Hi,
Is there a way to mount the IMU's on the outboard portion of a multicopter frame, rather than the center? I want to build a copter that's just a hoop, with no structure in the middle, but I would then need to put motion sensors on at least three
Read more…Hello,
I'm using a Pixhawk in a custom modified QuadH2O drone with DJI ESCs and Motors. I've noticed that upon arming, the motors spin as desired, but they begin to creep up in speed. This is fine if I want to take off and raise the throttle, but shou

The only ports that's getting +5v are Telem#1 and the Power port. This is whether I use the USB port or battery(4S).

I'm in the research stage and still reading. I'm looking to build something with decent range, FPV, lift a kg or two and be able to land on water. I was thinking of something in the 500mm range.

I live in Australia and urgently need up to 6 PX4Flow Cams (I need them within the week). Does anybody have one that's in working condition that they no longer require or would be happy to loan?

Read more…Hi,
I currently have my Pixhawk setup with an optical flow camera. Sometimes when arming in and out of Loiter (optical flow enabled) the ESC do some weird calibration and it then takes more than 50% throttle to even spin half the motor.
Has anyone else

Any idea how the Pixhawk mounted on a flying wing will behave when flying a mission at very high latitudes (~ 80°). Due to the proximity of the North pole, magnetic compasses are usually no longer reliable. Since the Pixhawk also includes
Hi
I would like to know if changing the axis of the normal gimbal controllers will work. Here is just a quick mock up of the question. Would the maths change for the state space model or not? I've got this inkling that it might but I am not certain an

I'm having a strange issue over months: My tricopter spirals down in midflight, often after flying a circle.
Often it does two spirals and comes back to normal flight, sometimes it spirals down. Sometimes the receiver failsafe warning goes off,

We have tried various different options, but the multicopter doesn't turn, it just reaches the waypoint, loiters then moves on.
This is how we have been experimenting with the f

In the Optional Hardware>Camera Gimbal setup window I have RC9 in the tilt (I'm assuming that's the Aux Out 1 of the PixHawk) and it works, but how do set another Aux Out in the Pan drop down?
Is RC10 Aux Out 2?

I've tried searching, but only found vague references to Pixhawk 2.

There is a reading but it isn't constant. It 'scrolls' from a maximum of about 135 through to a minimum of 3. and switching off the Tx has little effect. An
