Hi Ezio, I've had a strange flyaway with my quadcopter with iNav fw, luckily the altitude was very low and so it crashed to the fence with few damages (one prop broken). In this session luckily I had the unlocked EZ-GUI connected and set with auto log enabled, so I think I have the log to investigat...

Hi Ezio, Thanks for your EZ-GUI, it's awesome. On my smartphone Samsung all it's OK, all voice infos are good, but with my tablet Asus 10" I can't hear the speech, I only have the sound on the connection and a syren as "Arm advice" when arming, but all other info by voice nothing hap...

Where and when we can suggest something and so find some new devs ?

@ ezio, Thanks for this great job, I knew it a year ago and I use it. Now a question: Why in these last versions it's not possible navigate into app pages if no connection with the copter.

Hi all, This post is not strictly related with Failsafe but related to Landing routine. As you may have verifyed, some time after land the motors do not stops automatically. Some time ago, I've investigate in it and discovered why. See here http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3989&...

Hey Dennis to me all seems OK. The upper right indicator (brown/blue) is the AH or Artificial Horizon, so will simulate the real horizon (imagine that you are sitting on the true copter controls and a terrible fog do not show you the ground....) The other two indicators downside the AH are the attit...

You can try mwii 2.4 but ensure to edit in multiwii.h the line:
#define VERSION 230 instead of 240
i'm using this and winGui is running OK.

If there aren't advantages I preferred as it was before because more easy to read/understand.

Hi solarwater,
Good job, I've done some tests with NAV simulator and then real fly tested. It seems run well.
In the next I will do further tests.

Sorry, duplicated.

@Leo,
For me, only one POI at the beginning of waypoints not worked, or better to say, worked, but I found that the copter was to slow to keep the Poi direction and so do not keep the nose very well. today I can't try again due a strong wind. I will try again in few days.

It's quite cold and windy today but that didn't deter me from trying the POI issues I did two tests.

In the past I've added some foam, but with bad results.

Indeed, disarm appears to be somewhat random. Hi stronnag and @eosbandi, Now I understood why the disarm appears random after autoland, this because of your own P term in alt hold PID.
