tom replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"I'm having a similar issue with loiter like this... My problem is that I can never get it to "set home" and constantly have to give it input via the sticks to keep it from flying away. Strange thing is that if I…"
Dennis Spanogle replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"It is my understanding that if you jog the loiter off (right,left,forward,back) and then let go of the stick then it should loiter at the "new" gps position. I observed that - did not read. I had your problem (bigger and bigger…"
Marco Mueller replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"Compass offset should be fine.
What I observed is, that everything is fine as long as the copter does not get too far away (like not more than 2 Meters) from its loiter point.
If I give it some stick to the right so it is more than 2 Meters to the…"
Warren Purnell replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"I find that I had problems similar to your when my compass hadn't learnt it's declination. This though was more the quad heading off on it's own direction.
Having the Loiter Rate set too high seemed to give the spiral with increasing…"
Marco Mueller replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"Hi,
I am on 2.9.1b and COMAPSS_LEARN is set to 0.
My LOITER_LAT_P and _LON_P is at default 4,5,, I = 0,04 and D = 0,4.
GPS HDOP was between 1,5 and 3. Sky was / sadly is cloudy."
criro1999 replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"What Arducopter version? 2.9.1b? others?
How is your Compass Learning param?
For 2.9.1b try to have compass learning disabled.
let us know if works."
Marco Mueller replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Loiter issues - big circle"Hi, I experienced nearly the same behavior, but circle movement was slow and narrow in the beginning, but was getting faster and bigger. If I put the copter in a steady hover before I activate loiter everything seem fine, but if I activate loiter…"
Geir Engebakken replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Problems comnnectin with 3dr radio - did work previously"Indeed, fiddling with the connector to the APM resolved this issue, great! But this make me wonder if the connectors are not stable enough, and maybe should have been soldered......
Thanks"

Geir Engebakken replied to Geir Engebakken's discussion Problems comnnectin with 3dr radio - did work previously"I did. I upgraded firmware to latest 2.91 and upgraded MP to 1.2.35, but have the same problem. Over USB cable it works ok!"

"@Geir,
Try updating to the latest MP (1.2.35), that might help with your Mavlink issue.

Been away for a ehile due to winter, but was thinking to start out again. Have a new PC with win 7, so inserted 3dr radio, and it was detected and firmware installed. Downloaded MP 1.2.32 since I have 2.8.1 on arducopter, and it installs ok. Now I try to connect over COM8 - 57600. Mavlink connects and it just hangs on getting params.Error says 44 packets were received but no parameter packet were received.Entering 3dr config show all fine on local and remote, so they seem tyo work, what can…See More

Fant deg her på diydrones og lurer på om du har arducopter? Jeg prøver å kartlegge antall piloter i Norge for
å skrive en artikkel om dette.
Også skal vi i løpet av året organisere en arducopter / uav dag og du er kanskje interessert?
