"the only solution I found was to upgrade the firmware as the next release became available. It seemed to clear the issue up. Keep the compass/GPS and flight controller as far as you can from the esc it creates a lot of RF noise."
"this is the dagu robot 5 for the moment and I'm not really looking for speed just indicating that the change in speed setting had no effect. It goes much faster in Manual mode though that is not particularly snappy.

"Compass variance error persists.
I've tried placing a copper shield underneath the pixhawk and elevating the gps/compass to no avail.
I've swapped gps/compass module and tried another i2c cable for the compass and same result.

"Hi Thomas,
I'm having issues with the compass variance error. I've done several live calibrations with tremendous offsets (900 or more) and have tried entering the declination info manually to no avail.
Next step would be to elevate the…"

"Thanks for the clarification. Please refer to my statement in my prior reply: "TCIII is clearly more knowledgable here"!
Looking up - 2 gps setup with pixhawk. i2c connection, no problem, what about bringing in other connection from 2nd GPS?
Much…"

"Hi Michal,
I will be setting up the wild thumper with pixhawk near the end of this calendar year as part of a high school program I run. Its called applied tech high school and we will be using the 6WD thumper for the entire year. First setting it…"

"thanks once again.
Compass variance error seems to be causing auto mode to behave oddly - compass is spinning slowly though I have calibrated several times. I've also tried manual declination setting without luck.
googled it but not certain what is…"

"thanks for that tip Thomas!
I've done a lot of mission planning for air vehicles. Does the rover require a "take off" command in the script or will throttle initiate?
Seriously can't thank you enough for the rapid response!"

"thanks for your help Thomas,
I was able to get it working manually via pixhawk today with the connections as follows:
PPM Encoder 3 to Aileron
PPM Encoder 1 to Elevator
PPM Encoder 8 to Gear
PPM Encoder 7 to Aux
Mode channel in mission planner is…"

"Hey Grant,
Thanks so much for your detailed response.
I'm referring to using an aircraft rc controller - in this case a dx6i spektrum with a 6 channel dsmx air receiver for manual control.
The alternative would be a dx4c controller that is used for…"

I'm a technology instructor at a new Applied Tech HS setting up a long term rover project and working out the kinks over the summer. I will ultimately be using the Dagu wild thumper and a sabretooth dual brushed esc. for our projects. For now, due…
