"Hi.

I am building a brand new quad and should be ready by this weekend as my old quad is in a pile.

I will go though everything and post the results.

Thanks to all who have tried to help."

"Hi Thanks for the reply.

I 100% did do the compass calibration, so I dont know what happened there.
I also did the magnetic declination manually using the mapping site.

I will go back and check, I have loaded the firmware so many times that maybe…"

"Thank you Rob.

"Its frustrating to crash over and over.

Its more so to have the developers, not only not help, but argue about... nothing really.

DJI said pretty much the same thing a few years back. "Its you, its your fault" It then turned out to be a major  bug…"

"Thanks for the replies all.

I actually bought the NAZA first, but didn't like the fact that its a closed source product non modifiable product. There is a lot I would like to do with arducopter, if I could just find a fix for my issues.

I am an…"

"On one flight frame, I bought a brand new F550 from DJI.
Its a put together kit, and has no BECS in the ESCS. Its now in the trash. Several big crashes, lost 2 video transmitters, PTZ cameras, gimbals... not nice.
I ordered my first board for my…"

"Please keep us informed, if you can get to the bottom of the problem, your doing better than me."

"Its a tone of frustration.
Lots of people having these same issues. Once swapped with another type of autopilot, problems go away."

"Hi.

Yes, me and 3 other buddies gave up on Arducopter.

The programmers really need to stop developing new features and come back and fix the old problems.

It WILL crash, its just a matter of time. You can have 10 good flights, then bang, it'll…"

"Hi Randy.

I did post about the COMPASS_ORIENT being correct. I read up on that beforehand and understand that it needs to be set to ROLL_180 as the compass is mounted upside down.

I have uploaded the logs on page 2 of this thread. If you would be…"

"There are plenty of sucess stories and also plenty of failure stories to balance things out.

My own personal experience is one can have many great flights then all of the sudden have the unit act crazy and flip, Or get circles that often get bigger…"

"This setting was correct and was setup correct from the beginning. Roll 180 as its external compass is mounted upside down."

"Hi.

Yes, thats the worst part. It happens without warning and after so many perfect flights.

Its hard to imagine its a setup issue as the problems would happen all the time I would think?

As I've said before, 2 buddies of mine tried for quite a…"

"Joe,

Please check your device manager (if your using windows) and look for any "other devices" or devices without drivers. You need the FTDI usb to serial driver which should be an easy download. All of these devices are really serial devices with…"

"I have some more log files.

The first log shows a good flight, however loiter seemed to circle, but held the position.

The next 2 logs files right after the first show the problems, just using stabalize mode.

Are you able to see anything in…"
