Noob IRIS flyer here,
When the stock failsafe voltage is reached and I recharge, I'm putting way more than 70% back into the battery. Does anyone have a link on how to change the battery failsafe to 3.7V?
Thanks...
Ross
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
yup, you will need mission planner, droidplanner may work, but i'm not familiar with it. (droidplanner's the tablet/phone version of mission planner) You would connect your iris to mission planner, then change the parameter. I would use the USB plug directly into the iris as opposed to using the 900mhz telemetry module.
At first it can seem huge amount to take in. But if you just go through step by step as you run into problems it wont be hard. This is such a capable platform that there is going to have so many features that you wont need and options that you wont use, so just stick to the learning the basics of the pixhawk first.

Have you used mission planner before?
I _think_ this is a parameter. Through a GCS you can connect the Iris and view/modify the current params.
heres a good list of info specific to the Iris:

here's the 'wikipedia' of the pixhawk flight controller in your iris and mission planner:

I'm sure you mean this, but just to double check, you mean 3.7V per cell yea? because 3.7V on a 3s lipo would be a bad day for your iris
