"My pixhawk is pretty solid. It is a year old device. It started happening since the upgrade to 3.4. I have flown more than fifty packs with 3.3 without any issue and I havent upgraded anything except the arducopter code. I could't test today because…"

"It is a pixhawk from HK. 

however I'm trying to build a small tricopter ( quanum trifecta ) with minipx4 and it is been a huge challenge...

"It would also be a good feature to ask for the AUW to show the efficiency in watts/gr.

Thanks!!"

"Frantz, Thanks for  the awesome tool! Would you mind updating the spreadsheet to process the new scale of thrust used by arducopter 3.4 beta?  Here is the analysis of my tarot 680 hexa, using the 3d printed bed which 45degrees dampening balls.

"Leonard,
It would be a pleasure to help you test the upcoming tricopter code changes. I own a small tricopter ( quanum trifecta ) and I´m struggling to have authority over yaw without tail wag side effect.
Autotune on yaw  was unable to help me. It…"

"In a desync / esc issue shouldn't the rcout channels log the failure by its attempt to raise the throttle in order to try to maintain the attitude?"

Fernando Cunha replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Hello Dave,

I thought it could be a motor sync issue, but after taking a look at your logfile it seems that they are fine.

There is something going on with ekf. Don't know what is it. Someone more experienced with ekf would probably figure it out.…"

Fernando Cunha replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"This procedure was recommended a few times. The autotune takes the currrent parameters as the starting point, thus , doing it two times would make the parameters more refined.

If they are OK, with no wobbles, enjoy it!"

Fernando Cunha replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Yes, these parameters are tuned on autotune routine. How are your copter flying with them?"
