THR_MAX is no option any more for my solution...
My fold... I didn't see yesterday that the last update from this WikiPage MAVParam is 8th Sep 2011 !
So a lot of things are changed now.
Any way... Thanks to all…"

Is it safe to set THR_MAX higher as the default 75% ?

Hello Guy's,With my Hexa (flying with APM2.5 V2.8.1) I need more power to lift the complete setup.(total weight is about 3Kg)Is it safe to set THR_MAX higher as 75% ?Or will this make some more risk to hold the Multi in level in Stabilize_Mode and other Flight_Modes ?If this is not the best solution, I will have a look for some other props.With best regards,MartenSee More
Marten replied to Mark Slater's discussion Comments Please..."Hello Stephen,
In Mission Planner they telling something about "Adjust P by motor size" for Angular Rate Control.
(see my screen-shot)
If I'm looking to the motor-size at this Octo, I think the motors are not that small !
So thats…"
Marten replied to Mell's discussion Relay or making one pin 5v on 2.5 Ardupilot"I think your int sec=0; position is not correct !
This things must be done before void loop() and are also done in a for statement.
A better place is to put them somewhere what is most closed to the goal...
I would place it in System Timers.

Marten commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"Hello Tom,
Yes that's the way how it works."
Tom Griep commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"I am assuming that the Nano reads the pins from the APM and then blinks the LED's. Is that how it works?"
Marten replied to Mell's discussion Relay or making one pin 5v on 2.5 Ardupilot"No problem dude :-)
For me it's also still Trail and error :-)
The reason why COPTER_LEDs need to be disabled is this,
in the system.pde you will find this:
#if COPTER_LEDS == ENABLED pinMode(COPTER_LED_1,…"
Marten commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"I don't get a schematic at this moment.
But it's a easy setup with the RGB led's and the Nano connection.
Here some pictures from our self designed PowerBoard and the Led's:
I hope this will give a better idea.
Later I will…"
Marten replied to Mell's discussion Relay or making one pin 5v on 2.5 Ardupilot"It isn't that simple...
AN5 is used for the COPTER_LEDs !
I think this will work when you add this in APM_Config.pde:

Tom Griep commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"Do you have any Schematics on how this is all wired up?"
Marten commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"Hello Oliver,
I didn't modified the on-line sketch.
I've downloaded this .zip file: http://arducopter.googlecode.com/files/ArduCopter-2.7.3.zip

Oliver Sumpton commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"@Martin: very cool. so you're modifying led.pde to indicate 3 different modes to your Nano using two APM pins, or something like that? (side note: i didn't even know led.pde existed, so thank you for that :)
It does seem to…"
Marten replied to Mell's discussion Relay or making one pin 5v on 2.5 Ardupilot"Hello Mell,
I found this in the system.pde:

This is Digital pin 47
In the Eagle files I could find any…"
Marten replied to Mark Slater's discussion Comments Please..."I think your Roll/Pitch rate P is set to high !
I've used these PIDs for a Hexa setup, with a total weight from 3Kg:
I think you can start the Roll/Pitch rate P at 0.110 and go step by step higher."
Marten commented on Marten's blog post Navigation Lights with digital RGB LEDs together with an APM 2.5"@ All,
I forgot to tell that we hopefully can let it work with a MavLink communication to our Nano or other Arduino based board !
If we understand that protocol better and it will work:
This will make it a lot of easier, because we don't need…"

Hello All,
First I will say, Great job guys (developers).
And now....
I like to show our setup with AdaFruit digital Navigation RGB-Led's:…
