Scott Reid replied to Anthony Schnabel's discussion quadcopter not level in mission planer hud"It's fixed in 2.9.1.
I found that I had to manually zero out the roll and pitch trim parameters once after upgrading from 2.9.0 and repeating the level procedure.

Scott Reid replied to Scott Reid's discussion Diagnosis help - minor crash in the group ArduCopter User Group"I do have a DX8 with one of the recalled #s. I bought it on eBay from a seller who said it had been to Horizon and back for the update (I don't any any reason to disbelieve him, nor to confirm as far as I know), and I am using a HobbyKing…"
Benny Simonsen replied to Scott Reid's discussion Diagnosis help - minor crash in the group ArduCopter User Group"Allen,
I guess it's the problems that is described here: DSMX and DX8 Recall (includes some JR transmitters)
If I understand it right there are two unrelated problems. Running DSM2 on some transmitters (thats what you can see on the label)…"

"Scott,
Yes. I've certainly read a few times about xbees interfering with the receiver signals. I've heard it less with the 3dr radios but I'm sure it's possible especially if they're…"

"Eagle,
The fix for the futaba issue is very new so it's very unlikely that your 2.5 has the updated ppm encoder. I think apm2.5s shipped from 3dr will have the new ppm encoder on them from next week."
Allen Bishop replied to Scott Reid's discussion Diagnosis help - minor crash in the group ArduCopter User Group"I have had similar issues in the past and recently found out that there were a batch of Spektrum DX8 transmitters that had to be recalled. In the battery compartment at the rear of the transmitter, beneath the battery pack is a lable with…"
"Hi Randy. That is the question I'm asking myself for the past weeks... Do I need to upgrade PPM encoder? Is APM2.5 have the latest version?

"Yes Scott I'm using the satellite antennas on the AR8000... it is installed not far away from the Main..... it should be far as possible but hey! there is some spaces that we can use :) I don't think it is related. I have…"
Scott Reid replied to Scott Reid's discussion Diagnosis help - minor crash in the group ArduCopter User Group"@Will - After I brought it in and bench tested (with the same thing happening), yes, the bad signal on the mode channel did send it bouncing between loiter and into RTL modes (I have RTL at the highest mode slot based on how my switches are…"

"Looks like you've done some good diagnosis of the problem. I guess I'd recommend disconnecting the telemetry and see if the problem improves. It could also be a very uneven power supply I guess.
Maybe try moving the rx further…"
"Hi Scott, I should bring my laptop to the field in order to capture the data and plot some nice graph like you did. I'm also using a DX8 but with a Spektrum AR8000. My last crash was also bizard..... After I tested…"
Will Snodgrass replied to Scott Reid's discussion Diagnosis help - minor crash in the group ArduCopter User Group"That dive that channel 3 took could have triggered the failsafe, so it's possible that it was attempting to RTL. The GPS your using is usually accurate to about 1 meter, so that could account for the distance it traveled. Check the Log and see…"

Diagnosis help - minor crash
Hi all - Took my newly-completed quad outside today for it's first outdoor hover testing.. It's been working perfectly indoors (tethered) for tuning and setup. Everything started out fine, GPS lock, telemetry ok, armed successfully in stabilize mode. Immediately after arming, it climbed about a foot off the ground, slid about 8 feet an crashed (broke 3 props, no major damage). Radio was unresponsive. I never moved the throttle stick.The "cause" of this event is evident in the logs -…See More
Scott Reid replied to Jim Stricker's discussion Still missing something in setup…"Do you have "Simple" mode checked in your flight modes? You might want to un-check this while testing. It translates pitch and roll angles depending on the heading (yaw). This had me confused for about an hour until I…"
