APM v2.5.4.
I don't understand some strange motor behaviors.Maybe it's PID issue? Without touching or moving quad I could notice two oposite motors slow down rapidly after few second. Quad tries to turn fast in Z axis. It happen itself only under a

I updated to MP 1.1.73 and Arducopter 2.5.4 this afternoon. My copter is now flying a lot worse. Immediatley wants to yaw left and right and is very jittery. I thought I forgot to load the default para file for a 3DR quad so I went ba

Read more…I went out the other day and had a 28 mph wind gust and the quad flew and tried to keep up the best it could. It landed successfully on its own and I was amazed. Yesterday I went out and the wind what right at about a constant 10mph wind and it jus

Read more…In MP, I can see my radio input is working fine. However, it seems it doesn't control the quadcopter's aileron and elevator at all, when I increase throttle it just lift off and drift away. Rudder control is available though.
Any idea?

Can I control separately with the APM2 8 engines for Ardu Oktacopter-X
and if so what is the assignment of the output channels?
Thank you for an answer.

I observe strong camera-servo oscilation, only when the throttle stick is in the middle position and the motors are armed (instead of ESC i plugged 4 servos and they are undisturbed). Annoing! I tested on BEC 5.1 and 4x NiCd 4.8V and discovered tha

Read more…By convenience of USB connection and ease of layout on the quad, I always put APM on the side. The orientation is aligned to the direction of the quad. If we need to consider the center piece, Gyro is the one in that position. Is this correct?
