Sascha M. replied to Jeremy Hanks's discussion yaw stability on v quad.
"I wish. I see the same behavior on an APM, no matter if set to X or V frame.
What helped was reducing ACRO_YAW_P, but that also means that you will turn slower, of course.

I think the motors may not be able to keep up with the slowing down and…"

Sascha M. replied to Sascha M.'s discussion Yaw causes massive wobble (APM 3.2.1)
"O-kay. Issue found.ACRO_YAW_P was set to 45. I have no idea why. Highest possible value should be 10.MP didn't complain about writing such a value to the APM, or reading it from it.. it only complained about loading that value from a file.It still…"

I tried setting up my copter today for camera flying. 1.73 kg, 3S, MS2216-900kv motors, 11x4.5 HQprops, Arducopter 3.2.1. Autotune went fine. Flying is fine on roll and pitch. As soon as I yaw, even if just 10°, the entire copter destabilizes and…

Sascha M. replied to Josh Gluck's discussion ArduPPM sbus support.. I'm confused
"I've been using it for a while with no issues I noticed (orangeRX SBUS receiver)."

Sascha M. replied to Andrzej Borowiec's discussion Custom Scout X4 APM 2.6 - maiden flight and crash - what is in the logs?
"The APM never saw any sort of failsafe, so it can only be that your receiver switches to RTL on signal loss.. that's not recommended, btw. It's better to set up FS so that the throttle channel drops very low (~960) and activate radio failsafe on the…"

Sascha M. replied to Andrzej Borowiec's discussion Custom Scout X4 APM 2.6 - maiden flight and crash - what is in the logs?
"Wrong compass is plenty of reason for it to go bonkers and crash. Also, your voltage drops pretty far, may want to look into your power supply to the APM.
No failsafe was triggered from what I can see."

Sascha M. replied to Ryan Dibley's discussion Building ArduCopter for APM2 results in too large a .hex file (twice the size it should be)
"Actually, even the official hex is ~680 kb. The hex is always much larger than the actual data written due to checksums etc."

"Hook up the air radio to your PC using a ftdi or similar serial->USB adapter and adjust the settings to match again."

Sascha M. replied to Steven L Ladich's discussion Mini APM 3.1 - All latest versions of Arducopter fail to boot - Have to drop back to 2.9.1B
"Considering the MPU6000 runs on 3.3V, it has to have a 3.3v regulator somewhere."

Sascha M. replied to Sascha M.'s discussion Autotune "ERR: Autotune-2" Bad gains in ArduCopter User Group
"Vibrations are low, props are balanced.
The frame is rigid, it's a GFK frame with aluminium arms.
Motors are 900kv MS2216 on 11-12" props.. I don't think that qualifies as large prop/low kv.
It appears I have to set P/I to 0.1 or lower for autotune…"

Sascha M. replied to Sascha M.'s discussion Autotune "ERR: Autotune-2" Bad gains in ArduCopter User Group
"Annnd.. it happens again. Tried to run Autotune once more, since the roll value it came up with was way too high (1.825, copter was waving arms like crazy when flying forward).. Error: Bad Gains."

Sascha M. replied to Steven L Ladich's discussion Mini APM 3.1 - All latest versions of Arducopter fail to boot - Have to drop back to 2.9.1B
"Check your 3.3V voltage regulator, it may be blown. If not, then your MPU6000 is probably fried."

Sascha M. replied to Povl H. Pedersen's discussion Making 3D Radio into WiFi ?
"Not sure about iOS, but on android you can simply wire up a cheap bluetooth (HC-05) module to the radio serial pins and connect via BT."

Sascha M. replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter-3.2.1 Beta Testing
"Your compass Z offset is very high, which implies you did the compass calibration inside near other magnetic fields, or have i.e. magnetic metal screws near your compass.
You have repeated errors that the actual position and calculated position…"

Sascha M. replied to Kenneth's discussion Only 3 Motors spinning at any one time in ArduCopter User Group
"Check if your THR_MAX value is set to 1000, not 80. There's a bug that sometimes sets it to 80."

Sascha M. replied to Kenneth's discussion Only 3 Motors spinning at any one time in ArduCopter User Group
"Have you actually tried to get off the ground yet? While on the ground, unless it's perfectly level, it will attempt to level the quad and can not, since you are still on the ground. This is only an issue if it also happens while in a hover."
