About Me:
I'm a motion graphics designer with an interest in photography/videography, and now multi-rotors.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
New to the multi-rotor world, but have always been a huge aviation enthusiast. I've built a 220 size micro quad with the KK board. I spider frame 450 with another KK board. I'm currently building a S550 running a Pixhawk.

"garvarma,
The first time you plug the battery in with full throttle engaged, try not using the safety switch. Just plug in the battery, wait for the tunes to clear, and un-plug battery. When you plug the battery back in the second time, wait for a…"

"I am using a PM to power my Pixhawk. I also have a UBEC going into the rail adding a backup to the PM power supply. I'm interested in cleaning this up, will this 470uF capacitor work with my set up?"
"I would recalibrate your ESC's. I would also try lowering the gains on your PID settings.
What are the specs of your hex?"
What are the specs of your hex?"
"Update. I have solved the major issue with my Pixhawk working with my ESC's, for some reason the THR_MAX parameter was defaulted at 80, instead of 1000. Changing this has solved most of my problems. I am still occasionally hearing a grinding noise…"
"Thank you Artem and Harry for your input, it's greatly appreciated.
When I calibrate the ESC's, using the all at once method, they seem to behave fine while in this calibration mode. While still in calibration mode there have been times where one…"

"Anyone that has Spider 30A Opto ESC's working well with a Pixhawk, I'd love your advice. I have tried everything to get these to work with my Pixhawk. HELP!"
"Thank you Stuart. I have a couple quick questions.
What would you recommend I data log?
Do have any suggestions on methods to clean my power up? I'm using a PM.
Thanks!
Tim"

I would love some advice with these lines from my log fileTest: Compass = GOOD - No MAG data, unable to test mag_field interference(Loiter seems pretty locked in, so I'm confused about the "no mag data")Test: VCC = WARN - VCC min/max diff 0.351v,…
"All ESC's calibrated fine through RX throttle channel. Perfect linear response to RX throttle. I am using the SBUS, is there something there that could be causing this? My RX calibrates fine with MP and also works fine with an APM 2.6 quad I have.
I…"

"I don't believe the Spider 30A OPTO ESC's have this slow start feature. I'm still no where in getting this problem solved :("
"Thank you so much for your help. I have not used the Wizard, I have used the manual mandatory route. My RX calibrated just fine. Where do I find "mixing extra"? "
"I'm using a Turnigy 9X with a FrSky XJT JR module and a FrSky X8R receiver using the SBUS connection. When I do an all at once calibration, through the Pixhawk, I get perfect throttle response on all ESC's. I'm not sure if this what you are asking? "
