I have been tuning a hex X with 2.5.5 and things have been getting better. I did a loiter test today using sonar and it held very well. I let the machine sit for some time to get the best GPS resolution it could. I added simple mode and it worked well. I did an RTL and it did well landing within 10' or so of arming. When it landed, it flipped with no obvious damage. I went back to stabile mode and rearmed and took off again. If acted uncomfortabely pretty soon. I started trying to get it stable and even went to RTL. It would not respond to ban/roll commands. It eventually went in and flipped. I've broken enough stuff to need to help the Chinese economy. It was doing so very well.

Now, my plea for help. I use the CLI so I'm familiar with that. I just need some help in identifying the last log and downloading it. Also, would that log have started from the most recent arming????? I would like for some of you experts to see if you can glean anything from the "black box" I don't want to have to rebuild this thing every third or fourth time out. Thanks for any help anyone will offer.

  • If you use the CLI, you just hit enter 3 times to enter the command menu.

    "help" will tell you the available commands at any menu.

    Then "logs" will get you into the logging menu.  Type help, and you can show and dump the right logs to terminal.

    You should also check to see what parameters you were logging.  That can make a big difference in what you're able to determine.

    Do you have radio telemetry setup?
