Does the problem occur when you plug either one of the servos on the nick port, or is it specific to the nick servo? Does the same thing happen if you plug the nick servo onto the roll servo port? If it happens with either servo on the nick port then its a problem on the flight controller, if it...

I would do ALL of the calibrations again before even thinking about flying it! Ken

Part of the issue may very simply come down to power especially if you are powering the servos on the mount from the MK board. The standard Recom that drives the servo circuits on the flight controller has a capacity of 1 amp, the servos used on the newer AV 130 and AV 200 mount can draw 5...

I did a clean slate, erased the settings in the board, updated the bootloader, then reloaded the firmware, same problem with GCS. I found a workaround for the update rate settings and now have the quad flying very close to as smooth as the other one with the Hoverfly Sport board on it, only...

If my recent success with the CC board is any indication, I think much of the problems I ran into intially with the Quadrino was the refresh rate for the ESC's. Soon I'll verify that by changing the rate in the code and uploading it to the board, I suspect that once that's done I'll be able to...

I did read something over there about it being a bootloader problem and that it needs to be updated on the CC board. Did all that along with a full erasure of the board and reload of firmware, no difference at all as far as GCS seeing the board and allowing access to either the update rate or...

Anyone ever find a way to fix this? I'm having the same issue with the latest version of GCS (6-8) running on Windoze 7 along with the channel update rate being grayed out, but that I manged to bypass by doing the rate changes manually in the property screen. Can't find a way around the...

I'd bet you a couple pints that was a large part of the problem, I had a problem with my AD-6 doing the toilet bowl dance in position hold prior to the rebuild to heavy lifter spec. As part of the rebuild I did the same, shortened up the wires, got rid of the rats nest under the F/C board, and...

No, I put it aside on the workbench with a note to send it to you and its still sitting there...:o I've been so D**m busy with so many things I haven't gotten that far down the queue of things that need to get done yet though I'm starting to pickup the pace of checking items off on the list...

I've had the exact same problem doing firmware loads on both of the compass boards I have. First, stop trying to do it across a wireless connection before you wipe it to the point the bootloader stops working, I've found it to be problematic even with a hardwired connection so wireless is a...

Here's the approach I take when things get to this point, start from the beginning and one step at a time rebuild the entire configuration from scratch. Now I don't mean tear the entire machine to bits and start over though you may feel like doing just that with a large hammer right about now...

I think it should be this, take off from a table or whatever, circle a tree or pole clockwise, land on table. Take off and then circle the tree or pole counter clockwise, land on table, take off, clockwise, land, take off, counter clockwise, etc... The winner is the one that completes the most...

YIKES! $1832 US dollars for the board and you still need to pay MK the commercial license fee, total amount is probably a lot more than I have in MK hardware to date!!! I find this part interesting... "it is possible to use it even to a max of 1750 meters in radius , however it is strictly...

I don't have one but I have access to one, or more accurately I have access to the owner of one who will make things for me, I wouldn't even know where to begin to use it. I think its going to be a few more years before the price drops and market matures enough for them to be fairly common, not...

I use rosin core solder, no messy flux to apply then clean off after the fact. For the majority of the soldering I do I use 22 gauge (.032 diameter) 60/40 with 2.2% flux core and a larger gauge of the same for big stuff like battery wires. The 60/40 refers to the ratio of tin to lead and may not...

Yes, mine tend to lean the same direction and the same amount every time no matter how carefully I level it on the bench, apparently its a "feature" of the MK software. If that's the case forget about trying to level the camera platform on the ground because obviously the flight controller has a...

On the AV130 I have I had to use a couple drops of CA to secure the gear to the pot shaft, it was loose enough to be able to slide it back and forth toward the body of the pot so I can't imagine that would not slip in direction of rotation, the glue fixed that. I have a similar issue with 2...

Modified from the "as delivered" kit. Nothing radical, just durability and performance enhancements like full bearings on both camera platform axles instead of just on the drive side, swapped the servos for higher torque with tighter geartrain, machined Delrin servo mounting blocks for the roll...

Yes, this was the GoPro with Sunex lens. It was a bad day for exposure, foggy early in the morning with solid cloud layer after the fog burned off then progressing to scattered clouds with bits of blue sky showing through the haze afterward. The hazyness was mostly due to very high humidity on...

No, this video was done with a Droidworx AD-6 H/L using an Avertical View 2 axis mount. The Photohigher mount is on the backup stock MK Hexa, thats what I used in the other video I posted from this past Sunday "A day out flying with the Hexa's". Ken
