Is there a way to allow the motors to spin up to an idle speed after arming my APM 2.6??
It’s being done on the 3DR Iris!
Hi Wcs,
The feature is currently installed in APM and PX firmware, but the feature is defaulted to off at the moment and has to be enabled by setting a parameter in the parameter list.
It is quite possible that this feature will soon default to on.
But user confusion and the hazard represented by motors of widely different idle speeds and powers has resulted in it being at least temporarily set to default to off.
Best Regards,
Gary

Do you have the name for the parameter to set idle speed??

Hi WCS,
I’m pretty sure THR_MIN is the correct parameter, you can look at it in the wiki auto parameter list here: copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/arduco … terTHR_MIN
At the moment the motors running at minimum throttle when armed is off, but a debate is underway as to whether it should default to no or off.
And the parameter which enables motors spinning when armed is here:
