Bartman, I have done some trials to test your theory.. When i connect the board to the computer the horizon is perfectly leveled every time. "Shake" the craft around, and at first horizon gets back to level. Then after few minutes and few shakes the horizon is off to the right by 2-3...

Bartman, I bought the boards brand new 2 years ago. I only got to use them now. I have 3,6 hours of flight time on them (checked last night). Reflashed, recalibrated temp and acc using the bubble lever as recomended. Just a note for someone who is doing this the first time: It is important to...

Paul, It could be so, bat alarm on telemetry was set to 14v, as i am using 4s. As i was trying to figure out whats wrong with the trims i may have drained them to a bit lower than 14v. So that might explain the yawing or pitching forward issues but it stil leaves me with artificial horisont not...

Bartman, Black boards, little less than 2 hours of flight time. Bought them brand new. I did the temperature, acc and mag calibration as described in the manual an here on multirotor forums. I did notice a strange thing on HF setup software: When i connect the board the artificial horisont on...

Hi guys, Well, I am trying to set autolevel trims for past fiew days withouth sucess. I lift the hex off in manual, switch to autolevel then trim it out until it stands still in the air. Land in autolevel, disarm, disconect the batt, switch to manual, connect the power back on, liftoff again...

Hi guys I got two GPS antennas with my gps board (hoverfly). Broke the first one (not the ublox) in a crash. Well, the other (ublox) one survived my second crash but now is unreliable as it takes an eternity to obtain satelite lock. There are no visible damages to the antenna, but it is not...

Telemetry guys, telemetry

Thnx tahoelight, that sure helps. I`ll sure inform You of the results. For now i dont have any power filters, but i plan running the VTX from the separate lipo (3sp 1050mah). I`ll try it like that and then if no good i`ll get some filters. But I still have a ton of work to do to get things...

Hi guys, I know that this subject has been chewed through a lot of times, but i sure need some help here, becouse i am stuck.... I am using HFP black board with GPS board connected. I am using a separate 3s lipo to power the video tx. Camera is GOPRO 2 (it has its own batt so no need for power...

Slow down Fred... Try to relax... Open a bier and don`t rush... Last time I rushed i almost lost a thumb to a mad multi.... I wish i could help U with a practical advice but I can only help u like this

Ok, checked and rechecked. The problem is with the antenna cable that I soldered to get it longer. Pin to pin all the connections are ok but the diameter of the cable is a bit diferent, so it wont work. I ordered a new, longer one so hopefuly everything wil be ok when I conect it. I still...

When I start the calibration process (throttle up ad right without arming) the HF Pro blinks green, but GPS unit blinks purple and it does not change the color. HF starts beeping and blinking red, and it does not stop ( it should beep only twice and blink green). I have not been able to obtain...

Really ,really mean looking rig. And cool flying too...

No, not a single one. I am waiting for a crimping tool. I`ll report on the progress.. Thnx for the comments guys

Thnx for the reply I use OPTO ESCs, they do not have BEC built into them. So no power from that side to power the RX. Ill go with the BECs red and black wire on one of the ESC connectors going to the HF FCB. The board should act as I have plugged a normal ESC with built in BEC into it. I also...

...

I guess it would be odd to leave the connector hanging on just signal wire.. Anyways just realized that one of the ESCs is not working..Ordered two.. Now the waiting part

Thnx JZ! BEC is already in the loop. Its under the red battery wire on the picture.Its this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16663__HobbyKing_HKU5_5V_5A_UBEC.html I also see no reason why that would not work. I am wondering, what is the red wire for on the OPTO BEC signal cable...

This is the bird Or at least bird`s nest of wire mesh Can I use power line (red wire) from the bec and connect it instead of the red wire from one of the ESCs? Or maybe get a 40A hobbywing regular ESC with bec and change one of the OPTO ESCs with it? pfff First multirotor build, what can I...

Yeah, it`s an octo. Looks like I forgot to mention a bunch of really important details, sorry.. Octo + (mikrokopter XL frame) 8x MK3638 - black Brushless Motors 8x hobbywing 40A OPTO ESC homemade octopus power distribution HF pro black board HF GPS DX 8 Spektrum with R8000 and TM 1000 Thnx for...
