before I scour google, I wanted to ask first... is there currently a hack to enable control of pan/tilt servos for an FPV cam on a 4-servo AIRPLANE setup within MW & on a MEGA board? The last piece in my puzzle is controlling the PT gimbal from the MW, since I have a single, long lead from the R...

question: what's the best practice for deciding on "servo rates"? It seems that the only effect they have is to multiply the PID factor by the specified percentage, so then couldn't the values simply be set to 100 and then have the throw controlled only by the PID term? Or, am I missing so...

found this thread. I'm trying to setup PPM for AIRPLANE mode on a CRIUS AIOP V2 board. The code suggested above by SpaceFish works fine for reading PPM on PL1.

KK2 has its own (optimized?) math libraries for dealing with the integer math. Though I haven't verified it, I'm pretty sure that KK did it that way for a good reason. I believe there's even a 24-bit integer type that's used, which seems like a great compromise. signed 16bit is just too damn small t...

I wrote a question in the boards/hardware forum, but apparently no one monitors that. I've got a CRIUS AIOP V2 board, and I'm noticing that the altitude from the baro sensor (MS5611) will temporarily spike in the GUI whenever a setting is written to EEPROM. This coincides with a short pause of the i...

this describes it pretty accurately: m probably someone (not me) could even copy/adapt the taulabs controller to use in multiwii. yup, there you go, that's what I was referring to.

MOTOR_STOP is handled later after all mixers. And applies on all models. I was under the impression that this wasn't the case when using a servo pin for throttle. Also, FLYING_WING mode has a motor count of zero in def.h, which would it exclude it from the "motor normalization" section of...

rubadub

Ideally, yes, that's true... but, in the real world, if the copter drifts slowly, the gyro's won't detect it.
Angle should be locked with data from acc sensor for it to be a true attitude lock.

rubadub

Try: Angle + GPS hold(Position Hold) + Baro (altutude hold)+ Mag (head hold) thanks, but that's not quite it. ANGLE will try to level the 'copter based on the calibrated ACC values and ACC trim. BARO is alt hold, which isn't really what I'm referring to. MAG *can* be part of the equation, assuming ...

rubadub

I searched around, but couldn't find anything relevant, or perhaps I missed it. Is there an 'attitude lock' flight mode in MW? i.e., releasing the sticks will hold copter's attitude (Roll/Pitch/Yaw angles all held fixed). I'm not talking about HORIZON either. I want the ability to set the copter's a...

What's the reasoning behind selecting the default values of 0.5 for these constants? It's away to keep symmetrical throws on combinated full throws on Roll/Pitch.

FYI, one thing I did personally was avoid using the rcData value because it is an averaged value. #if defined(RX_RSSI_CHAN) extern volatile uint16_t rcValue[]; uint16_t r = map((uint16_t)constrain(rcValue[RX_RSSI_CHAN],1000,2000), 1000, 2000, 0, 1023); #else uint16_t r = analogRead(RX_RSSI_PIN); #en...

i just did it like this: added note that RX_RSSI_CHAN starts at 0 #if defined(RX_RSSI_CHAN) uint16_t r = map((uint16_t)rcData[RX_RSSI_CHAN], 1000, 2000, 0, 1023); #else uint16_t r = analogRead(RX_RSSI_PIN); #endif #define RX_RSSI_CHAN 6 //RSSI injection on selected channel (for PPM, SBUS, etc.) (St...

rubadub

I ended up doing the following: #if defined(RX_RSSI_CHAN) && RX_RSSI_CHAN>0 uint16_t r = (uint16_t) rcData[RX_RSSI_CHAN]; //range [1000:2000] r=(r-1000)*1023/1000; //scale to 0-1023 range #else uint16_t r = analogRead(RX_RSSI_PIN); #endif same basic concept, just added a little sanity check ...

It's Failsafe!.. Failsafe throttle is 1350 if you have not changed it.

another issue that I'm finding is that ANGLE mode is enabled by default during testing (ANGLE box is green in MWGUI) and I can't disable it.

rubadub

The Idéa behind it is that it should work with a minimum of sensors. And there can be problem if the Baro is affected by airspeed. GPS altitude is good enough for RTH But not precision Navigation. My plane rarely diff more than 2-3 meters in alt.' In void FW_NAV() you can change it to use Baro. // ...
