Dano replied to Peter Klimon's discussion Spektrum DX8 with APM 2.5 Controller Need Help Setup
"You need to create a custom mix.  I have mine set up so the F-Mode switch (3 pos) and the gear switch (2 pos) control my modes.  With the gear switch in one position, you have the 3 flight mode postions, and with the gear switch in the other…"

Dano replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration
"I have since flashed the ESCs with simonk firmware. All seemed well for a short time until one let out the magic smoke. I have given up on these Red Bricks. HK had the BlueSeries 30A in stock in the USA warehouse, so I ordered a set of them. They…"

Dano replied to Michael Walker's discussion Unable to retrieve logs
"I am also new to all this APM stuff, and sometimes have a similar issue. What has worked for me is to unplug the USB cable from the laptop and plug it back in. Seem that the mission planner gets confused about the connection sometimes when going to…"

Dano replied to Dano's discussion Random throttle "burps" in stabilize mode.
"I think I have figured this out.  I had CH7 set to RTL, and I think it was triggering.  I didn't notice anything in the logs (don't know where to look) but viewing the flight in google earth made it obvious that the mode kept changing.  I disabled…"

Dano replied to Daniel Portillo's discussion Jumper to disable-enable GPS
"Can you post some details on how you did this?  Does this mod allow for use of the uBlox external GPS without getting port conflicts?"

Dano replied to Dano's discussion Random throttle "burps" in stabilize mode.
"Here are the logs.  Not sure what looks "normal" or not yet.  There are some spikes in throttle in, but they could be from me?  Not sure.  Anyone with a bit of experience looking at these could maybe take a look and let me know what you think.…"

Dano replied to Dan Gray's discussion How can you tell the difference between the 433 and the 915 antenna's?
"My 433 antennas both have a blue dot on them, so that may be the identifier. I don't not have a set of 900 to compare to however, so I am not positive, just seem likely to me."

Dano replied to Dano's discussion ESC Calibration
"I have done some digging this evening, and am about 95% sure that these "new" Red Brick 30A escs are a HK SS 30a in different shrink wrap."

Hi all,I seem to be having problems with calibrating my speed controllers.  I am building a y6, and using Red Brick 30A ESCs (I regret going on the cheap with the ESCs).The auto calibration didn't work at first, so I did a manual calibration of each…

Dano replied to AJC's discussion Adding Telemetry.
"I agree that 3DR's way of dealing with out of stock items can be frustrating. That said though, they are very helpful and prompt if you email them asking a question. Just don't ask when something will be on stock, the only answer I have gotten to…"
