I decided to scrap the orange Rx - I managed to find an old TFR4 which to my surprise boasts CPPM! So I've re wired the layercake, and now I have all channels responding as expected.
Now to actually make the buzzy little bastard flight worthy.

Re: Helicopter integration
I've soldered everything together, and to my delight all LEDs lit up nicely on the first try. ESCs, FC, sensor, Rx and battery wire together come to ~12g. A little heavy, but not too bad, and definitely flyable. I've uploaded MultiWii, now I'm just having noobish issues with sensor orientation... I'...

Re: MultiWii OSD - MWOSD
Ok, sorry about this but reeeeaaaaally stupid question time. Is it possible to integrate a simplified MultiWii FC onto the MinimOSD hardware, while maintaining some OSD functionality? I'm thinking just a GY-85 sensor board, and a PPM rx, wired directly to pins on the Atmel 328p chip. OSD would consi...

Re: Helicopter integration
I looked at the wiring last night, seems simple enough - I'm going off Patrik's blog post so; D12 = Nickservo D11 = Left D10 = Right D9 = Main motor D3 = Yaw motor (with corresponding change in config.h) Am I right in thinking CPPM goes in on D2? (Along with the appropriate config.h modification) Th...

Re: Helicopter integration
Ah, so someone's already done it Mine will consist of a Pro Micro, Orange Rx like this one m with CPPM, and a GY-85. All pins have been removed, I'll just be using magnet wire of some sort for connections. Including the ESCs (which were put together and flashed a while ago now, but still have flashi...

Re: Helicopter integration
Has anyone tried this with a small CP heli, like an MCP-X? I have a brushless main & tail MCP-X that I'm going to *try* and get working using an Orange RX (stripped of excess metal/case), Pro Mini and a GY-85... I've got some testing and fiddly soldering to do before I get anywhere, but I'll try...
