MultiWii

Just checked the FTDI red and green light flash when connected to the GUI. dOH!
When you connect does the correct type show up. IE quad X?
I have the Paris V3 board so don't know if there is a diff.

Hi I think if you were able to upload the sketch to the board then the FTDI seems to be working. I would check for the usual Com ports, baud rate settings for the arduino side. Then check the multiwii GUI com ports etc is correct. Are you getting any info from the Board showing up in the GUI apart f...

Thanks from Australia too, EOS. Great work.

I was thinking it could double up as a weed trimmer
Have heard it eliminates the frame from the downwash.
Would you need to turn your props upside down on the motors?

Looks like there is a problem with the sixth wire/connector which is DTR signal, it resets the processor to start the bootloader. That's exactly what you do manually but the timing is critical. Check you wiring/pin/socket/etc., cannot give more specific advice since I don't know which FTDI adapter ...

i had a very similar problem, turned out that i had destroyed one of the chips in my arduino related to USB loading. you could see several micro wires on the chip right behind the usb port of my Duemilanove got hot and seperated. i do believe it held its last config and works fine, i just bought a ...

Don't know what went wrong here but I used phone as a camera.
WiFI, GPS, BT etc turned off to be safe..
Seemed to loose control and had a near miss with the planet.
Caught it just in time and landed.

Hi all. First off I am new to this and am having a great time building and then crashing my Quad. Having some trouble when uploading software to the board. Arduino compiles fine, then when I upload it comes back with a sync error. No TX or RX lights on the FTDI, just three quick red flashes. Happens...

Great work!!
Looking forward to testing this. My Paris Board is the only part still working after my latest crash/test flight.
