I am trying to do some bench testing indoors. I can not get the Pixhawk (v3.3) to arm no matter what I try:
1) Disable prearm checks
2) Make all flight modes non-gps modes
3) Change GPS_TYPE to zero (meaning no gps)
4) Change AHRS_GPS_USE to zero
Aft

Kinda of a silly thought, but since I own a Phantom 3, and a Pixhawk-based hexacopter (that normally uses 3S batteries), I was thinking it would be nice to consolidate my battery purchases.
Of course the P3 battery is about $140, and I can buy equival

I fly in mountainous terrain in New Mexico.
I'd like to ensure that my F550 reaches a waypoint altitude before moving on to the next waypoint (more important of course flying UP along rising terrain than the other way around).
Couple question
I am having a problem with a flight plan.
I created a flight plan in Mission Planner flying up along rising terrain...out and back down...using altitudes where I would clear the terrain by 350 feet.
After I upload the flightplan to the Pixhawk, and the

In other words, if I call for 15m/s and the hex c

I have a Pixhawk connected to a 3DR telemetry radio and a Minum OSD, using the Telem 1 and 2 ports, and I now want to hook up the FrSky/Taranis telem adapter board.
Do I need a telem y cable to make this work?
What is the best way to hook up t

Just wondering...
If I run autotune a 2nd time, does Pixhawk start over from scratch using some default PID values as a starting piont?
Or does it start the 2nd autotune flight using the current (already autotuned) PID's? And if so, what the

Looked everywhere, and tried several methods to get the radio fail safe to work with the Taranis X9D.
I am of course trying to get the PWM of the throttle channel below the PWM in the radio fail safe box, so that when the radio or receiver fai
