The receiver sending no pulses triggers failsafe. When failsafe is activated within Harakiri via feature command. So you need to configure your RX to do that. The other trigger option is to configure the deadpilot setting, but that route should only be taken if your receiver does not allow sending n...

Looks good, that sidetrack . I used not to be much fascinated by fixed wings, but the more I fly copters, the more airplanes also catch my interest. Let's see, copters still keep me busy enough. A vtol would be interesting once. Or a quad with 270° fully titable rotors, like a 4wd and 4w steering ca...

Well, you don't need to check every day These days it is brm who regularily keeps me from writing monologues. But besides that, I need to say I am, after all those two years, still absolutely happy with Harakiri. I just finished setting up a new copter and it just "does the job": It has a ...

Bamfax

Just some quick notes regarding tuning. To be completed later. PID tuning ------------ When is it applied? PIDs should be written to eeprom / become effective when copter is disarmed (true?). So inflight changes will require a disarm. Old/standard PID controller or new PID controller? When was this ...

Btw, this is from the small telemetry converter project I am working on, which logs an extended telemetry set (mavlink incl. IMU / Motor Outputs / GPS time+dop, locally connected current and voltage) down to OpenTX. Basically I wanted to save on weight, not having to use the quite heavy FrSky curren...

Hey, anyone still alive here? Yesterday I had one of those "let's make it better" attacks and started playing with my PIDs. Funny was, I went through all the possible values from low to high (on roll and pitch), and the only thing that had a noticable effect was P. Besides that, maxing out...

Hi Guys, does someone know if the GPS changes proposed my MrFiero, that the GPS receiver is autoconfigured with MrFiero settings, made it into Crashpilot1000's Testcode3 source of Harakiri? I had a quick look right now and it seems it did not go into Testcode3? Reason I am asking is that I sometimes...

Bamfax

Yes we can do mavlink only but you will have to set up the auxchannels in CLI with "auxset" and the Acc and Gyro calibration with Stick-commands - or have a option Mavlink only in the cli that you might want to enable/disable. I haven't checked Meisters GCS. Concerning the output of raw s...

Ah, grats. How does your camstab gimbal look like?

Hi Guys, this might be a stupid question and I maybe should know better, but: I am getting used to my FrSky telemetry display on the Taranis, where part of the data comes in from the mavlink2frsky Teensy converter.

Rob, I don't need Oneshot to be happy. I know what I have and I am happy with that. For example, a beautifull and smooth flying experience. The Kiss ESCs are great without Oneshot as well.

Hey Rob, hail to harikiri . I was silently hoping you would say one day that you're coding again.

Hi Guys, I had a try at implementing the Mavlink IMU Message and it seems to work. I really have no idea what I am doing, so maybe someone with more experience can review it - that would be great. With that it should be possible to read out the acceleration, angular speed and magnetic field. Of cour...

Great Tele Prot Writeup Chris!

Correct. This MAvlink to FRSKY FW runs on a Pro Mini and does not connect to the s-port (A guy did a version of the Ivale firmware for the Pro Mini but i can't get it to work). So, I got the Ivale firmware running on a Teensy 3.1 connected to the s-port of a X6R, but I am using a Pixhawk for the SB...

Bamfax

Actually, looking at telemetry.c (which covers FrSky telemetry) seems like ACC is sent, but not HDOP/VDOP.

I have a Pixhawk hooked up to a X6R and a Teensy 3.1 board flashed with the Ivale FW you mentioned. The Lua script runs fine on the simulator but not on the Taranis (for now).

@ Bamfax Thanks for the thoughts about the copter batteries. I will indeed check those LG batteries out. I am worried about the drain rate on the panasonics. I will probably test with them, and if they dont survive its just part of the trial. You are bang on with your guesstimates! for everything. ...

So, shaving more weight if i can, and loading it up with 18650 Panasonic 3400mah cells x 12. 3S x 4 wich will give me 13600mah but the battery pack is 580g. Having 4 in paralell should also give me 32Amps drain ability. but this will bring my AUW to 1380g (hopefully less) wich is still less than my...

Btw, I found "termite" to be a simple, clean and nicely working Serial Terminal Program: http://www.compuphase.com/software_termite.htm . Copy and paste works and it hides all that terminal detailgore. At least for me, that is. It is the opposite of hterm, etc, so hardcore geeks, avoid

Rob, devorssi is working great, I had a good time using this feature. Many thanks again for this feature.
A few month ago I also hopped on the Frsky train, so this will keep me busy with these new telemetry features I am learning to enjoy.

Bamfax

Maybe the cli setting devorssi helps you. It assumes there is another channel after the last input channel (4+rc_aux). Rssi is taken from that appended channel.
Where does the d4r put the rssi signal? How to you put it into an aux channel?

Bamfax

Aaargh, that hurts to hear. Very sorry for that. you should have tried harakiri earlier

. But it sounds like you found your copter again. Thanks for the info about the gps. Go for harakiri

Bamfax

Strips, I read a few posts before that you also bought the neo m8n with the big 35mm antenna from csgshop. Would you mind sharing your experiences with us on those two ublox 8series? Why are you now looking for a bigger antenna for the max m8q? I am also considering buying a newer gps, yours are the...

MrFiero, Just a quick one, your new config works great! Clear Sky (as opposed to yesterday), 5-7 sats right away, PH great - slowing for max 5m, short PH pos circling for 2secs in maybe 1m, lockon, done. Great. I had two or three moments were there was a flyback and flyforward for 5m. Just one Lipo,...

Gervais, who is quite experienced with gps, has written quite a lot about the ublox 8's. He actually recommends the mini 8 from csg-shop and the bigger one.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks a lot again for all the GPS background, MrFiero. I just came back from another 4 LiPos. I don't have much time right now, so this needs to be a short posting.

Bamfax

MrFiero, if you are flying in high winds with PH instantly on, and with that situation being your comfortzone, I assume your "parking into PH" behaviour must be a lot better than mine. So yesterday I have seen two behaviours: 1) with high settlespeed, PH parking moves engaged quite fast, b...

I admit it was a slightly dumb question, the more I think about it. I was thinking about how the code steers the copter, e.g. how you do a "drift left 10" or a "brake with 40 cm/s, but max. tilt of 15 degrees". So I kinda got confused if that is directly done in the sense of &quo...

Bamfax

One question I always wondered about is, does the "autonomous steering", for example stabilizing and GPS PH, always go through the PID controllers? Ok, for stabilizing this is quite clear, since this is what we are tuning. But all GPS steering is also handled this way? So if I have an osci...

Bamfax

Kuh, a good working Mag is essential for GPS functions. You need to verify it on the bench by also giving it throttle (=current). Disturbance of the mag is primarily hardware related, not software.

Bamfax

I could be wrong how it works, but it is working well for me at this point. At times i do travel quickly then release and it does a pretty good job braking and then PH with maybe a quick circle at 1M max. Sometimes its a circle, sometimes it drifts back over previous flight path. I have flown two L...

Kuh, there have been some problem reports with leaving the pass feature, but none I know of where the CLI was completely unavailable. KB59 had written something qualified:

Fiero, here is an older (March 2014) post from Rob/CP1000 where he describes the workings of braking into PH. You probably know that already, but maybe to serve as a basis for discussing that. http://fpv-community.de/showthread.php?18349-NAZE32-alternative-Software&p=565713&viewfull=1#post56...

I have been flying now a couple of flights with my latest Quad build. And with that being my first serious experience with GPS PH in Harakiri, I am tremendously impressed by how well it works.
