Pitch and roll wrong, flight controller orientation

Dear All,

It seems that my flight controller accelerometer is somehow rotated while I do have the arrow pointed forward on my BLITZ F745 AIO.

My mission planner HUD looks like this when the quad is level:

When I roll left, i.e.: right motors are higher then left I see this:

When I pitch forward (DIVE) I see this:

Anybody have a suggestion on what I can try to correct this? Orcourse when I arm with props the quad flips out.

Kind regards,
CarbonV

It is hard to say as your PARAM file is missing
Maybe the ahrs-orientation-board-orientation
is not set correct.
Did you follow carefully all steps of https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/initial-setup.html
Also this: https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-mounting-the-flight-controller.html
Can you show how you mounted your FC to the drone?

Dear Juergen,

I have uploaded my PARAM file here:
PARAMF745AIO.param (19.0 KB)
All steps were followed, I’ve tried multiple of the AHRS-ORIENTATION settings but none make it so the drone behaves as expected.
I hope this photo clearly shows that the arrow is pointing in the correct direction:

Kind regards,
CarbonV

I am not sure, but I think your FC is upside down. I tried to find the Gyro chip on the layout on IFLIGHT page. On the side facing up on your drone are only the motordriver but not a chip which will be a gyro.
Also I tried on my board to set AHRS-ORIENTATION to 8 (roll 180) and get a picture upside down on HUD

Hi Juergen,

I’ve tried to find the Gyro chip but I just cannot seem to locate it on the board. with roll 180 the picture indeed flips around showing air above ground but then roll becomes pitch and pitch becomes roll. I’ve not found a combination that works and I’m out of ideas.

If I am right that the gyro is placed on the other side as shown on your picture above than also your FC ist turned probably 45° as on the Iflight pictures all chips on that side are aligned with the board edge.
Can you provide a high resolution picture from the FC from the downside?
