This is a discussion to focus the feedback and support of ardupilot on the PixRacer board from AUAV.co.
We believe that all teething problems encountered are now resolved and so we recommend people load Copter-3.3.4 which is available for all multicopters through the Mission Planner's (and other GCS's) Install Firmware screens. Note that because regular Pixhawks are still on Copter-3.3.3 the install icon may show Copter-3.3.3 but rest assured, Copter-3.3.4 will be installed (you can check the version by looking at the very top of the Mission Planner).

Did they fix the alt_hold issues? It was still too unpredictable for me to fly w/ last weekends master copy..
I never saw any acknowledgement of my posts about it.. other than someone else saying they have the same issue even on pixhawk.
Hopefully it stops raining today and I can try it later....
Not, sure since I have not tested it intensively so far. I did a rock solid 39 min Loiter and a short mission. All fine. I hope to find time to test it the next two days.
My new Pixracer controller fly's today in a HK dead cat quad. After a week of learning Q-Ground control and Mission planer, twirling and rotating it around trying to calibrate the sensors it finally gave the thumbs up to arm and test fly.
It fly's very well. Looking forward to further configuration and experimenting with all the systems.
I'm another happy pixracer owner here and I just recived :D :D :D
Now time to build ;)
Sorry guys, I never downloaded nothing up to beta firm and I don't know how to download a master firm :(
How I can do it ? I go to Github https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/ArduCopter but not shure what I have to choose there, then I copy in my pc and upload with custom firm no?
Now works Ctrl Q too :)
Type ctrl+Q
But now we have AC 3.4 rc1 when you click on beta firmware.
Thank's Thorsten, I try with Ctrol Q but nothing happens, but I try again with beta if it's now in MP :)
"Error updating firmware no response from board" in two pc. the board connect well and show params.
After tree chances, mission planner suggest to unplug the board and re-plug and there it works and upload the firmware.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
But I believe the standard channel 1-6 outputs will work fine.
The power rail is not connected to the pixracer.. only to each other.
So, you need your ESC or a separate BEC connected to one of the channels supplying power, and the other 5 channels are in parallel.
