So, I followed the online vids and tutorials for setting up my tricopter. I calibrated the HKpilot 2.7 accelerometer off the tri and also the compass.
I have now mounted the electronics on the tri and couldn’t get the FC to stay armed. i thought it was the auto disarm so I went to try it again but now I am not even given the option to arm.
The preflight returns a Bad GPSPOS error. I cannot arm my copter even in stabilize mode.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change something other than the check mark for external compass? Is it just cause I am inside? Trouble is, I haven’t changed my test location and before it was never returning the GPSPOS error.
I would try another calibration for both IMU and Compass. Make sure you watch the video on how to calibrate the compass. I would also make sure your GPS is connected and operating. If you still have troubles please post .bin or .log file and I might be able to see what is happening.
So, I was able to arm the tri but I am still getting a disarm shortly after the initial arm. I have raised the throttle a bit and then lowered it as I don’t have props connected.
It will sit for a short while and then disarm. Is this cause it sees that it isn’t flying?
A good GPS position (hdop <= 2.0) is required if you’re trying to arm in a mode that requires the GPS (like Loiter, PosHold) or if the circular fence has been setup.
