"The EDF motors have 4 CW and 4 CCW.
Hence why I thought it should function like normal motors.
That said the current draw appear quite high as each motor has a max of 53amps.
Could this affect the IMU and compass?

"Was unaware that the EDF should be tilted.
By how many degrees? Any tilt direction preference for the motors.
Also, do EMI also affect accelerometers and gyro?

"I took off in Position Hold. All through the video its in position hold. Armin Strobel said:
If you you switch into position hold, does he still rotate on the spot or does he go wild and flys big circles?"

I have tested this EDF motor based octacopter. several times. I have noticed that there always seems to be some kind of yawing without prompting.Yesterday I have to pull the yaw stick the left in order to half the yawing. when I release the stick…
"Tested the drone with Pixhawk 2. Performed perfectly. Maybe its the drone build or the new Pixhawk 2 GPS; the position hold was very stable. "
"Thanks. Yes that was the issue. Have changed the AHRS_ORIENTATION to '0' . "
I have calibrated the imu and compass multiple times on the Pixhawk 2 but the mission planner screen is indicating that the drone is flip as shown in the attached image. Anyone know how to resolve this?2017-02-07_15-05-37.png
"Removed the Pixhawk on that drone today and put in on a small quadcopter and updated the firmware to a quadcopter.
Calibrated the accelerometer, compass and radio.
The quadcopter flew just fine.
Also on auto-analyzing the file, via mission…"

I have been having a serious problem with my large . It appears to do the toilet bowling effect.But cannot be sure. the drone did fly ok about 2 months ago.We changed added some components (which were all not power during this test) and even reduced…
