Hello Everybody,It seems that I have a problem with my board or there is something I am doing wrong. I am finding that maybe 20-30 seconds after arming my tricopter and giving it a little throttle it…Continue

"Justin have you checked how all other channels are behaving with Mission Planner or at CLI? So is it only throttle channel issue or more wider issue. At least this way you can see if your THR is slowly dying by it self."
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Well, it seems that Its still problematic. Although I believe that now it is powering down when it encounters this issue. Therefore, The PPM update seems to be kicking in and detecting the missing throttle signal. Does this mean that the problem is…"
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Awesome, thanks man. I ended up putting 2.68 on there. I'm waiting for my battery to finish charging and I am going to go for another round of testing."
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"How do I check to see what version of the PPM encoder is loaded on the board? "
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"You know, I never realized that it is a clone. I got it off eBay so yeah, I guess so. the GPS board is purple and the main board is red. As for my Turnigy 9x I installed the mod board form smartieparts, re flashed with er9x and installed the FrSky…"

Here is a video of the behavior I am experiencing. It seems that the blue light on the board blinks when I try to make changes to the input but the throttle stays at what it was last."
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Is it possible that the tail digital servo connected to APM out rail is causing brown outs?"
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Thanks for the videos! Actually I have been checking them out recently while trying to sort out this problem. I believe in your post you were trying to say that powering from a BEC vs the ESC is more reliable. I have added a 10A BEC set to 5.4 volt…"
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Something about having the props on and being outside is causing this to lock up. It also never seems to get a GPS lock either. Could it be trying to get a 3d fix and its locking it up?"
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Well from what I can tell the Thr IN and Throttle Out match for the last log all the way till the end of the file. Which is what it seems like it was doing."
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"I have pulled the logs, but I am not sure what I am looking at. I'm a little new to this platform."
Mike Boland replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"Start by extracting the logs from it and look at input versus output.
Might be something as simple as loosing the RC signal.
But until you have the logs it is pretty hard to say offhand what might be causing it."
Justin Schneck replied to Justin Schneck's discussion APM2 Throttle Freezing"So I was doing some research and I am experiencing the same issue as the "i2c" bug. Funny cause the frame of the entire Tri is carbon fiber. I am running the latest version of arducopter though? do I need to do anything else to fix this?"

Hello Everybody,It seems that I have a problem with my board or there is something I am doing wrong. I am finding that maybe 20-30 seconds after arming my tricopter and giving it a little throttle it becomes unresponsive. The APM board remais running and is not rebooting but the throttle stays constant and I can no longer control it. Every time I bench test, it works fine, once I put props on it and take it outside, it does this. I have to chase it down if I was doing a maneuver or try to grab…See More
Justin Schneck commented on Jay Bryon's group 3D Printing Drone Parts"Hello everybody, I've created an adaptor plate for the APM 2 board to fit on a talon tricopter frame mounting system. I've also added some zip tie spots for attaching my receiver to the bottom of the plate. Hopefully you like. I'm in…"
