Hi! Harakiri in it's current state is designed to never put you out of control. Ending up with an unresponsive copter (roll/pitch/yaw/aux channels etc) sounds more like an openlrs / electrical / whatever issue. The Killswitch is only a sidenote in the readme. Setting rc_killt = 200 will set the Arms...

Crashpilot1000

Due to popular demand added align_board_yaw. (See the readme.txt for further description here: https://github.com/Crashpilot1000/TestC ... ME.txt#L46). I don't know how your copters look like but when everything is so cluttered that even the board had to be placed 90 degree off it may be likely that you mag is fu**** up as well.
Cheers Rob.

Nice to see so much activity over the last weeks again on Harakiri development. Looks to be its really time to update. I will give it a try and update my big Quad as soon as I can. Thanks for all you efforts. BTW: is someone still using the sonar to support altitude hold near the ground? Looks to b...

Thank you very much Bamfax and Mr.Fiero for discussing GPS details here, giving feedback and publishing configs!! I am mostly grounded with rain/thunder and bad GPS reception when it's not raining here. I think you are right some preset values should be changed to new defaults. Currently I can not c...

@Mr-Fiero: Thank you very much for posting your settings. I stripped them a little down to better see the difference in the relevant parts: Preset: ======= acc_lpfhz = 10.000 accz_vcf = 0.985 gps_ins_vel = 0.600 gps_lag = 2000 gps_expo = 20 gps_ph_settlespeed = 10 gps_ph_brakemaxangle = 15 gps_pos_p...

Short notice on GTUNE. I farted around with it today and having predefined limits for each axis is the better logic than the percentage stuff. However it works best when coming from a too high P and is not so good when coming from lower P. I think there is a way around that, that needs more testing ...

Crashpilot1000

Too much vibration hitting the acc is one reason for that. The mwii IMU part is also part of the problem but holding the copter still in the air for a short time should correct the internal horizon. If only landing is able to correct that your setup has too much vibrations coming through to the acc....

@ farzadsw: Thank you very much for your offer, dude! Sorry I was a little shocked because that Keil stuff is sooooo expensive for me (checked at digikey it's over 5K € now!). Optical flow should be in theory no problem to integrate into the existing GPS / ACC fusion algo (basically just another vel...

Crashpilot1000

Mr-Fiero: I keep my fingers crossed! I fiddeled a little around with G-tune. Currently it could be used very well on the yaw axis - it does a good job there, have to do further tests but the Yaw P autosetting has a good chance to make it into harakiri as an option (like setting yaw P to 0 and MHefny...

@Bamfax: Having condition X and tilt Y into direction Z degree will end up in an never ending casemachine but hey, no problem! @Mr-Fiero: Thank you very much for your extensive report! If you look at the code changes m you will see that the GPS part is completely untouched. Maybe you changed some pa...

Crashpilot1000

I have to repost since my last post simply got lost *somehow*. No cli variable needed TC could fix the Bug and done.

Crashpilot1000

You commented out what makes the BMP detection skip on naze5. Because the Naze5 in the full featured version just has MS5611 as option (older naze had BMP as well). So I guess TC didn't expect you to upgrade the acro Nz5 with an inferior BMP085 or BMP180. However you can tune the BMP085/180 for acce...

Crashpilot1000

Hallo Bamfax! Somehow I don't get your question . Besides Autoquad wich uses (unpublished?) advanced adaptive control all opensource FC run their data through ordinary PID controllers. GPS functions use the level mode in multiwii so that has to be tuned and working in the first place. If you get sma...

Crashpilot1000

I guess you are not supposed to have a bosch baro sensor on N5?

Crashpilot1000

The gps groundcourse is not meshed with the magnetic heading. In planes the GPS gorundcourse can be enough since they can't go suddenly 90deg right or even backwards in the same moment, they fly forwards and do turns like an oiltanker. It might be possible with interpreting the stickinputs and not t...

Thx for the nice feed back Fiero and Holger but check it out first..... Buzzer should be running even on Naze5 since the first Testcode3 and I have reports that it is actually working - sorry for just 3rd hand feedback, I have no buzzer installed. BTW I wished the BF ppl would have looked at the son...

Crashpilot1000

Well Mr-Fiero I think you will love this one then as well! The integration was a breeze. Althold, Autostart and Autoland tested - works like expected. Besides the better "has passed throttlemidstick position" (better means, it can not be missed anymore if you are "too fast" on th...

------------------------------ > Crashpilot1000 : Since you updated TestCode3, did you fix the PH mode, alt adjust, having to return to center first, issue? I didnt see it in the notes about your update. i am scheduled for major flying today but after I am going to update the firmwares and re-test....

Crashpilot1000

Thank you very much Bamfax for straightening out some things here! Die_Kuh: Your lockups/problems are completely gui related - over and out. It seems you are through all the non recommended stuff and found out why it isn't in the list. I updated the post with some info on flashing just to be sure. f...

