MultiWii

your motors are not being controlled by the correct port of the multiwii OR your motors aren't spinning the expected direction.

Thank you for this thread. My octocopter had been suffering from terrible yaw control. Wind would be able to spin it around. Descending would make it turn direction all over the place. I tried hovering the octo over my head, then I'd grab it by the bottom to rotate it -- there was almost zero resist...

ugh. I have one last problem. Both ESC ports are functional now, and the sketch looks proper. In MultiWiiConfig the motors gain thrust as I'd expect (by dipping the octo around to see which motors turn on). I'm getting motor chatter on D3 and D8 of my octocopter sketch. Chatter is the motor turning ...

I found the issue!

The value of Tools > Board was incorrect. It claimed successful but nothing happened. Right out of the Adrino FAQ.

Thanks for the help guys. Now I feel silly. I didn't have this issue with my quad for whatever reason.

I just installed all drivers and downloaded all files from scratch on a new desktop. Tried flashing, same result. MultiWiiConf also says it's a quadX.

This is what my config.h shows: /************************** The type of multicopter ****************************/ //#define GIMBAL //#define BI //#define TRI //#define QUADP //#define QUADX //#define Y4 //#define Y6 //#define HEX6 //#define HEX6X //#define HEX6H // New Model #define OCTOX8 //#define...

No, that's exactly my problem.

See Edit 2 in my original post. I tried other quads and hex too. After I make the change, I compiled and uploaded. The MWC red light goes on, and then it restarts.

That's the only change. Once I couldn't get the motors spinning, I couldn't go any further.

I've been unable to get in touch with Paul for 3 days. He gets busy sometimes. I was hoping someone had an idea what else I could try.

I have been unable to get any help on this issue, so I thought I'd try my luck with my own thread since I am out of ideas and I can't find any help on google. I've got a Witespy Pro Ez3.0 (multiwii black (no MAG)) and I'm having an issue with my octocopter sketch.. When I first installed the mutliwi...
