Hello. could you kindly tell me if there is a way to adjust dead band like there is in betaflight. I've been discouraged from using my APM because of drifting and I know it could be corrected but no matter how much research I do I can't find a way to set dead band in mission planner
Sir I have done each & Everything except configuration setupin apm 2.8 mission planner so my drone arm and disarm runs same but never fly flip in the Right direction of board can you tell me.?
Sir what will be best compas calibration value bec am not able to do it and values are so high than u shown in your video and also when I make my drone stand right it shows on pc that I have move my dron to left at home page (data page) even after right calibration at setup page
Power module is used as regulated power supply To convert 12v from lipo battery to 5v needed for APM You can also power ur APM using ESC without even using power module. This way I have shown in my video.
Please help me my Quadcopter is not hovering properly it keeps moving towards one side I tried esc calibration but didn't work . I am. Using same configuration like yours
Hello sir I need help I use apm2.8 in Quadcopter and my drone is automatically rotate left side on its axis try everything like yaw trim but nothing is working please help me
This might be because of, 1. Wrong propeller or motor spinning direction/wrong motor layout - this things I have already explained in the same part2 video at the end. Verify once 2. Repeat the esc calibration - czcams.com/video/P-HbV_d7dIU/video.html
In the Radio calibration, check whether channel 4 is present for rudder stick (stick used to arm) Also , arming issue happens sometimes, if the GPS doesn't get satellite connection. Try taking it to different place.
Hello, I am Abdulkadir Badur. I am a graduate of mechatronics engineering.
