Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Have been messing with Arduino, DJI Phantom, and also a CrazyFlie (nano-quad from Bitcraze).

"I'm having a similar problem with my PixHawk. I have DJI ESCs plugged into MAIN OUT 1-4. When I plug in the batter the ESCs beep steadily about once a second. When I turn hold down the safety switch, they begin beeping rapidly. I would say I…"
"Can we send our APMs in to be repaired or replaced? This seems to be a common problem. I'm still waiting for my PixHawk and now I find out my APM won't work with 3.1 because of this gyro error. =[ Frustrated!"
"I changed the mount on my quad from mounting tape I'd gotten at Lowes to a vibration dampening gel and that improved things quite a bit. I also made sure none of the wires or peripherals were near the APM, because even having a wire touch it would…"
"I've also had issues with my quad losing control during auto mode; on at least 3 occasions it flew fine to a couple of waypoints and then starting climbing full throttle for no reason. I'm going to try some vibration dampening, but I'm skeptical. It…"
"It does sound very similar to the issue I have. I ordered some MoonGel and another dampening block to try out some different options. I really don't know if that caused the problem but that's what one of the admins said (when moved my post from the…"
"I found this out the hard way as well. Fortunately no major crashes, but a couple of close calls. :)"
"Some vibration data."
"Another flight with same type of rapid ascent. Maybe Chris is right about the vibration; the ThrOut value is super shaky when in LOITER and AUTO, but looks pretty smooth when in STABALIZE. I'm also wondering if sunlight might be affecting the Bar…"
"Chris Anderson suggested this may be a vibration issue, which may be possible. But to me if this were caused by vibration I would think I would see inaccurate altitude readings. The logs suggest the AC was perfectly aware of the altitude it was…"
I've got an issue with my ArduCopter skyrocketing in the middle of its flight plan. I've tested this a few times and have been able to reproduce this glitch on at least 3 occasions. The quad will start off fine, and at some point in its flight it…
"I just tested this out and it should indeed be "enable imu", NOT enable ins or enable raw. As a developer, I have to tell you that it's pretty shitty for them to put out bad documentation. No documentation would be better than wrong documentation.…"
"I have the same issue. Doesn't seem to change anything; not seeing anything extra in the logs.

"Thanks for the video Duran. I've done this to my Phantom with an ArduPilot 2.6. I'm looking forward to using all the cool features, but so far I'm struggling a little bit with the tuning. I've used the AutoTrim feature a few times and have gotten…"
"I put and ArduPilot in my Phantom as well. I've got it working ok in "stabilization mode" but it still needs a good bit of tuning. Do you have any advice for honing the PIDs?"
