"Either frame works well but I suggest you go with the X frame.
I assume you have a limited budget therefore keep your requirements simple.
Select a frame that fit those requirements. Example, I have a frame that can hold a camera. I don't need a…"

"Thanks gentlemen.
I will purchase the 3DR compass and cable and give it a try.

I have two APM 2.5. I have been busy the last year or so and just getting back in. The only difference between the two APMs is the 2.6 does not have the GPS and compass? I was thinking about severing the connection on the 2.5 and adding the HMC5883L…
"I would check CLI also to make sure.
I think setup - frame.
When I had the issue I enabled motor logging to see what was going on. I had output on motors 5&6.
Checked the frame and Bob's you uncle."

I had this problem before exactly in you video.
Copter was config for hexa instead of a quad.
Check the configuration in CLI."

I suggest posting to a forum, you will receive more help.
The hubs have to be on tight. I check and double check but they work. I have never had one come off.
Also I agree with Jeff. Quads have the potential for serious injury. I took baby steps…"

"Yes the switch was off, really strange.
Good idea about charging it with my battery charger.
I will give that a try.

My DX8 started to vibrate and make noise one evening with the power button in the OFF position.Enough noise to wake me up.Plugged the charger in and no difference. I had to remove the battery.Tried charging it the next day but the battery won't go…

"Hold on,
If the throttle wired fell off, wouldn't that trigger RTL because of lost PWM?
Granted you RTL would have to be setup.

"I have a DX8 and 2.5 and it works pretty good.
Just need some tuning on the APM side.
If I can figure out how to download the setup then I can send it to you.

"In my testing so far, I don't thing GPS will work without other sensors.
GPS is good to about 3 meters if I understand correctly so it could leave strips of grass uncut.
I plan to use GPS but to identify locations in my yard including the front and…"

"I don't think waypoints will work. GPS doesn't have the resolution.
I'm using sensors to detect objects and I was thinking about conecting it to a computer (maybe through Wifi) to detect color. I don't want it leave the lawn or go in the garden."

"I'm building a lawn mower using a APM.
I have the frame and motors complete. I have to figure out how to add the APM to run the motors.
It has been awhile since I worked on the project. Busy with work.

"If you bench test it, what do you see for throttle? High PWM?
Motors direction correct? Sounds like the motors are backwards, should be going full speed forward?
