I need help please. I have made a couple of custom hexacopters. My favorite frame shape is the U-shaped Hexacopter. Unfortunatley I am not arduino gifted. Fortunately I do have the DJI wookong. They…Continue
APM2 will not arm the motors until I push the reset button

Here is something confusing to me........ My APM2 will not arm the motors until I push the reset button. I use a 7.4v batt through a BEC to power the board. All of my esc's are opto isolated. I run a…Continue

For all of you Arducopter naysayers and frustrated builders I have one thing to say, stick with it. I was frustrated by my first arducopter custom quad build but now after owning a Hoverfly Pro FCB…Continue

For some reason when I load the latest firmware (Arducopter 2.0.49) using the latest APM (v1.86) downloaded from google ardupilot code when I try to change the rate roll and pitch PID's I get a…Continue

Forrest Frantz replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Super. I'll do one question at a time spread out over time to not overload you. I'll incorporate your answers into the Excel document to explain the process.
Question 1 concerns configuration control of the compiled code.…"
Rick replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"I can assist with the procedures needed to manually modify the source code. I've built a TBS Discovery type frame, and have hacked in my numbers to the AP_MotorsQuad.cpp library file. So far, so good ...
I've seen your…"
Forrest Frantz replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Wow. That would be great if that ever happened, but until it does ... I've read that with an Octa H, I can say I have an Octa V and that redirects the code to the add_motor_raw lines of code under Octa V. So I need to modify the…"
Rick replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"While direct access via MP to the pitch, roll, and yaw factors table would be nice, it is not currently possible. Currently, the motor mount tables are hard coded in the source code. The motor mount tables would have to be…"
Forrest Frantz replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Glad that the hexa V sort of works. If it doesn't work well enough, I can send you to the forum where a complete solution resides.
I've been trying to lobby for direct access via MP to the pitch, roll, and yaw factors table, which…"
Wayne Jones replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"The cure for an uneven hexa that may not be perfect but works. In the new Mission planner 1.2.44 yo can set up a hexacopter then choose the "V" frame instead of "X" or "T". It is not perfect but it works. I would rather…"
Wayne Jones replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Maybe this for writing code but I am a hunt and punch typest so I don;t write code. I did notice that on the Mission Planner, when I was flying a "Y" 6, there was an option to change the motor percentage for the top or bottom motor. I am…"

Forrest Frantz replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"did you ever figure out how to change the motor mixing for pitch, roll, and yaw?
i'm in the final setup of a custom octa-H and need to figure this out also."
Wayne Jones replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Thanks. I will give it a try this weekend."
Cliff-E replied to Wayne Jones's discussion Custom Uneven Motor Mixing"Look in the AP_Motors library. Should give you a starting place as you'll need to extend it for your frame type."

I need help please. I have made a couple of custom hexacopters. My favorite frame shape is the U-shaped Hexacopter. Unfortunatley I am not arduino gifted. Fortunately I do have the DJI wookong. They have a nice custom motor mixing table which makes any custom frame design easy to program, all you need to do is to write in the motor percentages.So my question is how can I change the motor power percentages in Arduino code to do this?See More
David replied to Wayne Jones's discussion APM2 will not arm the motors until I push the reset button"I did not have this problem until I changed my quad from + to x. I changed back to + and it worked fine again (both modes BEC powered).
Changing back to x and I tried powering from a 'dumb' usb power supply and the board still did not boot…"
