"I'm experienced with Pixhawk, and build almost exclusively with it. This is my first build out of ~15 that hasn't had low latency that I would expect from SBUS, or even terrible cppm. I fixed my yaw issues by not trusting the autotune PIDs, and…"
"On an unrelated note, Rob, I think there's a bug in the tricopter software"
"I don't think you'd be looking at less than $10,000. Why not get a gym membership for much less?"
Hey guys,I have built a pixhawk tricopter and just can't seem to get a delay bug worked out.When I calibrate ESCs, throttle input is immediate.When I arm the tricopter and fly, throttle input has nearly a 1 second delayAlso, my yaw servo is soooo…
"Have you solved the issue?
If you would like to calibrate ESCs, the best and most foolproof way is to do it manually.
Step -1: Remove your props
Step 1: Power on your transmitter, and then set throttle to max.
Step 2: Power on your Pixhawk and escs…"

I just moved my Pix from a y6 to a tricopter on the latest 3.3 release.Yaw on the y6 was snappy, and control input was stellar- my throttle response felt instantaneous.Input is SBUS on RC port on a FrSky x8r from an X9D Plus TX.Moving to the…
I just moved my Pix from a y6 on 2.x and I believe <3.3 to a y3 on the latest 3.3 release.Yaw on the y6 was snappy, and control input was stellar- my throttle response felt instantaneous.Input is SBUS on RC port on a FrSky x8r from an X9D Plus…
"I normally am not on a mac, but I was this past weekend. I installed the latest APM planner from http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?category=35 version 2.0.17"
Hey there!I left my Taranis at home when I left this morning, so I went and bought a DX6i with a satellite receiver to hook in to my Pixhawk.When I attempt radio calibration, I get an error to the effect of: radio not connected or functioning.I can…
"I'm sorry, you aren't special. I thought I was special after reading in pixhawk documentation not to use Simonk firmware on Pixhawk.
Get the different ESCs, or suffer an early crash"

"Simon, if there's anything I can do to help you, even sending you one of the Afros I used, I'd be happy to."
"You could do that, or you can do what I did and buy either the T-Motor Air ESCs or Hobbywing XRotor ESCs"
"true OPTO meaning it uses a real optocoupler between the MCU and the signal wire, eliminating interference"
"Is it a true OPTO?"
"The Afros were purchased from HK a little over 3 weeks ago. Props are 14x4.7 carbon fiber, motors are HK Multistar Elite 4006. I am running 4s true Lithium Polymer.
I did try a firmware update to the latest a few days ago and was not able to…"

"Verified WORKING! Very well. T-Motor Air 40a ESC. If futurepeople are willing to risk it, they look identical to the Hobbywing XRotor, at 4x the price. So try 'em out! Flight times are normal. got a 15 minute hover out of half a 5,000mah battery.…"
