I've got a skywalker 1830 on APM that i'm getting 45min-1hr of flight time on. So far I've been unable to get a log for a complete flight. The log always cuts off the beginning of the flight. I believe I have the bitmask set to the lowest logging…
Ive been trying to diagnose some altitude hold problems and I think im making progress. I had a lot of vibrations using kyosho gel and it was causing my altitude hold to freak out and make extreme climbs sometimes. I moved to an "earplug" setup and…
I've been trying to get my vibrations in spec and I just cannot seem to do it. I have bought new props. Balanced my motors and props. I'm using a tarot 650 frame. I've made sure all my motors are on the same plane and level. Still I get warning…
"ya im going to check the balance of my props and motors tomorrow. Now I have a path to go down, thanks. "
"Hrm thank you for pointing this out Stuart. My pixhawk is mounted on moongel and all the wires have some slack. Maybe I need to find another mounting method. "
"This log may even better demonstrate my issue. At around 4min if you log THRin and Dalt, you can see i'm dropping from 50% throttle down to about 25% throttle but the desired altitude is climbing for some reason. Whats going on here?21.BIN"
Flying in position hold today and I was noticing big fluctuations in my altitude hold. Sometimes the quad would randomly jump up 50Ft. Looking at the logs alt and dalt line up pretty well. But throttle in and throttle out doesn't seem in sync. When…
"My PID's were whatever the default settings are. I'd have to go searching to find them.
The copter feels twitchy in any mode, stabilize, alt hold, or position hold. "

"I have a 650 quad with 12" props on 700kv motors that felt pretty smooth with stock settings. I ran the autotune on 3.2 and it became very very twitchy. I backed off RC feel and roll/pitch sensitivity but it still feels very twitchy. Any advice?…"

"I recalibrated radio in mission planner yesterday per Randys advice. I took a flight today and position hold seemed to be working fine. So im assuming my issue was not having performed a radio calibration recently. I've attached my log files just…"
"Ok I have it set to nearly-all now so i'll make some flights this afternoon and post back. "
"Ah ok. I haven't changed RCMAP so I guess this isn't my problem then. Hrm "
"Hrm ok I know for sure that the range of my throttle is different, not sure on roll pitch yaw. But I changed my throttle minimum so that my failsafe would kick in if my radio cut out and the throttle went below my raised minimum. I will try making…"
"Could you be more specific by "turn up the logging" is there a faster log refresh or something I should adjust?"
"Right before trying position hold I had trimmed my quad using set trim. Then re centered my trims on my radio. So i'm positive my trims were centered when I tried position hold. "
