Hi All,

I have a strange problem ( at least strange for me).

First off all i am newbie and i just bought apm 2.5 kit. I installed on the plane as you can see at attached picture.

I powered up plane connected to mission planner and make a Manuel leveling ( its taildragger )

after couple minutes or if i touch any cable or if some cable move (something like that) than

at the mission planner air craft rolling and turning. Is there any hardware failure or software bug

or did i make anything wrong.

Any help appreciated.

thank you and have a nice days.

Aytek.

Sorry for these newbie questions, but I saw one shurtcut on these pins. ANY APM 2.5 owner would you please confirm it is ok ? do I have to re solder these pins ?

Regards

Aytek.

Sounds like possible bad solder joints on the input or output rails, or shorting on the rails. Check the solder joints on all rails and also check the solder joints on any other areas you may have touched when you built the kit. inspect it closely to make sure you did not leak solder across multiple pads and create a short or bridge.
