    Hello all,

    Im writing because today my CS8 did something completely wrong, I hooked up the battery everything was fine, started my flight and a high speed beeping began, brought the copter down, checked the gpx file and it shows that even at 20+ volts it showed low battery warning. I have no idea why it would do this.

    Can you save the MK Parameters to an .mkp file and post those, please Jean.
    It's impossible to say what the issue is without knowing how you have the parameters for the Flight Controller set.
    It seems that the low voltage threshold has somehow become set inappropriately.

    Andy.

    Are you running 6S batteries or 5S? IF you're running 6S, your batteries are grossly undercharged.
    The GPX file says "min. 16.8, max. 19.7V", which looks more like 5S.
    So maybe, as Andy implies above, your MK is misconfigured.

    Im went through the parameters and they seem fine, the copter is flying just fine. im attaching the parameters and a log from a short test flight I did after going through the parameters.


    yes Im using 5s.

    I changed the under voltage value from 35 to 175 so it calculates for total volts instead of single cell and that seemed to cure the problem.
