I’m new to using DataFlash logs, I could use a little help :slight_smile:

Post a link to the .bin log file for help, Auto Analysis is not up to date. Did you perform a Motor Test in Mission Planner to determine if the motor order and direction are correct?

I was SO certain that I had the motors in the correct order (based on a diagram for F550 at DJI site) but I think you may have solved the problem! It appears that I have motors in the wrong order. Thank you very much for the quick reply!

The Ardu community is pretty awesome, I hope to gain enough experience to help someone someday :slight_smile:

Yeah the DJI motor order and rotation are different to Ardupilot.

Just mentioning it so others can see if they run into the same problem.