Crashpilot1000

@Bulesz you are right. I did some renaming a (hopefully) complete list is in the readme m @Strips: I followed the oneshot discussion and reasoning in the BF part of this forum and I can not comment on their function besides all the strong opinions there I am not so sure that oneshot isn't working at...

Hi. In opposite to multiwii the mag declination needs not to be calculated. The degrees must be in the "hundreds" and the minutes are the last 2 numbers (if the sign is negative you have to write it as well). So 1 deg 16 minutes East (positive) will be mag_dec = 0116. 13deg and 13 minutes ...

Crashpilot1000

Hi, since I've seen the video (m) of DC how the ppsum decoder fu**s up - I was thinking what makes this go wrong and what can be done about it without copying over openpilot code (that doesn't even fix frsky 18ms). The present state in Harakiri (not BF because it is actually worse concerning the fai...

Crashpilot1000

Hi BRM, i see we are on the same page here. However your approach seems to be more scientific using accelerometer help for validating gps feedback probably in a kalmanfilter with predictive elements and evaluating probabilities. My approach was more crude in this regard because I find acc data not r...

Crashpilot1000

Basically you are right, however there are some circumstances that make it actually possible and besides buying a new RX (if it's not flashable) you can reduce the Auxchannelrange with the same result of an always detectable sync gap (like described). The main fact that makes it possible to fix it i...

Crashpilot1000

As far as I know there is no easy way to flash the Frsky D4FR. Those possible sync loss situations are rare (but can be always provoked in test environment), so why not fix it in software if it is possible and keep your hardware (and 50Hz) ? From my testing the fix works a 100% (aka always worked du...

Crashpilot1000

Just try it out it has no serious design flaws I know of that will kill your copter. GPS is something you can always oversteer. BF is also fine.

Crashpilot1000

However Frsky sumsignal patch (for 18ms frames with 8 channels) is online. Instead of implementing another cli value the problem is autodetected and the fix applied if necessary. Tested with Frsky D8R-II and Frsky D4FR. Works. m maybe BF is interested as well. Just wondering how that m is supposed t...

I'm pretty sure you that nobody is interested in your jobless java changes. You can keep you javaflight spam to your own thread.

Crashpilot1000

Hi, guys! That is actually not perfect - but I was searching for a method to keep the user always in control and not let the gps fly the copter too much. IMHO some other things concerning the GPS need to be adressed first - aka errorhandling, that must be improved to make GPS functions generally saf...

Crashpilot1000

Hi, just fixed the 18ms lost ppm sync problem for unflashable D4FR (depicted here: m). The problem is reproducible when maxing out 7 channels and using a little channel 8. I was able to reproduce it on the bench (Aux all max, Full throttle + Full Roll + Full Pitch and then a little yaw -> - BOOM syn...

Hi! Thanks Dominic for the ppsum hint! However I can not reproduce it on my gear.

Thanks for actually putting Sonar to work in BF! But I don't know why it is necessary to have a baro hight limit like arducopter for the sonar to work (magic 3m?). Sonar does distance measuring not absolute hight so it is very useful for roof inspections to keep a constant distance from it (aka not ...

Crashpilot1000

Thx for the feedback!
I looked at the gimbal code without finding an obvious error - that doesn't mean there is none, of course

. Since that is mwii, did you activate CAMSTAB in the aux boxes?

Well, BRM you know I respect you as a someone with very good input (like Hinkel) and scientific background.

@Peterkins: Hi, Dude! The Connections are like depicted in the original BF manual - so no change of that. I haven't been jumping on the softserial train for some reasons.

Crashpilot1000

Just some offtopic - cry out: I sincerely believe that the mwii protocol is good but it has to have a defined standard of sending variables/names/values/value ranges to the gui. So a gui could display all current and future parameters and the user can alter them (within the transmitted limits). Some...

Crashpilot1000

Your G-spot tuning looks to be working fine. Can you outline the working principle? Can it run all the time i.e do some inflight tuning all the time?

Sorry for spam but wt* is this:

Looks like a declaration of war, is that necessary? I know google also reveals: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/HydraIRC
http://www.hydrairc.com/content/developers - don't know but baseflight should stand above those regulations and open source war is a waste of time IMHO.

Crashpilot1000

Hiho. @rank that is possible but I guess you will have to change the mixer.c on the other hand you could use (or more precise: abuse) the gimbal functions for that.... like with multiwii... Or buy a receiver that puts out sumsignal and separated pwm channels simultaneously - that is future proof bec...

Actually the softserial part was done by Dominic Clifton for baseflight - just to get that straight. Both (Dominic Clifton and TC) have the power and programming skills to properly maintain a github and handle (debug!) code submissions - I simply can't do that. From what I see softserial will requir...

Just flashed your latest hex on that mw32v2. The firmware defaults the MMA84xx, the values are mixed up (like described by chrizztus) but the roll and pitch angles are reported correctly - so everything is fine. Note chrizztus: you can default the mpu acc in cli "set acc_hardware = 2" then...

Hi, guys! Sorry to not chime in into the discussion lately.
