the openpilot board I have is very smooth and wobble free once the PIDs were tuned. My APM2, OTOH is giving me more of a challenge. I just cannot get rid of the bounce without the controls feeling…Continue
APM2 strange behavior

I took my APM2/Y6 out for its maiden today. At first, it seemed ok, a little wobbly, but this is only with a few PID iterations. Something just doesn't feel right though. After some forward flight in…Continue
APM2 stabilization model

Was wondering if the APM2 stabilization model shared any fundamental concepts with the open pilot model? Or is it an evolution of the 1.x model?Continue

chris g replied to chris g's discussion anyone have an OpenPilot and APM2"i would recommend flashng the escs with the simonk firmware. my quad flew noticeably smoother. i had good success with APM1 but i have not even gotten to the gps stuff on the new board. still focusing on the flight characteristics"
Virgis replied to chris g's discussion anyone have an OpenPilot and APM2"I have hard times setting it up too.
Using 750kv rctimer motors (tried with 3s or 4s without any big changes).
20A rctimer escs. Mounted in Hexa frame, 11x5 props.
and can't get it very stable.
What do you think of flashing custom firmware into…"

the openpilot board I have is very smooth and wobble free once the PIDs were tuned. My APM2, OTOH is giving me more of a challenge. I just cannot get rid of the bounce without the controls feeling like mush. I was wondering if anyone with both boards have gotten them to perform the same? The only thing I can think of is that I reflashed the ESCs on my openpilot board with the simonk fw. The APM2 has the non flashable silabs ESCs. If I can get my APM2 flying as smooth as the OP board, it will…See More
chris g replied to Steve Castano's discussion Motor redundancy..... Y6? X8? Hexa? Octa? something new?"If you want redundancy, Y6/Hexa is not recommended. If you lose a motor you will lose considerable lift. I have built quads, coax quads, hexas and y6s. The only configuration that still actually flies very well in a motor-out scenario is the coax…"
chris g replied to chris g's discussion APM2 strange behavior"ok, somewhat comforting to know that i am not crazy. will try adjusting the stabilize PIDs as suggested, as well as better mounting. thanks!"
James replied to chris g's discussion APM2 strange behavior"i have been struggling with the same behaviour on my hexa with v2.3 - impossible to hold an angle against the wind and pronounced "rebound" after forward flight. for me the key to getting it stable has been setting stab_d to zero and…"

Johann Van Niekerk replied to chris g's discussion APM2 strange behavior"HI Chris
just off the back off that comment when will the APM 2 be released with 90 degree sideways headers ? its all good mounting the APM 2 like in the manual but in the last picture how must we get the servo wires plugged into the board ? there…"
