Hi Johnno, The gimbal was sort of vertical - slightly tilted (I thought my camera was running but apparently not) both pitch and roll without weight. Never got a chance to see what it did with weight as it rolled over - twice. I used the exact same weight as my 5N - something like 370 grams...

Went out and did a successful hover test today! As Peter promised (and Robone mentioned) #4 did NOT cut out once I got airborne. Took a few tries to get it airborne with weight on the gimbal substituting for the camera. Crashed twice - really just a roll over - no real damage. After I took...

Hey Guys, Need some help. According to ZeroUAV the problem with the motor stopping is (what we used to call in the software business, an undocumented feature!) normal while on the ground and NOT a problem! Here is the message from them: you are so Careful . in the ground you can test the...

Rob, thanks for the advice. Since I checked the connections from the #4 output of the FC by swapping out the motors and got consistent results, it has to be something that either is effecting the output on #4 or has to do with the receiver/SBus or transmitter (I think). I wonder if there is...

Result from tie down test were not good :( Even at take off rpm #4 cuts out! I have also lost my roll control on the gimbal (transmitter knob no longer works - tilt is still okay). Tough trying to troubleshoot....is it firmware? Bad connection somewhere (though I can reproduce the problem...

Okay, another problem (almost) solved. Got the gimbal working (but for some reason my roll knob isn't working any longer- need to check the receiver). Turns out it was the firmware all along. Apparently there is a different firmware for the Steadi470 that is not the same as the YS-X6 (Steadi...

Went through all the suggestions Peter asked me to. And I tried going back to the October version of the FW. Neither solved the problem. However, I think the problem with the gimbal may be getting isolated. Peter asked me to setup on cntl 6, press alignment, then check attitude angle on...

Thanks Johnno and Robone. Actually, ZeroUAV has been trying to help out. Peter, the support guy has suggested a number of things. I think part of the problem in troubleshooting this is the language barrier. Peter does pretty well with English - I, on the other hand, don't do any Chinese! I...

Anyone using the latest Firmware upgrade 11-28-12? Every since I loaded it, the stabilizer no longer works properly. I am still having difficulty with motor(s) cutting out with full elevator, aileron and rudder. Been trying to work with Zero directly but it is very painful!!!!! I am REALLY...

I swapped position 3 and 4 and got the exact same issue occurring on motor 3 now. Kind of tells me that the problem is isolated to M4 output on the flight controller. (At least I know the ESC and Motor are okay.) Anyone have a suggestion?

Here is a dumb suggestion (because I am sure you already have done it!!!) - motor 1 CC, 2 c, 3 cc, 4 c and pusher/regular props? I didn't want to insult you by even suggesting it. Also, I am running into an issue with #4 motor cutting out for no apparent reason. After calibration of...

I sent the link to this forum thread to Peter at ZeroUAV. Maybe he will join in. Seems to be the support person.

Yes, it has turned out to be a bear! I have put together 4 multirotors in total. Programed up the KK board, Mega-Pirates Open Source, Naza and now this. By far, this is the most difficult. I think because documentation is so poor. For the assembly of the quad (including electronics) there...

A couple of things have come up. After calibrating the stabilizer, there are no "stops" to restrict the camera from bumping into landing gear. Is that how this works? Or is the max point the point were I am calibrating roll and pitch? The servos are SHRIEKING! Also, #4 motor stops around...

I have found that balancing the props on the multicopters is pretty important if you want steady video (I know with GoPro the term is "jello"). Since these props are so large (I am used to 10.45) I would think an out of balance condition would really shake things up. I purchased a set of...

What are you using for a battery? I have found a low voltage warning buzzer helps a lot and they are only abut 3 or 4 bucks on ebay. I am surprised though, that the quad went down so quickly - I would expect a soft landing once the flight controller detects low battery. You might want to...

Anyone have a suggestion as to what I might be doing wrong with updating the firmware? Unable to get updated firmware file to run. ?? http://youtu.be/lUsr7Nq3A_A SOLUTION: Had to rename the file using all English letters. After that, all was okay. Here is the link to the correct process...

I am using control type 6 as it shows on the Zero video. Though no telling if that has changed. Have not updated the firmware yet. Probably should do that before I set everything up since I understand it wipes out everything. But wanted to get familiar with setup first. One thing I did...

Hi Johnno, I began setting up my transmitter tonight and all you need to do is the control calibration in the install guide (end points of transmitter controls). Other than that, the ATRE is ready to go. Finished assigning all the switches etc and am working my way through. Not too bad so...

Well........before setting up the Steadi470 for flight I (tried) had to balance the camera stabilizer. Unforturnately, a few issues arose. First, I had to lower the battery as far down as possible so that the camera would counter balance which caused my first issue. The inner tube got stuck...
