  • Problems/issues drone quadricopter using 2.5 AMP last step "SETUP ALL IN ONE ESC"

    I just finished calibrating the setup and installation of a drone quadricopter with APM 2.5. with Mission planner last version.

    How do the tuning "all in one of the 4 esc" everything works perfect truttle and left control of movement.

    But as I go back mode 'normal I have serious problems on the speed' minimum or zero drone quadricopter better with truttle a low position to zero.

    anyone has any suggestion?

    Thank you for vs time and congratulations to the whole community '

    Bye Paul

    PS ** I hope I have posted in the forum corrected the problem thanks again to all a good weekend;)

  • Hi all

    tks for joing me in this group

  • Hi all, I am starting a project where I want to add two pusher propellers to an X octocopter configuration.

    I wonder if anybody can give me his opinion on the feasibility of doing this on Arducopter.

  • Just throwing this into the mix here and I apologize if it is not the correct forum gents, but there is little time left to take advantage of this great offering. I thought it my duty to bring to your attention this invention from a German group of engineers that may very well put to rest much of FAA worries about LOS/ FPV and Drones falling out of the sky. Check this out. I signed up for an "Early Bird" of this device called the AP Manager (by Gizmotec) that combines two FC's of your choice (their test set up uses two Pixhawk, but it can be any combo, mix or match) and even if both fail it will still control a multirotor or fixed wing craft via the onboard Rx. Watch this http://igg.me/at/AP-Manager/x

    @Austin,

    Make sure that on the MP's radio calibration screen, the green bar for the pitch moves in the opposite direction to the physical stick on your transmitter.  If it moves the wrong way, fix it in the transmitter not by adjusting any arducopter parameters.

    Is simple or super simple mode active?

  • Pixhawk elevator/pitch reverse issue. I just can not get the pixhawk to reverse at all. reverse on my aurora 9 but makes no odds. pick up quad and aileron is fine when I lean it to the right the right motors spin up to relevel it same as when I do it on the left side. but when it comes to the elevator I lean it backwards and the back motors slow down. totally fed up and utterly confused. Can someone else?

  • Thanks mP1. Unfortunately we are leaving early Monday morning so I can't really get it quickly enough from Sydney.

    @David - do you have a web portal? I will order from you in the future.

    Hi Spencer,

    I have a heaps of black motor related stuff (i'm a 3DR distro).  Let me know if you don't have any luck elsewhere.

  • Ive got a spare entire black motor if you want it, in mybox of kool stuff(tm). Pretty sure it works.

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

Will AHRS_ORIENTATION=8 for Arducopter 3.2.1 on APM 2.5 using a traditional Heli

I have been Reading Chris Olsen posts and watching his videos on Arducopter with traditional Helis using a Pixhawk.I have inherited an older Trex 450 heli with the old Align 3G FBL hardware.  The FBL controller appears to be bad.  So I have an old APM 2.5 without a compass or GPS on board.  I just want to replace the failed Align 3G FBL system with the APM.Now I have to mount the APM under the skids on the heli so the APM will be upside down.I have Two questions.1)  Is the AHRS_ORIENTATION=8…
