"Hi guys,
would a magnetometer help in this situation:
Wind from the north with 15m/s
My plane is south of its launch position.
My plane has a cruise speed of approx.12m/s (no airspeed sensor installed).
Obviously in manual mode it can…"

Hi,Is this normal?When booting up in CLI mode (slider towards servo connections), I ran a test of the GPS. Result is the attached image.After a while it shows the correct coordinates.I assumed it…Continue

wolfgang replied to Craig Evert's discussion Helicopter Stability"Hi Craig,
Maybe this advice is not appropriate for you, since you apparently hovered already and didnt crash :)
...BUT, imho beginners should not start hovering at 1-2m altitude just to avoid the ground effect; chances for a decent crash are so…"
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion the influence of wind"Hi Michael,
below is my APM_config.h (I know, there is no need to insert defines for which you dont change from the default, but I want to play around with all parameters - later - so I just added the entire list)
I want to test it with a…"
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion THROTTLE_SLEW_LIMIT"Hi,
I am not a programmer, but I ran a search for "throttle_slew_limit" through all APM-files and noticed it is not used in the code. This explains, why it didnt work :)
Then I downloaded the ArduPilot-software to check and…"

"What gains where you running? Ive flown in conciderable wind and not had that much of a problem.
Both Navigation and Servo gains?"

"its mainly vibration you want to avoid. when it falls to 0 it means there is no gyro drift corrections. this is ok for short periods. but shows there are other vibration problems. I would balance your prop. it will probly fix the problem.

wolfgang replied to Alexander Casassovici's discussion Stylish quadcopter frame design"very elegant, no grass-landings/takeoffs with this beauty, i guess
i have no clue about arducopter frames... will the ring around the props not cause resonance/vibrations ?"
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion interpreting a log file"Hi,
Where does this noise come from ?
purely mechanical reasons (like turbulence or vibrations from an engine) or could this come from an electric field (too many electronics sitting nearby - camera, bad speed controller,...) ?
Once it falls…"

"imu_health is just a metric usualy indicating how much noice there is in the accelerometer data. it will move around in flight normaly, but should not sit at or near 0 for extended periods."
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion how do I upload code ?"thanks so much, that's what i needed to hear.
It just sounded strange to me, that I had to delete "my settings" whenever I want to change some parameters; but as you mentioned, there are ways to keep this to a minimum of work…"

"Hi Wolfgang,
Great to hear that you are up and running!
When you do the reset you wil need to do the radio program again, it only takes a few seconds when you have done it a few times. I think I can do mine with my eyes shut now…"
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion how do I upload code ?"Hi Martin,
that works :)
does this mean I have to do a factory reset every time I want to upload new code ?
and program the mode switches again ?
I would also have to reprogram all the changes done via the planner tool (I guess they are lost after…"

"Hi Wolfgang,
What happens when you reset the board in the CLI window, "setup", "reset" and then try it again?
Regards
Martin."
wolfgang replied to wolfgang's discussion how do I upload code ?"Hi Christof,
yes, it says "done uploading", but my code consisted of...
LOG_GPS disabled
LOG_ATTITUDE_FAST enabled
...and that is not executed.
regards,
Wolfgang"

Everything looks good, code loaded. Now where is your problem?"
