Hi all,

Is the Naze32 compatible with the new DJI FPV system? I'd love to see Timecop do an unboxing.

strepto

I think the world has moved past multiwii now...

strepto

You sure did guys, thanks

strepto

So How much does Dominic pay you? its crazy, timecop does all the work and develops baseflight mainly by himself and Dominic Clifton comes along adds some pretty little led's,renames a few functions and calls it cleanflight <snips long and hard to read rant> I just hope he doesn't give up because i...

strepto

Baseflight is completely obsolete. Anyone who's flown both will tell you there's no comparison. Go trim your beards!

strepto

Pretty sure you can't map PPM to another pin.

Search this thread, I seem to remember someone asking the same thing...

Could be talking out my arse of course!

strepto

Belive me, a good code is a code that works and is easy to debug and add new features. Ah, actually, there is quite a lot more to "good code" than that. Dominic has the right idea. As for the flame war, there is a lot of history there. Unfortunately the abrasive attitude from a few people...

strepto

Yes you can, using the cli. The solution is in this thread somewhere - just search about and you'll find it

strepto

Flash wear? Really? Ummm, ok. The baseflight behaviour means you can just click out of the tab when you're done with the cli. No need to type save or exit or anything. That's what I'm referring to. It autosaves, reboots, and exits the cli tab and reconnects to the board automatically. If you bugger ...

strepto

Question for the gallery: Why did the behaviour of the CLI change, so that now you have to type "save"? I was delighted when I found out the BF configurator did this automatically, and reconnected automatically, just by clicking another tab. Now I have to type save, wait for the board to r...

strepto

Haha, I never accused anyone of whining. I said whinging - it's completely different! (and I'd know, being an expert on the latter especially)

Ability to dump via cli from old firmware would solve the issue nicely anyway.

strepto

Perhaps rather than whinging, someone should log a feature request for the configurator: "ability to preserve and restore, or at least dump previous board settings prior to flashing new firmware"? Me, I appreciate all the hard work that's going into this. Once GPS support is solid, Cleanfl...

strepto

Erm, apologies if this is already covered (I scan forums quickly) but surely it might just be a driver problem? Try reinstalling software drivers and/or using another computer if you can.

There are some important bug fixes compared to baseflight but the experience is otherwise the same.
Harakiri GPS code is being looked at and understood and then it will be ported.

F4 targets are on the radar, but not yet. I accept pull requests

Thanks mate

strepto

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I haven't noticed it. I was just wondering what the state of the current GPS code in Cleanflight is. Someone I spoke to thought it had incorporated the Harakiri GPS code but I haven't seen mention of that anywhere. Is it using the original baseblight GPS c...

JamieFL, Probably a regulator (can't be arsed to look at my own naze, but it's got 3 lens and looks like it's in a likely position for a regulator) you have blown the crap out of. Even if you had the ability remove and solder the replacement one in place, there's every chance something else is fuck...

I would go one further and say never trust it. It's very hit and miss and there are many variables; mag interference, quality of GPS, etc...

strepto

Have used GPS in baseflight and cleanflight on naze32 and they are both worse than useless. Cause random very fast loss of control - almost guaranteed to crash. After a few such crashes, I tried harakiri newest version, and it works excellent with GPS hold and rth. With newest harakiri firmware I h...

strepto

Ouch! Nasty. Yes... I wouldn't trust the baseflight GPS code any further than I could throw my quad... m I would love to see improvement. IMO it's one of the things that is holding back this board in a big way. I know TC doesn't care about it, but the reality is, some people want the safety net for ...

strepto

DeathX - apologies if this was already suggested but check that your RC values in the configurator. If they aren't 1500 with sticks neutral you will get drift. Use subtrim on the tx to centre everything at 1500.

strepto

seems like my question got ignored or missed or indeed noone knows ? anyone has an idea what could be the cause of a non working VBAT connector on the board the board is new all works but the VBAT feature reading 0 volt at all time .. Feature VBAT is enabled and connected so I am afraid something o...

strepto

Hmm, after a bit more poking around, I'm guessing I can answer my own question here with "it isn't possible" right now, not with a hex. Quad, yes, hex no. Unless I lose the servo_tilt outputs. I get the feeling this is irrespective of GPS too. Feel free to prove me wrong of course! Nate - ...

strepto

Hey guys, I like overcomplicating my life it seems. Have a question about the hardware that I can't seem to find an answer to here or in the source (admittedly I haven't poked about much). Anyway I was hoping someone might shed some light. I'm running a hexa-+ config (full Naze), so need 6 pwm motor...

