I have been working on earlier versions of Mac OS X in the work shop but was having trouble downloading firmware so decided to use the office computer which is now on OS X 10.12 Sierra.
I was able to download Copter 3.4-rc5, although very slowly, and it installed.
Powered everything down and then went to calibrate the sensors.
And this is where things stop working.
I have quit APM Planner and powered down the Pixhawk a few times but still the same results.
-
Initial setup/Frame type - Y6B is the only selectable frame type even though Octo firmware was installed.
Download Parameter/Refresh and nothing happens, list appears empty although 3 blank lines can be selected. -
Compass Enable and Auto declination greyed out and manual field not selectable.
Live calibration fails with ‘Not enough data points collected’ tried 3 times, same result. -
Accel Calibration- Calibrate MAV007 Time remaining until timeout countdown with no other buttons.
Clicking Calibrate Accelerometer just resets counter. -
Flight Modes - selected 6 flight modes and clicked ‘Write’ with the bar graph staying at 0%.
Usually moves to 100% when written.
At this point I decided to try and reload the firmware.
Same result.
Reloaded Rover to erase everything and tried Compass calibrate, same result.
Reloaded Octo just make sure it was not a bad load, the download takes over 3 minutes. It’s never been this slow before.
Same result.
In the end I used Fusion and Mission Planner.
