"This sounds very plausible. I have not set the motors to spin on arm, so can't be sure if this is what realy happened."

"Haha! No comments about the trouser. I was just crouching under mye Office desk, praying the machine would not find the way there. Felt a little like John Connor for a brief moment there.. :)"

"Ok, thanks. So, the solution would be a shutter cable where the part that Connects to the camera is isolated from the rest?"

"Ok, thanks. I agree,. No, I don't think the APM is to blame either. I think dere is some kind of Brownout, short Circuit, common dirty ground problem or something going on here."

"I posted a diagram earlier: http://diydrones.com/forum/attachment/download?id=705844%3AUploaded...

The vtx is Powered from straight from the battery. The shutter cable is getting Power from the receiver, who in turn gets Power from the APM. I think…"

"The thing I said about the RSSI was Critical low With the shutter Circuit Attached to receiver. Maybe the APM had a constant brownout and was just not handling anything at all?
Just ordered 2 New replacement motors, props and a New camera shutter.…"

"Ok. Starting to believe this logfile is not the correct one. It's the only possible log. Other logfiles are from previous flights."

"Thanks. Accidents always happen when you don't expect it. I usually don't do any work on the kopters With props on. But the plug I pulled out and connected was related only to the camera shutter switch, did not expect this kind of issue at all. I…"

"The current sensor is not used. I'm only just using the volt/current sensor to supply the APM With 5V. The ESC's get the Power directly from the battery, not through the sensor. The multirotor is using to much current to Draw it through the current…"

"I believe I Connected it the correct way, at least at startup. I'm usually very careful With looking at color codes on wires. But of course,, I can't be sure.
It's a APM."

"The shutter cable is a no brand type. It has worked for more than a year on another multirotor running a DJI wookong. The shutter cable was Connected to the receiver, not the APM. There is no Optical isolation.
Yes, I've also been thinking about the…"

"Actually I'm very glad this happened indoors. Outdoors the machine could have flown away, doing some real damage to someone.
Seriously, I explained what happened, don'r need moral pointers. Not saying I did not make a mistake, the evidence is very…"

I have a large octo With powerful motors. It's been in the air many times.I did some work on it today, changing the camera gimbal. I also installed a New 5,8ghz video tx and a trigger Circuit for operating the shutter on the camera. The shutter and…

"According to the manual lat/lon 0 should make it keep the position. I can not set waypoint lat/lon in advance, because I don't know the exact coordinates before I'm in the air. Typically placing the machine where the view is correct, often very…"

"According to the manual, it should be possible to set a waypoint With lat/lon zero to do this. But this causes it to fly away when activating Auto."
