"In my case above it was a poorly trimmed airplane. As an old RC guy who learned on sailplanes I always trim so the nose slightly falls. I fly with back pressure on the stick. Not a good idea with a Pixhawk. Trim your plane in Manual mode so it…"
"Can you see PWM commands in the log? The plane is still intact after the crash. It is a flying wing. Both elevon servos and control linkages are good. Seems like something was lost between Pixhawk Desired Pitch Up and the servo. Also, since it's a…"
"The plane crashed in a field and rested over night with power on. Amazingly the lipo powered without completely discharging and damaging the battery. The Log file was 389 MB so I deleted the part where the plane was just sitting. The plane was still…"
"Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I don't see the uncommanded roll. Roll and Desired Roll are somewhat aligned. Pitch and Desired Pitch clearly diverge."
"Is this the right graph to show the roll? Thanks! Brian"
"Thank you Andre for the excellent analysis. I suspected mechanical failure. Please help me understand how you see the uncommanded roll in the log?
Thanks!
Brian"
Thanks!

"I've used analog air speed sensors on two different planes with Pixhawks. They work perfect. I sacrificed an I2C cable by cutting off the 4th pin. Then followed the instructions here: http://plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/airspeed/#analog_airspeed_sensor…"

I've been working with working with the KAPUAV script guy. http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=12398.0
He has modified the script so it flashes the Assist focus LED on on shutter open. I'm in the process of modifying…"

"I swapped the OrangeRX satellite with a Spektrum brand satellite. Same behavior. The Pixhawk and PX4 Compatible RC Transmitter and Receiver Systems Wiki article just discusses how you bind the satellite to the transmitter. All of that is working…"
"Thanks for getting back. The B/E error occurs on Pixhawk reboot. There are two data logs in the attached zip file.
77.bin contains the radio calibration. No error has occurred - yet. The Pixhawk will still output to the servo after the calibration.…"

I loaded Plane 3.2.3 so I could try terrain following. Everything seemed fine, no errors, but no output to the ESC or servos in any mode. The mode switch works because I can see the modes change in Mission Planner. I noticed the IO B/E Led was…
Hi,I have a flying wing with PixHawk "mostly" working. Sometimes it seems to have a problem with altitude when in auto mode and flying a waypoint mission. Here's what it does:Fly RTL mode OKFly manual mode OKSwitch to Auto with preprogramed waypoint…
Hi,I've got:APM 2.5 3dr airspeed sensor3.x firmwareCan't get the airspeed to zero even when pitot is covered. Tried the preflight calibration button but that had no affect. It fluctuates between 4 and 6. Any ideas how to get AS to show 0 on the…
