MultiWii

so multiwiiconf compiles and runs but when i actually hook up the xbee and try to activate the port on the top left, it throws java errors about invalid parameters. it doesnt like 111111, but will run just fine if i replace with 115200.. what other voodoo did you do?

got it recompiled, will try to upload to hardware when i find some time.

for those not familiar with Process, within the sketch folder you've got to create a <sketch>/libraries/controlP5/library/ folder and rename controlP5.jar_ to controlP5.jar

doughboy, that's hard core indepth analysis of the transmission failure...!

yea, all comments i've seen that successfully used xbee have been with the Pro models.. nothing on the xbee 1s...

keep me updated, would love to hear if you're successful.

so has anyone actually gotten the xbee to work with multiwii or is it just hearsay and presumptions?

interestingly, i uploaded this code into the mini on the frame and the xbees send this stream over just fine, and i see it on laptop terminal. when i replace it with the multiwii code, nothing... #include <SoftwareSerial.h> SoftwareSerial xbee(0, 1); // RX, TX char c = 'A'; int pingPong = 1; void se...

ok, so not sure if it matters, but i've got the series 1 not the series 2 (m), so i'm not sure how to get the range test working on it - i tried physically shorting the rx and tx pins with a wire on the remote xbee but no results. i can hook up a transmitting arduino over one xbee, send a looping st...

ok, both xbees are set to 115200 before i plugged it into the Arduino mini tx on mini to Din on xbee rx on mini to Dout on xbee confirmed... i get the wireless light link, but GUI just sits there so i plugged the wired FTDI cable in and looks like there's lots of vibration noise on the sensors... al...

Hi guys, been putting together a multiwii now for over a year finally got it semi-working though it flips over whenever i start increasing throttle, so i wanted to put an Xbee on it to watch the telemetry over the GUI. i have tested it and have the two connect wireless and transmitting serial data f...

turns out i also needed to uncomment INTERNAL_I2C_PULLUPS.. go figure. hope this helps someone else out in the future

Hi guys, picking up my quadcopter after being busy for the past year or so.. glad to see the multiwii code still being worked on but.. can get the v1.8.2 working on my Red Paris Classic v2 shield... but looks like 1.9 and up doesnt support my little guy anymore! is there a config tweak i need to mak...

common ground was the problem! fixed, time to mount the ESCs and motors.. can't wait to see this thing fly!

thanks for all the help!

i'll try to use the same common ground.. guess i was asking for trouble on that one. but it's so easy to power the promini from the usb programmer, and the rx separately! no good deed goes unpunished i guess. i havent even involved any ESC's BEC yet, but i've seen all the posts warning me to use onl...

hmm i thought about that, but definitely checked and reselected acro mode... the little picture is definitely an airplane. i'l try glider mode too now.

unless there's somewhere else for 'mixing' modes?

Hi guys, this is my first quad build so i'm struggling with the details. the short story is i'm using the multiwiicopter 1.7 platform and the GUI is showing when i push up the throttle, both throttle and pitch jump up (or yaw or roll depending on which pin i swap). here's the setup so far: arduino p...
