My first Aeroquad project

Gentlemen,

I'm working on my first quad.

My project is based on Aeroquad software with some changes :

- Arduino Mega board
- Sensor board is a Sparkfun 9DOF
- Integrated SD logger (blackbox)
- Venus GPS
- Lipo cell monitor
- GPRS telemetry

Frame is :
- 50 cm motor to motor (diagonal)
- brushless motor KD 2213-22T 17A 924Kv
- APC 10x4.7 propellers
- Spektrum 6 channels RC
- Weigth is 1.4Kg

Main idea is to move all sensors calculation to 9DOF board and use main Arduino cpu to perform other tasks.



Yesterday i did my first flight. I've changed Aeroquad source code to read raw sensor data from 9DOF on serial connection. It seems ok, i made many tests with Aeroquad configurator and it works.

Problem is : i'm not able to leave ground because quad flip over at 10cm from ground :(
Ok, i'm a RC newbie but i suspect something in wrong in configuration or software.

I'm just looking for help to make my first, quite stable, fligth and if possible, to compare my Aeroquad configurator data with a working (your) one.

I noticed a problem : in stable mode, with quad on my desk and throttle command only (50%) motors command in not equal on 4 motors but it's different. Is it strange, no ?

Please see attached screenshot of Aeroquad.

Many thanks to anyone who help me :)
