So I take it I jut off the shaft completely?

cardboard wrote:I just finished the exact same build, well the frame motors and props. I'm loving the frame, just had it out in some 25 gusting 50kph winds and it was flyable. I wish you luck in your first flight

Awesome thanks!

My first build flying it tomorrow let's hope it will survive

You will be lucky if there are pads left to solder onto, at least 2 of mine lifted completely off so I have nothing to solder onto. I was lucky.. Maybe hot gluing, before it breaks would help!? That's exactly what I did after the repair http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65924/Screenshot/Photo%2029.8.2012%201...

The one next to the "A"?

Would that be one of the white "serial" ports?

So... it broke despite me trying to be careful. should I try to solder it back on? what are my options? I have an usbavr can I use that via the 6 pins under the "AIO PRO" on the board?

And now for the noob question of the day... How would one do that?

Good point

TS00 wrote:No, to get that data back from the multiwii to you, you need telemetry - you need a transmitter on the multicopter transmitting data back to you.

K thanks.

Are you still drunk now?

What do you mean get data from the multiwii to the Tx?

Haha no not still drunk. What I ment was is it possible to get forinstance the heading height battery voltage etc...

So I got home drunk this morning and instead of going to sleep I watched the curiosity landing... and apparently bought a Turnigy9x Tx. I think I don't have the buyers remorse but my question is, what firmware should I use and is there any way to get data from the multiwii to the Tx or can I get the...

Hope this explains your question ! It does thanks BTW, What are you flying ? Good luck ! Nothing atm, I am putting togeather an F450 quad kit from rctimer hope I wil be up and run.. Ehh flying after the weekend I still need a few plugs and this weekend is a holliday weekend here nothing open until ...

Can I use theese chargers with this battery?

Sry I am new and have read a few frightening articles on lipoly fires

BE CAREFULL with that all in one Pro board. More than one have had the USB connector fall off. If that happens you are stuck making up your own cable to connect an FTDI adapter anyway. Not fun. Thanks for the tip! I am picking it up tomorrow, should I put a glob of hotmelt glue on the usb port to s...

hi from europe i think you have all you need an the LED voltage alarm in always in the multiwii code integrated ... a smal transistor (i used a mos-fet smd) is needed to drive the current of the LED´s (LED Strips) Regards Thorsten Thanks I am just about to order the rest, sine I lost my micro heli ...

It will be different for all receiver/transmitter combos as well, best bet is to run a servo test on your radio (assuming you have a computer radio) then walk or drive the receiver in line of sight (with servo and battery attached) out until it starts glitching. Use google maps/earth to figure out ...

I am about to embark on my first quad build, and was wondering about the range of 2.4 Tx. Is there some tool I can use to measure or is it just a general range?
I have the walkera devo7.

not for flashing ! Flashing is installing new firmware in esc !

Ahh IC I am new but I was thinking of getting the F450 frame with motors ans ESCs from rctimer, is it nessesary to flash or just better?

Would this do the trick? Hobbywing Program Card

I noticed that they are selling v1.0 and the ones on ebay are 2.0 is there any big difference I should be aware of?

Also awesome tip thanks

Hi all, Before I start I am new to the whole multicopter concept, I bought a micro 3D heli a few months ago and am completely in love. My brother bought a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 and I must say flying it with a phone (iPhone) tablet (iPad) is in my opinion ridiculous. So I started looking into RC moddin...
