SKYBORNE replied to Nathaniel Caner's discussion Using the Mission Planner DO_JUMP command to loop a Mission
"It turns out the Dummy WP is no longer needed after the DO_JUMP command. It was apparently a bug that has been squashed.I flew my plane today with no Dummy WP after the DO_JUMP command and the plane flew the loop continuously. I took off in Auto…"

SKYBORNE replied to Nathaniel Caner's discussion Using the Mission Planner DO_JUMP command to loop a Mission
"Great advice.

SKYBORNE replied to SKYBORNE's discussion Compass Variance Auto problem.
"Update,

I've noticed that when the aircraft is moving the compass heading is now same as the aircraft. But when stationary there is a slight drift. It was hard to spot before as I don't have a GCS guy most days and have to go into the logs after.…"

SKYBORNE commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Iris details: #1 The 4-1 ESC/Power Module
"I'm trying to diagnose the possibility of a bad ESC in this 4 in 1.I'm presently using 3.3 firmware on the Pixhawk and there [THR_MAX] has been replaced with [MOT_THST_MAX]; and I also can't find 'MOT' in the log files. All I can find is 'MODE'…"

"I have one of these.And one of the motors occasionally doesn't spool-up with the rest of the motors. I've adjust the THR_MIN up in value and the MOT_SPIN value and updated the unit.I'm wondering if it has something to do with the ESC. Anyone know if…"

"Thank you so much.

I'm running 5008 340Kv motors swinging 17.5 inch carbon fiber slow fly props. 6 in total.
I did a full recalibration and auto tune in no wind.. It has helped and  adjusted the PIDs. I would have thought the PIDs would have…"

SKYBORNE replied to SKYBORNE's discussion Pixhawk Pitch PID tuning
"Yes,

I did a full recalibration and auto tune last night on hour before sunset when there was no wind.. It has helped and  adjusted the PIDs. I would have thought the PIDs would have compensated for this, but I seem to be wrong on this assumption.…"

SKYBORNE replied to Tommy Larsen's discussion Remove Geo-fence
"I'm having problems with Geo Fence.
When I'm in a mission the hex will often fence breach at the first waypoint and then RTL. Sometimes it will make it past the first waypoint to fence breach later in the mission.

I set the breach limit to 800m…"
