6 V afros will fry the Naze32 pretty quick. I have also had problems connecting USB to the Naze and then connecting and disconnecting power whilst the TeamKVOSD is connected up. I disconnect power from the minimOSD now before i mess around with USB and stuff.

teslahed

I would like to know if the new update and the SBUS option is worth investigating or not.

This little Frsky receiver might be a good match;

Are there any performance benefits in terms of acrobatic flight when using the MPU6000 (SPI vs I2C) ?

teslahed

Will this board allow for more serial ports to be used with baseflight? If i'm honest the only limitation that i notice with the Naze32 hardware at the moment is the lack of serial ports. It would be nice not to have to choose between an OSD and bluetooth. Even though there are workarounds for that ...

teslahed

Only request is have a mAH alarm like voltage alarm..

That would be a nice feature.

Otherwise - good job. I'm using this OSD firmware and it seems to be working great

teslahed

I've just tried version 2.3. I can't get any of the changes i make using the GUI to save which is stopping me from using the OSD as I can't configure it.

Previous versions worked fine.

teslahed

I suppose without an onboard magnetometer there is no risk involved with putting the buzzer right on the board like that?

I like the minimal setup you've gone with. I wonder how many grams of weight you've saved doing it like that?

teslahed

I saw a mini quad with the latest baseflight available fly away on Sunday. The pilot armed the quad and gave it throttle... it took off and banked to the left and kept flying perfectly level, left, until it struck a rock. The entire time, the pilot had his throttle stick in the DISARM position. Sou...

If you are so unhappy... quit Timecop. Nobody here is twisting your arm or forcing you to do what you do. Just stop. Stop today, go on vacation. dont come back. I disagree.

Ok, narrowed down the problem to the physical conflict of the gps and ppm inputs. When either of them is unplugged everything gets normal. Here's a vide of how the channels are jumping.

The genuine Naze32 boards are so cheap that I'd still buy them even if there were cheaper Chinese copies around. Whenever I've ordered to the UK I get the boards within about 3 to 4 working days. That seems really good considering they come all the way from Japan. The only broken Naze32 board I have...

teslahed

Yep, it's gone. I wish people would just stop wasting time with bluetooth... Or at least use proper modules. Do you have any more information about this? This is the first i've heard of people frying their hardware with bluetooth modules and i would quite like to avoid making that mistake myself if...

Use the baseflight configurator to setup your naze32 instead of the default java based multiiconf program; m It works much better and gives you access to the serial terminal interface.

teslahed

Why would you delete the question after it had been solved? Surely it would be better for everone else to leave the details up so that if anyone else has the same issue they can learn from what you did?

It seems that using multiwiiconf 2.2 with multiwii 2.3 code causes this bug. The solution is to reinstall the firmware and make sure you only use the latest multiwiiconf supplied with the code you downloaded (or else one of the other GUIs).

Some people prefer motors to always spin on arm and some people prefer them to be stopped when armed but fully throttled down. I prefer mine to always spin when armed.

elmtree I had the same problem with the twitching outputs, checked the naze32 with a scope and found out that there's no jitter on the ppm input, but the motor outputs are jerking when the rx (hawkeye in my case) is close to the naze32. It seems the naze is getting swamped by RF interference from t...

teslahed

felix - If you've tuned using the old PID system, with the new one you may need to reduce P on pitch, roll and yaw a little, and you WILL need to reduce your rates a lot or the multirotor will be totally uncontrollable.

If you have an old 8 bit multiwii board you can use that to do the auto-calibration via the multiwii code - works very well if you use the right settings.

Now with this I already have indicators of parts and weight, then I think about the batteries and prop size according my ESC´s and motors, which make jump for the frame size part.

Read the naze32 manual; m Look at the section on flashing the firmware. If it doesn't seem too tricky to follow then give it a go. You shouldn't 'brick' the board unless you do something seriously wrong. The end result should be that you have the standard Naze32 firmware on your flight controller. T...

teslahed

Cheaper more flexible props will produce more vibrations that will negatively effect sensors on your flight controller. Dialing back the P value on pitch and roll will help compensate but the multirotor wont fly as well.

The HQ props are much better than the gemfans in my experience.

teslahed

It would take all of 5 seconds to find out that max PWM freq is 498Hz, in steps of 1Hz. So you can set it to any number between 50 and 498. If i am using the new AfroESCs (12 amp version) that have an input frequency of up to 1khz, will i see any improvement if i set my motor_pwm_rate = 498 from 40...

It would be great to have a potentiometer you could use to alter one or more PID values on the fly. I would start my PID tuning by linking it to P on pitch and roll and go from there.

This topic interests me as well because there are so many different options for flashing ESCs and it's not obvious which is best or why.

You can use the TeamKVOSD firmware on the MinimOSD to alter PID settings via the OSD display so you might be able to live without bluetooth if you get the OSD working fully.
