Sorry I misread your question and mixed it up with the sim3 phase. This is an extract from my "cal --mag" output.
The #define's appear right after the "lowMAE=...." line.

Are you using the latest (Windows) QGC?

I'm running v1.0.1 alpha vrc18 So that is the latest I can get from the downloads section.

I'm out of ideas. Hopefully your thread on the AQ forum will provide some answers...

I'm now on 1.0.2 software and it showed a lot of checksum errors on the static calibration with the tip pointing towards earth. Removed that file so now running with level and pointing up static calibrations. It is now running step 3 and it is running much faster. Will post back with results.

Here are some pictures from my files.

the step 3 mag cal just runs for hours. without giving any output.

temp range only one the other static calibrations temp ranges look the same.

I know there is some noise on the acc in the static calibrations but there is a train going by near my house :|

Well, for those not on the AQ forums, I'd like to report that my AQ is up and flying very well. After all the crazy calibrations and other required steps were done (not trivial, but I muddled through), it was super stable without any further tuning required, with perfect control response. I almost couldn't believe it. Very pleasing!

You can read more of my first flight report here if you want: http://forum.autoquad.org/viewtopic....7&t=887&p=4170

Video is of my 4th flight with this controller (the rest of the home-made Y6 setup has already proven to be a great flyer with a different controller) -- some short-range RTH tests, position/altitude hold, a bit of manual flying, and an "auto-landing." The camera work is a bit shaky -- sorry, my daughter is 12 and this was her first assignment as my camera operator!

Your camera girl did a good job keeping your Y6 in the focus - which is the hardest part estimating its movements.
Amazing you got these results without any tuning. She really flies like on rails with a precise PH.

Well done, Max!

Wow, Maximal.
That was Really amazing of your AQ board. Did youfollow only the wiki? Also which is that trasnmitter you are using?

Thanks guys! It is a real pleasure to fly. Or should I say to guide? It really can fly itself!

I just followed the wiki docs and got some help in the AQ forums. Having a working/good chassis to plop the AQ brain into helped. I had some issues with calibration logs/analysis, which are being examined/worked on by the team, but got through that. Definitely a learning process! For me, it was fun. But I'm not easily frustrated by technology (computers and programming are my "thing").

The Frankenradio is an older Multiplex Evo 9 modified with an FrSky Tx module (the JR version) and their telemetry display. Rx is an FrSky D8R-XP with a Futaba S.Bus adapter (SBE-1) and home-made signal inverter. I'm not using PPM output for a couple of reasons related to camera control, but that would also be an option instead of the (relatively expensive) SBE-1.

Nope, apart from a few manufactorer QC issues (already sorted for all affected) on the first batch, no HW problems have been found.

A new batch is in progress and I hope we can have them available before the end of this month and a more steady supply from there on.

I like it but not going to pay 500 for this when i can get an APM 2.5 for 169.99 Not trying to be harsh but that's to costly sorry guys

It's nice to have choices. Good luck with yours.

But can an APM 2.5 achieve at least half the functionality the the AQ can?
