Does anybody know what the pid adjustment would be for what seems like pulsing motors in alt hold?
All works well and in stabilized all esc/motors work fine, very smooth and controllable-Thanx to the developers!
Sonar is active and it looks like its

In the Mission Planner, you could achieve this by defining zones (an area you can

To verify the the 5883L was a good unit, I ran the Compass Library test program comparing the 5843 to the 5883L . Both the 5843 & 5883L reported about the same number (~ 180) for a heading of South.

I've test to 3pcs ardu board, I use hexa and qc config
1. Hover mode is ok
2.I move it fast forward. After 10meters, the quad have yaw problem, the qc spin (about 90degre) by it self, And then it stop
I found these motors on hobbyking. according to the description they have been designed for quadcopter use. link
I also know the motors for arducopter where also specifically designed for quads
So what makes a quad motor, a quad motor?
