Hi, I observed some strange behavior today on my quad.  While in auto mode, the APM seems to have reset itself and tried to start the mission over in a new auto mode.The dark purple shows the first auto mode, ascending from near the take off location and hitting the first few waypoints, indicated by the pushpins.  The light purple was identified as a separate auto mode in the kml log file, with no intermediate flight mode between the first one.During this time the quad was in and out of RC…See More

Replace accelerometer or get new APM?

Hi folks, I'm relatively new to RC aircraft with 3 months experience. My goal is to have a low cost, reliable platform for aerial photography of forests which I can do on a weekly basis for my research. I've gotten a lot of valuable advice from this forum on how to operate my Arducopter and I'd like to share my issues now so hopefully everyone can benefit from a solution. My current setup is:- Next Level 650mm Hex-Copter Frame Kit- 1 x Flightmax Zippy 5000 mAh 4 cell 25C battery- APM 1 board,…See More
