"Edit / Update. 

I have a sneaking suspicion I might need to change the source of the sonar to the analogue pins as defined in the initial definition of the sonar class instead of the ADC (Can I hook up two sonars at once? - what I'm trying to do)…"

The one that shows as 'roll' under APM Planner. 

Cheers. 

(Also is there an easy…"

Peleus replied to Peleus's discussion ESC Calibration not 'saving'
"No sorry don't have access to an CRO. 

Good news and bad news 

Good news - I solved the issue 
Bad news - I have to delete my account out of embarassment

Protip - Do not load up the ArduCopter firmware (multiple times). Especially when you have a…"

Peleus replied to Peleus's discussion ESC Calibration not 'saving'
"Doing further researched it appeared that this describes the problem I'm having fairly well, however I don't have any spare ESC's to plug in. Also this is happening on APM1 not 2.

Peleus replied to Peleus's discussion Can't program ESC's
"Hmm I imagine I can certainly do that, but when I go into the mission planner I throttle up and that coincides with the signal going high, down throttle matches low, does this still mean I need to reverse it? I'll try either way. 

Also, is there…"
