"Oh boy that would suck if the internal compass was on the fritz. I'm sure that's not an easy fix. I tried the MAG_ENABLE option in Mission Planner and it disabled both the internal and external it appears. I couldn't get over 3 samples with it on…"
"I don't know if this is a Pixhawk problem or build problem but I can not get an acceptable compass calibration. I have done just about every method even spinning in an office chair. At the end of 20 minutes of spinning and 1700 data points I still…"
"I would like the pixhawk if its still available."
"Excellent work."
"Buying 2, my 14 month old son is going to have the best science projects in 7 years. Thats the logic I use for these purchases but flawed that it doesn't work on my wife. Any chance we can get the full company name on the front or back of the…"

"I would agree to calibrate your ESCs. I have 10in props on a Disco with 930kv motors and I hover at 40%"
"Good evening all. I don't know if the problem I'm about to explain is 3.1RC7 or Mission Planner issue but I have noticed it on multiple occasions since testing the RCs. I was tuning Alt Hold P using channel 6 on my ER9x and I set the the min to be…"
"Your best bet is to use google to search the site. Do a search like this: gimbal site:diydrones.com"
"Good job, ill be getting back to mine soon, hopefully this evening. Its not easy to juggle a newborn and a hobby. "
