Re: DYNBALANCE does not work??

This feature is listed in the 2.3 changelog. Is there anyone that can at least tell me if they have got it to work on a crius AIO Pro V1?

I did but I would like to know why this happens. Is it something that can be fixed??
These ESC's look good on paper and their construction is much better than many.

SBAS settings for Australia

Hi,

I am trying to figure out what SBAS settings I should use for my Ublox NEO-6P. Most of the information on the web seems old, from what I read is that we dont have a zone and perhaps I should switch it off. Does anyone else have any input??

Cheers

Serial OSD + serial GPS + Bluetooth on Mega

Hey guys,

Has anyone got serial OSD, serial GPS, and bluetooth working on a mega board?
I have seen a post where someone has modified a serial.ino file to handle the extra ports and was wondering if it was incorporated into the new version with the latest protocol.

Cheers

Re: Rushduino OSD - Multiwii based open software osd

To whom this may help, 1. The software for the OSD is compiled in Version 1.0 of the Arduino IDE. 2. The "Metro" library must be downloaded and imported into the IDE before it will compile. m 3. Watch the video on hooking up the board. For the Cirus SE board users the markings on the PCB f...

GPS on Crius SE board

Hey Guys,

I own a few Crius SE boards that have a port for using the LCD module. I am hoping this port could be used to for a GPS module.
I was hoping that someone could give me some pointers on how I could enable this?

The problem was that the Crius SE is classed as a ProMini board which with the currunt code if you have 6 or more motors you need to use PPM sum. So you have to uncomment the #define A0_A1_PIN_HEX and switch motors 5 and 6 to A0 and...
