I have drift problems

Hi all,

I am part of an school team using pixhawk for the IARC competition.

We have an issue that there is significant drift as soon as we attempt to lift.

What I dont understand is that, shouldnt the calibration process take care of this?
ESC’s are calibrated correctly and weight distribution is done as best as possible.I am having a hard time understanding why there is significant drift despite our best effort to calibrate everything.

An Mbed board is directing commands to pixhawk from an Xbee transmitter. Should I be looking at our code or is there something else we can do?

Mission planner doesnt report any issues.

Thanks,

@voltizar,
I assume that you are using your Pixhawk as a navigation controller for a multicopter?
If that is the case, what version of the ArduCopter firmware are you using?
Also, please provide a tlog and/or datafash logs to help troubleshoot your issue.
