Re: 2.3 is finally here :)

Rob, Thanks for the information. I agree with your assessment on r1649. I haven't gone back to dev trunc since 2.3 was released and winter arrived. It seems that my BARO disable works for now but I will try an upgrade in the spring. The effect seen on 2.3 when bringing a warm proven MRC into a cold ...

BARO Reset when Arming?

Hi, I have been disabling the BARO on Multiwii when flying in cold weather due to undesired performance when taking the MRC outside to my backyard to fly. On Arducopter, the BARO readings are reset apon arming so it works fine in cold weather if you let the MRC sit powered on for at least 5 to 10 mi...

Re: Airplane mode

I found a technique to zeroize the offset between PASSTHRU and Horizon mode. First, I recorded my trims from a level flight test. Next, I moved the trims, one surface at a time, so that I found a spot where the surface did not change deflection between PASSTHRU and Horizon modes. I recorded these ne...

Re: Airplane mode

Hi, I have set up a Multiwii airplane using v2.3 with an older Pro2 MEGA board. My goal is to eventually use GPS for RTH and waypoint features but my first test will only allow throttle through R/C control for safety. I changed the orientation of the board 90 degrees so that it would fit inside the ...

Re: XAircraft Pilot Lamp Accessory Hack

I got the MWC Pilot Lamp fixed. It suffered from the same MEGA-Death code bug that the buzzer had. This will work on either Pro2 or Pro3 boards. Sorry for the poor photos but you get the idea. Enjoy! 1) Use the normal BUZZER pin D8 and supply power to the device from a known 5v source (not the D8 he...

Re: Attemp to integrate sonar (ultrasonic sensor)

scanman, Is the sonar only used for landing lights in Multiwii r2.2? I do not see an option for the HC-SR04 sonar in config.h so is there external code for this? Thank you. /* Sonar */ // for visualization purpose currently - no control code behind //#define SRF02 // use the Devantech SRF i2c sensor...

Re: MultiWii EZ-GUI

Hi, I have a few issues with the Multiwii EZ-GUI that perhaps someone can help me with. My version seems to be the latest from July 15, 2013 in the Android Apps store. First, this is my favorite Multiwii tablet app and a key reason for switching to Multiwii; being able to make field changes on an An...

Re: MultiWii PRO V2 Setup

Beetlex, 1) Try calibrating the ACC again. All motor values should be similar when the MRC is level. 2) The ESCs will beep a few times and then stop. If they continue to beep, it is like the MUltiWii code is not properly running on the Pro 2 board. Be sure that the Arduino sketch is set up properly ...
