"Once again on this topic.
I don't really understand why can't APM have Z axis autotune. Well, maybe it have no resource for kalmann filter, but some simple features and some minor improvements could be done."

"Solved.
Solution is here. In lower part. Glad to say, that current PX4+IO controller files and performing very well."

"On top of all I have ground on 1st pin of MULTI port (should be VDD_5V).
That's a bad thing that APM got dropped out of support. This board solved everything in couple of hours instead of having headache for days."

"As soon as there is no elegant solution so far, I've decided to use standalone FMU with IO board as power source only. For that I will retain only 1-4 pins of Expansion Bus.
There is no direct connection between PPM pin on "Multi" port and PPM pin…"

"AFAIG we have our VQuad mixers in this file.
In particular this place:
}else if( _flags.frame_orientation == AP_MOTORS_V_FRAME ) {
// V frame set-up
add_motor(AP_MOTORS_MOT_1, 45, 0.7981f, 1);

"According to this guy's logic right here, all I have to do is to change output channel in code, but it's too weary to compile everything from scratch each time."

Marco Paggot replied to Lonny R's discussion Motor mapping
"Important thing. Channel failed on PX4IO module."

Marco Paggot replied to Lonny R's discussion Motor mapping
"Good point, same situation here.
I was testing brand new copter frame when it slightly (intended) hit the wall. Power surge (unfortunately ESC had no OPTO isolation) seems have damaged third channel (coincidence?). Channel 3 is "no go" anymore.
I'm…"

"Thanks Randy,
I've seen this page, but I'll take closer look at it once more."

Marco Paggot replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"Do anyone know if I can use solid state relays on my PX4IO board and how should I setup em (map to specific RC channel) if answer is positive.
Is it possible to turn em on say on "arm" action?"

Marco Paggot replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing
"I guess there is limitation on PX4FLOW focus. Did you set up sensor focus as it is said in Wiki? I got mine adjusted to 3m distance, and it was NOT set up correctly out of the box (as it is also said in wiki).
I am currently using:
PX4 + IO(stack) +…"

Marco Paggot replied to Diego Fdez.'s discussion Differences between APM, PX4, Pixhawk
"No, you should adjust PIDs separately on these boards. But you don't have to do it byhand, there is splendid "autotune" mode."

Marco Paggot commented on Marco Bauer's blog post Mikrokopter BL-Ctrl i2c ESC support now in ArduCopter with Pixhawk/PX4
"I have clone version of MKBL 1.1 ESC with i2c+PPM capability (which is pretty close to what original ESC can). 
I have common ground for everything. then I have PX4FMU where I use i2c1 SDA, SCL pins on front MULTI port. These pins are soldered to…"

Marco Paggot commented on Marco Bauer's blog post Mikrokopter BL-Ctrl i2c ESC support now in ArduCopter with Pixhawk/PX4
"Well, I tried to dig mkblctrl driver code (it's in nuttx code, see my post here), but it's too complex for my C/C++ skills. Besides I tried making PX4 firmware with i2c debugging tool support, but it also end up bad. It just won't compile right,…"

Marco Paggot commented on Marco Bauer's blog post Mikrokopter BL-Ctrl i2c ESC support now in ArduCopter with Pixhawk/PX4
"Well. 
I tried two different FS (flight stacks). 
1. PX4 + mkblctrl + console
2. ArduCopter + ??? 

First clue was to make connection as reliable as possible, so I did three experiments with i2c bus. Best was solid UTP CAT5E line (two wires).…"

Marco Paggot commented on Marco Bauer's blog post Mikrokopter BL-Ctrl i2c ESC support now in ArduCopter with Pixhawk/PX4
"I have to admit, I've dropped idea with ESC over i2c, because connection was VERY unstable. Motors were getting detected randomly: one, two, four, none. I guess I can not rely on such connection in air, especially concerning fact that copter has on…"
