I'm documenting the build here http://www.maciej.se/T810.html but will also update in this thread.
Currently the frame and legs are assembled and I hope to be able to start with the electrical part this weekend.

Not very much new... have uploaded Arducopter 3.2 to the pixhawk and configured the 6-pos switch so it's working fine now, a calibration and a curve to tune PWM output was needed.

Finally, I've been up in the air with my Tarot T810
Need to fix the pitch since it is reverted and start with tuning.
Some more info and vibration graphs, http://www.maciej.se/T810.html#maiden
Have done some more modifications, added LEDs on the legs, zener diode and more

Calibrated the SimonK ESCs today with the Pixhawk, went quite smoothly, made some test afterwards and there doesn't seem to be ay sync issues :-)

Have connected 3dr Radios and been working on calibration of my new gimbal... Alexmos 32 isn't easy to get working properly.

The build continues installed a PDM today and hope to be able to solder all the cables tomorrow.

Have now soldered the ESCs, power cable and step down modules to the PDM, will just test everything so I don't have any shortages and cover the solders with liquid electrical tape, should finally be able to start to configure the Pixhawk. ArduCopter 3.2 is supposed to be released this weekend so I will go with that version.

The power module if finally ready, motors are connected and the Pixhawk is mounted. Now I can start to configure the Pixhawk.
