That's very cool, Mr-Fiero ! I'm going through the process of configuring UltimateLRS myself. What sketch are you using in Thingiverse for your bracket? Also you might be interested in Ghetto Station (I'm waiting for mine from the UK). With Guetto Station Proxy (a flashed Mini Micro that converts d...

@ Hoppsan_84 It is a Frsky th9x radio. I am using up to 12ch ppm. I have my radio set to 12ch in the menu. I have bought 1JR module to dedicate for TX, and 6 Futaba modules from HK as my RX. I have not had any issues so far. Its a very reliable link for me. Keep me posted with your results please. I...

Mr-Fiero

OK, I have been distracted for some time, got into building 3D printers... I have found a really nice way to use mavlink....and its VERY reliable via OpenLRS @ 19200 baud. I have never seen data so reliable via OpenLRS before! The only thing I have not tried, is to flash....LOL. First I bought some ...

Mr-Fiero

from cli, get the help screen, i cant remember off the top of my head but its something like gps_pass or pass_gps.

Mr-Fiero

90% of the time I find jumping is vibrations to the FC. 8% of the time, because baro not shielded from wind. other 2% misc. Baro MUST be shielded properly first before even reading more in this post about jumping.........open-cell foam only. if you can breath through it, your good. If it is hard to ...

Mr-Fiero

@ sn0west Your settings below have ANGLE only on L on 02. from your config, HORIZON,BARO,GPS HOLD are active on M so maybe ANGLE,BARO,MAG,GPS HOLD for PH, with switch at M would be better? OK, the more I stare at your setup, I see what you are doing, its just wierd because flight modes, its accross ...

Mr-Fiero

One more post for anyone who is interested, I found someone on the web discussing mag alignment, so I am going to post it here incase someone needs it... credit goes to cloidnerux You Look in the BaseflightGUI of cGiesen ( BaseflightGUI .) under real-time data, the values of the MAG The Z-value (t...

Mr-Fiero

I could try that if it continues to be an issue, but if the Nav tilt is in degrees (as in 30 degrees max), there's no way that I was tilted that far. I need to do some more testing and research. I found gps_maxangle to work for me when my wind was strong enough to push my unit in the wrong directio...

Mr-Fiero

Hey, there is a manual for FLIP32+ on the web now....I know some wont need it, but here is a link for anyone who does.

Mr-Fiero

@ sn0west If I could jump in here, I think you lost your lock for sure on the GPS. I think when you mention being in angle mode, maybe you want to set to also have ANGLE enabled while the PH, and also for your flight mode when not using GPS. I noticed in your config that it was not enabled in PH, so...

Wow, thanks for the tip... Very fast response (1 minute) and very good prices at $5.00 per / 20pcs for 1.5mm CF

Thanks!

Mr-Fiero

Hey everyone. I have been busy, but doing indoor activities now due to our really bad weather. I have built a test-stand for motors/props, with a load cell, vibration sensor, amperage sensor, and a logger. I am at the point that I am trying to squeak EVERY ounce of thrust for motor/prop combinations...

Mr-Fiero

I think now that I have mavlink all the way to my RCTX working, I might slip in a bluetooth inside the Hawkeye OpenLRS TX. it might work for two purposes. one, to have a wireless link for program changes (maybe even able to flash upgrade) and two, so I would always be able to log in via my android f...

Mr-Fiero

Mr_Fiero, I didn't have the nerve to modify my 9HX for telemetry ... so I can't help you there. I took the easy way out and bought the Taranis. Your inverter schematic looks OK. This might interest you : I just received a DTF UHF Deluxe JR Tx module with true 1 W Tx power : m, unlike the cheap HK s...

Mr-Fiero

Does it need to be Frsky Out? Why not use plain Mavlink? If you are not feeding into 9xd/x9d directly, Mavlink would offer a larger range of Software Clients... I was wondering that myself.....now I have to think about it more for pushing diff prot as I would rather not use Frsky if possible. I mig...

Mr-Fiero

Succes. I have FRSKY telemetry working on Flip32+. It requires an inverter (a logical NOT gate built with one low power NPN and 2 resistors). As I stated earlier Naze32 Rev 5 has it built in the FRSKY port. Now I have voltage, rssi, alt, hdg, gps coordinates etc. on my Taranis with audible alerts f...

