Hello, my CF 10DOF (2nd batch) returned today from its journey for repair by the Seeedstudio CS/QC folks, and is now flying again!

:D

Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?

Hello, interesting update/idea. Before packing up the CF for its return to China for repair, I did in fact tap (rather than bang) the assembled CF on all 4 arms out of curiosity, but it did not help. Too late now for me to try to 'bang' instead, will be curious to hear if this works for others. The ...

Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?

Hello, this just in from the Seeedstudio Customer Support folks:

'Is that ok for you to send it back to us? We offer you free repair and will send it back to you after we fix it.'

Will certainly do so and hope for the best (and will follow the Forum with interest in the interim).

Cheers, Leland

Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?

Hello, yes, a bit of a let down, esp. after the wonderful experience of actually flying the CF!

Just opened a 'Quality Issue' with Seeedstudio Customer Service.

Re: MPU6050: Self test acc Y [FAIL] - motor problem?

Hello, after a day of really nice flying (and finally seeming to get the hang of controlling the CF 10DOF using the thrust/pitch/roll controls of the PS3), I now have a problem per this thread, with the red LED rapid flashing and this console message: ng! SYS: Build 31:ba1d111112ad (2013.4) CLEAN SY...

Propellers marked 'A': anti-clockwise or clockwise?

Hello, prior to beginning assembly of the CF 10DOF, I had seen on the Assembly Wiki page that 'Your propellers may be labeled with an “A” for anti-clockwise'. In fact, the propellers marked 'A' in my shipment have the rounded edges for clockwise (and thus for M2 and M4, not M1 and M3). Out of curios...

Re: Controller modding

Hello, have very much enjoying the first week with the CF 10DOF (Macbook Air 10.8.3, Sony PS3 bluetooth controller, PS3_Mode_1) --> :-D Rich's suggestion to add a 'deadzone' in pygamereader.py was very helpful, esp. for a novice with the PS3 controller in reducing the noise in throttle motion. Befor...
