John Whitney replied to John Whitney's discussion Poor alt. hold is auto mode in the group ArduCopter User Group"Well now I have no señor data in terminal or MP. It allows me to arm the board now, it wasn't for a while. I've had enough and ordered a Naza With gps today. And when I start my octo build this winter I'll prolly get the woo…"
Yangbo Long replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"Try upload the firmware using the mission planner, instead of the Arduino IDE. You might get it working this way."

"Sounds like the board got damaged in the crash. "
John Whitney replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"I uploaded the firmware as well with no change"
John Whitney replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"Yes, there was no sensor data movement there either."
Todd Hill replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"This happened to me a few dats ago. The HUD showed nothing, but they were working in the terminal. I reuploaded the firmware and was good to go."
Todd Hill replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"John, did you test the sensors in the Terminal?"
John Whitney replied to John Whitney's discussion all sensors are zero??? in the group ArduCopter User Group"I'm using 2.8.1, and bought it in august. It has been flying fine, and I have had very few problems considering the issues other people have. I did have a strange rollover and crash a few days ago. But I fixed it up and things where fine…"

"What code are you using? If the latest, contact customer support from the store you bought it from.
(Also, did you solder on the connectors yourself? If so, check for shorts)"

John Whitney replied to ronang44's discussion Sonar not working"Could u explain how you set up a separate power supply for the 1260? I am getting 4.87 volts at the sonar, but it doesn't seem to be working. In the terminal screen test it shows a constant 438cm.
Thanks"

In Alt hold i can fly all around the field at a pretty good click, and it will hold alt. within a couple of meters, even when i stop it stays close. Close…"
Bob Roach replied to John Whitney's discussion Poor alt. hold is auto mode in the group ArduCopter User Group" Perhaps your barometer is getting faked by higher pressure when travelling at higher horizontal velocity. A test method to see if this is happening would be to set Alt Hold mode and fly manually at high speed …"

Im flying a QAV500 quadcopter for a couple months now with the apm2.5 on 2.8.1 update. I've had a lot of success I think with this product, and every flight is a learning experience. Most of my problems I've found are operator error because I'm new to all this PID tuning stuff and fpv. I think I've got my copter tuned in pretty well except for one thing.
