hello guys!
I am using a Flysky transmitter + receiver combo with an APM mini V3.1 in mission planner.
The combination works fine - most of the time.
Sometimes however, there seems to be a problem where either
- the transmitter sends bad signals
- the receiver receives the signals poorly
- the FC doesn't react to the reciever properly
The effect is that my drone reacts on the signal in a delayed fashion and it doesn't respond properly.
I included a graph of the throttle channel in time, one where the problem occurs and one where it does not. You can easily notice the jerky/blocky response.
This has so far only happened directly after startup, but I am scared this could happen in the air aswell..
I have not been able to recreate the problem.
Does anyone have an idea how to narrow down the problem?
Thanks in advance!

I have found out that the receiver fails when high currents are drawn.
During my last flight, I punched the throttle, drew 90A, and the quad just kept going up and up without reacting.
I did manage to land it luckily...
This happens when I hold it down too - I even get baro errors in both cases (?)
SO, does a high current induce signal loss?
how to get around this?
I really need some help!
I found this thread...

I remember I had a similar issue... the cases of the motor connected to the phase -somehow- causing currents through the fibre.
At that point the receiver didn't work at all.
Now i insulated the motors from the frame. I guess there might still be leakage.
Why however does the receiver fail due to currents in the fibre?
Anyone ideas?
