I recently dusted off my APM2.6. It runs 3.1.5 and found the latest APM2.6 compatible version 3.2.1. Do I have to rerun calibrations or is it ok just flash to 3.2.1?Thanks,Michael

MHA replied to Robert's discussion unexpected engines shutdown APM 2.6 + Arducopter 3.1.2
"Had exactly the same with one of the 3.1.2rc's. Luckily this was only hovering 1-2 feet on soft grass, so only one cracked prop. Suspecting the firmware I went back to what was on before (3.1rc7). I hovered very close to the ground and found the APM…"

"Guys, Randy,
 
Just a simple question: is there a difference between a radio f/s initaited RTL and a mode switch initiated RTL?
 
Thanks,

"Leonard, guys,

I am confused about the ACRO default settings. In an earlier post it was mentioned that acro_balance_roll/pitch had old values of 200 and should be set to 0.2. There is only a general comment about acro improvement in in the release…"

"Guys,
 
What would be the best approximation of the Naza Atti (w/o GPS) mode with respect to altitude? In this mode Naza only stabilizes altitude without trying to maintain a set altitude. Althold? Or are we missing something like stabilize with…"

"Hi Randy,
I urgently need your brain to help me understand what's going on after radio f/s. Bare in mind I have an rx which in PPM mode doesn't behave exactly as most of the rx's. My rx doesn't switch of PPM in case the tx is lost (e.g. switched…"

"Hi Guys,
I really appreciate the work that is done on Adropilot. Using it mostly for preflight checks (sats, HDOP, ...) and PID tuning on my Samsung Galaxy 7 Tab 2 I found it working very stable and easy to use. Good job!
Three minor things:
I also…"

I didn't want to further clutter this thread, so I opened another thread for my problem. I'd appreciate if you have a look and adivse: http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/apm-3-1-rc4-yaw-pid-tuning

Guys,I need some help in setting up yaw PID's. My TBS Discovery with APM2.6 has a poor yaw performance. It seems not very locked and what is most annoying it is slowly oscillating which is most visible in onboard video footage.To get to the root of…

"Guys,
I need your help. APM2.6/3.1rc2/SimonK. The quad is flying great in Stabilzie, also Loiter is holding pos and altitude without toilet bowl. What I noticed in my videos though is that the motors seem to be very aggressive in Loiter mode,…"

"Guys,

Just a quick question: when will 3.0.2 with the fix for Loiter_turns be released. I know it's only one line of code, I could generate my own 3.0.1+.
Thanks,
Michael"

"Congratulation developers,

A job well done. Thank you very much for your time, effort and support.

I had a go at 3.0.1rc2 at it worked great. Looking at the log I saw roll/pitch following rollin/pitchin with minor oscillations in STABILIZE.…"

"Hi,
Got a question about PID setup. I see a very stable Stabilize. No oscillations, overshoot and so on. Feels and looks good. Switching to Loiter it holds position and altitude very well but starts wobbling in x and y. Even in very calm conditions.…"
