"I found a solution after reading another forum. I disabeled the other serial interfaces in the device manager then uploaded the ac3.2. Hope this will help you as well."
Sorry, I never got the original firmware. I might just swap the AP to an APM 2.6. I don't know if you can retrieve the fw out of the Nova. Connecting with the Atmega directly and read content directly could be a solution if it is not…"
"Today I discovered a rattling sound in my 3DR gps/mag unit. I opened and found the battery loose. The terminals have come loose from what seems to be a poor soldering job by 3DR, possibly cold soldering. This is alarming to me. It could be part of…"
"Thanks for that information Manuel. What I noticed first time I connected to the APM planner was several data packages that I never had seen before as the progress bar was coming to the end. These were gone, together with the telemetry, after…"
"I never got hold of the original Nova/CX20 FW, only AC3.1.2. Thus my telemetry link, like yours, is still not working. I hope someone find a solution for this as we really should fly with AC3.1.5 and link ;) "
I will lift the gps/compass with the mast. The gimbal itself can be a source as I have a huge geared GBM8108 ble motor on the pan axis. Depending on the pan position this could be almost directly below the compass. I thought…"
"Just a thought. Could it be that static electricity is building up and causing interference with the compass? If so, the carbon structure should be grounded."
"I have looked into the tlogs as well and I cannot find consistency between the three last flights. First flight mag field seems ok, second flight (one short landing in this flight) there are some mag field noise present on the first GO, then it…"
"I did three flights tonight. I recalibrated the compass. First two flights, each 9 minutes, loiter worked excellent. Third flight I got toilet bowling when entering loiter. Going back to stabilize and then loiter again the octo just wanted to fly…"
Hello,My HL octo is flying great with APM2.6 (w/ 3DRuBlox w compass) and AC3.1.5, but I have challenges in loiter. I can take off and enable loiter. Then the octo will stand perfectly steady, for lets say 5 minutes. Then I land, disarm, arm, and…
"My board (reloaded with AC 3.1.2) has Free RAM 1809, while the Nova original FW only has 1645. This may indicate the extra lines of code that is included in the Nova FW. If anyone know where I can get the original FW I would be most happy. "
"Thank you for the link to the hex-file. I have loaded it into the NOVA, but telemetry is still gone. The link itself is working but it does not talk to the NOVA FC anymore. Also, the compass calibration using the rc controller will not work. I guess…"
