"I've never done it, but Acro mode allows some wild flights. You have to tune a bit to get inverted flight. APM is programmed mostly for stabilized level flight."

Tono replied to Murray Buchanan's discussion Issues Arming ArduCopter in the group ArduCopter User Group"In the Mission Planner, check the flight modes.
You need to arm the copter while on Stabilize mode.
Also, could be the trim in the radio? that has happened to me."
Tono replied to Cristian Rougier's discussion Motor spin slow than others in the group ArduCopter User Group"have you calibrated the accelerometer?"
Julian Daly replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi Tono
I've been using a 'normal' servo lead. I kept it as short as I could get it.
Reading the article from Chris he says that you need to get the stabilize working properly then move onto AltLock. I've only…"
Tono replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Ok, So I added the 100uF cap and the 10 ohm resistor, it got better but not enough.
Sometimes it keeps altitude, sometimes it just wants to go straight to space, it won't stop unless I switch modes.
Are you using the default Loiter…"
Julian Daly replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi Euan
I've tried to combine a picture and a diagram. I hope that they make sense.
I got the information from a really well written post from Chris…"
Julian Daly replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"It's late here so I'll do it tomorrow.
I'll picture but it's all covered in heat shrink.
I'll also draw a picture of how I soldered things together. I think it would make more sense.
Cheers

Hugues replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi Tono,
I share here my experience. I have used special EMI thermo shrink to extract from them the inside metallic shield. It is like fabric that I wrapped around the cables as shown hereunder. I purchased this at www.sertim.com (they do not have…"
Euan Ramsay replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi Julian,
Any chance you can post a pic of the resistor and capacitor kit installed?"
Tono replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Does ferrite cores help at all in this case?"
Craig Burden replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"If you can't find shielded cable, you can also plait your cables. It works very well and means you don't need to buy anything new"
Julian Daly replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hi Tono
I've just installed the sonar unit to my quad using the 10 ohm resistor and electrolytic capacitor. I went out for it's first fly yesterday. The only time I got any bounce was when a gust came through and the quad…"
Euan Ramsay replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"I used the shielded cable from maxbotix and still get "the sonar bounce". I'll be interested to see pictures of the resistor package installed and how it improves things."
Tono replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Thanks for the reply.
I'm going to check to the local music store tomorrow to see if they have something that could work.
The thing is that I would like to shield everything. The other day went to do some FPV and I was getting a bit of…"
Mike R. replied to Tono's discussion Shielding cables in the group ArduCopter User Group"Another item - if you can get some solder flux (anywhere that sells solder) dip the tiny usb wires in it, then heat them up with the soldering iron until the flux sizzles - then add solder - that may help solve your issue with soldering the tiny…"

My handmade CF quadcopter

Hi All,
I just wanted to share my experience from the last 1+ years improving my quad, I hope not to bore you. :D
Also, I am open for any cool suggestions from any of you.
The main objective until now, has been to build all parts needed for this quad by myself, to not to depend on spare parts that needs to be bought from Hong Kong…
