"It is easy to get rid of the rachet. Just take the back of the Tx off. On the throttle stick you will see a metal spring/clip that pushes against the notches in the stick. If I remember correctly, you can just flip the spring over and it will no…"
"Forgot to mention I'm using an APM1 with oilpan, mag, and GPS."
I have a hexacopter with fairly strong motors. I'm using I2C ESCs from Mikrocopter. I've been flying it on older versions (like 2.5) and custom versions of code (after converting motor control to I2C). I decided to try 2.8.1. I inherited the…
"Bump. Anyone have any ideas????"
I have an interesting problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have a APM1 on a hexa with a Win7 FitPC2i computer mounted on the hexa as well. The PC is connected to Serial 1 and 3 on the APM1 via FTDI 3.3V USB to TTL converter cables. I am…

I have an interesting problem. I recently put my MK Hexa XL together with the MK power distribution board and BL-CTRL v2.0 ESCs. I'm running an Arducopter Mega system with oilpan and I modified the code to run the controllers on I2C. All that…
