hey can I add another possible feature request for the GUI? In the font editor, please consider adding a couple of more options, such as: - "clear" for clearing out an entire font image - "copy/paste" for copying one font image onto another - ability to manually edit the current ...

@PatrikE, I'm curious about what your long-term plans are for your FW MW fork? Do you plan to continue actively developing it and adding new features? Or, are you pretty much satisfied and plan to leave it mostly "as is"? If your goal is to keep adding new features, then would you mind sha...

asked this once before a long time ago but never got a definitive answer. Can someone please help me figure out a BoM/parts list in order to convert an acro naze into an afro (baro+mag)? Obviously, I'll need the HMC5883L and the MS5611, but how many & which types of capacitors (and resistors?) ...

@rubadub for sparklies... Have just tested a solution for this and it seems to work well. Sparklies removed. The downside - the screen will "only" approx 20 times a second.... as cinema films run at 24 frames a second I don't think anyone will notice the difference Will include in future ...

for rssi - in config.h there is a fastrssi option, but note that for many of the frsky issues, actually it because they are not sending an rssi pww signal....... to make it mor confusing is seemed to change after a certain software version.. So try frsky rssi for sparklies... I have just tried - an...

rubadub

should the PWM RSSI feature work with the PWM RSSI signal from an FrSKy RX? EDIT: nevermind, it seems that FrSky PWM is too fast to read, so the only option is an RC filter. Another question: Even after enabling the VSYNC interrupt option, I'm still getting a line of specks/"sparklies" alo...

GUI based OSD editor is in current version How? The only thing thwt I was able to do within the GUI was turn OSD items on and off, but I didn't see any way to move them around (wasn't obvious to me at least). What I'm referring to is a method for placing items in custom screen locations, similar to...

I have updated the Navcode to Pre 2.4 code. In this dev Waypoints, RTH & PosHold works. MultiWii_FW_PRE24_150211.zip I have added a new define that saves space that it actually is possible to run missions on a 328 FC. #define SLIM_WING The code is quite untested but should be safe to test. RTH ...

rubadub

feature request in case it hasn't already been requested:

-ability to move items around via the GUI would be great
-option to add pitch&roll angle values to screen (unless it's already there & I didn't see it)

thanks

Are there any long-range flyers in here?
just out of curiosity, what's the farthest that someone has gone out with Patrik's MW fixed-wing code???

rubadub

might be a dumb question, but I'm having issues with trimming my flying wing & need some help. When putting the plane into passthru, I'm finding that it moves around a lot (due to wind?) and wants to roll noticeably to the left. So, I added a bunch of right roll trim until the plane more or less...

rubadub

ok, thanks for the info Patrik. I didn't fully understand your explanation of the wind affecting the GPS speed, it somewhat confuses me, but I'll take your word for it I just assumed you'd want to use the GPS speed as an indication about whether or not the plane is actually moving forward, vs. possi...

rubadub

Thanks for all the help Patrik! I have another question: What would you think about having the cruising speed for RTH based on the GPS ground speed instead of having it depend on a hard-set, fixed throttle value? Do you see any advantages & disadvantages to such a setup? I was thinking that it m...

rubadub

So, they use TIMER5 as a multi-purpose 0.5us timer instead of micros()? How do they manage to do the two 50hz pwm's off the same timer? I'm not clear on that. But, I agree that it really wouldn't be worth the hassle (I don't personally need it). My understanding is that MW uses TIMER5 for the MEGA_H...

rubadub

ezio, thanks for fixing a bunch of stuff in the latest revision, seems to work much better now. Not really a feature request related to EZ-GUI, but is there any chance that support could be added to the MSP to support changing conf.psensornull and conf.pint2ma variables (powermeter null value & ...

rubadub

Yes it probably is. If i remember correct... if(diff > ABS(170)) diff =180; It's there to make a deadspan around +/-180 degrees diff. Otherwise the plane can have some left/right decisions before the turn. Like if you meet someone on the pavement.. (left or right side?) The plane can fly away sever...

rubadub

@PatrikE
It seems that GPS HOLD always seems to cause the plane to bank/turn right. Is this by design or pure coincidence? If this is intentional, is there a way to bias GPS HOLD to turn left instead of right?

rubadub

well, whatever name you'd like to place on it, but I'm referring to any version (whether it be yours or anyone else's) with the advanced navigation engine that cycles through the nav modes within the GPS processing routines in GPS.cpp, vs. the more simplistic mode processing routine in Multiwii.cpp....

rubadub

a few issues/questions: - why does the app need to always restart when making any changes to the settings? It's very frustrating and slow. Can this please be changed? - please fix the 'started' voice alert. It's still sounding when the app starts even with voice alerts disabled (Android 4.1.2 on a S...

