Olaf,

Yes it's the wrong pin. My understanding is that it will only work with the analogue ports A0-A7. The code then needs to be changed to make it work.

Jimbo385

The answer to my question is yes as I've now done it. Mine was setup on pin A6 not A7 so I just changed PortF to A6 not A7.

Job done!

Jimbo385

Yes there is. That's what I used to get it to work.
However, I understand that I should work on the dedicated PPM pin!

Jimbo385

Well that's typical of me and yes very embarrassing! As stated, and I didn't understand at the time, the buzzer needs to be on PortF and the pin plugged into A7. However, I can't count! The board has 8 analogue ports that start at 0 with the last one being 7 so the the buzzer needs to be plugged int...

Jimbo385

Check, recheck and double check that on each leg the following;
Each esc is plugged into the correct position on the FC
Each motor is spinning in the correct direction
On each motor the propellor is spinning the correct direction
Each control on your TX doesn't need to be reversed

Good luck.

Jimbo385

I think I've had a revelation on the buzzer which I shall test this morning.

I warn you, I may be very embarrassed!

Jimbo385

Well, I didn't want to make you annoyed! I just wanted it to work.

However, I can fully understand your frustration as the documentation states that PPM should be on the PPM pin however to my frustration, it did not work!

Thanks for your help mate.

Jimbo385

Hi EOSBandi, Not sure what you were trying to say so I changed the Config.h to what you have written above and tried again but still no buzzer! I have placed the +ve of the buzzer in pin A7 and the -ve in the -ve pin on the ESC rail. All I understand I need to do is to change the Config.h file but I...

Jimbo385

I am not quite sure why the battery monitor is acting the way it is but it's working so I'm happy with it. Regarding PPM, I plugged to PPM cable from my RX into Throttle and un-commented #define PPM_ON_THROTTLE PPM now works! I had to select the correct control configuration and all works fine now. ...

Jimbo385

I am now happy with the battery monitoring on the board and have managed to get PPM working.

I still have an issue with the buzzer though. I'm going to create a post purely for that.

Cheers.

Jimbo385

I wonder what I'm doing wrong then?
Here is my post on buzzer n battery. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4632

With regards to PPM, here's my post on another forum, http://www.multi-rotor.co.uk/index.php?topic=6222.0

Cheers

Jimbo385

Thought I'd as but can you tell me if the following work ok with Navi b5 on the Crius AIOP v2 board as I'm having a few issues;

Buzzer
Voltage Monitor
PPM (CPPM) with an FRSKY D8R-XP

Many thanks

Jimbo385

Excellent!
Many thanks.

Jimbo385

I have now managed to upgrade my firmware to the Navi b5 and I have also introduced a buzzer & a voltage divider for battery monitoring. I did have help on another forum but because I'm using the Navi firmware, thought I'd ask here too. The buzzer I have used has come from the KK2.0 here m I hav...

Jimbo385

I believe in keeping things simple or as simple as possible. The key to all of these parameters is not just understanding what they do but also what their limitations are. It is impossible to cater for every eventuality. I'm sure that if asked to define a list of all the scenarios where RTH could/wo...

Jimbo385

I wonder if we can get Auto Stabilization like this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-pTpnsBrvU

Jimbo385

so going back to the topic of RTH and initial height, the default is 0cm!

So you'd be very unlucky if you needed to initiate this and you were below the treeline!

What about failsafe initiating RTH? So much going on within the NAVI code that I can't remember what's coded for this.

Jimbo385

This is interesting and actually quite funny! I wonder if adding profanity to the code makes it work better! I used to be a COBOL programmer and remember a piece of code that failed that I had to fix. When I opened up the code I immediately noticed lots of words that should not have been there. Evid...

Jimbo385

I must admit that I am getting more and more confused the deeper I get! Another board is saying plug the +ve into pin 32 and you are saying A7! Which do I choose and what apart from code is the difference? Also, If I go for your solution, where do I or more to the point, where do you plug the -ve fr...

Jimbo385

I would have thought that there would be 3 instances where Autoland would be very useful. Testing Failsafe In conjunction with RTH Testing would allow you to tune how quick or slow the copter would fall when initiated. I would suggest that for this to work, GPS_HOLD could be initiated first to halt ...

Jimbo385

Can't wait for an updated version to be made available as this is a fantastic app.

Jimbo385

Thanks.

It may be a little while before I test it as I'm still fine tuning hold and RTH.

Cheers

Jimbo385

Go into Settings and scroll NEXT a few times. There will be a screen called "Other". This is where you can change "Text t speech"

Jimbo385

Well, I do not have a USB2Serial Adapter. I have loaded the firmware and my settings. Connection ok via USB Connection OK via Bluetooth Connection appears OK via 3dr So, will this work or will I loose some functionality? I have not flown it yet but so far, all appears to be fine. The NAV parameters ...

