I'm also having trouble getting started here. I have the latest pull from of the hover branch. No motor activity when I enable hover mode. Also when I try to follow the tip above, I can't find any debug field in the parameters tab. Where should I be seeing it?
Furthermore, PS3 mode 2 indicates that thrust needs to be configured. The only axis available is the same as the hover axis. But if I try to set it to the same axis, enabling hover mode just locks the cf at it's last value.
Confused, and would appreciate any tips.

Re: Self stabilizing using the 3-axis accelerometer?
Thanks, seems that I indeed was getting the default firmware branch instead of the hover branch.
Now I can enable debug, but I'm still having the "hover into the ceiling" issue. The hover value in the GUI does respond to the left stick, but this has no effect on the motor thrust.
Ideas?

It's defaulted to 1 in Philip's newer versions for safety reasons!

All your suggestions are appreciated.
I've tried setting debug=0 in the parameters tab, the motors still fail to spin. Any thoughts?
If I recompile with debugMode=normalThrust in stabilizer.c, it sorta works. That is, the motors spin, but the control is completely out of whack.
I plan on digging further into the firmware and client. It's behaving as if the firmware is not receiving the debug=0. Perhaps a widget on the flight control panel will make more sense.
