Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Adolfo Rodrigues's discussion Motor stall and crash. 3.3 rc8. What could have I done ?
"It does and I did all possible combinations. That particular esc has some problem unfortunately."

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Adolfo Rodrigues's discussion Motor stall and crash. 3.3 rc8. What could have I done ?
"I understand the magnetization but these motors had fly several times just with different esc and I just was not able to make the remaining 5 motors/esc show any kind of problems. Only that single esc showed problems with these motors.
How tha hell…"

Hi guys. This morning I had to reconfigure my F550. I needed the 40a 6S capable esc it had for a future Y6 build.I just swapped them for rctimer 30A 4S opto esc I had from another build. The motors are rctimers hp2217-930kv with 10x3.8 props so all…

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Tell me exactly what you want me to do during flight.
Another 2 min of loiter in the same spot and some cruising around again in loiter ??"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Didn't Rob explain its supposed to be like that? They are accelerometers after all and I really pushed the hexa to the limits so they are measuring the actual aceleration during maneuvers. The "grass" height is actually very consistent and within…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Here you go.
First couple of minutes it is hovering in the same place. Then you have some really easy flying in poshold and then some really hard poshold flying. You also have some full pitch forward, full pitch backward and also full roll left and…"

"When I have the time sure. I'll do 2 min of loiter and 2 min of aggressive flight."

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Thank you for explaining. The flight was aggressive and that was the point. To see if I have tamed the vibrations. So to be clear, when looking for vibrations the grass height is what counts and the waves are actual Gs from maneuvers, correct?

The…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Now that's a relief. I really did push it with full throttle and hard turns. In loiter/mission it will stay bellow 15 and my gopro footage has none to "you really to look for" jello. The start of the graph I posted, confirms bellow 15 while flying…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Guys... I need some clarification on my vibration levels. 
Do I have vibration problems ??? I do not understand if my graphs are dangerous or ok!
If I look only at the "grass" height I'm ok but if I look at -+3 and -+15 range i'm not. The waves in…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Dean Hitrec's discussion Attopilot 180 A, non linear voltage&current reading
"Tomorrow I have some testing to do. I'm going to connect my voltage divider to pixhawk and a frsky lipo sensor to the battery and see if they match while in flight. If they do I'll just continue using my voltage divider and stop using attopilot for…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Dean Hitrec's discussion Attopilot 180 A, non linear voltage&current reading
"I would agree with you if my own voltage divider behaved the same way and it does not. It gives the correct reading without and with load. The only diference I can think of is the point were it measures the battery.
The attopilot voltage divider…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Dean Hitrec's discussion Attopilot 180 A, non linear voltage&current reading
"God dammit I'm not alone on this. It has to be a bad ground reference or some ground loop while we have load. I already cut the attopilot ground trace so the ground comes from the pixhawk after the bec and attopilot shunt resistor but I still have a…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"The idea came to me because some users get that jump when they yaw and to fix they need to tune the yaw acceleration. Would be easier to do that in the air.
I was mainly talking adding the ch6 for the atc yaw acceleration only. The other axis...…"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Well since nobody asked this it seams.. why not let channel 6 tune atc acceleration values just like rates or stabilize?"

Adolfo Rodrigues replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Thank you Randy. It was an involuntarily change then, I don't know I changed it. I was only tunning the pids and atc acceleration values. After work I'll give rtl another try."
