8 or 9 Ch radio recommendations?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Chris Oct 21, 2011. 8 Replies 0 Likes
Hey guys, I am in need of your input. Can anyone recommend a good quad / octo rotor 8ch or 9ch radio receiver combo? I need to get one right away and figured I would reach out to the community for…Continue
Sonar reads off?

Reading the Sonar works for your altitude for <10 feet right? After that the baro takes over. In the APM I see that when I lift the quad over my head I still read like 1m or 0m. Any thoughts on…Continue

Hey guys I am using the arducopter 2.0.48 release. I have enabled the sonar in the APM planner hardware config. I have booted into CLI mode and went to test >> sonar. If the quad is on the…Continue

Hello all. I have my quad flying stable right now. I am working on getting missions to work through the apm. I click on the flight planner and set a "Take off" event to 10 (meters right?).I then…Continue

Ruben Wijnhoven replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"An other problem is wat I suspect to be the built in error correction in the mb1200. Pls fly for about 15mins with alt-hold on on your quad lets say 20m away and back. and so on and so on. Then after about 15min the sonar will be completely off and…"
Heino R. Pull replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"Andrew,
I read your other thread more closely and I have a better idea of what your seeing. I think though that the MB1200 is the recommended sensor for most users and I can see needing scaling of some sort particularly for other sensors that…"
agmatthews replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"Heino,
I had the same thoughts (that it was ok to have uncalibrated sonar) until I checked the alt hold code. It uses the absolute value of sonar range and blends it with barometer data. If the sonar data is off then the blend point can be quite low…"
Heino R. Pull replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"Ruben,
The sonar seems to be one of the hardest things to get working. Many issues are related to the fact that it is a a tricky sensor to get a clean signal from. I spent 3 months trying to get mine working and it is a real challenge. The current…"
Ruben Wijnhoven replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"I noticed one other strange problem. If you go in Cli test mode and lift your copter it wil go letś say to 1.56m and then ik wil jump baci to 80cm and will climb again from that value. That also happens in flight. YOu alt hold ond lets say 1.80m…"
Ruben Wijnhoven replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"I am having the exact same issues with my mb1200. It sometimes even causes for the quad to drop in hight. Pls fix this issue. It has been driving me nuts for the past week. The sonar should be accurate by 7,5m according to the spec sheet. If you use…"
I.S. replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"Agree, but sonar accuracy is needed for optical flow stabilization (in the future)"
Heino R. Pull replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"There is no doubt that the sonar's absolute accuracy varies quite a bit - but on my quad I'm not too worried about it since it's only used for transmitter switch triggered alt hold. In this model you only care that the sonar's…"
agmatthews replied to rileyporter's discussion Sonar reads off?"All,
I've done some analysis that may show why this compensation is needed

Chris replied to rileyporter's discussion 8 or 9 Ch radio recommendations?"I have used almost nothing but Futaba since I started RC cars a .... well a few years ago (I would say my first car was a grasshopper II, but that would be showing my age)
currently I am using a Futaba 10C as my main radio with a 9C as my…"

DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner replied to rileyporter's discussion 8 or 9 Ch radio recommendations?"Didnt think so.
But you dosell them dont you?"

"Hi Riley,
I would also add on the Futaba front that I have used them for more years than I care to recall, never had an issue with them so would recommend them without issue.
Bitter Dave ;)

DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner replied to rileyporter's discussion 8 or 9 Ch radio recommendations?"I loved my Futaba 8FG until a few weeks ago when the throttle pot started to be noisy four days out of warranty. Was charged nwarly £50 by Ripmax UK (uk distributor and repair centre).
Speaking to them on the phone they didnt seem to care at…"
