@Implicit; could it be your bootloader is corrupt? When using STM Flash loader you'll have to short the sbl pins. See my thread over at OP forum for flashing CF via STM. Just use the latest binaries and connect via USB instead of the cc3d mainport in that procedure. Be advised; timing is crucial for...

Thanks for testing 41south! Hopefully Hydra and other devs follow the thread

Can you log an issue in Github? Just to be sure mention the configurator in the case too.

Hi, there's an unofficial Jenkins server @ http://ci.esav.dy.fi/job/Cleanflight/.
Maybe you can find a version that works for older revision board there, please report if you have.

@brm; here's the procedure to get cleanflight on your CC3D: http://forums.openpilot.org/topic/43569-baseflightcleanflight-ported-to-cc3d/page-8#entry360867 .

To break into the IDE discussion, I'd like to go a little further on an improvement already proposed by Alex. As I fly 2 units with a gimbal and change them out depending on the need, in addition to the servo changes for Bi/TRI servos I would really appreciate a feature where I can change GIMBAL ser...

Strange thing is (strange pixelation also happens with different I2C speed BTW!) that it does work fine when OLED is connected after FC has fully booted. Also tried this on my Flyduino MEGA and sure enough, same shizzle, different board So that leads me to suspect some kind of I2C initialization err...

shufflez

You mean the speed/frequency at which sensors are polled?
Kept it standard for now, will try tomorrow and report back.

shufflez

Guys, maybe to centralize all questions regarding the I2C OLED (Crius or others) we can post here. Let me start; My OLED has the strange behaviour of only showing random pixels when connected during boot/power-on. It does show the 'heartbeat'/pulse when the logo should be showing, but it doesn't sho...

shufflez

Thanks for your replies Hamburger!
At least Xbee works!

Don't want to hijack this thread, but OLED still has weird behaviour, so I'll open another thread for that

shufflez

My Xbee is now working properly on serial3 after fidling with the configuration via X-CTU a little bit more.
Have also activated LCD_TELEMETRY, not sure if this is necessary for Xbee (but would be necessary for my LCD

)

shufflez

Ok, so I got the Xbee's working on SER3 now with latest Dev version. OLED display only shows 'snow' when it's connected during power-on. When I plug in the I2C connection afterwards, it shows the bootlogo and MWC version nicely. No telemetry displayed though, although I do believe I have the right D...

I would like to know too

Running the Crius Extend Board, Xbee is on serial3.

shufflez

Hi all, Can I use Xbee on Serial3? My Crius Extend Board has Serial1-3 (Serial1 has no break-out ). I don't have a need to reprogram via Xbee, only need reading telemetry. Wired connections on 115200 (either via onboard USB or FTDI) work flawlessly. Thanks for the assistance, again and as always! P....

My ESC's don't do anything with this procedure, just go through start-up. Have lowered MINCOMMAND to 900 as per some suggestions, to no avail. Any suggestions? I've tried this on my testing platform (with and without modded ESC's), but I'll be flashing my octo's ESC's soon, so I'd like this to work!...

shufflez

Taka; I think that might be just what Fr3d meant, as some USB TTL converters don't play nice on higher baudrates with some devices. Or at least that's my experience with them. Brettwal: can you maybe post a screenshot or detailed error message regarding the GPS sync failure? Have you tried the other...

Hi Felix, I'm using MultiWii_dev_20120622 on my octo, with the following options (concerning gimbal): #define HWPWM6 #define SERVO_RFR_300HZ Using 50Hz or 160Hz, i still get jitter, only slightly slower (which might be 'placebo'). FYI: Hardware is Flyduino Mega, Spectrum satellite, Corona Digital MG...

Good to hear maestro, will be eagerly awaiting the new release!
If you need any beta-testers running the (b)leading edge Multiwii versions, please let me know!

Hi Katana, Good to hear your gimbal-servo jitter is gone! Mine is still there, doesn't matter which setting I choose! Have switched to Digital Metal Gear servo's, only got worse (because these are so fast, they respond to every input!). Could it be my octo has taken all PWM outputs for the motor, so...

