Hey,
The same as topic... Do You do compass calibration before every flight in new place? Is necessary or only if You change configuration/soft in Your drones?
Greetings,

I'm having issues with my PX4-based quad. I get it armed and motors spin normally, they are all in the correct order since I get it off the ground more or less smoothly. I can get it off the ground and move it back and forth, left or right with so

Read more…Just my two cents.
To see what sort of power is given to the pixhawk when using the "provided" switching supply I place an oscilloscope to actually see what was going in.
Here it is:
Well I rather use a linear LDO than this. (But that is just me :-) )

If you have a Failsafe programmed into Pixhawk to come home RTL if signal is lost or jammed from RC Radio to Copter.

Is it or is it not possible to set a waypoint that is represented in the local frame? (for use with missions in auto mode)
I need to have them represented in the local frame as i will not have GPS position.

I'm building a Y6 and all goes well until I try to spin the motors up.
I'm using a Pixhawk and APM planner.
I've flashed V3.2.1 and selected the Y6 (X) frame.
All initial setup goes ok.
I can calibrate the ESCs.
Arming succeeds.
But - when I arm, motors
