[QUOTE="Barbara, post: 104891, member: 14873"] Spectre, I agree, the compass errors I believe to have been caused by the metal in the structure of the building. As for the log files, all I got was the "Notifications" info, the Flight Player in the Airdata UAV web site said there was no actual flight data. Again, possibly because I was indoors and had no GPS? The ESC error might have been when I bumped the wall. The aircraft trying to right itself? One thing I do find curious is the altitude data. I was flying at a constant altitude and it suddenly shows 0.1 meters, even a minus 0.1 meter altitude. Didn't happen, so what gives. Oh, took Sparkie outside for a quick flight in the backyard this morning. All normal. Proper forward obstacle avoidance behavior, flight data recorded. Did not try a low altitude run at anything. A theory - the spark uses IR sensors for distance measurement I believe. the gymnasium walls are flat and possibly reflective to IR. As the drone approaches the wall at speed, it is tilted forward. Could the forward IR beam be reflecting off the wall, then the floor and then get picked up by the bottom sensors thus confusing the altitude reading? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
