  Good Day All, I am setting up my first Arducopter it is a hex with hardware V2.8 running 3.2.1 firmware. When I test the motors the the Arducopter outputs don't match the motors.The motor plugged in to output 1 should spin whing I select Test Motor A a in the Mission Planner as I understand it. Instead Moter 5 spins. Am I missing something?

  Thanks

    I worked through this on my hexacopter. ArduCopter's numbering of the motors is very specific, not a circle but three diagonals. 1 is the right side, 2 is the left, 3 and 4 are opposite, 5 and 6 are opposite. If you don't have them wired this way the Motor Test in Mission Planner would act that way. Also, it probably won't fly right. May just flip over and try to dig to china on you the first takeoff.

  hello fellow pilots.

  Has anyone heard of a aerial mapping system called VMAP?

  I have read that tower companies are starting to use drones to inspect and map their towers.

  open MP then press control F and the select Param Gen on the left. 

  close it and MP. Open MP and connect to your APM and all the drop downs in flight mode should now be populated.

  Asif what FC do you have?  I have an APM 2.8 on my rover and I had the compass jumper in the wrong spot, I had the same issue where I couldn't calibrate the compass.

  I think there is a paperclip reset hole on the side of the pixhawk.  That should do it.
