There was first week of this year with nice weather and I decided to check how I can fly using px4 Firmware.
I went outside and did test with a new, updated firmware. Frankly speaking test was unsuccessful.
Drone did not took-off correctly and it damaged. I lost 2 propellers and my receiver is little scratched (it lost protections on antennas). As you remember I have had some problems some time ago with my Pixhawk related broken USB port. Drone was decomposed into parts and next build again.
Unfortunately, in meantime I made one mistake.
Two years ago with my first Naza controller I did write digits on esc/motor wires to remember motors order and I did use this motors order to Pixhawk last time. That was mistake I forgot that engine order are different for DJI and Pixhawk !
DJI NAZA motors setup:
tests and first take-off after migration to px4 firmware.
APM/ PIXHAWK motors setup:
As you can see on those schemas motor 2 and 3 are differently marked in both solutions. DJI naming motors M1, M2, M3, M4 when PIXHAWK name it and connect to controller with following order 1,3,2,4.
After changing motors order everything works fine but I lost one day to find a issue and of course I lost propellers also. I need to check also receiver and confirm it works well.
Below short movie that shows drone behaviour before and after changes to motors order.
