"Hi Craig,
Many thanks for your reply. Have you ever started a mission by setting the first WP as takeoff? Wouldn't RTL do the trick by landing the copter?
I had a very unpleasant experience with my drone the last time I tried to fly a mission; the…"

This is probably a very stupid question, but here it goes:How do I start a mission in mission planner? Do I need to arm the copter myself? Do I need to set the drone to auto mode for the mission to start?All the guides explain how to plan the…
Hi everyone,I'm trying to catch up with this HUGE learn curve for drones and ardupilot complexity.My hexacopter is flying very well in LOITER and ALT HOLD, but so far, checking the logs it looks like it is overpowered.I think it is good that the…
"Hi Tobias,
Yes, it is true that I made a 'big' mistake building such monster as my first project.
The thing is that the drone is a secondary thing, my project is a multispectral camera and I needed some good payload."

"Hi Fnoop,
It's a Tarot T960 (almost a meter in diameter), Motors are 400 kv, and props are 16"X5.4.
I also think that this might not be the sole cause of all this performance. What else comes up to your mind?"

"Hi Fnoop
I did the motor test this morning, and I had all my motors spinning in the correct order. I think my problem right now is that props might not be completely flat. The motor mount of one of my arms is slightly bent up, due to one of my…"

"I don't really mind outsourcing these type of things, I don't really have time for them. All I want to do is to fly a camera that I'm prototyping.
I'm in Cambridge, UK, so if you are close let me know."

"Hi all,
Thank you for the responses. I did have one ESC connected in the wrong hub. I managed to go to the park and test it; it didn't flip, but it tends to go more to one side and when I pressed the throttle to take off, it started oscillates…"

"Hi Stephen,
Thank you for the time and effort. It is very weird, the motors and esc are wired according to this diagram

"Here is a video of the motor test. I am confused as to whether they should have the same order as the one in the pixhawk. They don' have any correlation whatsoever with the pixhawk.…"
Hi all,I know that this is a very recurrent question and I apologise for any redundancy.I assembled recently a Tarot T960 frame, T-Motor MT3514 400 (X6), T-Motor ESC 40a (X6), emax 6 axis power board, Pixhawk, 3DR GPS module(X2), 3DR telemetry…
"Hi Thorsten,
Powering the camera from the main battery should not be a problem. Synchronization with the main PA is something that can be done, but since I don't have one, I can't really comment on that.
The raspberry Pi Zero does not have camera…"

Hi all,I just wanted to see/read your impressions about this simple camera I have created to do some simple conservation related/work. The multispectral camera is based on the compute module of Raspberry Pi. Uses two raspberry pi cams with a M12…
