I am trying to get the mission planner to work. I have put in home position, and started with a take off to 20m. When I stwitch to auto mode and throttle up. the throttle goes a little but never a takeoff. What am I doing wrong. Does anyone have a guide to planner. The one on wiki page doesn't go into alot of detail.See More
Jereme Matthews replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help"Ok. I've completely redone my quad. I purchased the 850 motors and 12" blades from DIY Drones and Its flying a little better. But I'm having trouble fine tuning. Does anyone have a good tuning method. I…"
Jonathan M replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help"I agree with Chris. You definitely are in need of some bigger props with your motors. Try the 12x3.8 SF APC props if you can get them.
For tuning have you looked at the wiki http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Tweaks? It's…"
ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help
"The tuning guide is in the manual. Because you're not using the stock motors/ESCs, you'll have to do some tuning.
You should always use the latest code. It's currently 2.2b2 and the latest Mission Planner is 1.1.21"
Jereme Matthews replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help"Any pointers on fine tuning the PID."
Jereme Matthews replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help"2.2. Wasn't sure which one i should be using. I thought the battery would be ok, I tired flying with my 3s 2650mah batteries and it does the same thing."
ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Tuning help
"You battery is WAY too big for that frame (you should be using no more than 3600 for that), and as a result your whole quad is too heavy. I also think you should be using 12" props on those big motors.
What code version are you using?"
Jereme Matthews replied to Jereme Matthews's discussion Ardupilot, Hooked battery up and then it stopped working"I tried some different motors and esc's and they work fine. But these Turnigy Trust don't beep unless I hook up the usb first then the battery. "

I have the DIY Drones 3DR Frame, with Turnigy D3548/5 900Kv motors, Turnigy Trust 45A BESC's, 10 x4.5 Blades from DIY Drones, and 8000mAh Zippy 4s battery. Total weight is 5.2 lbs. I get it in the air and it flys good for a few minutes, then I have to work the elevator and Aileron back to keep it from flying straight forward and left. If I land it and take out again it works for a little. Not sure what else to do. Also, I'm not to…See More
