"Hi all, been away for some time, my pix racer has just turned up so will be following this thread. Very impressed with the board, will hopefully be trying this on a traditional helicopter and when the next one arrives on a HK Go Discover.

malcolm churn replied to Rob_Lefebvre's discussion Is Anybody Using APM1 on TradHeli Anymore?
"I was about to do rebuild my 600, found the source of vibrations, bearings feel like they have notches in them, so new ones on order. Have already spoken to martin about 2.5+ board. So there is no point in trying with the APM1, especially if you…"

"Tried the Razor last night and now i seem to be getting a really harsh tale oscillation on 2.7.1, tried with and without the external gyro (futaba gy401). Things seem to be going backwards. I'm going to compile the older code mav 0.9 code2.0.40."

"Just arrived at the field and about to test 2.7.1, I have adjusted the pid's in stab mode to try and recreate the same movement the swash has on my flybarless controller (CGY750), it's an idea stolen from Robert :), I have a feeling that by removing…"

"I have just loaded the latest code 2.7.1, setup the heli, the apm is mounted a lot more solidly than it was before. Everything works well on the bench, I have removed the sonar and will be concentrating on getting the barometer to hold the altitude.…"

"In no way have i given up on the APM Robert :)  I want to get it working.... so i'm all up for any changes to the code and testing.
The WK-H works well, the engine has a very slight misfire coming from the carb insulator block (air leak) which kicks…"

"To be honest with you Robert, if i go back to 2.0.49 or what ever it was, and it kinda works then i'm back to square one. Also this is never going to work with a Gasser, if it cant handle the vibes from a balanced electric then how the hell is it…"
