Multiwii software, Aeroquad Mega, and camera stabilization
I have the latest Multiwii software installed on my quad which has Aeroquad Mega and shield 2.0.7. It flies beautifully but the camera stabilization does not function correctly. On initial pitch or roll the servo compensates, but then moves back to neutral. Also there is some crossover, that is pitc...

Re: Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Thanks all, Hex is flying great. All in the PID, just too afraid to try things out of my comfort zone. Your suggestions solved my problem. Raised D to 30 and flew OK. A few more flights and final settings: P-5.5, I-0.032; and D-42. Raising the D allowed a higher P. Thanks for all your help and sugge...

Re: Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Originally stepped P up to 6 but hex wobbled horribly. Down to 3.7 was the value where hex had no wobble. Will try the higher D values today. We understand "gain" or P, its the other two values which we need a better handle on. The rates are not the problem as my son likes high rates and q...

Re: Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Thanks all, Am using the latest firmware but your other points are valid. I will make certain that I do not have an ESC crossed up. On calibrating the ESC"s, I did make a 6 way cable but was concerned about 6 BEC"s connected together! Since all but one now has the positive lead pulled from...

Re: Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Spent the remainder of the day tuning PIDs and no joy. Have two quads which fly perfectly with a minimum of tuning. This hex was tuned the same way and hovers fair in dead calm but is completely squirrelly in windy conditions or in ground effect. Will post a link to a video shortly. Aside from PID t...

Re: Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Tried P from 3.4 to 4.6 in increments of 3 and had no effect on this instability. Not a wobble, an uncontrollability, like a fly barred heli without the flybar and no electronic compensation? Requires really good heli pilot to manage till the hex is away from wind or ground effect, then stable? Steve

Hex very unstable in wind and ground effect
Hello, New to forum, first problem with multirotors. Built two quads in past, one with Aeroquad hardware and one with MultiWii Warthox board, both on Multiwii software and they fly great in all conditions. Just finished a hex rotor with Paris Aerial Photo Board 4.0, original MP and NK. Using spectru...
