Hi
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?
If someone could

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

Read more…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

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.
Is it poss

Im not sure what is wrong and what I can do to further investigate this. 3 of the escs are working but the one for the left motor does not.
Ive tried to unplug the 3pin signal cable from the pdb and connected the front esc to the same connection and
Read more…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?
How can

The 3DR frame kit comes with 4 dean connectors to solder onto the pdb, however the "opposite"

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
