Selling my APM 2.0 Mega on Xaircraft X650 Frame with Gimbal
Hi guysDecided to abandon and sell my APM 2.0 mega purple on the Xaircraft X650 frame with gimbalI had it all tweaked so RTL and position hold were acceptable but after a couple of updates I never got round to tweaking it again and now I decided to try I let the planner do an update now it won't run because the .net 4 framework won't install on my laptop so I have no APM planner software that I can use and I can't be bothered (more into planes now)Anyway, here's a vid or two of when I had it…See More
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Damn, thought I'd solved that, it seems that adding the extra weight is placing the motors/props under so much more stress that they're vibrating (the tiny vibes without the weight are exagerated with the weight/stress)
I think…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"OK here's a log (I think), not really figured logs out very well"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"OK, I'll go out to generate a log file
In the meantime here's a video from earlier

Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Well my alt hold was far better out in an open field
In my garden although the blue light showed a 3D fix the logs showed that the GPS location was jumping around by about 2m
In the field it was much better
However, having added about 300g it…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"OK guys
Very happy with the tuning on my 650 quad BUT...
I've now added approximately 300g of weight in the form of a gimbal and compact camera
Can someone give me a clue where to start on the tuning, it still flies in stabilised mode lovely…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Cool, finally managed to get out to an open field to test the new firmware and have to sy that despite the wobbles I was getting in loiter mode the accuracy of both loiter and RTL was infinitely superior, very pleased with the results even in a mild…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Thanks Peter
Very good point regarding using the 2.0 in the plane etc
I may well adopt that idea immediately as I have no problem with my plane GPS being 10m out as long as it's not more than 50m :)
Cheers"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"I don't know how to upgrade the GPS module if that's what you mean
Didn't really look into it any further as someone else already tried that and it made no improvement
What't the rough ETA on 2.9.2 ?"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"OK so it seems I wasted my money on the APM 2.0 with ready soldered on GPS and I'm going to have to either abandon the APM or buy an external GPS and disable the on board one ?
I've yet to test any other features like RTL, weather…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"I have my APM 2.5 mounted on one (not yet flown) as I bought one to replace my RVOSD G5 on my Super Skysurfer
It should work fine as long as you make sure to have plenty of slack in any cable going to the APM (an "S" bend in each…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hey Leonard
I have tried setting Loiter Rate D to zero, it had little to no effect
I'll have to try the systems in a more open space, failing that then I have to assume that the built in GPS is useless
With the old firmware the…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hi Bill, forget the Rate Loiter P
I tried mine at 2.0000
Seems the twitching/jerkiness occurs whenever the multi tries to get itself back to the loiter centre position, adjusting the P value just allows it to wander a bit more so it gets…"
Terry Brooks replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"OK, did you get a chance to view my log ?
If so how does it look ?
Or are Graham Dyer's comments correct in that it's a known issue that will be fixed in 2.9.2 ?
Thanks
Terry"