My NAV code is integrated to the mainstream multiwii codebase, and apparently working flawless.. Instead of hacking with 2.3 codebase I recommend you to try the latest 2.4RC from the repository. Simply setting the target altitude in althold mode won't work since the althold code will react violentl...

rubadub

I have a quad that I'd like to setup with the "RTH minimum height" feature (i.e., have it do GPS HOLD & climb to RTH height before trying to initiate RTH). I realize that EOSBandi's GPS NAV version already has this feature. Unfortunately, I ran into some weird issues when using his cod...

rubadub

hey, I just wanted to say that I finally got this working correctly based on pluschi's recommendations and by using the code from the initial patch as an example. I've got the PPM code to read the ICR5 register instead of using micros(). I've also disabled the RC averaging routine. It's working pret...

rubadub

wtf? pluschi, you had published a response, but now it's gone... I don't understand why. anyway, finding examples on how to do ICP and PPM reads is pretty easy. Dennis Frie has published some good examples. So, just to clarify, is the lack of precision/accuracy in using micros() for RC processing th...

rubadub

umm, so, are people basically just talking to themselves on this thread at this point? No more feedback & support anymore? I haven't seen any feedback from the main developer(s), which makes me think that they've abandoned this MW fork. For whatever it's worth, for those that are interested in r...

ok, can I take a look at it? where is it published? Do you have a link please?

rubadub

did anyone ever make any progress on this given pluschi's feedback? So, basically, is this what needs to be done? - TIMER5 needs to be configured for 0.5us - PWM output for servos using TIMER5 needs to be disabled/prevented - the existing PPM routine needs to measure elapsed time using the value fro...

Is anyone else here using the GPS NAV version for simple RTH via switches on signal loss (*not* through the MW failsafe feature)? If so, have you ever run into a problem where RTH/autopilot gets stuck & can't be easily disabled? This happened to me twice today. I was practicing acro maneuvers wi...

It seems that the app just auto-updated again, but I'm still hearing the stupid 'started' voice alert even though I've disabled voice alerts. can this please be looked into? Also, again, I'm begging, please fix the multi-instance problem with the app. It seems like it keeps hogging up resources and ...

Has any work been done on trying to setup the mag calibration routine to use a method that employs a 'stop detect' instead of a fixed,30sec timer? i.e., something that allows the user to keep rotating & calibrating the MAG sensor until a pause/timeout is detected. This would be helpful to allow ...

rubadub

has anyone opened up a bug/issue report regarding the 'back button' behavior in android? It seems that clicking 'back' to exit from a screen (or the app) isn't consistent. clicking back to move between screens doesn't always work as expected, and switching between other app's and EZ-GUI (say, by cli...

need advice... what's the best way code-wise to adjust the code in order to initiate LAND during GPSHOME or GPSHOLD *if* there's no GPS fix and/or if GPS fix was lost when running either HOME or HOLD?

so then what's the proper way to do it?

Trims are available only for naze32 boards. I have to update it as MW2.4 supports it as well. ok, perhaps that's why I didn't see it. Is the button hidden upon connecting & detecting that it's running MW2.3? So, I'm assuming that is it currently not possible to adjust the trims via the MW proto...

You can solve it like you did. For next version i have made ACC atomatic with GPS modes. The ARM function is a MWii standard for motors. And is handled commonly after all mixers. To make a mode-based Armed can be messy. If it's powered up in PThru Arms.. Should it be disarmed if mode is switched la...

Does anyone see any possible problem with enabling ANGLE or HORIZON mode along with GPS_HOME mode within the MWC Plane code?

@PatrikE any plans to setup some kind of 'cruise' mode (such as what the APM has) where you can point the plane on a specific heading and it'll hold that heading? I'm assuming that mag hold mode doesn't work for planes, though I haven't checked the code myself to verify this. Any ideas on what would...
