Hi, I'm having trouble finding optimum settings / Arduino code for my Hex Spider. I'm using a Drotec 6DOF, a separate Baro, with a Divide FC with a Promini V1.9 was sort of ok ,but as I moved to V2 , I started having problems.. early releases didn't work at all, but the latest version I'm using ( ab...

Hi,
the Rx is a spektrum 6100.

I don't believe there is any issue with the motor pin output as it has flown perfectly on 1.9 the only thing changed was the latest s/w dev used..


The processor is a pro mini with A0 and A1 activated in the sketch.

Cheers,

Shaun

Hi I have just loaded Dev20120504 sw onto my Hex X I have a Drotek V1 6DOF ( ITG3200 + BMA180) with a seperate Baro on. This is mounted on a Divide V1 board . The problem is as follows... In Standard mode ( no ACC or Baro), the copter flys as expected. With Gyro and ACC it flies fine EXCEPT when mov...

Hi, I tried an ealier version of V2 software on my hex spider and it wasn't very happy at all , unflyable. Has the latest release sorted this yet as I don't want to reflash it and then have to take it back again if there is still some unresolved issues. I'm currently on 1.9 on my hex spider... Other...

Fax8.. you are a star !! many thanks ....problem sorted..
I'm assuming this is an error in the latest software release?

Regards,

Shaun

Thanks fax8.. I'll try that later today and post back...

@fax8 thanks... I used the 6050 generic sensor set up as below. /*************************** independent sensors ********************************/ //leave it commented if you already checked a specific board above /* I2C gyroscope */ //#define ITG3200 //#define L3G4200D #define MPU6050 //combo + ACC...

Hi, I have upgraded the s/w on my promini as above. I now have a strange problem, With no ACC the copter appears fine, switch in the ACC and it has what appears to be a reversed effect .i.e hold the copter in hand, start to rotate it in roll and instead of levelling it it tries to increase the rate ...

Looks like some frames somehow have problems with some kind of resonance/vibrations.. that's usually fixed by using a DLPF introduced in the MPU6050 thanks to the code in this page. Thanks again .. I'll try changing the DLPF settings and post my findings here... The props are well balanced and ther...

Hi Chris, I've got some carbon props from Paul at Flyduino.. I'll try them.... That makes sense.. I have increased the power on this quad by approx 150 Watts . It didn't do it before and that was the only change.. The connectors are high quility, I'm 101% certain there is no problem there.. I'll try...

Thanks..... any ideas why it keeps flipping ????

HiI, is there a current version of a sketch downloadable that includes all the bug fixes? Also I'm experiencing some wierd behaivour.. The quad flies great but when pitched and rolled aggressively it will suddenly flip.. Very much like when you have auto levelling switched on in wind... It is though...

Hi, I have a Flyduino Quad, with a Flyduino FC board and a 10DOF Drotek sensor bob ( ITG GYRO).. Motors are KEDA 20-26M props gaui 8x4. V2 software. Flies perfect, normally, no juddering on fast descent etc no pitching up, but at high speed, forward flight ( i.e. the quad is at 45 degrees) at near f...

Thanks Arne... that looks like it...

Stupid question time ....Will I have to load 1.8patch 2 software on to impliment this ? Then I can revert to 1.9

Regards,

Shaun

Hi, can anybody help please? I have had to replace 2 of the esc's on my Flydumini . There used to be software available for syncing all the esc's up once installed on the frame. The link was on Pauls site ( Flyduino) but althought the link is still there , the software has been removed. Any help app...

I've burned 3 ESC turnigy plush like this way. When i've connected the main power i've produced allot of white smoke. Never and i am very serious with this connect in parallel the +5V of the 2 or more ESC. If you really want to do this, put some diodes that will match the current flow so you can st...

The supersimple esc's are normally supplied with black heatshrink and an orange / blue label. The pentiums are supplied in red heatshrink for the turnigy version or yellow for the hobbywing version. I have recently had 10a hobbywing esc's supplied in clear heatshrink with a black label. As previousl...

Hi Alex, thanks for the reply and info .... I'll try your suggestions.. I know in future I'll only use pentium esc's . The Tri is well over 1 year old It was my first multi wii project. I used super simple esc's because the Pentiums I normally use were out of stock... I want to use the Tri for FVP a...

Hi, I usually only fly my copters with the wmp and not the auto levelling activated. I only use auto levelling if I get disoriented when flying aeros around the field . The auto levelling was not switched in when the Tricopter flipped on 1.8. It would be great if Alex could sort this ...... I believ...

Hi, my tricopter has flown perfectly with 1.7 using super simple since it came out, when I put 1.8 on the fun and games started. My quads all use Turnigy Pentium esc's. They are on 1.8 and 1.8 patch 2 software and they fly perfectly... 100's of flights to date. I'm assuming there must be some issue ...

So, would it be safe to assume that super simple esc's and 1.8 have a problem.
Has anybody tried supersimple esc's with 1.8 patch 2 yet?

Shaun

Hi Cardboard, As my hardware works fine on 1.7, I can only assume, that changes in the software are causing the problems in my case. I have set the ESC type up correctly in the software. I would like to get it sorted as I want to start using the Baro which I understand is better in 1.8. As I fly ind...

Hi, If you're reading this Alex can you help please. Or anybody else who has had and solved this... Been flying my Tri for ages on 1.7 (since it came out), no problems other than the bouncy baro issue. Brilliant to fly...... Upgraded to 1.8 and after a short time ( less than 60 seconds ) one motor w...

HI, I'm about to build a X - Hex using Alexs new code for the UNO. Is there any reason why all 6 motors have to be equidistant and the booms at 60 degrees? I'm wanting to maKe a X configured hex with the front 2 motors well spaced , the side motors close in and the rear booms longer, to help with or...
