Confirmed with PWM receiver - PWM interrupt reshuffling introduced some race condition in I2C driver. Will debug and see what's up. Should not affect PPM receivers. For now, go back to some older build, something from early April should be OK. Thanks a lot for confirming the likely root cause. Debu...

The problem occurs with the hex file from the commit on 8 april and newer. With the commit of 6 april there is no issue everything works just fine. Did you try this? April 8 version locks up? I have not tested (yet) the version from April 8th, but the differences according to github are small and H...

The good news is that the firmware from April 6th is ok. 2 batteries emptied. No issue.

Being more specific: https://github.com/multiwii/baseflight/tree/f336fc8d20e752d1b7f31b7fa01a66365df0b273/obj
is the version I use. Works on my quad.

Hi, It seems I am not alone... Short background story: I got a small quad (Warthox frame, 2208 motors, 8x4.5 props, 3S 2200mAh LiPo). Naze32 of course. Totally awesome flying. Very predictable behavior. Light, quiet, fast. The firmware was old. So old that I have to use the MultiWiiConf tool to conf...

[...] First problem: When testing the receiver signals in the GUI, the GUI locked down. Nothing but a power down of the Naze worked. But then it worked. Happened twice during congfiguration. After all was configured (and yes, I reset all variables), I was going to fly a bit. Careful at first as the ...

I wish a BTModule would be pre-installed (and working even with USB being connected).
For 1000 Yen extra I'd buy one right now.

Hi Guys! Sorry for noob question. How can i change motor direction in CLI for QuadX mixer??? I have frame, which has opposite rotations, and all wires are soldered, shrinked, shortened, so no joy to rewire. You could mount the motors facing downward. Or as others have said, use different ESC firmwa...

Well, for those who are having the same problem: adjust the Yaw I parameter. In my case moving from 0.070 (default on Baseflight) to 0.090 and the tail no longer drifts.

In hindsight it's relatively obvious.

hkubota

Hi, Maybe a basic question, but I cannot understand why this would be happening what happens: I got a tricopter. Fun to fly in general. Once the servo holder for the tail was slightly off so that the tail motor was tilting way more left than it should be. As a result it was turning clock-wise until ...

hkubota

Tri question: I got a tricopter with Naze32 running. Works well. Not as nice as my little quad, but they are different sizes and props and generally not really comparable. In both cases the behavior is predictable and it's fun to fly. But what bothered me on the tri: when i changed the servo link to...

I have moved the board approx 1.5cm to one side so looking from above the board is not in the center left to right, my question is will this effect flight performance? Theoretically the flight performance will worsen the more you move the FC (actually the sensors) from the CoG. Especially the accel...

So where do I go from here to get my quad to stop drifting in acro? It's quite a lot of drift by the way, about a walking speed. Is it normal to expect to get some drift or should I be aiming for virtually none? There is no drift in acro mode. The only thing you can get wrong is that the quad chang...

Armed => Aux3 to select P, I, D (for roll & pitch) via 3 way switch => Aux4 adjust via proportional pot => a way to confirm and save to eeprom?... I have a hard time to think how this would work in reality. If I want to do more complex things, I'd rather then connect an RF link (433MHz or XBee)...

+1 Unarmed => Aux1 to select Roll,Pich,Yaw axis => Aux2 to select P, I, D param => Throttle stick to set param value (0..100%) => Pitch stick down to save param value to eeprom When throttle stick equal current value, blink led or buzzer. That however means I have to stop, unarm, change parameter, ...

While moving my Naze32 to a new quad frame (frame, motor, props are new), I quickly realized that the old parameters I used are way off. Adjusting most parameters is straightforward thanks to good default values, but it's a bit tedious to do fine-tuning. Using Bluetooth and an Android phone helps, b...

hkubota

Your battery is not strong enough. You have 4 ESC's of 30 Amps each (max) so you need to be able to draw 120A. Your battery can only deliver 66A (2,2Ah x 30 c). That is only half the power your engines would ask at full power. The motors draw max 20A, thus the worst case would be 80A, which is stil...

I recently updated my Naze32 with the current version of baseflight; m Do NOT use such old firmware files.

I feel like I'm missing something simple here.

This time it happen almost immediately after switching in to level mode. Gyro's alone she fl...

That's quite an unusual frame. How did you fix the motors to the CF rods? And the CF rods to the middle part?

A small update here for those who'll read this in the future: I changed in the meantime from GF 7x3.5x3 props to APC Thing Electric 7x5 and with P=5.1, I=0.030, D=23 it flies rock solid and keeps whatever orienation. Very nice flying now.

Get a diode which will drop (depending on the type) 0.7V.
However I think you are following a red herring here. I guess the voltage from the BEC has noise, while the USB is clean.

hkubota

We can't to use it without GPS, because we need some data to correct integration errors... My thinking too. so about solution for PH... i see the following: 1) get global x, y axis... actually we need to get global x, y vectors... I think it's possible to get by rotation of global Z vector (EstG.V ...

hkubota

So we must obtain a vector that indicate direction and intensity of movement independet of inclination. I am curious: how do you want to calculate this data? With GPS, you get the move vectors (according to TC, and it makes sense the GPS system has that information, so I believe he's right). Where ...

To make sure vibrations are not the issue, should it not be sufficient, to add some mass to the FC (metal plate should work), put this on soft stuff (foam) so that vibrations are mostly eliminated? For a test about vibrations I did this for my Naze32 to make sure the acc readings are not caused by t...

hkubota

It's really vibrating!! please somebody help me

As stupid as it sounds, you have to get rid of the vibrations. There are only few possibilities: motors (remove props and prop adapter), prop and prop adapter. And the prop wash if you happen to have loose parts vibrating in the prop wash.

Hi, I am coming from Naza which has very few values to tune. Life was simple then, and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au16aK6Q-0p0dENkdXVGVHJLRm5fRTFQdjBZbUhxZ3c&pli=1#gid=0 helped a lot to find usable tuning parameters. Level mode (ATTI in Naza-speak) has some odd behavior though ...

hkubota

Wondering if you can even bring this up in the air. Prop wash does not make a quad very stable. I'm assuming the motors are running nicely (without prop, but with prop adapter if possible) and the props are balanced. And you use not level mode, but acro mode (so the vibrations which usually throw of...

Just so you don't feel so alone here The linked video as well as well as the swiss copunterpart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CR5y8qZf0Y use motion capturing, so they know exactly where the objects (quads) are. Using that data you can make way better decisions what to do next. Compare LOS flight w...

Thanks for the reply. It was half wrong and half right: I is the parameter (I was not sure of that, so I am very glad you pointed me to the right direction), but it was too low. I went lower and lower and it got gradually worse: the distance until it overcompensated became less. So I move the other ...

hkubota

A bit background: I got a Naza kit and I like it. In ATTI (ACC) mode flying slowly all is well. Helped a lot to get used to fly around as it's fairly easy to control. However FFF in ATTI mode sucks and it messes what the Naza thinks is "down". So I got myself a Naze32 which is basically Mu...
