AutoQuad Forum

Hello community,

I am new to the amazing world of quad copters. I have 3 QuadCopters that came from flyduino I am not a hundred percent which model they are but they are all the same. They came loaded with the AQ FW ver 6.8 firmware. I will now explain the situation and hopefully I can get some insights.

Situation:
Someone was using these quadcopters before I got my hands to them. 2 of them work great. 1 of them got flashed and now it will not even arm using the radio controller. I believe the issue is due to the fact that the person who flashed the quadcopter neglected to save the .param file. So now I have a quadcopter that is out of commision. This is what I had in mind and I will appreciate it if someone can give me some insight if this the correct process to possible fix the issue. Each quad came with a controller fyi.

Solution in my mind:
1. Retrieve .param file from a working quadcopter.
2. Flash the quad not working with . This is version 6.7 Stable.
3. Load the .param values retrieved from working quad into the non-working quad.
4. At this point I expect an issue with the radio controller not connecting. I want to get to this step and this step is where I will need to configure the radio controller pertaining to this quad.

Is this a correct solution to fixing the issue?
Or maybe someone can give me a better solution I would appreciate it.

Thank,

Hi,
If you have no file.params loaded you can to test use these of the other quad you have. But may be others controls to do. When just firm flashed , you have to declare in the qgc your quad and your magnetic position.
The default pid can run.
Have fun

What do you mean I have to declare?
I have to set the magnetic position of the quad through the qgc?
Do you have a source that shows this process?

Never mind I think I found a source Alain.

However do I need to re calibrate the quad after setting the Magnetic position.

fixed the problem. By the way the parameters from the other auto quad worked fine.
