accX/Y/Z Values and 6 Mode Switch on 9X

Post date: 29-Jul-2013 09:45:43

So , I crashed HighUP :-( .... All because of the Rotary knob (grrr) , Me not knowing where it was , thinking it was in Loiter , it was actually in Auto !!! thus it wanted to do way-point flying , which was 30 Km Away .... fortunately (sadly) it flew into my buildings wall , just . It nearly went over it , and that would have been bad ! Took a 6 meter drop onto cement ..TERRIBLE sound ! This is my first crash since I started with ArduCopter ... So 9 months + . Damage , The Alware landing gear (sad they where awesome) , 4 props and FPV camera servo broken ...not bad, going on how it sounded .

Lesson learned , I now use Switches .... I tried this page but this did not work for me but this image by Chris Huitema did work for me ...

Replace the broken landing gear with original and original props and was flying same afternoon ....

Here's my IMU (Raw) readings ... ( In terminal , logs > enable imu )

Above / below is the IMU reading AccX/Y - The AccX and AccY values (primarily used for horizontal position control) should be between -3 and +3 m/s/s , The accelerometer values will change momentarily as the copter moves up and down .

Now if I'm not mistaken or reading this wrong ...this is good ? !! To read more on what this should be go READ HERE

And AccZ - AccZ should be between -15 and -5 m/s/s.
