[@Klien_Morningstar]

You can calibrate them all together fr9m the power distribution board, not necessary to do it separately.

[@techathome]

No problem even if you have soldered, Just use one ESC signal wires to Transmitter 3rd channel and calibrate one by one Let 12v supply be there to all kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5Kkl2ebpMujpsU

Hello, I am Abdulkadir Badur. I am a graduate of mechatronics engineering. I build a drone for myself, but no matter how much I calibrate the arducopter board, when I start flying and give the gas, the rear engines of the drone take off and start somersaults. When I close the flight and connect it to the computer again, the calibration changes. How can I find a solution? I would be glad if you help.

What is power module?😢😢 i need help i just buyed a apm2.8 and having problmes in connection

Power module is used as regulated power supply To convert 12v from lipo battery to 5v needed for APM You can also power ur APM using ESC without even using power module. This way I have shown in my video.

Windows 10, but is should not matter on COM ports. Install this Arduino software and allow permission for drivers at the end: downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.12-windows.exe

[@BrjanBuckmaster]

@@techathome I have given up trying to use Windows 10. I even installed a virtual XP windows but that failed too as I cannot access the USB port. Turns out that I cannot configure my Tarot gimbal either because their configuration app on the supplied dongle hasn’t been updated since 2012. So I need an XP machine for both. I am hoping that as soon as I get the firmware installed on my APM and configure the IMU I can do the rest using a later version of M.P. On my windows 11 laptop wirelessly via telemetry communications.
