I would like to lower the loiter down speed.  I can't find where this can be done.  I am running 3.2.1 firmware.  It used to be done with WP_NAV_DOWN apparently this will only work during a mission now.  Is there an adjustment?Thank you for any help.

Could someone please help me.  I have a pixhawk knock off from HK.  My mission planner has never been upgraded to 3.3 firmware.  When I load 3.2.1 something is going wrong.  I do an auto tune and it does a yaw as if its 3.3.  The quad does all sorts…

"Actually I do get the altitude in feet with taranis set to imperial.  Its the T1 and T2 that I believe need to be converted to Celsius in the teensy code.  Then I think the T1 armed and T2 Gps lock would read correctly.  My problem is I have no idea…"

"Could someone tell me how to get altitude in feet.  When I change the taranis to imperial units T1 and T2 get screwy numbers.  I think it is converting celsius to Fahrenheit.  I have the original code on my teensy the 1.2  Any help would be great."

Tracy DeWitt replied to Tracy DeWitt's discussion Battery failsafe will not come in.
"Reinstalled mission planner.  Went thru start up wizard it  still will not initiate a failsafe and RTL from loiter mode.  I'm using a taranis with teensy to see the actual voltage.  Worked on this for another 3 hours this evening.  I'm out of ideas."

I set my battery failsafe to RTL at 14.1 volts.  Left my quad in loiter and the voltage drops below 13.6 and it does not come out of loiter. APM 3.0  I rechecked it 3 times.  I got a RTL with the mAh setting but when I removed it and set up the low…

"FYI   Make sure you have the units on your taranis set to metric.  Had mine on imperial and got a lot of crazy readings.  Working great!  Thanks again Rolf."

"Rolf, 
I am going to order a teensy 3.1.  I have a taranis transmitter that I would like to get data from my apm.  To be clear,  you did get this up and working.  What are you showing on your taranis screen?  I am mostly interested in altitude and…"

"Connected receiver directly to each esc one at a time. Drove motors with props on aggressively moving throttle.  I could not make any go out of sync.  I don't know what to do put fly it and keep an eye on any development in esc's."
