Re: Help with Multiwii GUI Ver 2.1

I also get exactly one I2C error with a BMA020 , but since it occurs at startup I've assumed it has something to do with the initial I2C handshaking and ignored it. Whatever causes it , I don't have any sensor performance problems. And I never had this error on the older versions. I just did a searc...

Re: MultiWii_dev_20120528

OK Scott. I don't know much about coding so I can't help you there. I can verify that the wiring does work and is easy to implement so
if you're looking to get it flying , try it. You're welcome Reverend .

Re: MultiWii_dev_20120528

I have the old Flyduino, where pin 19 is out to that tiny jst connector. Makes it useless. I would like to use serial 2 or 3, which do have regular pins. You should have said that in the first place. I have the same Flyduino and it's very easy to solder a small wire on the jst connector for your si...

Re: MultiWii_dev_20120528

I don't have access to pin 19 on my Mega, and I would like to use PPM sum. I used to use this code to move the ppm pin to pin 2, but I can't find the pin order in the new code. changing this: #define PPM_PIN_INTERRUPT attachInterrupt(4, rxInt, RISING); //PIN 19 #define MOTOR_ORDER 3,5,6,2,7,8 //for...

Re: I²C Errors after flashing 2.0

would you have more info on how to do that? (add 2 2.2k resistors, but between what and what?) thanks! Probably too late to answer you , but connect one resistor between SCL and the wire you're using to power the sensor and connect another resistor between SDA and the power wire. Have a look at thi...

Re: dev20120225 orientation warning!!!

Go near the bottom of config.h and change the GYRO_ORIENTATION define to this :

#define GYRO_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {gyroADC[ROLL] = Y; gyroADC[PITCH] = -X; gyroADC[YAW] = -Z;}

Make sure it shows proper movement in GUI before flying .

Re: Nano Problem

Thanks for that link captain . My nano seems to have a different problem though because everything works OK but somehow the internal 328 chip circuitry for pin D2 has stopped working. If I was more technically competent I suppose I could replace the 328p but hardly worth the effort. Anyway it does w...

Re: Nano Problem

I think I've figured it out , at least it looks OK in the GUI . If anyone else ever has a dead Throttle Pin D2 on the 386 boards here's what you need to change to use PPM-SUM receiver. First it looks like your only option instead of D2 for PPM_SUM is to use D3. The software uses a function that only...

Nano Problem

I have a Nano and the throttle pin no longer works on it. I think I accidentally ran 5 Volts into it and it won't give any output now. It definitely has a connection all the way to the 328 chip. So I've been trying to change the code so I can use one of the other pins for throttle - I changed def.h ...
