Hey, do you guys have the KV-OSD latest release r370 working fine with the latest Hrakiri version?

I get most of the stuff working, but for example it doesn't detect when the FC is armed as well as it doesn't some other details.
Like the active features, GPS HPS, HOLD, MAG,...

...In Portuguese or English AH can be easily turned on or off using a TX switch. Visible on MWii GUI but you also need to set it up on config.h. -KV Tanto faz! True, but it also hides the coordinates. I'd like to have those visible at all times just in case. I'm judging by the comments in the code ...

IceWind

Hi,

is there an option to disable the AHI?
I looked in the config file as well as in the GUI but I can't find it.

Thanks.

IceWind

That OSD stuff is probably baudrate associated (115K vs 57K). Since KVOSD is a very nice project stick to that. Having native minimosd support isn't a bad idea because I am building a fpv backpack with minimosd. So I can attach it to my (new!)radian pro with arduplane and to my naze copter. Over th...

IceWind

Ok thanks. I'll keep the KV OSD as well. Do you know if it's possible to remove the attitude bar? That thing is annoying and I don't want to spend time touching the code. What I liked in the Arducam OSD code was that, it was easy to define exactly what I want and placed it exactly where I want to as...

IceWind

Hey,

Anyone tried link this to a MimimOSD running Arducam? (Mavlink)
I have one ready to go with version 2.4, but it doesn't get a signal.
So before I start loading other version randomly wanted to check if anyone got this working.

Thanks.

Last month I joined a two day Quad/FPV meeting. At some stage me and friend both flying a Naze32, we went for some fun FPV flying. Well people there liked it so much, that after that 6x Naze32 were purchased so far and few more are on it's way. I have to say most of these were DJI NAZA users so it's...

IceWind

I was reading up this and I don't quite get the idea of adding this. So you want the FC to mix for you Yaw, if you initiate a turn using the roll (determined by the current speed) or Roll in case you use Yaw instead. But that is what you (the pilot) should normally do. For the ones flying planes, sp...

IceWind

Any plans to change the PID calculations to be time aware?
(Just curiosity, I have no problems with my Naze32 it fly wonders...)

IceWind

Not quite the buzzer I have must be connected to a PWM signal to work and I was trying to avoid taking it apart.
I'll figure something out.

IceWind

I was checking on the code and can't find it, can you confirm if the CAMTRIG feature is present or not?
In the Multiwii I used it for a buzzer. I know the Naze32 has dedicated pins for it but the one I have has a servo plug so it's
much more simple to plug it to a motor pin output for example.

IceWind

Thanks Rob for the insights. Thank you very much for your video but your bmp seems to work. BTW I think you are not using mpu accelerometer (probably adxl ?). I would do a simple flight test. If you see althold doing crazy stuff than you can always flip the switch. Yes, the FF board uses the ADXL AC...

IceWind

@IceWind: Thanks for the test feedback! At the moment I see that it can very accurately detect variations in the altitude but the readings doesn't reflect the end altitude as after showing the increase/decrease in the altitude it goes back again to ~0. I suspect this is due to my bmp085 been damage...

IceWind

Tested and approved! Thanks for the quick fix. - Loaded 2.3 FW - Reset to defaults - Enabled GPS feature - Working! One question related to the ALT value. I saw that you changed the code, and his value comes from combining the BARO readings with the the ACC Z axis. (among other sensors, like sonar i...

ACK! I'll load it and let you know how it goes.
In the mean time I may get a Naze32, I can't make my MAG working on the FreeFlight and I do want to try the full deal.

IceWind

I had it already running at 5hz / 11520), so set the remaining and double-checked what messages I was sending (NAV_SOL, NAV_POSLHN, NAV_VELNED all set to 1). Changed the settings in the FC but still no luck. It gets the sat count and detects the 3D fix but doesn't get the lat/lon coordinates. (does ...

IceWind

Thanks! I'm going to try that.

I'm using a is a uBLox 6M with eeprom in the shield and a 1575R antenna.
(This thing is fast to get a 3D fix, comparing to another ublox I have with a much smaller one)

IceWind

back again... I was testing the GPS. I'm using a UBLOX and the FC can dected the incoming messages, I see the heartbeat pulse in the UI, it also detects the 3D Fix in the UI and by the FC ledd blinking, but it doesn't get the Lat/Long coordinates. I tried loading the 3DR-Ublox.txt and again the same...

That's what you get for using windows...

Hey, Decided to give this a go and loaded it in my FreeFlight v1.2. All fine but no cli, similar problem to what was described by subaru4wd before. Even using a normal terminal tool all I get is bogus text in the cli mode, flashing is fine but I need the cli to set a couple features like PPM and cha...

