Do you have suggestion how to calibrate current for the power module? When I add throttle to add current flow for the measurement, copter thinks I want to fly and adjusts throttle by itself. That makes it impossible to get valid current reading for calibration. How to keep throttle stable?

that's what I'm trying to do. But it's not possible because pixhawk controls the throttle and it raises throttle constantly if I apply tiny bit of thrust above the idle. And idle is not enough.
Watch again. At about 3:37 Randy mentions that he has flipped the props over and moved each one- one arm. This will make the machine push down to the floor. I usually put a piece of tape on the landing gear just to keep things from sliding around.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I have flipped the props. But I was not able to add throttle.
However I managed to circumvent throttle problem by setting mot_spin_armed to 200. That gave me constant throttle after arming to calibrate the current monitor.
