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

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.

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.
