help me sir, I'm also a newbie to this flight controller, right now i find out that i can't arm the MultiWii, can you tell me the stick combination to arm this FC? and also which program must i compile? I'm affraid maybe there's something wrong with the program.. i use the program from this website...

Thanks! Do you by any chance have a reference for how to hack the PilotLamp signal? alarms.ino is not super readable for this, and I mostly stumbled across a couple of things through trial and error (setting varying pulse freqs at 50% duty cycle). So far, I've got something like (in microseconds): #...

Thanks for your suggestion, Doughboy! Wrote a quick and dirty sketch to test each pilotlamp option (Red/Green/Blue/Beep), and everything worked fine. Discovered the reason it wasn't working (missing a couple of semicolons in my BUZZERPIN_ON and PL_PIN_ON defines). ...But dang, that PilotLamp buzzer ...

xoxota

Unless you see your pilotlamp smoke or you stepped on it and completely crushed it, I don't see how it can be damaged. Make sure the wires to the servo connector are not disconnected. you can easily test it if you have an extra arduino by simply sending a pulse (digitalWrite(pin,HIGH);delayMicrosec...

There's actually a section in config.h: //#define BUZZERPIN_PINMODE pinMode (A2, OUTPUT); // use A2 instead of d8 //#define BUZZERPIN_ON PORTC |= 1<<2 //PORTB |= 1; //#define BUZZERPIN_OFF PORTC &= ~(1<<2); //PORTB &= ~1; In general, it looks like PL_PIN_ON and PL_PIN_OFF are usually set to ...

The BUZ pin on this board is connected to D9, and not D8 for some reason (design error?). I can't find where D8 comes out. Is there some way to configure which pin to use for BUZ within the multiwii code?

xoxota

Looks like, for starters, the BUZ pin on this board is connected to D9, and not D8 for some reason (design error?). I can't find where D8 comes out. Is there some way to configure which pin to use for BUZ within the multiwii code?

xoxota

Hmm. Well, I enabled PILOTLAMP, plugged my PilotLamp into the buzzer pin (D8), and.... nothing. Am I doing something wrong? How do I diagnose this type of problem? Does the fact that I'm using a PPM receiver have any impact?

What board are you using?

I'm using the HK_MultiWii_328P with a Spektrum Satellite receiver. When I enable the PILOTLAMP option and plug my pilot Lamp into D8 / VCC / GND , it just lays there, no lights, no sound. So my question is: 1) Am I doing it right? 2) Can I specify some other pin (such as any of the regular receiver ...

Hi all, After much frustration with my Crius LCD module. It basically doesn't work. I have no idea what's wrong or how to solve it. On power-up, I get "Serial LCD v1.03" displayed on the screen. Then, when I enter LCD configuration mode, just a bunch of garbage characters that appear to ch...

In case anyone finds this years from now, with the same problem, it turned out to be what it ALWAYS turns out to be: Throttle and Yaw ranges were sufficient to arm motors, but pitch/roll ranges were not sufficient to use stick commands. This was because I had set up dual rates, where the throttle an...

Have you checked this? http://www.multiwii.com/faq#How_should_be_the_sensor_axis_directions Yep, first thing I checked. Everything looked fine, except the Compass heading was off by 45 degrees. Turned out I was the one who was off by 45 degrees (figured this out when I saw that Roll and Pitch were ...

Thanks all for the answers! Looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for

I'm looking at plugging an XAircraft PilotLamp into my board. I noticed some code that seems to indicate this is supported in some way (at least in MultiWii_shared).PilotLamp has three LEDs (Red Green and Blue) and a buzzer, but the code doesn't appear to support the buzzer. What pin(s) should I hoo...

xoxota

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is R1224, and where can I get it? I don't see it anywhere in the GoogleCode repo.

*EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks!

xoxota

I'm no expert, but at a guess, I'd say your Yaw calibration would probably be way off. I think it's best if you place the board as close to the CofG as possible, (whether that's at the center of the airframe or not is not really relevant). For example, if you'r flying a Quad in "plus" mode...

xoxota

Okay, well, I took the leap and flashed it. And of course everything stopped working . The HK docs are completely wrong for this board. I ended up with something like this: #if defined(HK_MultiWii_328P ) #define I2C_SPEED 400000L #define ITG3200 #define HMC5883 #define BMA180 #define BMP085 #define ...

I didn't even know there was a 64-bit conf. I'm just running the version from multiwii google code repo. I gave up trying after an hour or so, and went back to my mac, where everything just magically works

Did you set your magnetic declination in config.h?

Hi all, I just received this new board , and wanted to get a sanity-check on my new defines in config.h and def.h. Basically, I did a best-guess based on other configs. I don't actually have a schematic or anything, just the specs. From the site: ITG3205 Triple Axis Gyro BMA180 Accelerometer BMP085 ...

Running Windows 7 64-bit (with 32-bit Java 7). When I double-click MultiWiiConf 2.1 to run it, nothing happens. Nothing shows up in task manager. Is there some installation step I missed? Why isn't it working? EDIT: Correction. Not "nothing". Checking Task Manager, it looks like javaw.exe ...

I read a lot about so-called "Flight Modes" (example: http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flightmodes ). But nowhere does the wiki (or the forums, from what I can tell) explain how / where to change this "mode"? Is this done via multiwii_conf? in config.h ? Via AUX chann...

our radio must reach this values to trig the stick commands. in MultiWii.ino // rc functions // ****************** #define MINCHECK 1100 #define MAXCHECK 1900 Increase the rates in radio or change the Check values.

I'm trying to be able to calibrate the ACC and Gyro using the stick commands here . So far all I can do is arm/disarm the motors. None of the other stick commands appear to do anything at all. Has anyone else had this problem? The quad flies fine, but I'd rather not have to plug it into the laptop e...

It would be nice if there was some way to dump/save and reload just the ACC and MAG calibration data because it's a PITA for me recalibrate. I have to set up my jig for a level surface to calibrate the ACC and my wired serial/power connections make MAG calibration annoying as I try to rotate the qu...

#define MAG_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {magADC[ROLL] = X; magADC[PITCH] = -Y; magADC[YAW] = -Z;} It looks like the version that's committed to _shared has magADC[PITCH] = Y (positive), and not -Y (negative). Which is the correct setting? I guess that MAG_ORIENTATION is responsible for interpreting the an...

ANGLE mode The position of the stick indicates the angle at which the copter tries to maintain. Sticks off = level. Full sticks in any direction and it will tilt at 50 degrees. It's proportional in-between. It maintains the angle set by the stick. Let go of sticks and it returns to level ACRO mode....

Can someone please explain the difference between ANGLE and ACRO modes? I feel like I'm missing some of the terminology here....

Do you mean all the individual little grey boxes? They don't seem to react to clicking at all, but I'll try in the top-left corner when I get back home, and report back. Thanks!
