I am up against troubles with Octa (octo) quad.
Motors 1-8 are triple checked, rotation direction & props according to this:

This is a discussion re the bad Accel, Gyro and Baro values that we're seeing with ArduCopter-3.1. The increase in the SPI bus speed from 500khz to 8Mhz has exposed a hardware problem on some boards. That hardware problem is that the 3.3V regulator

Read more…Hi,
I'm setting up an APM heli using a PX4 + IO, but I couldn't find any info of wiring. My setup is a 120 swashplate with a separate direct drive variable pitch tail, which means I have a normal tail servo with an extra motor at the tail to control.

Read more…Hi,
I have calibrated radio. In radio calibration: When I push right stick forward the green pitch bar goes up and shows pwm value 1940, stick in the middle value is 1520 and when the stick is pulled back the value is 1100 and the green bar is down. S
Read more…Hey guys,
I'm using the latest SW with my APM 2.5 (think it's 3.01) and I had a really strange auto flight over the weekend.
I've attached the log files, all the fun starts happening at 50%. I've been logging all of the parameters I can think of but no
Read more…Quick question hopefully someone can help with. When using APM 2.6 with an airspeed sensor and on an airplane is there anyway to just set the airspeed when flying in auto mode? For instance just say fly 30 mph. I understand that there is a cruise

Have a look at the release notes in the forum for lots of details on the changes in this release.
I'd also ask that you not reply to this posting, but instead use the new APM forums for discussion of the release.

Read more…The copter flies very good in calm winds. RTL, loiter, alt hold all perform nicely as well. In auto mode flight if their is much wind at all during forward flight between waypoints it will start bucking. Sometimes it gets past it but yesterday I thin
Read more…Just got an APM 2.6 which I cant get working with a futaba 2.4ghz receiver. The APM works with up to 3 channels connected to the receiver when I connect channel 4 the APM locks up. I have three receivers and get the same problem with them all. I also
Read more…Hi All,
I am nowadays coming across air frames, which host motors "at an angle" to the normal (i.e. 90 degress to earth's frame of reference).
In my understanding, this allows the vertical force vector from the rotors to be angled differently contrary

I have everything working except alt hold. I can't find a combination of gains that work. It always oscilates.
This time, I put it in loiter, it was stable for about 2 seconds, but when it

please suggest any modem you know that meets my requirement.
Thanks...

Read more…a few weeks ago I began messing with using a bike rim as a multi rotor frame.
I was surprised at how well it worked, and I invite any of you out there to confirm what I have found.
This is the way I see it, please correct me if I am wrong.
