Re: Naze32 hardware discussion thread

oh yeah, mincommand right. pretty much any BT adapter should work. Speaking of BT adapters, I went to solder a set of pins to the RX/TX points on mine and found the holes far too small to insert a set of standard header pins. Is there a smaller set of pins the holes are intended for? I'd rather not...

Re: Naze32 hardware discussion thread

capacitor. If you put 12V into it, you probably smoked 3.3V line, which means everything is dead. If you just knocked it out, it's the bypass cap for baro, so probably no difference in performance. Thanks TC! Not real good at identifying SMT components. It was 5v and the board seems to still functi...

Damaged capacitor?

What would the effect of damage to the capacitor circled in the image below be? I think I may have accidentally let some of the magic smoke out today while testing a new wiring harness...

Crius Bluetooth with a Naze32

Has anyone used on of these Bluetooth modules with a Naze32? And if so, any advice for getting one hooked up and working?

MAG_DECLINIATION

Does the #define MAG_DECLINIATION conditional in the GPS section of config.h have any effect if you're not using a GPS? i.e. Does it affect the regular magnetometer readings? I've noticed that my compass readings on the board seems to be about 10-15 degrees off and the magnetic declination for my lo...

Re: Let's try to release 2.1: first try based on r949

Hi Alex, unfortunatly, the gui is not working well for me. The AUX checkboxes and RC data bargraphes doesn't display on the screen on my PCs under XP 32 bits ( the same with Ubuntu), always black boxes. Is there a solution ? All MWConfs till dev20120605 worked well. What is the matter ? I am having...

Those are a new version of the KK board, jointly developed by HK and the original KK inventor.

Re: Dev Conf Program not working under XP?

Dropping the Hardware Acceleration to one notch up from off (to Basic only) gets the conf program working, but I don't consider this an acceptable solution. It works with full acceleration in the 2.0 code. That tells me somebody changed something they shouldn't have in the Dev releases. Anyone know ...

Dev Conf Program not working under XP?

I have two machines I'm currently using, one a Windows 7 Pro (64bit), the other Windows XP Pro (32bit). The exact same copy of the MultiWiiConf Dev 32 bit version (as in, same removable drive) runs perfectly on the W7 machine, but on the XP machine the upper right box with the channels does not show...

Re: Need to run MultiWii board 45 degrees clockwise

You can find the refereces in the Faq. http://www.multiwii.com/faq#How_should_be_the_sensor_axis_directions I had already looked at that, but that just tells me how the sensors should behave, it doesn't tell me how to modify the defines to account for a change in board orientation. I know I need to...

Re: Need to run MultiWii board 45 degrees clockwise

Won't that cause problems with motor control? The quad itself is an X quad, I just need to be able to mount the board 45 degrees clockwise from "normal". KK boards are mounted "point forward" and I need to be able to mount the MW where a KK was.

Need to run MultiWii board 45 degrees clockwise

Hello all, I just received a MultiWii 2012 board (The one Terri Wang sells on eBay). I'm switching from a KK board and, rather than completely rebuild my quad (ESC wiring to the power board is just long enough for the current "diamond" orientation of the KK setup), I want to run the board ...

Cirus vs ZMR Multiwii boards

I'm looking to pick up a Multiwii SE off of eBay and the two I see (mostly) being sold are the Cirus labeled and the ZMR labeled. I've seen a couple of threads on the Cirus, but nothing on the ZMR. Both are running about the same price, but most of the ZMR brand sellers seem to be including a FTDI p...
