"Abbas,
I also experienced this problem. I was trying firmware 3.3 after upgrading from an earlier version, on a genuine Pixhawk, some time back. After much searching I found a discussion telling the inquirer to reload the software by first loading a…"

"I put a genuine 3DR APM 2.5.2, that was collecting dust, into my Quanum Nova to replace the factory APM that was in it. (The factory stuff requires custom versions of copter) The Loiter/AltHold pulsating started as soon as I upgraded to 3.2.1. After…"
"I just got one as well. I am surprised by how fast it is. It is also a blast to fly."
First a little background, my quad was flying perfectly with APM 2.5 (Genuine 3D Robotics) using 3.1.5. After a while I began noticing all the uproar about the new Pixhawk hardware being much more robust and decided to give it a try. I purchased a…
"I read a post by Randy saying the PPM Channel Mapping issue would be resolved before 3.3 went final. Does anyone know if that is done?"
"Maybe not everyone would consider it a bug but the problem of ppm channel mapping is still on the table and for some of us that is a real issue when it comes to Pixhawk. I've been playing the APM/Pixhawk game for a couple of years now and my APM 2.5…"
"Does anyone know when the RCMap issue might be fixed? I know Andy said "soon" but was hoping someone might be able to narrow it down a bit."
"I just ran into a strange issue on my Pixhawk (Genuine 3DR). It's been months since I last had time to work with it and decided to try out 3.3 as I needed a good challenge. I previously had been running 3.1.5 and everything worked fine. Since I am…"
"Normally this is cause by the failsafe position of the receiver. Spektrum/JR receivers set failsafe when the binding process occurs and once the aircraft is fully set up and trimmed, you redo the bind process so the receiver sets the new positions…"
"Graham said it and I agree, correctly configured and with enough reserve power on board it will fly thousands of miles to a waypoint and return safely to the launch location if programed to do so. That is, of course, assuming enough reserve power on…"
"Hi Shyam, I have a post in another thread where I make a reference to this exact problem. My particular camera is the one I use for FPV and is a SecurityCamera2000 PZ042 board cam that has been put into a metal case also sold by SecCam2000. The cam…"
"That steel screw attaching the Mag to the GPS is probably the source of the problem. See if you can find a fastener made from nylon, aluminum, titanium etc. Some stainless is non-magnetic but not all stainless is. Any ferrous metals near the…"
"I have not been billed for mine yet. As I understand, I will not be billed until the merchandise is actually shipped. I live in the USA but I am not sure how it works in other countries."
"@Robert I owe you my sincerest apology. I did misunderstand. Also, I was unaware that anyone other than beta testers were getting the Pixhawk before us who preordered. That is what was indicated to me and that approximately 90 per day were being…"
"Mine bounces between 2 and 3 when on the ground regardless of what steps I take. My understanding of the wiki is this is normal behavior. When I fly it is steady at whatever speed I am flying at. Sorry I can't be of more help."
