Jason R replied to Jason R's discussion Help with a near-fly away - DCM Bad Heading

I was flying in auto mode with my Y6 and APM 2.6, going well until it was heading towards the last waypoint and it gave a DCM bad heading error, then in "failsafe" mode took off in one direction.  Almost lost it, but it stopped finally then fell…

As soon as I put my Y-6 (arducopter 3.1 on APM 2.5) it begins to slowly rise.  Even if I continually lower the throttle (which should reduce the targeted hold altitude) it still climbs.  I think my vibration level is OK (generally <1).  Here is a…

I'm trying to set up a second video link from my gopro (3+ black edition) for a camera operator. I've got the video-out USB cable sold by tarot. I get video out for just a second, then a black screen. When I switch modes on the gopro (like…

Hi all;I've noticed that prior to takeoff what APM thinks is "level" is correct - I can hover with little stick input, and the artificial horizon is parallel to the real horizon on my OSD.As the flight progresses, the artificial horizon becomes…

Jason R replied to Jason R's discussion Channel 3 too high when transmitter off to allow failsafe?
"I would think this would be a common issue..."

Since upgrading to 3.1, I've had the following issue:If my throttle trim is zero, then channel 3 is 1050 when transmitter is on with throttle stick all the way down.  When my transmitter is off, then channel 3 goes to 1150.In order to make throttle…

My FPV video link seems pretty choppy at times.  I was wondering if this looks like an interference issue or some obvious problem?Look around 2:30http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ONnXLVRTpoThis is only 100m distant 20m high.  I'm using the immersion…

Jason R replied to Jason R's discussion Can't fly after 3.0.1 upgrade... tries to flip itself..
"Ok, fixed it.  Dumb mistake.  When picking which BIOS to install, I thought that the first quad was the "+" version and the third was the "X" configuration.  The third is actually for a 4-arm octarotor.  I forgot the choice for + vs X was later in…"

Hi - I have a APM 2.5 on a DJI 450.  It was flying great on firmware 2.5.   I just upgraded to 3.0.1, re-calibrated the radio, accelerometers, changed the PIDs as instructed -I can't even take off anymore.  It flips over as soon as it gets any…

Jason R replied to Jason R's discussion APM 2.5 and variations in artificial horizon during flight....
"Here is a video of it:

Compare the angle of the artificial horizon to the actual horizon at 1:59 (where there is a significant difference) to other places, like 4:29 where it is matching…"

Running a quad with APM 2.5....  I've always noticed some left/right drift that seems to occur during flight - not consistently though.  It is good after an autotune, but I start having to compensate with some left or right stick at times during the…

Jason R commented on Gary McCray's blog post Using a DJI 450 FlameWheel Quadcopter with the APM
"I'm showing the stock angular rate PID "I" value at 0.1, not 0.01."
