Re: Cleanflight aka Multiwii port to STM32 F10x and F30x

Thanks stronnag! That is exactly the information I was looking for. That said, I now have another question. Obviously the answers you gave were available somewhere. I was not able to find it. Where did you get that information? Setting the 0 bit in the rate, is not intuitive. How did you determine t...

I can invert the yaw from the TX, but Gyro/Acc correction is still reversed. The GUI has known issues with the Servo tab, so it re...

Re: Not enough Yaw authority

That would indeed work....but.
This uses a direct drive yaw mechanism, thus, no linkage to adjust or modify.
The bottom line is, I need to increase the servo travel.

Yes. Doing so increased the rate of authority, but it does not increase the maximum yaw rate I can reach, which is my goal.

Not enough Yaw authority

I have a Tri I am flying on MW 2.3. It performs OK and is stable, but I just can't get as much Yaw rate as I would like. Even at full rudder input, it still yaws a lot slower than I would like. I know this is mostly caused by the travel limits of the yaw servo. I'm using this servo for yaw control m...

Increase Servo output to 750-2250

I know the normal range of servo output is set to 1020-2000. I have a servo that I have tested with an Arduino that can safely handle 750-2250.

Try moving the power and ground connection to the power and ground from the Battery connection on the receiver to the Throttle.

You may wan to try it without the Mag enabled.

You can also reverse servo direction via config.h. But to find it you must read the comments in config.h and maybe even follow the link to the wiki. Please, do not lead others to follow your path in editing code unneccessarily. It will only lead to more erraneous situations and irritated questions....
