i've got the whole micro apm set (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...3Mhz_APM_.html)
the board comes with internal compass, and there is external one in the GPS.
To disable the internal you cut a track on the board, which I did.
I'm connecting
That's what I get when I try to calibrate the compass. Actually that's why I bought whole new board, because I couldn't overcome this problem with the old one and thought it's faulty, since I did cut the jumper on it, to disable the internal compass

I'm with 3.2.1 and can't find the variable responsible for that like at all.
I went through all the variables with YAW in the name and n

Initially the tail servo was moving left and right for no reason and causing the whole thing to shake violently as soon as it takes off the ground.
After some experimenting I found that setting th

As soon as I raise to 50%+ throttle and it stats to get off the ground the tail servo starts to move 15 degrees left and right which causes the whole thing to shake like it's having epileptic seizure.

I updated to the latest version recently (was 3.19 before that) and now it often denies arming because of inconsistent comasses. If I move the dome (external compass is on the dome) around a little suddenly it makes a melody noise and then I can arm.
Read more…I was dry testing my pixhawk quad build with the motors spinning (props off) and moving it around by hand to check all is good and it suddenly disarmed and stopped. Yeah just like that.
Did it few times actually when I proceed to test some more.

Spend an hour reading how to do it and i'm confused and intimidated.
I just want to tilt a FPV cam using a servo from a knob on the remote. That's all.
So far I learned I have to connect the signal servo wire to AUX1 on the pixhawk and preferably power

Since i broke it I want to disable it and fly FPV without it (i got OSD so should be ok) is there a way to do that?
What happens if I short the 2 pins where it connects? That of course is if it can't be

So, seems like you can't set a knob on your radio to c
In pixhawk docs they recommend against plugging the servo to pixhawk directly because a jump in the power draw of the servo might mess it up.
So what would be the best way to do it then?
Should I split the servo wire and insert just the signal one
This is a fresh build, after I just setup everything right, i had 1 battery time of wonderful flight!
On the 2nd battery, there was a very minor crash, after it it started constantly yawing around itself (i think it was in loiter but not sure) and whe

Why there is no straight forward way for someone owning a pixhawk and a phone with droid planner to control it without having a RC connection established?
