that's my question basically. i have a large x8 and in the process of trying to keep the GPS/compass away from the batteries and leads the GPS stand is a little wobbly. many many thanks in advance.
hi there,My company runs large X8 frames to deliver a variety of data. a small problem but not major is that once the pixhawk (running 3.2) is flicked into Auto it stops displaying data between way-points. like speed, climb rate, etc...everything…
"This happens when there is a discrepancy between compass heading and actual for more than a second. Move your gps compass module higher up on your frame away from batteries wires distribution esc's etc... Re do live mag calibration. Then also do a…"
"In advanced parameters list what's your rtl hight set at? I think default is 80m.if you have a rc failsafe set up correctly the first thing that will happen is the copter will rise to that altitude in the event of failsafe be initialised."
"Gps/mag didn't come loose? Flight controller didn't become slightly off? No mechanical failure of any sort?"
"Download the OSD configuration tool and it's pretty straight fwd to move any screen info to where you want. Follow the arducopter wiki or for more details the arduplane wiki."
"What I do is open up the 4 in1 esc, it's basically 4 skywalker 25amp esc's. solder on a program header on each silab and throw blheli firmware on, then in the GUI just set my throttle range to what I want. Works neat as!"
today I ran through the compassMot and just was a little stunned at my 60% precent result. I made up a little board to go under the apm with 2 layers of foil in it thinking that would give me some shielding but I was only able to get 50%. I made…
"make sure your frame configuration is correct. x or +. and make sure accel is calibrated."
"make sure that all you motors function equally. boot each motor up on servo tester to b sure"
"make sure your radio is bound to the receiver. even check an output with a servo to be sure."
today the guys at Bask Aerospace in Melbourne gave up over 2 hours of their time to help me trouble shoot my APM 2.5 with great success. I have bought 2 apm 2.5's from them and the service is unmatched. you can get them on the phone always and they…
"when I load the latest firmware, I can connect to my apm 2.5 over usb with no lipo connected and all is fine. I proceed to calibrate my radio, accel, and turn on current sensor, optical flow, and sonar. then I disconnect and try to reconnect. usb…"
hi, I have updated MP to 1.2.57 and tried everything to make the latest firmware load (I click on beta versions and wait till the icons change). same thing each time after it says 'done' 2 motors on my hex randomly spin and I cannot connect to the…
"Oh nice good to know. Just one question how can I roll back to 2.9.1b if I can't connect to my APM board? Thanks"
