Well I am not actually trying to achieve what I have seen from DJI, I just wanted to know it could get at least a lot better than I have..... I have work to do on POS-H As far as the supposed stability of the DJI, the rig I have personal experience with is a Vision II, in a 30km wind it moved around...

anyone

perhaps this one?

Would 10hz communications increase the hold resolution?

Perhaps using I2C rather than serial Uart?

I am getting back into things after some time away. Just loaded the latest MW 2.4 My hardware is a an AIOP 1.1 from HK its about 2 years old I think. The GPS is a Ublox NEO 6M (Crius) I updated the FW and set it up over a year ago, followed a guide, I don't recall the exact settings. I am thinking I...

exactly what I needed! thanx!!

dale.e

can anyone help me out here? I still have no idea where to connect V_BATPIN on the AIOpro

dale.e

Never believe too quickly, try it out yourself. Just open a HH gyro and you will see there is only a mcu and a gyro sensor. So mwii boards are very capable of doing it! "basic"-HH is not more then the the I-term accumulator. See it as a water bottle that gets filled (+) (with the error) a...

dale.e

I dont know where or when, but I once read a post saying HH could not be done with the hardware built into a MW FC in the way it works on a CCPM Gyro.
I am not fluent enough to repeat the why of it, but I did belive it.......

dale.e

on my MWFC SE there was a pin marked Vbat, I now have a Crius AIO Pro and I am not sure where to connect?

dale.e

Ok I just had either an epiphany or a stroke, you guys decide......

Could we not just take a HH gyro like those used in a basic CCPM setup and put it between the Yaw output of the RX and the yaw input of the FC?

Worth a try no?

edit: if somene posted this idea b4 then please just call it a stroke

dale.e

my RCTimer AIO Pro used to lock up on every flash via the built in USB, I just found a bit of bad soldering on the PCB and repaired it so its good now. before this I had to unplug the gps and BT and wire up a FTDI and get a thin bit of plastic threaded through my frame to press the reset at just the...

dale.e

yes the KK2.0 does now have autolvl, but that is the only advanced flight mode. with the built in LCD screen it is now the easiest to setup autolvl FC out there IMO. but still has no baro or mag or ability to add anything like GPS or bluetooth etc. IMO evolveing into these functions is almost invent...

dale.e

I tried both, win 7 ended up being a little slower.

I will chime in on a few components but not all: the 9X is a great start, if your into modding it, its very fast to rival radio's worth 500$ or more. I would go for the no module version and add the frsky stuff: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=24257&aff=182659 ...

dale.e

well its all rebuilt for try number two, I have not started PID adjusting yet, left them at the default settings so far. @hamburger well I was outside for all the flight b4 the crash, close to 10 min of air time with no failure, not saying your wrong, could be I just did not get a gust that lifted ...

dale.e

I forgot to add (and I should since it is regarding the overall topic) that I can now flash up new scetch with no problems. after the crash I took the MWC out and examined it inder a low power kids microscope, found poor solder in several areas around the USB port, corrected and now it seems to do w...

dale.e

thanx

one more thing to stop thinking about.....

dale.e

I have figurd out my magnetic declination to be 17.18 east
I dont want to reflash as its a pain to do but, I currently have "17.11f" as the setting in my config.h
that should not be enough to throw it out should it?

what is the 'f' in the settting for?

thanx in advance

dale.e

I have a small notebook MSI U210 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo Processor NV-40 2GB running xp.
its too slow for wingui, but wingui has all the feautures I want, and my other LT is 17" so too big for a groundstation.
kinda stuck atm.
Cant find a Linuix solution that includes video.....

dale.e

see anything out of place?

well I got the quad all built and tested, flew nice and all, really nice for about half a pack. Then I got it in the air about 8-10m and something went completely screwey. it suddenly started ocilateing from side to side did that about 4 times wildly increaseing the total angle till it was inverted ...

@albertoLG I had, and I downloaded the newest Arduino 1.0.3 as well. @wildo1967 you got me on the right track, and to a partial soulution. I soldered on the pins for the external power supply, pulled the ESC power jumper and booted it from a 3a/5v BEC and it booted every time. But I still could not ...

dale.e

@wildo1967 I will give that a go when I get home tonight. I have a BEC I can solder a batt connector to pretty quick. Neone know how long these things usually take to boot up? also how much power do they consume? hard to belive it would be more than half an amp that a modern USB port can put out. Th...

dale.e

looks like it is a bad FC.

I got it to work, it is a boot failure of the CPU. If I press the reset button a few times it boots up, then it works ok untill power is off.
Then I have to bugger around with the reset again for a while.

Sux, now I have to ship it back likley.

Hi all, I have a brand new AIO Pro from RC-Timer I just opend, and I cant get Arduino 1.0.1 to upload a sketch to it. This is raw, on the bench at the moment, the only thing connected is the USB cable. The MW sketch verifys ok, but then it just hangs at the 'uploading' section and the blue rx light ...

I swear I searched for some time b4 I asked about the guide, then I find this like 2 min after I ask:

DERP!!!

dale.e

has anyone written a Multiwii CCPM guide?

that would help me a ton in understanding where I am going with this.

dale.e

so a multiwii CCPM setup normally also has an HH gyro for the tail then? interesting. I have been looking into converting FB heads to FBL, I know its hasstle but I am sort of a nut when it comes to spare bits on hand. I found a FBL head from HK for 10$ but in my have 4 of everything way of thinking ...

dale.e

I have been a little curious about this as well, I have only managed to get autolevel to work so far. if I want 'loiter' do I just have everything but RTH on? or to 'loiter' if I leave everything off and turn on position hold does it activate what is needed automatically? I imagine I would have to t...

dale.e

I only ask this as I have half a dozen FB heads and want to use what I have up rather than purchace a new head just to make this work. The bird is a Trex 450 SE V2 clone from HK. I am not a fast forward pilot, nor 3d, I can hover quite well What I want, is really only to add self leveling to make th...

ok, no idea why the 5v pin was failing, I decided to risk it and ran a jumper wire on the back of the MW to the UART 5v pin. in theory they would be the same 5v rail anyhow so where ever the circut trace was haveing issues would be patched. test #1 resulted in no smoke and the ERF powered up. now I ...

I have a problem with my MW SE, it seems my FTDI 5v pin is not delivering 5v when under load. my serial port just beside it does fine, I am trying to use a wireless FTDI system from Ciseco UK. when I use my usb ftdi cable adaptor its all fine cause it gets power from the USB port, but when I use thi...

dale.e

ic ok, no worries. there is not reset on this one in a few weeks I get a wireless setup thats on its way now: m as well as its USB counterpart for the ground station to work with. as it turns out, it looks like rctimer has a better and less expensive alternitive, albiet with much larger antenne. tha...

rather than open a new thread for another BT question I decided to tack it into here. can I upload a new scetch via Arduino 1.01 through the BT? I was going to try it last night but the Arduino software wont see my BT com port? WinGUI and MultiWiiConf_2_1 are connecting to the port and working via B...

If I may jump in, I cant seem to find the right resistors. I can get 33k 39k 47k and 56k I was thinking if I used: 56k and 33k, total resistance of 89k. 12.6 x 33/89 = 4.67v. is this ok to use or should I maybe go 39k and 56k? Why not make one of the resistor a variable POT, this way the voltage ca...

I knew it was some simple thing.
