Re: CG effect and demo of hex flying on 2.0p3

I suppose it's not a problem. That's why we have the stable mode :)

Re: MWC 2.0 with Magnetron's moving averages

MWC 2.0 with Magnetron's moving averages

I just installed 2.0 with Magnetron's moving averages and it was very good on my tri! Very flyable and stable mode really was stable. To be fair I also re-calibrated props, set gyro LPF to 188Hz. Anyways my tri flies fine on stable mode and I'm a happy camper now . Just flew one battery though but I...

Re: CG effect and demo of hex flying on 2.0p3

Couldn't you just shorten the front and back arms of the hex a bit to make it more like shrediquette ? I don't know anything about designing a multicopter but common sense says that CG should be near the center of the platform and place the FC there too. Just drawing lines from your front right moto...

Marcin.

That is pretty impressive!
Can you achieve such accuracy with BMP085-baro too?
