ESC Calibration, Again??

I recently built a Tarot 680 Pro hexacopter, but had to rebuild it after the PCB failed on me.  For those not familiar with the Tarot 680 Pro frame, it's a mostly a carbon fiber frame.  One plate on the body is a PCB however which is used to distribu

Altitude hold climbs suddenly??? AC 3.2

Flying in position hold today and I was noticing big fluctuations in my altitude hold. Sometimes the quad would randomly jump up 50Ft. Looking at the logs alt and dalt line up pretty well. But throttle in and throttle out doesn't seem in sync. When I

CSGShop NEO-M8N is giving PM errors??

Today I did a test flight before doing a mission. After switching to poshold, it began behaving erratically, twitching and drifting. I was able to land, but puzzled because there were no errors from the GCS.

Zubax gnss

Any chance that UAVCAN implementation is near for APM?  Would love to be able to have the Zubax with APM Planner instead of Qgroundcontrol.  The Zubax picks up more satellites in my house than my Neo M8N does outside on a clear day.

Droidplanner2 can receive data, but not send it

Hi all,

Bit of a frustrating one this one - I am using an HP 8 tablet, and can connect and receive telemetry no problem; but I can't seem to send anything to the APM2.6. Arm commands, flight commands, send waypoints etc, all don't work. They don't app

google earth flight path export and geotagging using the "wrong" altitude source?

Howdy All,

It seems we are not using the “good” data in the google earth flight path or geotagging process. As you can see in the screenshot below, “relative_alt global_position_int_t-R” provides excellent altitude data (better than 1m accuracy). Unfo

Esc with bec are good for pixhawk?

I was wondering if this kind of esc can be plugged in my pixhawk, I'm not using the PCB of 3DR so the three pin (ground, power and signal) goes directly in to my pixhawk.

Mission Planner takes forever to start connecting after clicking connect.

My mission planner v1 takes about a minute to start connecting after I click connect. I think it's related to me having quite a few com ports set up on the pc, as I have a bunch of bluetooth modules I connect to periodically. Is there any connection