IceWind

@Crashpilot1000: I usually only fly with Gyro so I wasn't using this FC I'm trying now. I probably tried it a while back with 2.0 and never had great results. I recall the mag was drifting alot.
With 2.2 the mag is working perfectly, precise and no drift.
I'll load 2.1 and give it a try.

IceWind

Mistakes happen.

I thought you were a moderator based in the reply. I'll probably won't create a new one and just leave this here to prevent duplication.

IceWind

When the Level is disabled the ACC should not be used in the calculations.
Actually if you only have a GYRO the level values will still be there.

IceWind

When the Level is disabled the ACC should not be used in the calculations.

Didn't noticed I was under that area when created it.
Move it to the more appropriate one.

Hey, I was testing HeadFree mode and noticed that it doesn't work at 100%. What I mean by this is that it only works ok when the quad is in certain position. Assuming that 0 degrees is when the quad is facing forward, it only reacts well when I turn up to 90 to 115 degrees to the right. If I turn mo...

I'm taking the 3.3v from the vReg in the FF board.

IceWind

It read 2105... is that bad? Problems with drift? Update: Read a bit and it seems STM32 likes 10K pullups so that's what I added. Still no luck. Only one axis is read. Searching for that reference of the HMC5883 I found little but found some mention to some issues with the inicial batch of Honeywell...

IceWind

Thanks! The shield doesn't have vreg. http://www.fraskito.net/sites/default/files/u1/hmc5883.JPG When I tested it I used my tarduino duemilanove, so no need for voltage conversion. BUT indeed I forgot about the pull=up resistors. damm... I'll add some reistors (4.7K?? , need to see what I have in S...

You should be able to install the APK's directly, if you don't know where to get them just ask and someone will get them for you. (If needed i can compile it if that is the case) IMHO trying to use a ported version of Processing and other libs that already suck in a PC doesn't seem good idea. If you...

IceWind

I suspect you mean that for the MEGA's not for the ProMini's right? MEGA as well as ProMini or Leonardo. The TX-part of SoftSerial is very small and doesn't take too many bytes. It increases the cycle time, however. Perfect. No problem in my case (unless the increase is huge) as I always have low c...

Add code for that on the routine that detects the arm/disarm action.
Are we trying to set that for the FrSky telemetry.

IceWind

Get the temperature reading from the atmega and use it to compensate the drift.

IceWind

For simple operations yes, for waypoints could be tricky as it would easier to have a map to select/edit points rather than the radio. Btw I made a different connection involving less cables. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g359/nandox7/IMG_20121101_231854.jpg Straight into a RS232<>TTL converte...

One of the features of the RTH is point the head/tail home. For that the MAG is needed no?

Found this, does it ring a bell? Or was something different?

What code version are you using?
I noticed the same when using the latest dev version.
But just thought the magnetic pole had changed in the mean time.

IceWind

Couldn't wait for an answer, went ahead and added code to the MWC to support it. Yes, it outputs a analog value for both the Current and Voltage. 0-3.3v. Using with 5v will loose a bit of resolution but nothing problematic, tomorrow I'll see if all the calculation are correct. And I'll need to play ...

IceWind

Did anyone tried to use one of these?

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9028

I was curious to try the current meter features in the Mwc and as I have this one it seemed a good choice.
Good thing is I can get both Voltage and Current from it.

IceWind

I'd say that more important that moving to Git, Mercurial or whatever is to move from a ad-hoc project managing model to a task/feature oriented. In google code it's more or less possible to do it, by users logging features that later will be voted. That way is possible to see the top ranked ones as...

IceWind

I have it all working fine with a promini. What I've done is to change the code to only send the FrSky data when the FC is armed. That way I avoid using a software port and I keep the serial port for Mwc configuration when disarmed. Only drawback is that Mwc serial had to be slowed down to 9600 but ...

IceWind

I meant to add this on the last port but I couldn't find all the links, so I only mentioned it briefly. There are some simulators that allow HIL ("Hardware in the loop") plugins to be developed. Like X-Plane and Flightgear. Here's an example from Aeroquad HIL plugin for x-Plane. (m) m Or w...

IceWind

What would be good was to have a FC linked to a Flight simulation software.
Either a RC one like AeroSim or Phoenix or even something like FlightGear or this one that is already
been used for something similar:

IceWind

Mine never worked directly, I always have to run it from Processing.
As well as it crashes every single time I close the Comm connection.

IceWind

Yes, just to make sure that the sensor is been powered correctly.
Basically to start debugging all things one by one to make sure everything is working as intended.
