Can anyone help figuring this out? I am attaching two log files. Based on calculations I have the right battery. But the drone lands on its own less than a minute after takeoff.I have tried it outdoors and indoors as well so there might be variance…

Hello, I was testing out the Autotune feature with my drone, which has a Pixhawk with ArduCopter 3.2.1 on it. I have autotuned before with another drone and didn't have any issues on that one. The battery was at 65% after it landed.I am attaching…

Sj replied to Sj's discussion How to run a python script when MAVProxy starts up?
"Thank you Andrew for your help! Will check it out!

Quick query however - so to run custom modules as part of mavinit.scr, is there a predefined command structure? Apart from the "module load name"? (Just to understand this better).

Thanks again!"

Oh okay. Yeah it would be awesome!When you say "still under development", how far ahead would you say it is at the moment and how can I stay up-to-date with its development? Thanks!"

I want my script to run right after MAVProxy starts up and is done with it's checks.I try to add it to mavinit.scr but it just tries to execute it before it runs all its initial checks leading to errors.What is the alternative? I am running MAVProxy…

Hello,I am using the ardupilot/arducopter open source code to try and manually set the pwm values on the four channels corresponding to rpy and throttle. I am usinghal.rcin->set_overrides(array, 4)to change those values. This does seem to work.I am…

Sj replied to Sj's discussion How to output PWM values from UART of PX4 via BeagleBone while using ArduPilot code
"Thanks for the reply Steve. I did refer to the UAT_test. I seemed to have figured it out by writing to the uartE instead of printing anything. I then just read at the UART from the BeagleBone.That does work if I use the write function specified for…"

Sj replied to Thaddeus's discussion Where does Pixhawk cliSerial/hal.console output go?
"Good to know I am not the only one. I am trying to get PMW output from the PX4. I tried the printf and the write commands to the UART and also to the console. I then use a microcontroller to try and read at the UART using python serial library. I…"
