Selecting the Profile with Sticks gives you the possibility to (partly) copy onr Profile to another: 1. select the source-Profile and hit "read" 2. select destination-Profile with Sticks and hit "write" Values are copied. But: BE CAREFULL: at least the servo-settings are NOT copi...

Goetz

For me the Profileselection in the gui works. First you have to slide Profile to the numer you want (0, 1, 2), after that you have to klick on "select setting" and profile is active, actual values of the profile are already shown (which is NOT the case selecting the setting with Sticks, wi...

today test in the field showed: It works as expected. One should keep in mind, that values for the servos also depend on the profile.. I didn't manage in the field to edit them as needed but I remember that saving them was not as easy as expected with only one Profile too... ...there was something l...

I'm wodering why this great feature isnt discussed more often. Many users should use it because there are often done changes to the copter which require different settings, e.g.: - flying with or without Actioncam - flying with different Lipos (different mAh as well as different No. of Cells) - flyi...

I did an flying Test an found (as expected) everything fine or even better using mixed Props on the Tri (of course according to the motordirection). Angle during hoover was much closer to horizon and yaw-irritation at sudden fullthrottle was less than with 3xCCW. So Tri is perfect "Spare-Props-...

Goetz

I know that normal Setup on Tri is all Motors CCW (so it is possible to use normal Props, from the Handbook from my Crius Se) Because i have serveral Multis and no Planes i have cw and ccw Props, also on my Tri the servo-driven-angle of backmotor is rather big (ca. 25-30 by eyemeasurement) hoovering...

load the sketch and look in "config.h" for " #define THROTTLE_ANGLE_CORRECTION 40" deactivete this line or try other values. Dectivating ("// #define THROTTLE_ANGLE_CORRECTION 40") gives you the full Control - that means: When the Copter tilts you have to increase throt...

Goetz

you've hat a lot trouble and tried many things wich are more or less important but the main thing is: you have to know what you are doing. 1rst I think you are using MW 2.3 - at least you are using GUI for that version. What did you activate in the Sketch before uploading? Did you select your Board?...

Goetz

YAW-Direction is not longer handled in Config.h, you have to switch it in the gui.

Goetz

I already found an solution in an german forum:
http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php? ... orport-(D5)-tot-NanoWii2-Kupfer-Leiterbahnen-zweier-Motorports-hin&p=514286&viewfull=1#post514286

The idea is: call it an hexa in the sketch and change the motormix in hex so it behaves like quad on the new pin

Thanks to Felix for this genius idea.

I have an NanoWII whitch worked well until an Crash. The Connection of D6 where I used to plug the Servowire is broken on the Nano, there is no Signal coming out any more. I need only 4 Motorpins, so my hope is that I can use another Pin (e.g. D11) Where can I change the Pinaasignment in the Code to...

Goetz

yesyesyes... ....you're bringing me back to MW for my FPV-Copter, I bought an NAZA after NHadrian left MW and I saw no development on RTH Failsafe here, I was sad about this.

Thank you

Goetz

In my opinion have fixed throtle as a failsafe is a bit pathetic - when wrongly set (weight change - different batery, without camera), the copter will either fall as a brick or fly away - depend just on weight to thrust ratio - think the NH vario descent is an absolute minimum for failsafe. That's...

Goetz

I would like to see it! I Think it is existentially, not only an option when you have an copter with fpv, cam and other expencive equipment. I definitely would immediately switch back to MW with an stable RTH on failsafe from Naza

Goetz

where do you get "set maxthrottle to 1864" from? I never read this and I thought SimonK's go the complete way from 1000 to 2000? Why Maxthrottle 1864? Is there any Reason for this?

Goetz

change Minthrottle (1111 worked for my RCT 20A Simonk), AFTERWARDS you have to calibrate ESC's again.... (Props off!)

Goetz

Hi, Some good questions. Here is my own version , it's got the alex khoroshko PID loop by default (old loop is removed) and I've tweaked the vbat routine for a rctimer 50v/90i battery monitor. I've got it setup to run how I like it, so it does a failsafe RTH, and then Autoland at the altitudes and ...

My 1%: the suggested 1064 for Minthrottle dont't work on my 20A RCT Simonk, I had to up it. I didn't test it with something in between, but 1111 instead of 1064 works for me.

I want to say thank you once more. In my opinion you did an great thing for MW (at least for me). There are tree questions open for me: 1) R23 ist the last Version, three Patches are supposed to be done (described some Posts before), the right MWConf has to be used. It would be very nice somebody pu...

And what about those with 4ch-TX, just want to use nice variomode? No Chance because Baro must be set during flight...?

Goetz

Yes, I know, but I'm far from perfect and sometimes I forgot to check all switches on TX before arming... I tought it would be an matter of safety (like many other Improvements of this Mod) and (in my easy Unerstanding of non-Coder-Head) I thought it would be easy to add an check of desired Baro-sta...

I know, it's basically a Problem of MW r1379, not of the very good mod from Adrian here, but here seem to be the people taking risk serious, so i post it here: I was using R22(1379) and experienced serveral times, that Motors spin up dramatically when arming with baro activated. Is this a known Prob...

Signal was <985, unfortunately not shown in gui, but recognised by mw.

Thank you for Help

Goetz

When configuring your rx failsafe you must make it send invalid signal like below 985. I did same thing with spektrum rx which remembers which values it should emit under signal lost. this seems to be the way... in WM-GUI and Wingui I can see signal only down to something like 990, then diplay stop...

MW has an failsave-routine, there are activities for a mutch better failsafe here: http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2965 My problem is: I don't get the FrSky-Receivers to stop sending signals - or even I don't know how to see wether the Rx is sending signals or not.... one by on...

good idea to have an link to latest code in first post. would be nice to link to latest Gui (WIN/Linux) too.

Thank you very mutch

Goetz

I had it on serveral MW-Versions with differnt Boards, that the the calibration (NOT Trimming) at least once had to me made by Sticks, otherwise the trimming by sticks wasn't stored. ACC-Calibration by sticks is (when not armed) full roll, full throttle and full yaw left.

I think Peter is right.

Goetz

MY FrSky-RX always have an output. without failsave set they repeat the last known command, with fs set the fs-values. (I would like to know a possibility to let them output "nothing" in case of signalloss). Powering Motors at full Throttle is serious. Do I understand it right: It happans ...

Goetz

I have FrSky Rx on Crius SE and on Crius AIO V1, both with PPM-SUM - no Probs

Goetz

The only thing I see is: put back MW2.1, experiece the P(ID)'s, calc it with 33/40, go back to MW2.2 (with erase of Eeprom) and put them in by Hand in Gui.... ....I cannot believe this is the only solution?

Goetz

found something:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2918&start=310

Goetz

this sounds interesting for me, since I dont manage to tell my FrSky to send nothing in case of signalloss, but there is an RSSI-Pin. Can it direktly soldert to the defined Arduino-Pin or should there be an resistor in series?
