I was wondering if anyone had any success uploading the newest helicopter SW. I believe V3.0.1 according to the MP. It appears that in any mode I put the helicopter in it will not send the signals to the servos other than holding their trim value. Th

I would like to properly document the individual PID settings on the latest code, with a "plain English" explanation of what each parameter does. Partly for my own education (To be able to support the ones I sell), and to perhaps make a WIKI

I've been testing the airframe post compassmot and it's flying well - managed quite well in loiter in a moderately windy day here. Definitely twitchy, but held it's position well - and after a one hour warm up on USB, the baro was holding it'

I'm planning to build a hexacopter and trying to find some motors which will provide good efficiency. The up in air weight will be around 3.6 kg(600-900g frame, 6x150g for motor + esc, 800g battery, 500g gimbal, 500g camera) give or take a few hun

Read more…Hi all. Trying to tune in my APM 2.0 with V3 firmware for Alt Hold for a customer on my custom, folding, 400-size quadcopter. She oscillates (vertically), then gently starts dropping until it lands.
I've tried some of the tuning tips, and reduced the

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
