Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am very excited to experiment with the UAV space.

"@Randy You say "We've actually recently modified the log analyser to be consistent with the flight code so that it checks that the overall length of the three together is less than 500"
Is that the log analyzer in Mission Planner?"
Is that the log analyzer in Mission Planner?"
"If the offset for compass2 were unset (0) how would that impact flight?
I am trying to understand how 3.2 uses both compasses. At the same time? Chooses one over the other with some algorithm? Uses the external unless it becomes disconnected?…"

"Can the Seek stream video at all or just record for review after the flight?"
Hi,Could someone please look at my dataflash logs? My first impression was that the crash was caused by an ESC/motor failure of the pair off channel 1 due to Arducopter maxing out channel 1. But after bench testing all motors/ESCs it appears that…
"I wanted to look at the tlogs only so I didn't have graph in Excel.
Dataflash log’s COMPASS message hold the compass’s raw x, y and z axis values (called MagX, MagY, MagZ) which are equivalent to the tlog’s RAW_IMU xmag, ymag and zmag fields. It’s…"

"Has there been any further progress with this idea?"
"Hi,
I do not see the compass interference problems like those described at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E0jKcuMRWA , but your problem sure resembles compass interference as described in the docs.
Hopefully someone else can add some analysis to…"

"Can you upload the flight's telemetry logs? This resembles the "toilet bowl" affect caused by compass interference."
"Paul, thank you for the advice. I replaced the aileron servos and re-tuned via autotune. Last night I successfully flew multiple waypoint missions with no problems."
"I don't think this was a stall spin because it doesn't match your video. The plane is mostly level during its decent. I am posting another graph of the rcout, can someone tell me if this is showing a cause or the APM trying to recover? Is the…"
"Thank you. I have posted a screenshot of the roll, pitch and yaw. It seems like yaw changes drastically shortly before I had the spin problem?

I think what I am experiencing is called a stall spin. This happened in auto mode while the plane was heading to a WP when the plan starts spinning in a very tight loop and drops altitude. I had the sun in my eyes and could not spot the plane and…
"Hi Kevin,
You were correct. I was switching Planner's trying them all and realized that some use ASL and some use AGL. I think I have this problem resolve, now on to the next one (My next issue I believe is called a spin stall)
Thanks!"

"I think this might be a result of Droidplanner using ASL and Mission Planner using AGL. I will know more when I try again tomorrow."
Hi again,When I select auto mode my throttle is completely or very completely cut and my plane starts to drop altitude until I am uncomfortable and have to hit manual mode to recover. I have attached my logs and hopefully someone can take a look. I…
"Thanks for all the help. I had the elevator reversed in the APM settings. I was using APM Mission Planner and didn't see the options for reverse when calibrating my transmitter. Once I switched to Missino Planner and went through the setup again I…"
