"Bradley, I think that answered the question, ESC sounds dodgy... not sure I'd trust my quad using it 400 feet up...
As the old wise ones say....."problems that go away by themselves, tend to come back by themselves"..."

"All of the ground signals should be connected together anyway because most ESCs will have this connected to the -ve wire of the ESC input - these should all in turn all be connected to the same -ve terminal on the battery pack... worth checking that…"
"I am about to solder my Attopilot volt & current sensor and saw your post..... I am a bit confused....
I was under the understanding that the voltage input to the APM board should come from the V sense pin (between the Gnd and I pin on the sensor…"

"OK I take my words back... it is definitely realted to my XBee modules...
I disconnected them completely and put a USB to TTL cable/module on the telemetry port and connected to the MP software... no errors at all!
I am using the XBee Pro Series…"

"As a further update to this, I have found that I AM losing some information in the lost packets... I will often not get a GPS fix although the LEDs on the APM and GPS show that I do have one... then when diconnecting over the telemetry port and…"
"This is a very similar problem to what I am experiencing... see the discussion I started yesterday
My problem also occurs with incoming packets and only when connected via the XBee port (although I have proved it is not the XBee modles)
I am…"

Hi there, I am hoping someone can help me with this... I have my APM board hooked up to the GPS, magnetometer, XBee and groundstation software. I have connected using my XBee com port at 57600 and everything seems to be working ok, I get what seems…
"Thank for all the help guys... much appreciated."
"Oh - also just found another fix/tip....
In the XBee test code (the test_xbee function in test.pde)....
Removing the \n from the string being transmitted will make the data match up perfectly with the data packets sent from the X-CTU software...…"

Hi guys, I think I may have found a bug in the FastSerial Library... In trying to get the CLI test to perform a XBee test, I found that no data was being written to the telemetry port, after checking my APM_Config.h settings, my XBee setup and…
Hi there, I have my APM connected to the Mega IMU shield but I am struggling with the relay... I switched the APM to CLI mode and entered the test mode, I then selected "relay" which switches the realy on and off every few seconds. The relay on my…
"I had the same happen on channels 1-4 of my APM (not sure how or when I fried it) but when loading the "servo dance" sketch OUT4-7 control the servos properly but OUT0 makes it swing madly and 1-3 just makes them vibrate...