This worked. Thanks.

I've never had to do that before though!

How do I do this as it's not mentioned anywhere?

Jimbo385

Right, next issue! I am now trying to update the config.h file in the Navi b5 Baro Fix Sketch . When I either double click the Multiwii file or select it within Arduino, I get the following error message The file "MultiWii.ino" needs to be inside a sketch folder named "MultiWii"....

Jimbo385

Ok, I sussed it out. I extracted the config zip file but it did not create it's own folder to place the files in. I created the folder manually and coppied the files into it. However, I did not copy in the ZH-HANS folder! Once I did this, started again and hit Upload Custom Firmware, it allowed me t...

Jimbo385

Well, I fond the 3DR Config tool, plugged my unit into the USB port. Ran the program, selected the com port, the correct baud rate and hit Load Settings. Now, if I hit either Upload Firmware (local) or Upload Custom Firmware, it does it's own thing and I have no idea what it has loaded as it does no...

Jimbo385

Found it here

http://www.ardupilot.co.uk/ardupilot-software.html

Jimbo385

I have looked in the zip file and 3DRRadio.exe is not present!

I can't find it anywhere!

Jimbo385

Many thanks

Jimbo385

@howardhb, Many thanks for your prompt reply. This is just the confirmation I was after. Just a couple of other questions though! With regards to my Telemetry set-up, I am already set to use a baud rate of 57600. Do I still need to run 3DRRadio.exe) and load the radio~hm_trp.ihx firmware? I mentione...

Jimbo385

Peeps, This is really good stuff. However, there is so much technical talk in this thread that for me it's difficult to understand what's going on and how to set-up! Current Set-up My board is the CRIUS AIOP bought here: m I have a Bluetooth and a 3DR connected and working well. I am currently runni...

Jimbo385

Can I use the buzzer that comes with the KK2.0 board?

Thanks

Jimbo385

Yes it is best if you do so. Start with a clean slate.

Jimbo385

There is a known issue with the 2.3 WinGUI R7.

R8 works perfectly!

Jimbo385

I didn't know about that! My quad hovers at around 60% not 50% but I don't think it matters!

Jimbo385

To start with, I've made sure that Acro, Horizon then Baro are tuned in. Otherwise you're fighting a loosing battle! So far, Acro & Horizon are dialled in and I'm happy with that. It's only today have I understood that Baro was all over the place and PIDs were way off. I am currently on the way ...

Jimbo385

That's basically it! However, tuning it is different to tuning other PIDs! It has taken me quite a while to get used to it. There is a guide here. m First I made sure that ACRO & Level were dialled in and working as I liked. I set a 2 pos switch to Pos1 ACRO Pos2 Horizon I then set a 3 pos switc...

Jimbo385

Hi,

I found that Pre7 did not work and was told to go back to 5. Since then, Pre8 has become available and thus works fine.

Jimbo385

Sorry but I thought that you'd reset (clear) the EEPROM before loading 2.3!

Jimbo385

I know that I posted this elsewhere! Way too many forums, that's my problem! Here are a couple of questions. Would it be possible to display a message or voice to state that calibration of Acc or Mag us completed? During calibration surely the board can tell if it has bee rotated 360 degrees ok Roll...

Jimbo385

I think that you need to go through a process of elimination as you need to ascertain if it's the board, ESC or motor that's at fault. Try swapping ESC's, motors and channels on the Flight Controller to ascertain which is at fault. The other thing you can do is to get yourself one of these Throttle ...

Jimbo385

I have been following this thread with great interest. First, well done and many thanks to all the Gurus out there that have spent a lot of time teaching us novices how it all works.

I do hope that this thread is still alive! Firstly I must say that this is a brilliant App! I do however have a couple of suggestions; 1.) When one has made a change to say on the PID screen, it would be handy to know (say via highlight) what you have changed. 2.) When connected on the master menu w...

I'm currently on version 3.71.127 of the app and really enjoying it. However not sure if it's because I'm Android 4.1 on a mobile phone but the app or BT crashes if whilst connected via BT and I disconnect the quad battery, the app won't re-connect to the quad when the new battery is connected. It u...

Jimbo385

That's good news.

Cheers

Jimbo385

Ok, I've had a look at this and I understand that for Pos Hold the maximum is 2.5. However the app states that the min = 0 and the max = 5. Also, the app allows an entry between 0 and 2.55. If you enter over 2.56, then when you re-read from the board the figure written is any number between 0 and Bo...

Jimbo385

Not able to confirm exactly but from memory, it's P.

If I enter a number greater than the maximum allowed, I would expect it to only write the maximum but it doesn't!

I will check it again later.
