Hi all,

I'm doing all the necessary experimental flights in order to register it with my aviation authority.

During the hovering duration test (endurance) in loiter mode, I noticed that the relative altitude on APM Planner (Mac) in 30 minutes raised from 0,4 metres up to about 11 metres, despite I kept the AGL altitude between 1 and 3 metres.

Can you help me understanding why this happens? It's not the first time.

  • 3DR Pixhawk
  • Copter 3.3
  • uBlox M8N

Thanks.

  • Are you kidding me ?

    :) 

    it's holding altitude just fine, that is, except for now-and-then RC input that commands it higher, ...

  • You're right, sorry. Here we are with the correct BIN file.

    Please allow some minutes from this message to finish the upload to the Dropbox folder. It's 21 MB.

    Thanks for your support.

  • The attached log is 9 minute (not 30 min flight)

    you flew for a short while to 39 meters, going there does not seem to have uswd lots of throttle.

    All seems "normal" , in terms of barometric pressure vs altitude,  - so unless you actually like the log says, then you build is doing seriously bad stuff to the air pressure around the pixhawk. 

  • Didn't know that the BIN was better. Sorry, beginner's error :)

    I attach the file. thanks.

    3.BIN

  • much better, and RAW sensor data is in the .BIN, also, at much higher rate...  maybe you can find that ?

  • You're right. Here I have the tlog only.

  • I would guess autopilot got bored.  - In case you wish something else than stupid guesses, you need to post .BIN log.  :)
