ijustwanttofly replied to ijustwanttofly's discussion Need help analyzing log - sudden drop/crash switching flight modes
"Good point on APM version.  I think when I swapped out APMs I never upgraded to the last version that fits APM 2.X (3.2.1).  As for the channel, yea, I never liked that one either but I use dragonlink on PPM.  By default they have throttle on…"

"The description is consistent with how I perceived the failure in real time.  I'm trying to get my view in Mission Planner to illustrate no RCIN/RCOUT at the time it was in Alt-Hold and determine if it happened at the exact time it entered the…"

I know there's all kind of stuff out there now to improve readability of the data flash logs but I still struggle to get what I'm looking for. I just had my Ironman 650 drop to the ground right around the time I switched to AltHold or Loiter mode.…

"Not sure how to reply to the Feb 20th discussion since it's marked as a permalink (not sure what that is on the forum) on altitude resetting after changing to loiter mode.  I know Jonathan Challinger replied that it seems to be a MinimOSD bug, but I…"

"Your not alone.  I'm having the same exact problem with 1.3.2 .... I had almost 5 thousand data points and finally gave up."

ijustwanttofly replied to ijustwanttofly's discussion APM 3.0.1 quadcopter drops from sky
"Yea I saw that too.  I'm using a JD-IOboard and those are the default flashing sequences on the channel it's hooked up to (I think it's left and right).  I'll double check to make sure they are not coming from mavlink but I know they flash all the…"

ijustwanttofly replied to ijustwanttofly's discussion APM 3.0.1 quadcopter drops from sky
"I really appreciate the input and analysis on this.  That makes a lot of sense.  I know I didn't bump the throttle to 0 so it seems logical that the connection from receiver to APM may be the problem.  I'm going to actually replace all 4 cables from…"

I'm having an issue that happens periodically where for no apparent reason, my quad (tarot ironman 650) falls from the sky.   Since my last drop, I'm now running with a brand new APM and 4S battery.  I've attached the log from this latest drop and…

ijustwanttofly commented on Jani Hirvinen's blog post Adding more features to IOBoard
"I'm a little confused....does IOBoard_FrSkyMAVLink.v03a include everything that's in jD_IOBoard_MAVLink.15.hex and/or can they be used together?
I'm also using openTX and can get values to display on my radio display but they are not all making…"

"I had a similar problem with my quad.   would fly typically 3 minutes or less before the crash but sometimes 8-10 minutes.  I suspected a motor or esc and pretty much did what you are doing. Then I found I could save money on props and other carbon…"

ijustwanttofly replied to Glenn Henderson's discussion Need Help w/APM 2.5 & a LEA-6h GPS/Compass cable requirements
"I have the exact same GPS and had the same questions.  Actually I have 2 of these since I crashed with the first one on and it ruined the GPS by pulling the connector from the board itself.  Interesting though is that they seem to work slightly…"
