Jon von Weymarn replied to Jon von Weymarn's discussion Sudden drop like a rock in circle mode
"Hi, Thanks Oliver.
No prop failure. Two props where broken and leftovers where found under the quad. If props would have broken mid air I would not have found all pieces. :-)

Jon von Weymarn replied to Jeroen Brosens's discussion TBS Discovery style frame: X or V frame setup?
"Hi,
Is the motor spin directions and prop orientation same on V setup as with X setup? Or is it as in the H setup which is different from X?"

Jon von Weymarn commented on Franklin Neo's blog post Some non-flight-critical accessories which I find useful
"To continue on the above...
x3 0.1" pins from HK both female and male.

I store my batteries in a Cognac metal box for safety. Its a good reason to buy one of the more expensive bottles..."

"0.1" crimp pins and connector housings!!!
One of my best decisions was to buy at least one of each from the 2 first pages of there search results.
I use basic cable strippers and pliers to crimp the pins to cable. It almost always works... :-) If…"

Jon von Weymarn replied to Jon von Weymarn's discussion New APM2.6. Is one output fried?
"Hi John,
Sounds like a good theory as I remember at least once plugging in USB with RX connected. Anyhow, it works well on another output."

Jon von Weymarn commented on Yusuf Pirgali's blog post Scratch Y6 build part I
"Looks great! Impressive how "clean" you got the arms.
I see you have a deans connector for the battery. Just my two cents but I had a deans loose contact just enough to reboot the APM and result in a crash. If I was you I would switch to XT60."

Jon von Weymarn replied to Pierre's discussion Flap manual control
"I have my flap servos connected directly to the RC receiver. So the APM is not involved in operating the flaps at all.
What TX are you using?
How many channels do you have on your RX?"

Hi all!I updated from APM1 to APM2.6 and Output5 seems fried or something on my brand new board. I want to use the output for a camera gimbal and any servo I connect to this pin buzzes like crazy. All other outputs work as expected. I also tried…

Hi all,This is my hack on an APM1. As i understand the telemetry this should be ok. So now i have 4 rows of pins that I can connect to telemetry, OSD, IOboard and who knows what else. This worked great with telemetry and OSD for a while but now…
