With 2.9.1b engaging Loiter the quad stays for 1-3 seconds and you can hear the motors are controlled, then suddenly it shoots up. Ive read about the throttle mid setting but if thats the case here wouldnt it shoot up straight away?
Im using this camera from hobbyking, and whenever i mount it on the frame the gps never get a lock, the blue led just keeps on blinking. When i remove the camera it gets a lock. Ive also tried to get a lock first THEN mount the camera and the blue
My copter flies pretty stable except i find it hard to find a position on the throttle stick that makes the copter stay at the same height. Its kind of either going slowly up or slowly down and seems to never stop. Ill make it stay for 1-2 seconds
Consider this scenario: I want to get the quadcopter up some meter..quite far, not very high but beyond the height where it becomes hard to see its rotation and whether it goes up or down.
1. Put it in Loiter mode and use the throttle to rise, but wha
I tried 2.3 for the first time tonight with my 3dr frame and apm1 2560.
In stable mode its very stable except an annoyind roll to the right. I have to adjust the stick and then it holds still. I even tried to adjust the stick with the small adjustment
My receiver doesnt have support for battery, so that means it only operates when the battery is plugged into the APM. However this isnt good for HIL simulation when only the APM is powered on by usb and the motors and esc dont need power.
One of my esc's isnt working. I used a multimeter on the cables going to the motor and no luck. The other 3 esc's has measurable power when turning up the throttle.
Its the signal cable that tells the esc to give power out through the 3 phases?
I was wondering if i setup my radio correctly. On the left I have the throttle and yaw. On the right stick i have pitch and roll. Just asking cause its a bit difficult to adjust the throttle without making the quad yaw..but then again im a newbie so
Can I solder the + and - cables from the esc's directly onto the pdb instead of using the deans connectors? (the new diydrones pdb in the 3dr frame-only-kit)
The 3DR frame kit comes with 4 dean connectors to solder onto the pdb, however the "opposite"
I see this cmos camera on diydrones store which looks neat and tidy..but how would you actually use this thing? It doesnt record onboard does it? Do you have to connect it to a fpv system and if so, do you have any example of what could be used?
Could someone help me with simulating the mission that my copter was lost with?
Id like to see in a simulation with flight gear or xplane where it would end up. Maybe its no point in doing it but if the hardware is flying in the sim then it should go
I tried a mission again and it looked like it was following point1 and 2 but after that it was just drifting away. I was wondering, what happens if a mission takes the arducopter out of range, will it abort and just go its own way? Atleast it did not
My quad starts to rise when I activate loiter mode or altitude hold. But it looks like it goes to a preset height because it stops after a couple of meters. Is this normal? Using firmware 2.38 uploaded with arduino.
Does anyone know what nut fits on the standard motors for arducopter? I lost the locking nut on top of the propeller and I decided to use normal nuts, but is it M4 or M5?
Crashed and the propeller came off.. This thing probably has a name but ill just call it "the blank screw", on top of the propeller that you use to tighten it onto the motor was lost. Now i either have to buy 2 new motors cause they come with the mot
I want to upgrade to using ardupirates code and installed arduino and configurator as stated on the ardupirates wiki but im not sure what code to download/sketch. Are you supposed to use svn and download from HEAD or download the zip from the downloa
