Francis Marasigan commented on noeL's blog post Arducopter Failsafe - setting up failsafe with FrSKY Taranis
"Im using Frysky X6R and SBUS to CPPM converter for single cable. If I put to "no pulse" and turn off transmitter, all channels drops to zero and not just the throttle. I tried it without the SBUS to CPPM and all channels is holding aside from…"

"Just want to share.

I found out that I can also reuse the DJI Phantom LED as APM External LED Indicator. This LED are very bright even on daylight and has three colors, RED, GREEN and YELLOW. When I looked on the PINs for the DJI Phantom LED, it…"

"Your are right.  Phantom is really very tippy.  I'll probably  design my own landing gear. I want to be shorter. Not planning to have GoPro underneath anyway but just mobius and video tx. I have some few 3d design by my self and just saving some…"

"This thing is hard to land. Take-off went smooth for stabilize and alt-mode but when landing after it hit the ground the motor still spinning relatively fast which cause to tip the phantom. Also noticed that crash detection on 3.1 does not kicks in.…"

"Finally found it. Somehow my mission planner "Full Parameter List" was gone after the upgrade of mission planner. I reinstalled it and was able to adjust the MOT_SPIN_ARMED value instead selecting of the drop down list on the "Advance Params" which…"

"I'm sure the parameters was wrote. I noticed the effect in throttle when I adjust the THR_MIN.  Also if the THR_MIN is on default (100), random motors are not spinning on 20-30% throttle but all will consistently spin on 40% above. "

"Not sure if I need to adjust this to my transmitter. I'm using Taranis. "

Francis Marasigan commented on David Dewey's blog post ArduPhantom: APM ArduCopter in a DJI Phantom Airframe
"I put it up to 250 for THR_MIN and still won't spin on arm.  It just make the throttle very sensitive. Phantom will start hovering in 30% throttle. I even try to lower the THR_MID to compensate the early throttle power. 
Wondering what other…"

"ok. Let me try that. I was just concern increasing it  to much but I guess it should be fine as you suggested. :D"

"Thanks for replying. I tried it but still won't work. I set it to "Fast" and even adjusted the THR_MIN to 155 but still didn't help. I can only see motor spinning after I applied some throttle. It's like the new parameters didn't even use at all. "

Francis Marasigan commented on Duran - ALTI's blog post WHAT A PHANTOM SHOULD LOOK LIKE INSIDE...
"I just finished putting APM on my phantom. My APM firmware is 3.1 but somehow when arming, the propeller will not spin until I put some throttle. Anyone having the same experience? Is it normal? The same APM when I used on other ESC will spin motor…"

Francis Marasigan replied to Rolf Blomgren's discussion APM MavLink to FrSky X8R S.Port converter
"Yes! Got mine working. I did some small change on the source code to compute/detect the number of cell from 2S to 6S. I tested it on 3S and 4S. My voltage is a little off with my meter but it is fault of the APM. Just need to calibrate it on the APM…"

Francis Marasigan replied to Rolf Blomgren's discussion APM MavLink to FrSky X8R S.Port converter
"Wow!!  This is what I'm looking for my first quadcopter build. My goal is reduce the weight by removing unecessary redundant sensory. I just ordered the teensy but unfortunately I don't have much experience in micro-controller development. 
Any…"
