About Me:

Robotic student that recently picked up interest for tricopters. Just starting to run automated missions with mixed experience.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Born 5 years ago when I first saw a movie recorded of a downhill track with a tricopter. I built one in within weeks but was not able to fly it properly until I got more guts about 4 years later. When up in the air for the first time I decided to go for an easier board with autolevel

Philip Johansson replied to Philip Johansson's discussion Autotune Crash
"Here is the log from today. I cant really interpreate any of this but see that at some point in autotune it just went straight down to the ground"

This has happened before on 3.1 and according to what I've read in the changelog for 3.2 this issue was to be resolved. Maybe in my case it depends on something else. Video below. machine spec: Flightcontroller: APM 2.6 Frame: Tricopter Motors:…

Philip Johansson replied to Larry Grimm's discussion Why are motors not getting full power from arducopter
"okaj, that was a good explanation. Nice to see the code as well.
But from there. Should not the APM calibrate the motors accordingly to its maximum output? "

Philip Johansson replied to Larry Grimm's discussion Why are motors not getting full power from arducopter
"Okej, thanx for the tip. But why is the default value 93 if the range is only up to 80? Would there be any difference between 93 to 80 or does 93 get interpreted some other way?"

Philip Johansson replied to Larry Grimm's discussion Why are motors not getting full power from arducopter
"Thank you for this post. The MOT_TCRV_MAXPCT I've never hear about before. Mine was set to 93 when it clearly says in the parameter list the highest is as you say 80. Changed it now and will se if it makes any difference. =)
My previouse solution…"

Philip Johansson replied to Philip Johansson's discussion Would this be a correct placement of my antennas?
"I've got more after placing the antennas differently but have not tried it yet. Did trie though the equipment on an airplane and got at least a few 200-300 meters with good video. Bought new antennas (pictures above) but for some reason the one on…"

Philip Johansson replied to Larry Grimm's discussion Why are motors not getting full power from arducopter
"I thought of the exact same fix but be aware that it could result in an unstable platform and eventually a crash. Maybe it would be smarter to calibrate at around 1900 or something so the FC still has some power margins of correction if you are at…"

Philip Johansson replied to Philip Johansson's discussion Alt-Hold problem
"thank you for your reply Richard. I will check it out. The background is that is has worked flawlessly in alt-hold before but they are lots of mods done and the crash combined. The stabilize mode is running really smooth so I just guessed the…"

I am using the Crius AIO pro board and running mpng's port of APM on it. It has worked flawlessly before but after a major crash and some modifications to the platform regarding changes in props, weight, reflashing, migrating from 3S to 4S battery…

"Trying my old multiwii the platform works really nice!.. I will go up to 4S batteri to be able to run APM, think it will do the trick."

"I went out flying today. I went back to my old multiwii board just of curiosity and I had the same problem at first until I found an old "fix" I had made. The pwm signal to motors is highest 1850 by default from user input in multiwii and setting…"