Did a Spektrum DSMX satellite rx install on my tricopter today and have to say it went well. It looks much better with a little circuit board on the nose than it did with a big orange rx Had to tweak the throttle endpoints in the TX to get it to arm but once I figured out that it was the cause of t...

Because they are a) really cheap and b) fly really, REALLY nicely.

I have used GPS for FPV failsafe both successfully (as a test) and spectacularly unsuccessfully (as a test and also as a not-a-test) .

Yep... we're on our own for GPS help. With that said, RTH (no climb) and PH work to some degree, many reports that folks have it working. At the very least, it can help you regain line of sight flight. Use "feature GPS" in the CLI to show the available switch settings in the Aux tab of Ba...

I have set failsafe with my Rx when out of signal Rx switch to RTH - But I always have BARO, MAG, ACC and GPS Home switched on together. But once I did try without ACC and quad did not do "rapidly return to the ground". Hmm. Good to know, I guess! I suppose the moral of the story is, chec...

strepto

They aren't "supported" as TC isn't interested in GPS. However, they do work, after a fashion. You will need to do some tuning and don't expect the GPS hold to be super locked in. And, most importantly, as I have found out the hard way, if you bind return to home as a failsafe, make sure y...

strepto

Yeah that doesn't sound too far-fetched at all - you're running on near full throttle for most of that flight by the sound of things - and those sunnyskies can suck some serious amps!

Flips and rolls then peak out your current draw further...

i added max_angle_inclination or something, its in deci-degrees, so 500 = 50", range from 100 to 900 (10..90deg). Carefully try it out, completely untested. Tried it out today set to 900. Seems to work ok - had a weird thing happen the first time I pointed it straight down/forward - it did a f...

Cool, I'll give it a bash when I get a chance. Thanks again!

strepto

Thanks TC. A couple of cli variables would be great, if you or someone else gets a chance.

Hi all, Just spent some time wrestling with the spektrum rx. I realise people here probably already know all this, but I thought I might post the info in one place for the next hapless soul to refer to, because I couldn't find it all in one spot and it was a PITA to get to the bottom of it.

Yeah. I know. I was feeling kinda bad over the fun everyone was poking earlier but now I suspect we are just in the presence of a master troll. Because nobody could be *that* silly, right?

Ah ok. No worries.

strepto

Ok, ta. Why of course though? I don't mean something silly like hooking them both up to ch4. I was just wondering if it is possible to map the spektrum input to say channel 1 or something. The STM 128k supports 3 USARTs doesn't it? Is it just the code that won't support it or a hardware thing too th...

Now i'm searching where to plug this spek-sat in ... RC_CH4 or PA3 in STM32 port names.

The baseflight gui thing is a chrome web store app - it'll only run on a computer at the moment.

strepto

I have the Aussie Spiritfly version - the software is MultiWiiGui but it looks a lot like baseflight to me.

http://madetofly.com.au/files/WinGUI_2.2.zip

The bluetooth should appear as a serial port to your computer once you connect and pair it. From there just use the software as if you were hooked in via USB.

strepto

Yeah I'm kinda glad you agree. I'm sure I've changed around ESCs on powered up controllers before and not fried them. Maybe I misaligned the pins, although that seems unlikely as it was in its box at the time, and I find it hard to believe that I'd somehow manage to plug one in backwards when I was ...

strepto

Oh well, no beans. Same symptoms. Vcc after the reg is something like 2.8v so I guess I killed it (or something) else good and proper. (Vsen is 3.3).

Thanks for the help anyway, I appreciate it

strepto

Okie doke. Might give it a try. Nothing to lose really

strepto

Ok, thanks again for the help. The diode seems to be toast - open circuit in both lines (1-3, 2-3). Stupid Q #1: If I short pins 1-3, will that let me run from battery/esc power, but not USB?
