Hello everyone,all of a sudden my GPS (NEO-M8N) stopped working. When I power up my Pixhawk, I get a quick blue flash on the GPS and after that nothing happens. I get GPS : No Fix error in Mission Planner. I checked the power on the Pixhawk to see…

"Well, I got my quadcopter in the air today for the first time. Not for long, but long enough for a really short test. Can someone please look at my Log file and give me feedback. I would really appreciate it. Also, what is the best way to change the…"

"I get the PreArm RC Roll not configured alarm and also I tried to calibrate the compass, but just one green bar is going to the right. The second one does not appear.."

"There is just one thing that keeps me thinking: the fact that the motors started speeding up when I raised the throttle stick a tiny bit. I have no clue what the problem is. I made a new model on my Taranis to start from scratch again. Hopefully…"

"Thanks for you answer iSkyMaster! I will reflash the firmware and do everything from scratch. I will follow your steps.

What parameters or things are essential for a good first flight, except for the initial calibrations like accelerometer, ESC,…"

"I had removed the expo before attempting my first flight. I did the radio calibration multiple times, as well as the ESC calibration. The RPM of the motors match the throttle stick position when I am in ESC calibration mode, so I am kind of…"

"I don't know what happened, but my reply to Paul Tegler was deleted.

I was trying to lift off in de "Stabilize" mode. I have calibrated my ESC's, but I think it has failed or something. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but ESC calibration…"

"Yes.. it is! I was super excited and then my quadcopter did a nose dive which resulted in trimmed off props! :(
The weird thing is the exponential like rate at which the throttle increases, does this have something to do with the hover settings? I…"

"I was trying to lift off in the "Stabilize" mode.
I will check the direction and the wiring once again to verify it is correct.
Do you have an explanation for the throttle speeding up? Paul Tegler said:
what flight mode were you attempting to lift…"

Hello everyone,A couple of minutes ago I tried to fly my quadcopter for the first time. Unfortunately it ended in a nose dive before even taking off. Something I noticed was that when I raised my throttle by a tiny bit (from fully down position),…
