"Problem solved (a while ago). It was the "recommended" parameter-file. And when also reloading APM:Plane and again APM:Copter firmware ("reset and clear") it worked good as long the parameter file wasnt used, even though only a few parameters were…"

"Yes, I got that link from Adam att BEV, but i didnt get exactly how to connect it 100% with that explanation. But I suppose its the same as I suggested.

I will use the GPS for both APM 2.6 and the Pixhawk. The Compass, only for the APM (since it…"

"Does OpenAeroVTOL work for a 3DRobotics APM and Mission Planner, Telemetry, BirdsEyeView-bridge, Pixhawk, etc? Is it just for KK2 (I finally sold my last one).

"GPS...
Ok, should I use the RX on the GPS-unit at all?
TX from GPS -> both controllers RX
TX from any controller to GPS?

Compass...
Ok, will use the compass for one controller only then (APM), guess the Pixhawk would work without Compass?

Im using…"

Mikael Mattsson replied to Mikael Mattsson's discussion How to know if SimonK?
"No one knows? No one uses SimonK-ESC's? I really really want to know if all my ESCs do have SimonK firmware. Last 3DR X8-crash could have been initiated by too high cutoff. The previous 3DR-hexacopter-vobble could have been caused by ESCs cutting.…"

"Anyone? Have to fly it soon...  :-/
As mentioned above, arming -> good idle speed. But when raising the throttle, nothing happens until 15-20% then it jumps up to a high rpm (without gimal and camera, it takes off)."

I got a problem with a 3DRobotics X8 with APM 2.6 and firmware 3.2.1 with 3DRobotics X8 RTF parameters.When arming, its motors idles up and runs at a comfortable low idle speed, as it should.When raising the throttle, you expect the rpms to raise as…
