Garrett replied to Felipe Guadagnin's discussion I get this message "The GPS signal of the aircraft is weak" in UgCS
"I've had "similar problems" but not with DJI. This could be totally wrong but my advice is to recalibrate your GPS and compass away from wifi and metal or electromagnetic objects. If that doesn't work there may be something attached to the Drone…"

Garrett replied to drich's discussion PID tuning, too slow to stabilize and overshooting
"I'm not entirely sure, but I've had a hard time tuning this frame also. Presumably with the right PID settings it will fly stable, it appears that some have autotuned and it has worked, but I cannot find what these PID values are. In my case,…"

Garrett replied to Garrett's discussion How can I used the AUX servo outs 1,6 as PWM for DodecaHexa?
"Couldn't get this working with the PX4 FS but was able to upload AC 3.6.x developer build and that had an option for frame type 12.  This did allow me to get all the motors spinning, although they have to be plugged into main 1-8, then aux 1-4.  I…"

Garrett replied to Garrett's discussion Two motors start spinning at full throttle after I connect battery when not armed!
"Fyi, I seem to have resolved this, some of the wires were crossed, (4 plugged into 5, 5 into 4 etc - not sure it was those specifically I just unplugged them all and did them one at a time. So idk what was causing the weird behavior but it seems to…"

I'm admittedly new to this so it's possible I'm just making a very stupid mistake but I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. When I plug in the battery on my hexa copter - two of the motors immediately start spinning within about five…
