Marten replied to Marten's discussion Is it safe to set THR_MAX higher as the default 75% ?
"This topic can be closed.

THR_MAX is no option any more for my solution...
My fold... I didn't see yesterday that the last update from this WikiPage MAVParam was edited at 8th Sep 2011 !
So a lot of things are changed now.

Any way... Thanks to all…"

Hello Guy's,With my Hexa (flying with APM2.5 V2.8.1) I need more power to lift the complete setup.(total weight is about 3Kg)Is it safe to set THR_MAX higher as 75% ?Or will this make some more risk to hold the Multi in level in Stabilize_Mode and…

"Hello Tom,

Yes that's the way how it works."

"I don't get a schematic at this moment.
But it's a easy setup with the RGB led's and the Nano connection.
Here some pictures from our self designed PowerBoard and the Led's:



I hope this will give a better idea.
Later I will come back with a…"

"Hello Oliver,

I didn't modified the on-line sketch.
I've downloaded this .zip file: http://arducopter.googlecode.com/files/ArduCopter-2.7.3.zip
There you will get the complete ArduCopter 2.7.3. map with all the .pde files and other files.

Marten replied to Mell's discussion Relay or making one pin 5v on 2.5 Ardupilot
"Hello Mell,

I found this in the system.pde:
#if CONFIG_RELAY == ENABLED    DDRL |= B00000100;     // Set Port L, pin 2 to output for the relay#endif

This is Digital pin 47
In the Eagle files I could find any connection to this pin !
I'm afraid…"

Marten replied to Mark Slater's discussion Comments Please...
"I think your Roll/Pitch rate P is set to high !
I've used these PIDs for a Hexa setup, with a total weight from 3Kg:






























I think you can start the Roll/Pitch rate P at 0.110 and go step by step higher."

"@ All,

I forgot to tell that we hopefully can let it work with a MavLink communication to our Nano or other Arduino based board !
If we understand that protocol better and it will work:
This will make it a lot of easier, because we don't need to…"

Hello All, First I will say, Great job guys (developers).And now....I like to show our setup with AdaFruit digital Navigation RGB-Led's: The cool thing with this setup is, each RGB-Led is separated to control.To let this work well, we decided to use…
