sluggish - maybe it depends on power setup.

i've got a 1m m/m hexa alu frame, 2x6s-4900mah, 13x6.5 cf props, gimbals/cam not installed and it feels sensitive.
- will try 2x5s lipo & 13x5 props setup and i suspect it will soften up my sticks, otherwise will try expo.

Nobody had a similar/same issue?
I am still stucked with this problem.
Any idea/solution? Help please!

Hello,

No PPM experience with YS-X6, but I have success with sBus (Futaba R6202SBW).

I have PPM sum receivers (7 channels Futaba R6107SP) on my MultiWii configurations but they do not work with my APM2.

With APM2, I have a FRSKY TFR4 with PPM Sum 8 channels.

I did not try it with my YS-X6... as the option was not valid when I got it.

Feel free to contact me via private msg...

Marc

No, its because I'm using an skyjib hexa with YS-X6 for over 8 months now and had almost 0 issues, but now I built a big octo and want to know other people experiences.

Well, I'm ready for my maiden flight with my octo + ys-x6. But I have a question, I've already calibrated my throttle inside the GCS, no problem here. I'm using SimonK ESCs.

The problem is that my front motor (OCTO +) is starting with a delay, all the other 7 motors starts at the same time, but I have to push the throttle a little more to start the front motor.

Is there a way to correct this? The calibration is ok, but the motor still delayed. I've swapped ports 1 and 2 in YS-X6 to test if the problem was from ESC/MOTOR and found that the motor 1 still has a delay in relation all others so the problem seems to come from either the motor or the ESC...

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks

Im habing the same issue with mine. Your kinda lucky since mine has 3 delayed motors

Great news!!! Peter from zerouav finally responded to my mail (after I called their sales to follow-up on my mail requesting for support for high IMU readings). He said it is normal to have high IMU reading after a crash..He sent me a new firmware, I uploaded it to my ap, performed gyro zeroing... and the result is great, all the IMU readings are now back to zero.. I have to test it yet over the weekend though... I AM HAPPY!!!

Since I am not the not the only one experiencing this issue, I believe this is a bug.. I do hope zerouav stands behind their product as they did to you.. I have already written to zerouav technical and so far no response.. I tried calling them but they are uncontactable maybe due to the coming Chinese New year..

Hi guys. Need some help with my ys-x6. How do I recalibrate the esc? I did once and was successful but one my motor was not calibrated because the positive negative wires soldered to my distribution board did not touch correctly. So I soldered and its working now. However only 5 out of 6 motors are calibrated and running. The other one didnt run. I need to redo the calibration again. Followed the steps by pushing d sticks as v-shape and full throttle my sticks on setting mode. When connecting to my esc, it didnt get into d setting mode. It just initialized the 5 motors n left the 4th motor uncalibrated. Can someone helpe out? Thank you

Did you by any chance reversed you throttle stick? Even though you esc is not properly calibrated it should make the motor rotate as soon as you increase the throttle and not as you describe.... could it be a bad esc? One weakness of ys-x6 is the absence of indicator when it is armed So maybe the v shape you did was not recognized by ap, try using enable ensurance from the gcs.. another option is to calibrate that remaining esc alone.. hope this helps..

Maiden of our new Kratos with the YS-X6, need some tuning but GPS hold is already perfect out of the box

Flexacopter Kratos Maiden Flight (15 min 10 sec)

Hi,

I have a big big problem. I am building a huge octocopter (5kg payload) and I am fighting with huge bugs in YS-X6. First of all PC application doesn't seem to work at all. It displays data but it is unable to read and write settings. Buttons doesn't work. I overcame this problem using my android phone but not for long (still it is only a workaround, I still want to be able to use PC for this). I made a test quadcopter and successfully flew YS-X6 but when it came to Octocopter I'm stuck. During build I didn't pay attention to which motor is number one and it turned out, that I made it the opposite way that YS-X6 wants (motor nr 1 should be CCW, number 2 CW and so on, mine is opposite). Normally (MK, MultiWii, AutoQuad) it is just a matter of changing mixing table. Unfortunately mixing table in my YS-X6 doesn't work at all! Using my phone I can read and write data into it but with no effect at all. Moreover, when I use installation guide and set my craft to for example nr 1 (quad) it seems to operate motors correctly but mixing table shows null values. My airframe makes it unable to change the motor directions at this point (ESC's are hard closed inside arms and I can't rotate frame by 1 motor because it has led's glued in). I tried different firmware versions that I found over the internet (zero-tech website isn't helpful at all). Anyone solved this issue?
