"Ah right, ok thanks Randy, that's restored my faith in myself and everything else! At least it's explained.
Yes I had taken off, landed in Loiter, throttled down (still in Loiter), fixed camera, switched to Stabilize for takeoff again, took off in…"

"I had an unpleasant throttle cut when flicking from Stabilize to Loiter on the new 3.3.1 the other day, and I haven't been able to figure out what caused it yet. I have just upgraded from 3.2 which has flown fine for a long time, but on my second…"
"has anyone got any ideas why (on 3.1.2) actual pitch/roll never manages to attain desired pitch/roll on my hexa s800 in auto (waypoints) mode? Is desired roll/pitch treated differently in auto mode?
In stabilize mode and alt hold, the desired pitch…"

"Ok, I've solved my problem! In short by using the ANGLE_RATE_MAX parameter, and even at the default of 18000 it makes a huge difference, and at last makes the craft safe. I've now dropped it down further to 9000.
However for some odd reason it…"

"I've tried dialling my Loiter Rate P all the way down to 0.2 but it still makes big twitches going Loiter->Auto. It really shouldnt have to."
"Well today I did some more testing and at one point when I switched from Loiter to Auto in Mission Planner, the whole rig almost fell out of the sky. It twitched, and then side slipped about five metres before finally recovering just in time.…"
Morning All,I am trying to get and S800 Evo flying smoothly to waypoints on a pixhawk with Arducopter 3.1.2, however despite playing a lot with the PIDs I am still getting uncomfortable twitches when changing between loiter-based flight modes (e.g.…
"I'm seeing quite big twitches as well when I switch into loiter mode while moving, on quite a big rig, an S800 Evo hexa. For me it also happens switching into Auto on a mission and on reaching a waypoint, say a 90 deg. turn, where it throws a…"
"On my s800 evo hexa when I flip from loiter mode into auto mode to start a mission, the quad does a massive instantaneous 45deg. wobble as it pitches forward-back-forward etc. before flying forward off toward the first waypoint steadily. Am I right…"
"Follow up.... FYI, 3DR seem to think that the two last beeps indicate a fatal hardware issue. So there we have it. Back to the factory! Thanks anyway xian."
"no i don't get successful update tone after restart doing that."
"Transmitter is a Futaba 14SG with firmware 3.0. However whilst I have been trying to get the pixhawk working again I have completely disconnected the R7008SB until I can get pixhawk up and running again. The only things connected to it at the…"
"still no luck either I'm afraid Xian.... It tried to play startup tones but then they were interrupted by 3-4 long low tones.
And the bootlog on the SD card afterward now says:
PX4IO Trying to update PX4IO update failed"

"ok just tried that too. still no good.

"Hi Xian,
thanks for your continued support.
I tried that yesterday but it didn't seem to do anything. I haven't tried it again today since posting here. Should I try that? I thought the SD Card method was outdated though"
