Increase the Throttle PID Attenuation to somewhere closer to 0.50 or 0.70 if need be.

This will reduce PID gains as the throttle rises, keeping the jitters away.

subaru4wd

I think you need to use a FTDI adapter, connect to the GPS using the u-center software and change the baud rate to 115k if not done-so already.

Which GPS receiver are you using? The GUI should show the # of sat's and its Lat/Long info.

subaru4wd

He might need to adjust some stuff in config.h to get it to initialize properly. Depends on what his transmitter is set at, and what the throttle range looked like when they were calibrated.

He did do a throttle range calibration right?

This board is not a total fail. Its a great board at an unbeatable price. I have two and they fly great.

subaru4wd

If you just plugged an ESC into the board without reading the warnings, you probably fried something. There's a reason paul reversed the + & - on the ESC connections. Try to power the board with 5v on the input pins and see if it comes to life. Don't know what to say about the spektrum stuff, as...

subaru4wd

I have one of those 4-in-1 ESC's. I have used on previous builds before as well.

They are not difficult to operate.

subaru4wd

That OSD board looks brilliant! Can we get a pin diagram for all the exposed pins?? Can't wait to see that on your site witespy!

Laptops that have built in bluetooth will sometimes hold COM ports for paired devices.

We use these things to fly quadcopters.

CLI options for baseflight would be a huge bonus!

Also I suppose in my original suggestion, 0.01 would be too fine of an incriment. Maybe 0.1 would be better.

subaru4wd

I always thought it would be nice if the PID screen had + & - buttons surrounding the parameters for quick 0.01 adjustments. Maybe select a specific field (like Pitch, Roll, or NavR... etc...) and get a new screen with just the P I D gains for that field, with larger fonts and buttons instead of...

VIN = Voltage Input. Thats where you want to send 5v to.

My brain just melted

I suppose it is possible for me to care less than I already do. So... what was your point exactly?

subaru4wd

GPS Navigation should not hold up valuable releases. There's some good stuff in 2.3 that I think needs to be mainstream. Maybe 2.3.1 can have GPS navigation, but there's quite a few of us who could care less about waypoints. I believe what needs the most attention is the Wiki. We need to make sure i...

Thats a pretty nice setup you have there.

Its probably best to just connect one ESC to your RX at a time and do it without the flight controller.

subaru4wd

put the controller in Acro mode, and keep he throttle low, just above idle. Then use the right stick and push it into a corner, and it should cut 3 of the 4 motors. Moving the stick into another corner should activate one other motor.

subaru4wd

does the gui ever show more than 4 motors?

subaru4wd

if the guI is only showing 4 motor outputs, then I dont think you have the octo set properly in the sketch. Try setting it to Hex and see if more motors show up. It should look like this in the GUI:

I have been leaving my laptop at home lately (which is what i use for a DVR). I recently picked up a GoPro Hero, swapped from a 3S and 10" props to a 4S and 9" props.

No OSD but still all FPV

Setup:
Harakiri 32bit firmware on Flip32+ controller w/uBlox gps
MinimOSD board with some custom KV OSD firmware
600TVL PZ0420 Security Cam - 1280mhz video & FrSky 2.4ghz radio

That thread will probably help.

Yeah, just plug them into where they go.

Done.

subaru4wd

Make sure you power the analog & digital side of the MinimOSD board before you upload the new font.

Arduino is the programming code that multiwii is written in. You only need to worry about arduino if you have to edit config.h to change hardware parameters.

Here is the mac OSX driver for your FlipMWC 1.5. Make sure this is installed: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w1c9dr1yc0df ... Driver.zip

One problem is latency. Any latency in the video will make FPV flying difficult. This is the reason we all use Analog video. Analog video works, and it works great. I don't see any reason to go all digital, unless you want to FPV in HighDef, good luck finding enough bandwidth to pull that off. Also...

subaru4wd

Anyway, developments were made on the Multiwii code regarding (and I repeat) ANALOG READINGS (nothing to do with PWM) and I would recommend them because in the future we need to have as much as we can on the serial protocol... I second that. I predict OSD will sooner or latter become on ground devi...

Hi. I tried to test GPS PosHold, but when i turned on this feature copter immediately lost his position and flew to the side. Have someone working PosHold and RTL on baseflight firmware? If you want GPS features, its probably best to try out Harakiri and forget about baseflight. Timecop has made it...

I have talked about this in the past... besides, Multiwii rocks on all readings at this moment so, why do you need to change the code and solder stuff on the ATmel?

My FrSky D8R-II and D8R-XP output RSSI in digital PWM form. I wish the use of the MISO pin was better documented, but now I am in the middle of switching over to UHF which uses a 0-3.3v filtered analog signal. I heard the KV firmware only uses 0-1.1v and this is a limitation of the firmware, not the...

I did flight control to PC uSB using the GUI and after the manual read I did understand better to do the do the to do good flight.

subaru4wd

Yes I agree, the best way is to directly feed it to the OSD board. Keeping it simple. I was just curious before I soldered to my minimOSD)

subaru4wd

Hey Rob. With standard MultiWii boards we're able to send RSSI from our receiver for OSD, etc. Is there any way we can achieve this in Harakiri as well?

subaru4wd

No i have not messed with it at all. I do have a servo on my FPV-cam, and have a it wired to the board, but just have not powered it up or done any messing with it at all. I found some slop in my FPV-Tilt mount, so right now its taped together real tight with electrical tape to make it FPV'able. I a...

Hey Rob. I am reading alot about the "Horizon mode bug" in MW2.2
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3806
Im curious if Harakiri suffers from the same "bug".

thanks.

subaru4wd

Yes, what is this about using the MISO pin for RSSI?

I have only heard of modifying the board, or using Multiwii pin inputs.

subaru4wd

What transmitter & receiver are you using? I had the same thing happen to me once with my stock Turnigy 9x 2.4ghz module. All motors quit, and my tricopter fell to the ground.

There are so many issues in mwc that need to be addressed before "waypoints" or any other useless shit is even started to talk about. Copypasting more and more tarducopter code without fixing the foundation only leads to garbage. So you should be lucky you can't fly "waypoints" ...

Timecop has no need or desire to fly waypoints, so we will probably never see it in Baseflight. Just cause you have a uBlox GPS doesn't mean anything when it comes to waypoints. Its the firmware that needs to support it, and right now there is no 32bit firmware for the Naze32 that will do waypoint n...
