Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?
After a few measurements and a deeper look in the Sensors sketch, I am puzzled with the differences of low-pass between MPU6050-ACC and BMA180, could someone help me understand ? Default Low-pass for MPU6050, ACC is 260 Hz. i2c_writeReg(MPU6050_ADDRESS, 0x1A, MPU6050_DLPF_CFG); //CONFIG -- EXT_SYNC_...

Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?
Alex, merci beaucoup for taking the time for this detailed answer. This little thread helped me finish a Matlab/arduino/multiwii data logger for my vibrations test bench. I'll send a few samples here after i've done a couple tests on different motor brands, which will ultimately go on a comrade's we...

Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?
acc (and gyro) values are usually divided by 4 or 8 for some idiotic reason in multiwii. you better check that the driver doesn't d o something like >> 4 or >> 2 in getADC() function. Thank you for replying timecop. I had a look again. Indeed, it seems to be not only divided by 4, but there's also ...

Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?
Hi, Since i had no luck with this question, i've started coding my own vibration logger that interfaces with Matlab for real time measurements. ITG3205 was easy, lots of tutorials. However, for the BMA180, i had better luck reading through the multiwii code, to get the part that exported the accADC ...

export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?
Hi, The only sort of related answers to this topic question i could found were at http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4348&p=44553&hilit=csv#p44553 and with the EZ-GUI app. I was hoping there'd be a simpler solution, already implemented in the multiwiiconf GUI, to export th...

If you are using code in shared, you must use the Gui from shared, as that has the page that allows you to set the VBATSCALE, MINTHrOTTLE, etc. Without this, I think they just get a value...

Does this also mean that, even if we close the GUI, restart the computer, restart the board, and re Open the GUI, we'd still have to hit Reset in GUI for changes to take effect ?

Re: Horizontal horizon off after ACC calibration
Another question, i'm a bit confused with gyros and ACC. Is the artificial horizon reading from gyros or from ACC ??? They're both attached next to each other so not sure which one i should check for orientation, and auto-level needs ACC, hence the question.

That did not solve the pb, in addition, i removed this esc + motor and left the other two plugged in. Then one of the remaining esc is getting as hot, with motor cold. Another thing, everything is cold when the servo cables of the esc aren't plugged in. This doesn't make sense at all. Any idea ? EDI...
