Re: MultiWii GPS support

Supppose you will not use i2c but custom bit-banged protocol sending blindly data and clock? Then speed depends only of yor processors clock (assuming that int's are disabled during transfer). In that case you'd need a separate processor at the gps side collecting and deciphering data from slow gps ...

Re: power meter for 1prebis7 - beta testers wanted

I'd prefer SI units like mA/h also. If we measure something, we get a value with unit. But of course units are hard to determine since all depends of load used (motors). Loop time is not precisely constant as well. I think that one version of Powermeter might use Hamburger's approach (which is very ...

Re: MultiWii v1.7 released

I noticed strange behavior since the release of ver. 1_7. Controller hangs after calibration. If commanded to calibrate from the GUI everything works ok. Is it a problem of my flight controller only? Ups, my mistake. This is a command for LCD configuration, not calibration. Sorry for troubling Plea...

Re: MultiWii v1.7 released

I have an ITG3200 gyro, BMA180 acc, magneto HMC5843 and BMP085 pressure sensor. All running from embedded 3,3V supply which looks ok on the scope. Anyway, calibration command from the GUI passes ok and sensors work. Moving pitch to max and yaw right starts calibration, led blinks as usual and then e...

Re: MultiWii1_preter7 TRICOPTER YAW servo doesn't move ???

Hi! Yes, i fly with tri using the preter-7 sketch version. I do have ome problems tuning PID values but all motors and servo behave themselves as they should. Perhaps you made some mistake editing the sketch ? I have collected all corrections mentioned in forum into the new preter sketch. The power-...

Re: TRI motor pitch calculation wrong?

I tested your correction and at least on my Tri it works. Somehow it looks like tri is now better controllable.

Re: power meter for 1prebis7 - beta testers wanted

Thanks! Homework should be done before asking questions... :)
The program for compiling GUI *.pde releases is Processing found here: http://processing.org/
Mentioned ControlP5 library could be downloaded from here: http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/index.html
I am still wondering how to apply a patch under windows. Is it a Linux feature only ?

Re: power meter for 1prebis7 - beta testers wanted

Very interesting code. I'd like to test it but...forgive me a newbie question: how does one apply Your patches? Especially to the GUI code (I have written code in assembly and for PIC processors thus far, that's why i have no experience in arduino environment). I managed to apply changes simply by c...
