  Hi hightechhobbie,  

  Have you worked with your TKOFF_ .... parameters? Don't think you should be able to throttle up with the RC in auto.  You're accelerometer takes care of this & kick's the throttle on after the plane has left your hand.  Set the delay with TKOFF_THR_DELAY to the appropriate time... 'For hand launches with pusher propellers it is essential that this is set to a value no less than 2 (0.2 seconds) to ensure that the aircraft is safely clear of the throwers arm before the motor can start.'

  Hello james,

                    I am using  a taranis radio and a x8R receiver.Also using Sbus on pixhawk. I connected gimbal tilt wire (white)&Black(gnd) to RC9 on pixhawk and used the recommended settings for the PWM's.RC9 is the 1st set of connectors on the right of the pixhawk.Also powered tarot gimbal with 12 volt UBEC.Hope this helps.

  Real nice picture Larry, of yourTarot 680 pro hex.

  i have the same copter as you do and in final stages to fire it it up.

  I want to hook up my Gimbal Pitch and the retactable landing gear to the Pixhawk AUX ports, have you done this, if so how do you map it to AUX ports.

  I guess I could connect it straight to the Futaba R6802SB receiver I'm using , to the Channels 6,7,8 I have open on my Receiver, I'am using Sbus to Pixhawk on the RC port.

  I'm also using a Futaba RC 8TFG.

  What version of Firmware are you using, I'm using 3.3 RC8, they have been having a lot of Crashes on 3.2 Firmware

  Hi gavarma, i face your problem 6 months ago.

  finally i found that emax 4in1 esc is not compatible with pixhawk. It confirmed on emax website as well. I finally then replace the esc that previously working great with apm.

  Gavarma, I suggest you disable safety switch at all for the ESC calibration. Also in the full parameter list under ESC startup mode you can choose ESC calibration, than write and restart. And no need to change it back as AC will do it for you on the next startup.

  garvarma,

  The first time you plug the battery in with full throttle engaged, try not using the safety switch. Just plug in the battery, wait for the tunes to clear, and un-plug battery. When you plug the battery back in the second time, wait for a beep then lower the throttle, you should get a confirmation set of tones from your ESC's. I hope this helps you.
