Hello
For last year or so I have been using 2.9.1b branch for work im doing where the ardupilot serves more as a sensor board and safety pilot. I wrote some basic code to send the sensor data over uart2 using custom messages(not mavlink) using Serial2

I'm using ArduCopter 3.2 on APM 2.x HW. I used autotune to autotune my PIDs and first they looked good, so I saved them. After analyzing my logs, however, I see that I do not like the new PIDs after all and I would like to revert them to the o

I have an F450 with APM 2.6 running v3.2, with the DJI Opto 30A ESC's.
Since these ESC's are preset at the factory to have a predetermined PWM range, what might be causing the one ESC to be the laggard? That motor starts at about 22% thrott
