    XAircraft Using SuperX following a mayor crash?

    It is very odd for this controller to go crazy. Not impossible though. Im one of the people whom never had a super X go nuts. At most I've had a bad GPS signal. But once a controller does what yours did it becomes hard to trust again. But there is a lot of evidence that points to the GPS...

    XAircraft Using SuperX following a mayor crash?

    Did it become unresponsive first and than go out of control or did it seem to happen all at once? Was the GPS antenna plug pulled out of the I/O module or was a cut piece of it found? Did the ship flip on its way down? Did you activate the failsafe manually or did the ship go into failsafe on...

    XAircraft Using SuperX following a mayor crash?

    take a look at your yaw and heading data. You will see how just before the crash the magnetic heading becomes way different than what the yaw data (gyro) says. Yaw data seems to remain more or less constant while the magnetic heading becomes way different. This in combination with the GPS flying...

    XAircraft Using SuperX following a mayor crash?

    It's hard to tell. Taking a look I see some interesting stuff right at the end of the flight. From top to bottom. I see you were in GPS mode and then the fail safe turns on just before the crash. I can see some erratic RC control inputs at the very end probably in your response to the ship...

    Actually Both of you are misunderstanding me. The Super X does not have a built in low battery failsafe RTH trigger but rather a low battery alert. I'm taking about the RTH or Auto Land being activated by the Super X controller when the voltage has reduced to a certain level. No where in the...

    I've recently built a heavy lift X8 with Pixhawk for my cameraman. He lives in Maui and messes around with a DJI Phantom. But the constant winds in Maui give him trouble and he ended up crashing it in the ocean. He recovered it but the electronics were toast. The X8 I built him is obviously much...

    I test flew the recalibrated Super X's. It works great. The leveling issue is gone. But what a hassle. I have not gotten a single reply from Tech Support. A forum member (traxx2003) had to help me out. He had the proper file I needed to fix it. But what happens next time when there is a new...

    So here is a little update. Its been a little while since I posted about the leveling issue with the Super X. After installing the new status file via the instructions it appears to have worked. I have not test flown it yet. But all looks OK according to my computer. But the way, it doesn't...

    As motopreserve said it is all open source so he's right. Technically there is no clones. There are just cheaper versions. If you buy the whole set from 3DR your looking at around $400. Thats for the controller, Radio Modem, GPS and accessories. If you buy a china version it will cost around...

    Fly it around on a test quad for a while and see what you think. Start reading the instructions for the Pixhawk in the meantime. The address is copter.ardupilot.com Their very detailed and easy to follow. BTW... any luck on finding the file?

    I can tell you based on the controllers i've used. Hoverfly was the first. Excellent controller. It was super stable, smooth and I would use it on my big Octo's. However the GPS features were very under developed. All other manufacturers passed them up very quickly. It was manufactured in the...

    XAircraft Is Xaircraft Technical support gone? I need help.

    I originally started out with Hoverfly. It was that most stable controller I've ever used. But something happened behind the scenes to the boards development. During that time I was also messing with APM. Then I moved onto the Super X. But I do fly the Pixhawk on my other ships a lot. Their...

    Thank you very much for the help! My email address is mspencer32@gmail.com I'll follow the instructions and see how it works! BTW, one of the problem controllers I have was doing this out of the box as well.

    I've contacted their primary support email several times and no response. I'm not sure what to do. After reading this thread, I understand there is a calibration file i'll need to get? The only other option is to abandon the controller. That really sucks to since these are very stable controllers.
