"No one has any ideas?"
"First off I want to say I love the work you've done on this!
I installed everything on the teensy and hooked it up directly to the apm 2.5. I do get some information, but some of it doesn't make sense. The GPS data showing number of satellites…"

"I followed your menu keys, but I only get three flight modes. Everything seems to be working on the transmitter end, but when hooked up to mission planner I only get three flight modes. It seems like moving switch SC does nothing to enter the next…"
"Got some loiter time today, not sure how long you needed it in loiter, but it seemed like it moved around quite a bit while in the mode so I didn't keep it there long.

"Finally got everything in a reassembled. This is my compassmot screenshot. I will do a loiter test and post my logs sometime today. "
"I will do that as soon as the parts come in. The battery was pretty fresh and still had 15.7v on it when I check it. When you are referring to the compass being set wrong are you referring to the compass calibration or the way it was setup in…"
"I was using a dx6i with an orange receiver. Since the crash I was able to order a frsky taranis and x8r receiver. Can't wait to actually get to try it out with the quad in the air. Waiting on the slow boat from China to deliver my repair parts!"
"Didn't notice any smokey or odd smells from the esc or motors. "
"It's in pretty bad shape. I'm waiting on parts for repair. I switched to frsky receiver and transmitter thinking it was a range/radio problem. I reconnected everything and the motors seem to be working normally and syncing. The esc is this…"
"Any idea why that would occur?"
"I have tested loiter mode before and it does ok, hovering in a radius of about 3-5ft. How do I determine the offset for compassmot?"
"This is a screenshot of the kmz log. I was basically just flying back and forth, nothing special, but at the end you can obviously see where the quad veered off after RTL was engaged. "
"No one has any ideas? I don't want this to occur again if there is something I can do. I did have the failsafe on in the event of a receiver issue and there was a solid GPS lock before initial takeoff. This still has me puzzled. "
I had a pretty serious crash on Saturday after a few minutes of flying. I'm a newb at all of this, but I was able to download the logs and graph them after the flight trying to figure out what the heck happened. Towards the end of my logs the…
