In that case you should feel at home in the nightmarish minefield that is programming a Taranis ;)

Everyone is always quick to recommend the Taranis but a beginners radio it is not, like most of the open software out there in the RC world they can be extremely complicated, with the requirements of so many different people built in. They are a bit like a radio built by a committee ;). Watch...

Hi all I have built a tricopter using one of these frame kits http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__76263__Hobbyking_8482_Titus_600_Carbon_Fiber_Tri_copter_Frame_With_Integrated_PCB.html I am using a Pixhawk for the flight controller and all is setup and almost ready to fly, but I have...

Hi You are not alone, I have the same issue with mine, I can't get my radio to work any of the Aux channels, although I only have a 10 channel radio so can only work with Aux 1&2, I have tried them set to pass through and set a specific function for landing gear and nothing works, I am running...

Hi all Using Pixhawk and Mission Planner is it possible to use channels above 8 for mode setting, Channels 5,6 & 8 are normally used but as my radio had 10 channels I would like to be able to use channels 9&10 for mode setting g as well, is it possible, if it is were are the settings hidden in...

Hi What's with the huge amount of spam I hoped this would have been sorted before the merging of the forum with this one, as it was killing MultiRotorForums in its last days, but now it all happening here as well. Is anything being done to stop it, or will it be the death of this forum as it...

Hi I suppose one question might be did you waterproof all the electronics, it can be quite wet in clouds Did have all your fail-safe's set

Hi all A quick Pixhawk Question, "I hope" With the DF13 connectors used on the Pixhawk what is the actual size of the crimp used. I have seen reference to them being 1.25mm but also 1mm what size are they. At such a small size its difficult to tell. Thanks for any help with this Paul

Hi all Got a bit of an odd problem with my MiniOSD I need some help or advice with Whilst still awaiting the delivery of the restot of my FPV kit to arrive I started having a play configuring my MiniOSD ready for connection of the rest of the kit. I had watched a number of the usual YouTube...

Hi all I know it is possible to attach a sensor to the pixhawk to accurately control the hight the model flies at and units like the Lidar-Lite can be used. But what about the Arduino Sensors like this one...

Hi all Anyone tried one of the many low cost ebay Camera options for in flight video recording like the one listed below http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351640668953 Claims to be a 4K camera but at only 10FPS not really a usable option but claims 60FPS in 1080, although it does not say if thats...

Hi The HK version is said to be of a good quality I have 4 of the lower price eBay/Banggood versions and have had no issues that was not my fault, but I don't push them to their limits though which is where I suspect the real difference would become more obvious. In the UK I can get 4 for the...

The general rule for batteries is if you buy them from eBay or Amazon they will either be fake or counterfeit in some way. Either low quality with a well known brand counterfeit label, or a fraction of the claimed capacity or even a totally different low quality/capacity battery within a...

Hi all Need a bit of help with the use of servos connected to my Pixhawk The instructions with Arducopter says to only put analog servos on the Aux ports and never put them on the rest, but what about when using a tricopter configuration, thstcalls for the servo to be on pin7, so is it OK to...

Use two Cameras and get 3D FPV cool

Just to confirm It was the Geofence being enabled that was stopping it from running. All calibrations done now. Just need a calm day to try and fly them. Paul

If you only have ESC's connected to the Pixhawk you don't need to add a BEC to the servo rail. I have 4 ESC's connected to mine and they are all OPTO's and all work fine, and no other power is connected to the servo rail. Its my understanding you only need to add power to the servo rail if you...

I want to run the motors to do the magnetic calibration test and calibrate the Amp reading of the power module. Looks like it might be the fact that I have enabled geofence stopping me from doing it even though I have everything disabled. Will have another go when I get home to test.

Hi all For testing purposes is there a way to get a pixhawk to arm and run the motors indoors, for testing. I have tried turning then all off in the Arming Checks section on Standard Params but it still says need 3D fix to arm and i obviously cant get a 3D fix indoors Is there some way of...

Just in case someone stumbles across this with the same question The answer is iPPm & PPM sum is tha same as PPM used by most makes of RC Radio Gear so in my case my Turnigy/FlySky Gear works fine. Paul
