Hello, I have a RTF Y6 that has been glitchy when flying lately. When it is on a flight plan in auto mode it starts zipping to the side and all around and actually flips over and upside down. When I switch to RTF it tries to return and then just…
I've been having an ongoing issue for about almost a year now, whatever I'm doing is not helping. Sometimes my Y6 will fly fine, and then it won't and then it will again. When it doesn't, it goes from "toilet bowling" to twitching and different…
"Sounds good, thanks very much!"
"Thanks Michal,
Do you know if I have to do anything special in Mission Planner for the Pixhawk cam_trigger log feature? This is what I found on it:

"Thanks for the ideas, I do use CHDK but am pretty inexperienced at doing anything but having it take a picture every 3 seconds. I will look into this some more."
"Just checked out the video on the process, that is definitely worth looking into. It looks by your picture that it really fixed the problem. Thanks this helps a lot! I also looked into peau productions, and I think they offer modifications for ndvi…"
Hi Everybody,I currently have a Canon SX260 with near-infrared capabilities that I attach to my 3DR Y6. I also use the GoPro camera that it came with. My SX260 keeps getting damaged from dust, and I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem? I…
Hi,I'm looking into purchasing the DJI Phantom, but I would really like an all-purpose UAV that I could have decent images that I can stitch together with photo-processing software. I haven't been able to find much on the specs on the camera…
"On the flight data tab, it says PreArm: Compasses inconsistent. I calibrated the compass before and after that, so I'm not sure if I need to keep calibrating or if I need to look into something else. It doesn't show up consistently."
"It was on a level surface, and everything started out well until I tried to arm, it just gives a low error tone. Thanks for the warning though!"
"Ok, so here is my progress. I updated firmware to 3.2. It warned me that I had to perform the compass calibration. To be safe, I did compass, accel, ESC, and radio calibrations. When I calibrated my ESC, I tested motors and throttled up and all…"
"Do you know if I have a Y6B, if I should be selecting ArduCopter V3.2 Tri or ArduCopter V3.2 Y6 for flight version when installing firmware? The Y6 option looks like it has a different motor/propeller setup than mine does."
"I think I'm going to check on switching out the ESC based on what everyone is responding, and I will look into the PDB as well. Thanks for all your suggestions! I will post on here when I've completed the calibrations and fixes, I'm hoping to get it…"
Hello, I posted this as a reply to a previous discussion I had, but thought I would start a new one too.I connected my 3DR Y6 to Mission Planner, hoping to check calibrations, and I noticed the top back motor wasn’t spinning. I just recently (a…

"Hi Taylor,
These look great! Very interesting work. I don't think I have a full mosaic that is at quite that level of detail right now. Next season I will be sure to check out my Field of View setting and check how vibration is to get a better…"
