Re: Does ACC get disabled under high stick movements?

Sorry Patrik, But I ask you to unmerge it. We can't add new things during the consolidation step to 2.1 The good news is.... I got it working from the transmitter (ER9X), so no need to change any multiwii code if you're the lucky owner of a reflashed 9X.... To just fly around it's a bitch, but for ...

Re: gimbal wiring & settings

Cant believe I missed that, thanks PatrikE. In config.h, both range and reversal are adaptable using: #define TILT_ROLL_PROP -30 so that's fixed, thanks again David I also found that to control the servo's using the Rx the following should connect pin 44 & 45: #define MEGA_HW_GIMBAL Doesn't work...

Re: gimbal wiring & settings

I got a reply on another forum to assign CAMSTAB to an AUX channel so went ahead and linked it to my AUX1 (which I also use for LEVEL mode). The gimbal now indeed reacts to tilting the quad but not much and the roll is reversed . I then changed the Roll direction under FlyingWing as it seemed the on...

gimbal wiring & settings

Hi there, I've built a quad using a Crius All in one Pro on an x650 but am having trouble getting the gimbal to work and hope maybe someone can help. How should it be wired and what settings need to be changed in the sketch? I connected the two servo's to pin 44&45 on the AIOP and my Rx ch7 &...

Re: [Problem] Not taking off, just hops - SOLVED

That's a great tip on the Expo rate, thanks. New batteries havent arrived yet and the weather looks to be turning so it might be a while before I can try it out but I'll definitely post back on progress.

Re: [Problem] Not taking off, just hops - SOLVED

glad to hear your on the right track, it wasnt that long ago i was in a similar boat about to quit this project because i couldnt get a good flight in. i dont have GPS yet, so i cant comment on that, but use blue loctite and keep everything tight to reduce vibration. use a suitable LPF if you cant ...

Re: [Problem] Not taking off, just hops

Went out for the first actual flight this morning since the very short test day before yesterday and actually I'm a happy chappy even though bost first and second flight ended in disaster. I take off to close to the edge of the clearing and 30sec into the first flight it gets into some trees, crashe...

Re: [Question] Limp batteries?

Ah right, thanks for clearing that up.

[Question] Limp batteries?

No flying in the rain so I've been reading up on lipo's and motor requirements and according to specs, the motors I'm currently using have a loadcurrent of about 9.5A (disregarding props etc). Now does that mean that 4 motors combined could pull 39A? And if so, flying on a single 2200mAh 15C battery...

Re: [Problem] Not taking off, just hops

Thanks people for quite a few interesting options to try out. One thing I'm not sure how to do though is balance a motor, how does that work? Edit - Hopter currently weighs less than 1 kilo - I calibrated the ESC's using a combi cable connected directly to the receiver whereby all the ESC's are conn...

[Problem] Not taking off, just hops - SOLVED

Hi y'all, Just finished building my first multicopter and got the first opportunity today to try and get it in the air. But no such luck, it appears as if there's not enough power to get the quad airborne. Increasing throttle to max just gives enough power to hop a a few centimeters off the ground. ...

Re: GPS integration

Somehow I managed to miss out a 3 in the 3339, it works as is (and checks 38440 and 57600 as mine has defaulted to both of those in the past). Aren't typos a blessing Thanks for that. It looked like it was a step in the right direction so I added the code below (by grace of eosbandi and kristaps_r) ...

AH, that looks pretty similar to what I was doing. I'll check and see if it works for the MT3339 as well. Thanks!

Re: Can't get sensors to show activity in GUI

Thanks for the confirmation. Turns out the latest software I downloaded only works with the latest firmware so I needed the multiwii2.0 software and all's cool. I even hooked up my T9x\DJT FrSky and everything's working as it should. Sweet stuff! Would you happen have a tip for getting the 64bit ver...

Re: Can't get sensors to show activity in GUI

Hi y'all, Noob here. After flyin an ARdrone with the RC MiruMod for a while it was only logical to try buildin a drone myself. So ordered a quad kit and an FC online and thought I'd just check stuff was working before hooking everything up. But perhaps it's not supposed to work like that cause my bo...
