Hoping someone is willing to help look into this with me. Today while flying around, my motors just cut off multiple times. First for very short periods (attached log #1), and lastly for almost long enough to turn my Y6 into a paper weight. Whe

It appears to have hung up after moving to the 3.x version of firmware.

I m posting here because for someone maybe this is trivial but not for me. I want to connect an rpm (revolution per minute) sensor to my ardupilot in order to be able to monitor my 55cc motor engine.
The problem is that its not complete

Just came back from flying field after a bad unexplained crash. it was a new flying wing airframe and started this morning by following the manual on roll/pitch and yaw tuning. First of we calibrated the Baro meter to report 0 meters on the

My project:

I got it light on the skids for a moment then carefully added a tiny bit more throttle when it s

I am at the stage where my plane is well tuned and I want to begin experimenting with Takeoff and Landing sequences. I can't find any good descriptions of how these commands should be setup for use with a plane.
Could someone please post a s
Read more…I'm new to the 3DR multirotors and their shaft setups, but I've already lost 2 props due to prop nuts becoming unfastened in flight. Neither led to a crash (thanks to the Y6's redundancy), but after the last one I was unable to find the prop nut.

I just got an external compass for my apm2.5 2 days ago because I had a compassmot interferences above 100% :(
I received it 2 days ago and installed it. I tried it with the apm powered by usb and everything looked good. I even did a comp

I couldn't identify the cause of the crash so what I did was change the wiring so peripheral devices wouldn't draw current through the APM but rather through a separate BEC off the main ba
Read more…Installed APM 2.6 on my quad, a fairly standard F450 setup except for 30A SimonK ESCs. It behaves very well and smooth in stabilize mode. However, as soon as I go to AltHold mode the motors start erratic revving, the quad generally rises around 1 m/s

thanks to this forum I was able to build my first copter. It is a Hexa +, with 360kv motors, 15*5.5 props, an AUW of about 3.1 kg, and about 30 min loiter time. You can find some more details on the Ecosynth webpage.
Basically, it now flies

One of the items was backordered, so I contacted customer service and asked for an estimated dispatch time. It was only a few days, so I was happy to

I am trying to switch from FrSky D8R-II Plus to a D8R-XP so that I can use CPPM.
I previously had six flight modes configured in my Turnigy 9X.
Now that I have connected the new RX and tried to use it I see that both

Just tried to configure my shutter. I'm using an opto-isolator with CHDK functionality. The idea is that I should be able to pull a pin high for a specified number of ms, configure a CHDK script to measure the time that it's raised and then tak

I've decided to give my first multirotor a go, a small X frame quad using the X230 combo from Hobbyking:
I have (I think) set it all up correctly, motors and props spinning the right way, done the ESC, magnetometer a