Hi guys, After awaiting patiently for support of the new serialprotocol for Rushduino OSD, i'm getting a little anxious now. Another release candidate (stable version!) has been announced (MWC 2.1) and the progress I've seen on your google code is only for I2C GPS Can you please let us know when we ...

shufflez

Hi Rollinolin, First off; I'd advice to get a simple FTDI, as they don't cost that much and greatly help with all kinds of multirotor stuff. AFAIK, there isn't (yet) a possibility within MultiWii to program sensors (or ESC's for that matter) via the FC board. Secondly; I would suggest using a BoB, l...

shufflez

@LuFa; What exactly is broken? Can't you flash another firmware version on it? What's the flash-software's error? Don't exactly know if you can use this firmware for MediaTek's own board. The F-Tech module I'm using is just using a MT3329 single chip, so it might just work. My guess is that firmware...

shufflez

Do you have a buzzer on FC board? Maybe the magnet in that causes issues?
I assume you've checked all the solder points? Does anything change with FC connected or not?
Does the board actually get enough voltage (either via serial or directly from BEC)?

Just guessing, but hoping to help out!

shufflez

On the topic of the new Serial protocol, Bledi teased us/me with upcoming (test) version to support this. Any news on that? I had too many issues with MWC v2.0, so I have updated my octo to the last dev version, which works like a charm! But now I can't use the OSD of course Not that I'll be needing...

shufflez

Hi katana, great to see another octo-builder! Maybe I'll PM you some experience-info, if that is OK? Regarding the issue with video noise, what happens if you remove the GND contact on the VOLTAGE-TX and VOLTAGE-CAM? Do you have ferite-filters and twisted/braided cables? I have a somewhat similar se...

You're welcome guys! Glad to be of some service once after long periods of 'leeching' information here

shufflez

Security, safety... Similar but different I understand the security measure, I'd hate my copter to go full throttle just about anywhere. Depending on how fast the MWC code loads after poweron/reset I think the solution for your code to set end-points is a delay before writing writeAllMotors HIGH. Do...

Hi guys, After spending a frustrating (with amazing F1 in background) afternoon getting GPS to work and updated, I thought it might be handy for anyone that I'd write up a little how-to.

shufflez

Didn't seem to work for my octo set-up, not all ESC's got same throttle signal in time. Strange enough. I've tried fiddling around with the time delay within the code, but couldn't get the timing correct. Maybe there should be a delay added before the procedure starts, I don't know how long ESC's wa...

Hi guys, I'm building my octo and got the FreeIMU v0.4.3 from Fabio Varesano. Initially it works great, just like the other versions. But with MW2.0 I can't get the magnetometer to work. Is that because I will be using GPS (so uncommented GPS code)? FreeIMU is using HMC5883L, so that should be imple...

shufflez

Thanks Bledi and Johny! You guys rock, I always encourage (b)leeding edge products from guys with a passion for what they're doing. Would implementation of this new serial protocol mean that we can also use TX/RX3 port? Would be great to have Bluetooth on RX0/FTDI, Spektrum PPM on RX1, GPS on RX2 an...

Hi Bledi, I've found solution on connecting the power and serial port, that is working. Except for some issues with magnetometer, but that's a Flyduino/Multiwii issue. Other issue I have is: as soon as I plug-in my BAT1, I only get camera signal on my goggles. Otherwise (no power to cam) i get the O...

Problem is, when I connect 5V power to my Flyduino board, it doesn't give power on the FTDI port! And when I power the Rushduino (on 5V or PWR), it turns off as soon as I connect the serial cable (no power on Flyduino!) I'm feeling quite stupid right now...

Hi Rushduino maestro's, Quick question, I've wired everything up, reverted back to MW2.0 stable release, did Blendi's Serial.ino modifications and when I connect 5V BEC to PWR or 5V+ input the board powers up (as does my Flyduino, via the serial-port).

I'm sorry, but in my serial.ino (dev20120414) there isn't any case 'O' anymore.
Little bit more help please?

EDIT: Has been removed with r670 of serial.pde.

shufflez

From what I gather on the MikroKopter forums is that the FC actually decodes the signal on AUX3 to separate channels. Which of course would be great, as only 5 connections from RX are necessary, for 12 channels! Or even just the satellite Not too good at coding myself, but hopefully I'll find the ti...

Level is a lot better! But still the annoying flicks... What are your PID settings? Will LEVEL_LOCK work on 1.8p2 BTW?

Last flick caused me to burn out an ESC (or so it seems, motor spins up, but stops under load).

Your video looks amazing!! Great stuff Shikra!

Hi Skikra, I've just tested your latest LEVEL_LOCK code, and whilst it levels perfectly, i still experience drift in direction of last user input. Having flown an entire battery with LVL switched on (only with ACC calibrated, not trimmed), I find that even on stick jabs it'll level quite nicely and ...
