"Thinking this through, the opposition would also be good. I also suffer from altitude drift to high. Would be cool to set an upper limit fence of say 150 feet so that I can just have fun turning and zipping around. I find the most stressful thing is…"
"Now this is exactly what I need. When flying fpv I often see some drift down to the point where I lose track and get too close to ground. I find myself constantly checking altitude on the osd. I just ordered a sonar module with the idea that I could…"
"have a hoverthings 260 with APM. With stock PIDs it flys just ok. Tried autotune but it would not engage or it would quit part way through. Decided to search for some 'example' PIDs on a 250 or 260 that folks have had success with. Came across the…"
Really need help. Pixhawk in our QAV 540 has been flying great for months. Until yesterday there was a catastrophic failure on the second flight. Launched in loiter flew up approx. 20 feet, moved left over a cliff, suddenly it just fell from the…
OK maybe this is an obvious question, I understand that the latest firmware will not fit on the apm 2.6. So I just bought a new apm 2.6 and am trying to set up for first time. Trouble is when I connect to mission planner, it will try to install…
"Over time this feiyu has developed other problems. Intermittently it loses level during flight. Drifts to the point of being nearly upside down. Also the stabilization software seems so slow it's unable to keep up with movements resulting in shaky…"
"Yes problem is solved. You must power up gimbal after powering up Pixhawk. There is not a separate power supply. Power comes via 3dr power module straight off the 4s battery"
Yesterday did 3 flights. All were fine. On 4th flight the copter would not arm. No noises, no warnings, no fails. Just nothing. Mission planner shows connected. Switched flight modes on transmitter and it reflects in Mission planner so there must be…
"you still running that machine with those PIDs? I have a 540 with these PIDs and it sucks so bad. Vibration and shake so bad the video is useless. Any suggestions? May have to try yours. 12" props, 8000 mah 4s , luminier 4006-740 motors, feiyu g3…"
QAV540+ Pixhawk Shaky videoNew 540 seems to fly ok but the video is very bad. It shakes, not really a jello...more of a shake. Tried new props, recalibration, tried isolating the feiyu gimbal with soft grommets, then hard, then hard mounting. Makes…
"Agree. Need minimum 4s. That's what I have on mine. Takes at least 8000mah to get decent flight time"
Bad toilet bowl in loiter today after many weeks of perfect flying with pixhawk on hexacopter. According to the wiki, one should check for compass interference by graphing…
"I wish that worked. Seems no matter what max angle values or pwm limits I input in the gimbal screen makes no difference. Just get either full travel or no travel "
"Just wanted to let all readers know that I found the solution. Turns out that the order of powering up the gimbal is important. First power up Pixhawk, then power up gimbal. Do not power everything up simultaneously. I am still trying to improve the…"
