Hello FriendsI posted my problems in connection with overshooting in the AltHold mode a few months ago. But nobody really listen... Today I did some aerial footage for a commercial. It was windy but I saw no reason to don't start. I waited in the…

Michael Bucher replied to Evgeny's discussion Roll issue on 3.2.1 firmware
"I did some further tests. It seems that the PID values were not optimal for the X8 setup. I decreased the P values and increased I and D. My smaller X8 fly with this modification very well. I can't see any overshoot in the logfile. My bigger camera…"

Michael Bucher replied to Evgeny's discussion Roll issue on 3.2.1 firmware
"I would normally say it must me a PID problem. But I have the same issue on a smaller X8 platform as well. The thing is, that both multicopter fly very well, but sometimes they massively overshoots. So I don't know exactly where I have to tune.

I…"

"Hi friends

I think I have the same issue. I fly also a X8 multicopter. The model is a little bit smaller (16" props and 8kg weight). I noticed the problem the first time last autumn. It was a wonder that multicopter didn't crash... 

I fly…"

"Hi Andrea

Hmm, it's a long time ago.... I believe I fixed the problem with using the Sum signal from my hott receiver. The ppm encoder was a lot of pain. It never works properly...

"Hi Michael

I did the update yesterday evening. But it still don't work. I can save a WP File with over 254 waypoints to my computer but I can't load it again with the "Load WP File" button. The message "too many waypoints" appears... 

Thanks a lot…"

"I opened yesterday an issue. I hope you guys find a solution soon :-)

What do you think, will the pixhawk execute a big mission? if it's really a Mission Planner bug, it should work. "

Michael Bucher replied to Martin's discussion Number of Waypoints
"I create a mission with over 300 waypoints. I sent the mission to the pixhawk. No failure message. Then I read the mission back to the mission planner. But only 90 waypoints came back... It's strange sometimes 200 waypoints come back, sometimes it's…"

Michael Bucher replied to Martin's discussion Number of Waypoints
"Hi 

According to the information I have, the Pixhawk should be able to store 718 waypoints. We have tried this today, but it don't' work. Is there a special setting I need to change for the 718 waypoints?

The Pixhawk runs the firmware 3.2.1…"

The reflash of the pixhawk is allready done. Still the same error...

Thanks for helping me ;-)"

HiI can't believe that my 2 Pixhawk's make me a lot of pain. I get a lot of pre arm errors and I have no clue where the hell they come from. Actually I can't eliminate the "Pre Arm RC Not Calibrated" error. In the meantime I re calibrated at least…

Hi guysUnfortunately I have a few problems with my Pixhawk. I use the Pixhawk with the 3DR uBlox GPS + Compass module. Sometimes I get the message, that a compass calibration is needed. But I did the calibration during the first setup. It seems that…
