Paul Revitt replied to Curtis's discussion I guess this goes here..... can't get APM 2.6 to come to life
"Mine does a rapid beep when it reaches the low battery threshold and starts RTL. Are you sure your battery is ok and that the min-voltage and mAH reserve settings is set correctly?
Also AFAIK you don't wait for the ESC's to cycle through the tones.…"

Paul Revitt replied to Bighans's discussion Arducopter 3.2 - tri tail servo not working
"A new feature of 3.2 is that the yaw servo doesn't activate when the throttle is down, even when armed. I think it's so you can disarm when on the ground without the rear blade pitching over.
A welcome addition IMO.

Hope it's just that, buddy ;)"

Paul Revitt replied to Paul Revitt's discussion Where has the MOT_SV_SPEED option gone?
"That's great buddy, cheers for taking the time :)
So it is actually outputting 490Hz to the ESC's. Hmm, maybe it's just the Pix the limits to 400Hz. Well that's good.
I've since fitted a analogue servo to the yaw and it's much smoother, which makes…"

Paul Revitt replied to Paul Revitt's discussion Where has the MOT_SV_SPEED option gone?
"Hi Adrian, cheers for the reply.
I gathered as much from what I've read but there's no definitive info out there. Or at least that I can find.
So the default RC_SPEED setting is 490, which AFAIK means the ESC's are running at 400 as that is the max…"

Paul Revitt replied to Santosh Sharma's discussion Minimosd and ArduCopter V3.1.5 parameters not updating on APM 2.6 board
"No, it should work armed or unarmed.
Looks to me like the MinimOSD isn't getting the telemetry info from the APM. Have you tried re-entering the settings in the APM config? Is any of the info updating correctly at all?

I don't really know what else…"

Paul Revitt replied to Santosh Sharma's discussion Minimosd and ArduCopter V3.1.5 parameters not updating on APM 2.6 board
"Are you sure it's connected correctly?
Both the telemetry TX and MinimOSD should be connected to the APM telemetry port using the 'Y' lead. Video out from the cam goes to the MinimOSD then out to the video TX.
Always power up the camera first, give…"

Paul Revitt replied to Paul Revitt's discussion Where has the MOT_SV_SPEED option gone?
"I installed AC3.2 last night which is the same; no MOT_SV_SPEED setting. I've got an analogue servo on the way, but I'd like to get this digi one working well if I can.
No body kow what happened to this option..?"
