MultiWii

still flying mw2.3, has anyone installed multiwiiconf on to a linux machine, or maybe a raspberry pi 3 I use multiwii conf on Debian GNU Linux. Raspian is based on debian so i bet it would run just fine. Just make sure version on board is same as version on computer. Also might just log in as root ...

I fly multiwii everyday. Love it. Cheap reliable fast from my experience with quadcopter. By default slapped onto a frame, it flys better than apm cc3d and pixhawk out the box. GUI works in debian linux (something that has prevented me from using cc3d boards hardly at all). Just bought two boards th...

Seems to just go back to 1000 even after i press write. What i'm doing - set min throttle in GUI, click write, click read and it is goes back to 1000.

Debian linux, i am root. I can change other things in gui.

Excellent, solution i was looking for. If anyone else's aircraft is wobbling all over the damn place. Start with that, decrease P on pitch and roll until it goes away.

Turnigy Micro-X Quad-Copter DSM2 Compatible with FTDI Tool MWC (Multi-WII) (B&F) Comes with everything in the box, batteries, quad, complete bird. Just need a tx. After building this little guy i found out i do not have a dsm2 transmitter. make an offer! paypal or trade for cool stuff (gold or s...

post a wiring diagram.
i'm interested in how it is.
i agree i don't have props spinning unless i'm flying.
Waste of battery plus noise etc.

That is the default setting when motors are armed. Safety setting, lets you know they are armed. Hold throttle all the way down and left. This should disarm them. you can do #define MOTOR_STOP in the sketch to turn this off but i wouldn't. in the gui i think you can turn off arm mode and do a write(...

firmware version has to be same as tool. If you are using linux you have to be root or change all kinds of permissions. the screen you posted of config tool shows it not connected.

Kentucky USA, It's good the fed at least clarified them dumb selves.

I don't think you should have to have a TSA check before posting a video of some real estate you are selling.
didn't have to before.
that is fascistic.

still not "allowed" because i would never submit to these ridiculous "rules" I am glad the clowns at the faa came out with some dumb rules and at least clarified where they are thinking, regardless anything they do will be wrong. Free market is what makes you free, not rules and ...

When you roll and pitch. Give it some throttle. What flight modes are you using?

government always ruins everything. How do "rules" generate money?

I would try another cable if you haven't already. d6 is correct. Another troubleshooting step is maybe connect the same cable to another pin on the fc (d3 d4 or d5) and see if it responds. If it does, this will eliminate it being a tx/rx problem. If you connect to another and it responds, multiwii m...

which receiver? on TX should be a display mode, go into display mode and make sure yaw (on TX) is correctly wired to corresponding channel wiring on RX and flight controller.
am i making sense?

Cool thanks for the explanation. I actually had another multiwii board and i swapped them out. Flys fine now. I think the first board is damaged. It was like tilting it while giving a little throttle did nothing as though the gyro was nonexistant. I was mistaking this for being stuck in acro mode.

OK i built 250 multiwii 2.5 fpv quad, learing to fly blahblahblah. anyway tried to build same thing with cc3d, couldn't get board to communicate with any computer. garbage. got another trusty multiwii and cheapo flysky transmitter...some reason i can't get the machine to go into horizon mode, i clic...

good post, informative.
