Re: Airplane mode

Thanks msev. I have that crius AIO board but did not have the link to this version of ardupilot.

About mulitiwii i have the impression the code has become very big with tons of defines. For someone new it is quite difficult to work trough all the options and not loose it (concentration).

Re: Airplane mode

In my attempt to make the airplane code work with the mega1280 i have run into troubles, mainly i dont understand the servo out code at all, while the motor out code is straight and easy. So i did define airplane to have 4 motors. The advantage of having 4 motors on a mega1280 is i can use hardware ...

Re: Airplane mode

After another flight in windy conditios today i did find: - mag does not work at all - alt hold does not work at all. I went deeper inside the code, using the debug[0] output to check BaroPID value and "EstAlt += 10 * (rcData[YAW] - 1500);" to have a controllable altitude. Now i dont under...

Re: Airplane mode

I have changed the code. But my plane is still in need of repairs. Too slow during landing -> stall -> crash. Do you guys know a simple airspeed measuring device ? Differential pressure sensors seem hard to find, expensive, and mechanically challenging. There was a way to measure approx airspeed wit...

Re: Airplane mode

Thanks patrick. I will try the mag tomorrow. I would like to test rcCommand[THROTTLE] -= BaroPID - initialBaro; rcCommand[PITCH] += BaroPID - initialBaro ; The simultaneous increase in throttle and elev should make the plane climb while keeping the speed. I have no idea what range the BaroPID data i...

Re: Airplane mode

I did my first today, a crius SE board and multiwii 2.1, frsky ppm-sum receiver, fpv-raptor pusher plane 1600mm, and i have some questions. The stabilisation with gyro does work, the gyros + accelerometer leveling does work too. The "keep altitude" with baro doesent work. Normal? The mag d...
