Hey Cray, Sorry to have disappeared. I still have not flown my Tri yet, because only as of today, I have finally solved the very last problem, that DID pop up. The "No Mav Data" issue when running Telemetry, with a Minim OSD. Phew, What a hair pulling ordeal. Telemetry works fine, but no OSD...

Hey Cray, No lift off quite yet.... I am trying to get things just right, so I can consider this thing "done" I could though, but I am still hammering out some loose ends. Most of my instructables come from a guy on Youtube, called Painless360. excellent basic stuff. You said you were going...

OK Cray, Its working! Finally! Now here it is.... I feel good about myself, because I did wire this thing right in the first place..... First of all, I did not change anything. I kind of thought of what you reminded me of.... " if you saw the servo center when you armed, then there is a...

yes, one of the scenarios I am going to try is going to just simply bypass the step down converter and run it off of the apm board only.

Yes, all green bars move on the calibration page, and I have tested the servo separately with a servo tester. But now that I think of it, I am Not sure if I actually moved the rudder stick while the motors were running. I cannot recall if I did that. If that is the case, which is going to be the...

Yeah, it could be, I am going to look at RC_7, then try running it out of the servo rail, checking everything, then if that does not work, I am going to re map it to another output. If that does not work I'm cashing it in, and never using an APM board for a tri again. I have 2 more, and I...

Yes, I will try that for sure. I am going to try everything I can. The signal is already coming off the board, so what do I have to loose just hooking up the power, and the ground to the rail to see if it works. The problem with that is that This is a Mini APM, and the wires are small, small...

Hello, Cray Well, first of all of the esc's power leads are folded back on each other, and not used at all. I did this because of all of the stuff I have read about powering issues to the APM boards. I do not remember what I did with the grounds though. I will have to check. I like to keep...

OK, yes I will run the wizard. I am going to make sure the ch7 signal wire is the correct one again, just to make sure. The wires on the mini APM's are small, and I could have mixed it up even though I checked it twice. The esc's are from RTF quads, as is the board...

Sorry My bad, yes it is plugged into the ch7 on the APM mini.

Thank you for responding. Your response has cleared up some questions I had. My tail servo plugged into ch7 on receiver, and the servo is powered by and external step-down converter, plugged into the balance plug of a 14V lipo. The motors arm, I have no warnings. The servo has proper...

Got it figured, I just had to hook up the CPPM. It seems obody does it the old fashioned way anymore, heck the APM has been retired by the developers now too, now onto the next problem I'm set to go except one thing. My Tri Copter has no yaw servo movement. The signal seems to have no pass...

Anybody with experience in APM Tri copters? I'm sure this has been asked before, but I really need to get this thing off the ground. I'm set to go except one thing. My Tri Copter has no yaw servo movement. The signal seems to have no pass through. The motors spin up with the throttle, and...

#2484 Report flashted Hello guys, I have a Whitespy Mini APM 3.1 in a tri copter, and while in MP, I cannot get the radio to calibrate. All the green bars are there, but no movement when the click the button to calibrate. I have made sure the receiver is powered up, and bound, by...
