I give up.

I think thats it for me with ArduCopter and APM 

after all day of testing and adjusting things like PID's etc and all day failing
(5 serious crashes) 

i think its time to hang up the boots, 

my copter flew brilliantly in manual mode but as soon as i tried to use anything autonomously it would just act up and fly around like it had no idea what level is.

attached is the last and final crash, which literally obliterated my copter and i have nothing left except a motor id say.

    There is a quick start guide here, which will help with settimgs up major firmware releases. See http://copter.ardupilot.com/ its improving often, so regular looks will really help

    For the external compass/mag see http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-installing-3dr-ublox-gps-co...
  • It also looks like you have not done the compassmot since you upgraded. The compassmot params all say "0" in the logs. Reducing interference is extremely important with 3.0

    Good luck-

  • The 'cautions' with the 3.0 release said:

    Warning #2: GPS glitches can cause sudden and aggressive position changes while in loiter mode. You may wish to reduce the Loiter PID P to 0.5 (from 1.0) to reduce aggressiveness (see image below of where this gain can be found in mission planner).

    &

    Warning #4: loiter turns does not maintain altitude. This bug will be fixed in AC-3.0.2.

    I noticed that you're loiter P was still 1.0. Where you in loiter during any problems?

  • is there any way possible i can go back to the 2.9.1 firmware? 
    3.0.1 has ruined me.