Mr-Fiero

acc_lpfhz try at 10 if its set to 20....

both the acc_altlpfhz and acc_lpfhz would be of interest.

Mr-Fiero

Guys, I need some help regarding position hold. Using r97. Sometimes the quad skyrockets full throttle when in pos hold . sounds like intermittent vibration issues to me. maybe a bad bearing? playing with your acc sensors making it jump. i cant remember for sure, but its something like acc_lpf sett...

Mr-Fiero

I know this is off topic but..... I've had great success with setting gps type =4 and setting gps using u center. I asked if this could be an option for RTH baseflight for fixed wing and it was suggested I don't connect the Naze Gps tx to gps rx Lead. Would that work? Is there other messages that n...

Mr-Fiero

Hi Mr_Fiero, I have had good results for PH with r73 of Harakiri and bigger frames : 350-450. I'm also using your settings. I'm not getting it to work properly with smaller frames (250). I tried r79 and the latest release ... no good. Did you achieve PH with smaller frames ? Perhaps your settings a...

Mr-Fiero

I got bit by rc_killt I had my OpenLRSng failsafe set to stick centre Pich,roll,yaw and throttle at centre. but ARM was off because I am used to the fact if you try to disarm while in flight it wont. It is also easier to set OpenLRS failsafe this way as it does not have to be armed. BUT, I had it se...

Mr-Fiero

Gentlemen, do you have to enable anything in CLI to get BTmodule to get data from Flip32+ ?? The module is connecting to Android based phone running EZ GUI, but it gets no data. check baud rates on bluetooth. and there is also a serial data baud setting in harakiri. by default its set to 115200 so ...

Mr-Fiero

OK,,,,now I understand devorssi. Bamfax, I get what you are saying it was limited for functions. But, It has to be working because while its enabled my RSSI on my OSD is working perfectly. It must be recognized in the MinumOSD mavlink as before I have never had RSSI working. My RTL on RSSI functions...

Mr-Fiero

devorssi set to RTL works wonders. I was 2.4km out and hit my limit. It went into RTL but as soon as i repositioned the radio as I was in the middle of allot of trees, and had contact, it switched back.

Love it ! Thank you for that neat feature.

Mr-Fiero

Just reporting again for an incident already noticed in previous posts. Today I was flying the trusty junker. (it owes me nothing!) I flew a total of 7 times at 10 to 15 minutes each flight. It was a very windy day but I figured it would be good practice. Anyways, again, 3 out of 7 times, my altitud...

Mr-Fiero

@ Bamfax... Thanks for the link. I always like looking into more information. I have to stay with the 12" prop because any larger in my area is way too sluggish due to wind. 12" will be pushing it for size. I am also trying to stay within the 3S setup because if you look into efficiencies ...

Mr-Fiero

@ Bamfax Thanks for the thoughts about the copter batteries. I will indeed check those LG batteries out. I am worried about the drain rate on the panasonics. I will probably test with them, and if they dont survive its just part of the trial. You are bang on with your guesstimates! for everything. W...

Mr-Fiero

@ Spotter6 I dont have a taranis, but if its like the TH9XR dont you have to invert? I could be wrong, but I thought it needed a mod. Also. go into cli and do a dump in Harakiri. The telemetry can be set to different types. I have not yet done telemetry on my RC TX, so I am not the best person to of...

Mr-Fiero

@ dopplerguru

Thank You very much for the tip for the rc_killt setting! I am going to do that right away. I really appreciate the tip.

I am also happy to hear you have your GPS working well on your projects.

Mr-Fiero

Well, I am weight challenged now on the new Harakiri X600 project. Its sitting at 780grams without battery. Still not too bad considering its size but now its VERY hard to try to get it back down to the 700 mark. I am splitting hairs big time. The added weight from 700, was because I added everythin...

Mr-Fiero

@ leocopter Yea, about the Plasma CNC, it was built with %90 salvage parts. It can cut 48"x48". Not really for anything small, and even worse not for aluminium parts. The frame for the machine was built from salvage metal from Quad racks, when they ship the quads (from Honda). The motors a...

