Re: Disable onboard Mag to use ext Mag

Hi Guys, Finally found the answer by searching many forums. On my Crius AIOP V2 there are two jumper pads (SJ2 & SJ3) associated with the onboard mag chip. Cutting the links totally removes Mag IC from !2C bus. Cheers..B And were you then able to use an external MAG on the I2C bus? And which on...

Re: OK how do Multiwii PIDs really work?

scrat wrote:RC Rate is how copter is sensitive to stick movements. But in general means that 0.3 is light acro, 0.5 is medium acro, 0.7 to 1 is almost insane acro. Expo is the same like Expo at your Tx but it is better to use Expo in GUI and not in your Tx.



Why better to use expo in GUI?

OK how do Multiwii PIDs really work?

OK, I have a decent grasp on how the PID loops work in 'Acro' mode work. A recap, it uses the gyros, and PIDs to mainatain an angle set by the pilot, so that if it is 5° forward, it holds 5° forward until the pilot provides some stick input to bring it back to 0° or some other angle. 'Angle' and 'Ho...

Re: Using controller as data logger

Just an additional question for this. Can the Naze 32 do data logging onboard?

Re: How does Alt Hold really work?

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 swit...

How does Alt Hold really work?

Ok, was having issues getting Alt Hold to work , and have a quick question of how it is supposed to work. I read somewhere that once you have switched on Alt Hold that the throttle stick works more to control direction of height than motor control. SO... that if the throttle stick is centered the co...

Multiwii not responding to right stick input

OK, Playing with my quad in the snow (1/2") , yes bad, and now the FC will not respond to right stick input (mode 2). When I have the GUI open I do see that is is seeing input from the right stick, but it makes no difference in the motion of the copter. Yaw and throttle still work fine. Any ide...

Re: Pitch and roll reversed??

Are you sure the board is mounted in the correct direction? There's a arrow printed on the top pointing forward. Board is mounted with the arrow facing forward. One question I have is what is best to mount it with? Currently I have it hard mounted with nylon spacers and nylon screws. Should it be m...

In the above picture the copter is rolled to the LEFT, Horizon shows RIGHT. Or am I reading it wrong?

And the artificial horizon shows +pitch, copter is pitched nose down.

Pitch and roll reversed??

OK, this sounds weird. I have a Crius AOIP V2 with Multiwii 2.3 loaded on it. Having all sorts of issues just trying to lift off. Checked setting a little closer and I noticed that the pitch and roll indicators are reversed. See attached picture Reversed_roll_pitch.PNG This is a screen shot of the c...

Help, I think I fried my Crius AIO pro v.2

ok, Brand new Crius AIO Pro V2 During setup I powered it from the USB and the yellow +- pins, not at the same time. Once I got it set up a little I started to add the ESCs I made the mistake of having more than 1 ESC have the + pin installed. Everything seemed to work, but I did pull the other 3 + p...
