Hi,
The day before yesterday, the weather condition were ideal for testing the autotune as I updated the firmware to 3.1.1.
After the flight, back to my workshop, I left the quad on a table behind me.
In order to see the new PID, I didn't switch off th

I have a project that i need to control my Quadcopter equipped with PIXHAWK (APM Fw), over Mavlink protocol. Basically i want to arm/disarm , take-off/land and give directions to quad to follow.
I won't use real GPS or RC Controller in my project.

APM 2.5 is my best FC up to now. But when you get a lot of features, you simply want more ;-)
When I fly and want to record WP's, I flip CH7 at a momenta
Today i realised that APM does not detect Aileron, Elevator and Rudder signal lost. I made a quick test and there is no error message on the Mission Planner. Is this my lack of knowledge or there is no signal lost check on those signals?
Bests.

The only difference between the two APMs is the 2.6 does not have the GPS and compass?
