MultiWii

Kataventos,

That is One. Sexy. Tri.

Very nice design, awesome build quality! I like the dual batteries, and the overall look.

How well is is balanced?

The best way to run this is not via serial/UART, so remove any LCD_SERIAL settings - the best way of running this device is going off the I2C bus. Therefore, ensure your "COMM Setup Jump" solder pad is "Right Shorted" to ensure your're using I2C mode: http://www.digole.com/images...

With seconds being an uint16_t, shouldn't give us a max value of 32,768 seconds (~546 minutes) before roll-over?

Perhaps I'm missing something in my noobishness.

Either/Or, doesn't really matter - it goes a long time!

Thanks for your consideration!

(edit: unit16 = 16 bits, doh!)

Just as a follow-up: I realized later that all the voltage levels for nominal, warn1, warn2, and crit are set up for a 4S LiPo as a default, and I'm running 3S, so I should scale those down, but since my VBAT is reading 1.6-1.5v, that's hardly the real issue for the moment. Any ideas why my voltage ...

Hey guys. Total noob here. I'm slowly getting this thing working, but I'm not ready to fly yet. I'm having the darnest time getting my voltage/current sensor working. I am running stock MultiWii 2.2 code (I tried 2.3 and things... didn't go well). I've read other posts, but frankly, it's gibberish t...

Bummer...

Well... I'll play with it a bit anyway.

Maybe I could piggy-back a small (Micro/Nano/Lilypad) Arduino just to control it, and then com it to my flight controller...

This is a special-use modification that I don't expect to see in the main branch, but this change was useful to me, and I thought I'd share it. I'm not an uber-coder, this is my first, simple tweak. My use case is that I was doing "burn-in" testing of the board with all components attached...

WOOOOOOOT!

Thanks again Linuxslate, for encouraging me to "just try it". Turns out, the 433 MHz link was just set to 57.6 kbaud instead of 115.2 kbaud. Once I used *ahem* Mission Planner's 3DR configuration feature to reset the baud rate, I was good to go!

Thanks for these great comments, Linuxslate! I'll have to fiddle with the 433 MHz HF Link and see what's up with that. The BT option was tempting, but I do iPhone instead of Android, and I was worried about the range - I'm in a heavily wooded area, and eventually wanted some sort of laptop-setup for...

Hey folks, I've started! Many boxes filled with tiny electronics from exotic and far-flung places like Shenzhen, Texas, and California have found their way to my home. I've been busy with soldering iron and electrical tape assembling these items into something I hope someday will fly. I have made a ...

So just to expand on the purpose for this - it could be for cool looks, ease of orientation, indication of flight modes, etc.

Think of it as a PilotLamp++

Hi folks! I'm a complete newbie to multi-rotor and microcontrollers, but have a history with TTL in general. I'm in the process of making my first quad (DJI Flame Wheel F450 + Crius AOIP v2 + accessories), and have come to the part where I want to make it blinky-blinky funtime. I've Googled and Bing...
