"Not going to buy a 2560 since I've pre-ordered two APM2 purple boards! But the wait is killing me!
I take issue with the idea that "nothing can be removed" -- my 1280 worked great with logging just a few months ago (and had been doing…"

Can't get "LOGS" command to work in CLI

I did my first flight of my ArduCopter 2 with APM 1.0 last week (after a 9 month off and on build with my son).It all went pretty well, only a few broken blades, but it did stabilize pretty well.To…Continue

Don Brooks replied to Rick B's discussion Can't get "LOGS" command to work in CLI"There really is nothing that can be removed. If there were, then I'm sure an option would be available instead of it being hardcoded to force logging disabled. A 2560 board is only ~60$, and all other addons remain the same.
I just did mine…"
Aaron Curtis replied to Rick B's discussion Can't get "LOGS" command to work in CLI"Wow, this is disappointing. Guess I will go back to old firmware. There must be something that could be axed from the code in order to get logs working again."

Rick B replied to jasonshort's discussion Arducopter 2.1.1 alpha"Isn't that why it's called "LOITER" and not "POSITION HOLD"?
With GPS, you will always "wander" around a point, I think that's what the software guys set it up as so that you would loiter 5 meters around…"

"Get rid of the connectors and hard solder the wires together.
This has fixed both my AC and a brushless buggy the kids got for xmas.
It will take you 30-45 mins for an AC, but it was serious peace of mind for me.

Rick B replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"Yes, that's how mine are setup now."
Gareth Rens replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"Im not sure about your setup, but mine is as follows:
Soldered onto the wires coming out of my motor are extension wires that run all the way down the aluminium boom and come out of the hole on the side of the boom under the "dome".
Onto…"
Rick B replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"Thanks for you help, I'm new to all this soldering stuff.
So when you say to solder them to the wires from the motor, do you cut off the barrel connector on the motor or leave the barrel connector on and solder that to the bullet connector?"
Gareth Rens replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"I use bullet connectors and they work fine. Just make sure you solder them! Dont play with them, SOLDER the biatches!
Logic is the best problem solver. If the motor doesnt work, plug it into another esc. If the motor still doesnt work, its the…"
Richard replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"I personally would just take out the motor and try it by itself... With that, you will know the answer pretty much... Meaning, if the motor doesn't work by itself then that is the problem... If the motor does work, then you have more to…"
Rick B replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"Should I solder the connectors instead of using the bullet connectors?"
Gareth Rens replied to Rick B's discussion Help diagnosing engine problem in the group ArduCopter User Group"Either vibration or faulty motor."

"This is usually caused by vibration affecting the bullet connectors.

Then the left engine (in plus configuration), dipped a few times,…See More
