"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."

"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.

"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) +…"

"You can not resolve all problems with GPS just with desire and attitude. 
I know several ppl who lost their Phantoms due to fly-aways. Nobody's got perfect software.
If you need good positioning, you have to diversificate sensors. Maybe add GSM…"

"I am sorry if that sound offensive, please accept my apologizes.  I just meant that there are several themes on topic of AltHold and loiter in 3.2.1 firmware.
This one topic here that I participated and there are several with same subject.

"Ok, it's dire offtopic, but:

On 3.2.1 firmware there persists AltHold problem. If you browse ArduCopter 3 thread by keyword "loiter" and "althold" you'll get pretty good understanding of problem. 

I want ArduCopter on PX4 hardware, plus I want to…"

"Ok. digging process on MK-BL ESCs goes on.
For now there is new information: 
1. To enable autorun of mkblctrl driver on arduCopter you have to create file /etc/APM/mkblctrl with correct motor numbering.
Does anybody know what "correct motor…"
