Re: Naze32 Mini-Quad suddenly falls out of the sky
Hi!
Sounds like a brownout.
You may try to add an capacitor to the 5V pins where you also connect + and - of the BEC to your board.
What kind of BEC do you use?

Hi!
As far as i know, until now this is only possible via bluetooth. I think it is handled by MSP (Multiwii Serial Protocol) messages. Maybe it would be possible if you set your additional channels to activate specific msp commands. But i am only guessing.

Wich mode are you using?
You need to test it in acromode. Trim acromode on your transmitter trims, not via stickcommands.
Once acro is stable, take the next step to levelmode.
