Hello All, I am having an issue with stability and random movements. I do not understand what I am looking at in the logs. Does anyone have the time to teach me what the log is saying. Thank you for your help
Let’s start with what won’t work.
You won’t get Dshot on the Main Outputs of a Pixhawk. You have to use the Aux outputs and re-assign the motors accordingly starting with SERVO9_FUNCTION (Aux 1).
Dshot1200 is not reliable, set it to Dshot600.
Set this back to default (0) SERVO_BLH_OTYPE
Set this to 1 or 2 depending on whether you have BLHeli32 or BLHeli_S ESC’s
SERVO_DSHOT_ESC
The motor outputs are oscillating badly but fix the above stuff 1st and then make a simple hover flight in AltHold for a minute or so. You will need to configure the Dynamic Notch Filter so set INS_LOG_BAT_MASK to (1) before doing the flight. Then post that log.
Describe the components on this craft and the take-off-weight (with battery).
That was a crazy flight. I made the changes and it flew but was surging like mad. I had to switch to stable because it was not controllable. The quad is a 500 frame, Pixhawk 2.4.8, SunnySky 2212-980, 3S, 35A BLheli32 ESC, dual gps, 10" props, 1495g with battery, 5500mah…
Just an update. I did a pass through connection to blheli suite and found that the ESC were out of sync from the master. I flashed and reset all the ESC and am setting them up again. I hope this was my problem.
Well I thought I would try you before making a new post. My pixhawk just died. I do not know why. Possibly a shorted safety switch. I have tried reflashing firmware. Holding a new switch while booting. No luck. It can not write to the FC. Any ideas?
This actually got me somewhere. So now my board beeps and the RGB LED lights but when I try to calibrate the radio it will not let me. From reading it seems like the I/O controls the radio outputs? Which is on a different FMU? When I go back to mission planner and flash the firmware the board goes back to being dead. Thoughts? Thanks again for your help
Possibly a GPS issue lurking as well…your original log shows numerous variations in the number of sats locked, along with big hdop swings…I mention this as I have a poor GNSS sky, and ‘GPS glitches’ have masked other issues. I had a partial flyaway when switching modes to Loiter from Althold. Quad shot off at 90 degrees from the course
and shot up, saved it with Stability mode & landed…just a FYI… GL!!
Looks like I am getting a new FC. The board you recommended, will that be good for a 500 class camera drone? It looks nice. So it is a good replacement for a PX4? I am not going to waste anymore time on this pixhawk. Thanks again!
