Hi there,
I'm writing to report a very likely bug affecting at least firmwares 3.1 rc8 to 3.1.2 (), at least for hex X frames. The bug manifests when RTL is the last step of an AUTO mission and RTL return altitude is different from the current altitud
Read more…I had what looks like an autopilot-gone-wild where at some point (from stabilize) logging stopped and one motor maxed out (and the hexcopter flipped). I suspect a bug in the newest release of the code (3.1 rc7), but I may be missing something.
I could

Takeoff manually in stabilize, go in loiter mode, battery failsafe incorrectly trigg

I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how the battery voltage and current is supposed to work. Sure, the installation is straight forward and I get numbers that change. The problem is that they are not the right numbers:
- the first probl

Read more…I just setup a quad-copter - my first with auto-pilot, so there might be mistakes :-).
The setup is pretty vanilla, with a 1000K Turnigy motors, with 12" slowfly propellers and a 2S 4.4Ah LiPo.
The Ardu-Pilot setup is similarly vanilla - APM 2.6 with G