Mr-Fiero

Holy cow, My large 60Amp Plasma CNC cut me a lightweight vibration dampener for the lightweight multicopter project. It turned out not too bad, considering how light, and how small it is. I used 6061 aluminium to make it. I only had a 50Amp tip 1mm and could not find any smaller ones. I think I got ...

Mr-Fiero

Hey, I think I am going to order these ESC's due to VERY light weight, and heatshrink them for the lightweight Harakiri X600 Project. you just cant beat a 20Amp ESC that weighs only 4.3grams. m Any thoughts anyone? 20 amps X 12 V = 240 W ... and no heatsink ?? Yea, its weird for sure. The Afro slim...

Mr-Fiero

Perfect, good to know those motors are good! Thank you for that. Can I ask what the AUW on the 450 frame running that motor?

Mr-Fiero

Thanks leocopter....was looking for a good alternative for smaller ESC's and RcMart will be worth a try. Other good info too.... Since I am trying to shave weight off my lightweight copter, I even broke down and ordered the 20Amp slims from HK.. So far so good and it shaved 18 grams from each. My fi...

Mr-Fiero

I run all FLIP32+. I really like the boards! watch out on his pinout on the motors (previous version dont match and will short Vcc), but I always get rid of my ground and power up ESC cable anyways, and only run signal. Paul takes a while to ship, but once he does it moves fast in post. Its a high q...

Mr-Fiero

Here's a quick video of Naze32 with HaraKiri FW on a mid-sized F450. I did Gtune. The numbers didn't change much. Using $18 witespy GPS, didn't change anything in its config. Nice work..... You mean whitespy/Pauls pre-programmed GPS. they are pretty close when Paul programs the GPS's. Not bad for t...

Mr-Fiero

@ leocopter Man, those are really neat looking units you have.....It is really funny that you keep building. I have the same habit. Oh, would it be neat someday to fly in a swarm. LOL. I do the same as you, I conformal coat everything I have. I also grease all connections with DeOX-it to give an ext...

Mr-Fiero

@ spotter6 That is looking really good! nice PH in a slight breeze. I think its come a long way from before. @ leocopter Those are some really neat units that you have made. you said, "a few of my 3D printed copters". That indicates you may have more units. Thats funny. Nice looking units....

Mr-Fiero

Ah, thanks e_lm_70 I was just hunting for the multistars and could not find them.....especially twice the density. So if new ones are on their way, that should be interesting. I tried a servo gimbal on Harakiri and it was working very well. My other unit has brushless but I am not done with my gimba...

Mr-Fiero

@ bulesz
yea, whats that about not flying in the winter?.....LOL
Thanks for the link and combo. That is interesting for sure.

Mr-Fiero

@ e_lm_70 Thanks for all the thoughts. I like considering other options. I do not want bigger props. I have tried them and they are very sluggish and in my area I am wind challenged. so bigger props are not an option. your right about the smaller discharge rate on the panasonic battery, but 8 amps p...

Mr-Fiero

my next project for Harakiri involves my lightweight unit. I am trying to shave 100 more grams from it, and thats a challenge. right now its at 800g because it has flip32+, 35mm active on Neo6, MinumOSD, 100mw 1.2GHz Video TX, Sony 1/3 cam, OpenLRS, and is 600 in size with CF frame/props 920kv motor...

Mr-Fiero

@ Spotter6 Perfect! now you know that its possible. just get that GPS locked down so its stable, and things will be good for GPS functions on Harakiri. Smaller frame multicopters are harder to tune, so if your that tight, freakin awesome! From what I was seeing, I think this combination of HW+SW+FW...

Mr-Fiero

Which GUI do you use for see AUX5 ? Java MW GUI, show only up to AUX4 Ezio Android up .. does the same I think there is no CLI command for see the RC input data ...

Further testing of my RSSI RTL OpenLRS failsafe settings stays active and trips via RX (be sure to set openlrs failsafe values) devorssi trips RTL very nice. usually the case would be, if RSSI trips a low, which wont be quite 1000 PWM it will activate whatever via AUX5 (or AUX6) slightly earlier tha...
