Hi all,
Yesterday I went to the field to do my 1st flight and autotune the PID gains of a custom frame quadcopter.
The configuration is 'X' and I use Pixhawk with APM Copter V3.3.3. 30A ESCs with D3530/14 motors, 7x4'' 3 bladed props and a 4S 5000mA Li
Greetings,
I have been developing a quadcopter from scratch for a while and I am really at the edge at the moment. The reason is that I just cant find the correct values which will make it stabilize and Control Theory is not my background.

Hi! Does anyone know how to link the PT4 remote control to trigger accessories (such as an attached parachute)? I guess, to put the question in another form, is there a way to read/learn the transmitted PT4 remote control signal, for instance, the "s
