You cant trim acc in gui ! Only calibrate ! To trim acc you must use tx stick configuration ! Calibrating and trimming are two diffrent things ! Go to the multiwii.com page and click the software tab on top , then scroll down to the stick combination summary link and it will show you how to trim acc...

Im confused! That screenshot is version 2.0 gui ! If your using 1.9 firmware you must use 1.9 gui with it ! If your using 2.0 then the gui in your screenshot is correct one ! Use same gui as the firmware you are using !

chris ables

I dont know this board but you need to repost this in the getting started section this section is current dev and bugs ! Just letting you know and you will probably get quicker response in other section !

chris ables

There is only a 0.2 and 1.0 version and not a 2.0 ! I run the lite board with just gyro and acc so i dont know the diffrence other than the 1.0 being a little smaller board and the newer version that just came out ! Maybe someone else on here knows what all the diffrences are ! I also believe the 1....

chris ables

Oh yeah the setup i mentioned is quad x setup and probably wont fly a camera such as the flip ! It will on the otherhand fly a camera such as the one in rctimer on the multicopter accessories page ! It's on the last page on multicopter accessories ! Read read and read some more about programming mul...

chris ables

Go to rctimer.com they hava the multiwii se board cheaper and have great service ! The se board has acc for autoleveling and barometer ! They also have gps modules to add later ! Dont get the rctimer esc unless you know how to reflash them ! I use hobbywing skywalker 20 amp esc's and 2208 1200kv mot...

chris ables

You could also put thar rc rate on 0.90 and the expo box below it to 0.40 and that would make it not touchy near center stick and touchy at full stick! Expo is your friend when you set up an aggressive setting !

chris ables

I have heard of yaw gyro reversed causing this !

chris ables

Thats great ! Sorry i didnt notice that right away in video! Just take you time flying and orientation is the hardest thing to learn while flying ! Hard to fly it if you dont know where the front is ! LOL

chris ables

Thorsten flips are easy ! Just hook to gui and set the rate box after roll and pitch to 0.25 , and also be sure your acc is off when trying flips ! That rate box makes it more touchy ! I also lowered my roll and pitch p value ! That makes it looser ! Do this only if you can fly good as it will get k...

chris ables

Thank you thats what i needed! I will stay with the old one that works! If it works there is nothing better !

chris ables

Ok i think i found it ! Is it the last file on this link or is it one of the newer ones above it ? https://github.com/sim-/tgy/downloads

chris ables

Thanks for the layout but i dont see a file on the download page called tgy.hex! And i think the file is in the newest kkflashtool but which one and the reversed one or not ! If you open the kkflashtool you will see what i mean ! That spreadsheet must not be up to date because tgy.hex not on downloa...

chris ables

Thanks copterrichie ! I thought they would be bigger than 2212 after reading the specs ! Lol on the naming convention !! These motor companies need to get it together ! Before we know it a quad will have 5 motors right? (joking of course ) thanks again for confirming this !

chris ables

Haven´t change to try these pre-flash, flashed them straight away RCTimer ESC pads from left to right: MOSI MISO SCLK GND VCC RST For flashing I used Hobbyking KK board USB programmer and kk-flashtool software m Pls, see bottom of this page for youtube tutorial video. All other information and good...

chris ables

Hey what kv motors are you using ? The timing comes set at low on default settings on the skywalker ! If your using higher than 1200 kv motors you might need to set timing on skywalkers at medium ! Timing can also cause motor problems ! I am running 1200kv motors and they are running on low timing a...

chris ables

Could someone go to rctimer.com and look at the 2212-10 motor and tell me what size motor it is ? The specs say it's a 2826 ! This is confusing me because i thought a 2212 motor was suppose to be 22 mm x 12mm ! I need help on this before i order motors from them so any help appriciated !!

chris ables

You are still using those motor connectors i see in video ! You need to take those connectors off and solder those wires together ! I used to use connectors also and had those same motor problems ! NO CONNECTORS BETWEEN ESC AND MOTOR !!!

chris ables

i found this on rcgroups and had to share ! 2 male servo wires glued together !

chris ables

Configurable rates for esc refresh rate in gui didn't make it ?

chris ables

http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=go ... oductname= heres the gps add on for that board ! It's priced fair also!

chris ables

He must be flying now looks like he diappeard !

chris ables

I might try and make me a breadboard and pogopin jig to flash some of these ! Which simon file are you using for 30amp ? The only file i see for rct is for the 50 amp ! Could you post that file so i could download ? Thanks for all your input and after lots of research i found their refresh rate is 3...

chris ables

Ok after watching and starting the video 50 times i see that his motors are spinning in correct direction ! Didnt look at video this close until now ! Sorry ! Luquad your props are backwards so just reverse them and you will have liftoff ! Leave motor direction alone because they are correct !

chris ables

Maybe alex needs to put an argument link on the board index that way we have a place for it !!!!

chris ables

Yes thats right ! Under amperage = bad resistance !!

chris ables

Thats right lenz but his motors are spinning wrong direction ! He needs to reverse motors and props ! EDIT: my bad the props are backwards and the motors spinning in correct direction !

chris ables

Very true ! I will see how that frame does for now and it was very inexpensive . I may stay with it ,we will just have to see how it goes !

chris ables

Thank you LenzGr !! I feel better now ! All my parts will be here in a few weeks ! Im putting all this on a dji f330 frame for now but will build a carbon frame later ! I see where dji arms are breaking pretty easy and im building this for hardcore , fast flying so that frame probably wont last long...

chris ables

Tovrin is right, so do what he says also and check direction of motors spinning and be sure props are on the right way also ! Tovrin that battery and prop setup he had wouldnt be as near stable as the setup he has now ! Battery to heavy and weak and props to big for those motors . Luquad if green pr...

chris ables

The battery and props look good for your setup ! Have you hook it to gui and set the throttle range to 1000 low and 2000 high throttle on the upper right hand corner of gui ? You need to turn your radio on while in gui and set the endpoints from radio to get these ! Sounds like you may have not done...

chris ables

I need someone to tell me if a rctimer 2212 1400kv motor with an 8x4.5 prop on a 600gram quad x with a 2200mah 50c battery be ok if i use hk skywalker 20amp esc's with that setup ? Dont want to burn up esc's so anyone who is sure please feel free to let me know if i can use these esc's ! Thanks ahea...

chris ables

Sometimes i think to hard and dont think simple but something just occured to me ! You can take 3 servo y harnesses and plug one in the throttle port of reciever and plug the other two y harnesses in the two ends of that y harness and have four ends for four esc's to calibrate all four with reciever...

chris ables

Yes an octo with 4 motors down and 4 up ! With off motors running at minimum when off ! And definately high refresh rate esc's ! I think it would work and i realize gyro's will be reversed inverted but so is a heli !! The transition between top and bottom motors throttle response would be the key to...

chris ables

Hey i was thinking instead of variable props if you could mount 4 motors under the 4 motors on a quad and they would be the inverted motors ? All motors would be off at center stick and the bottom motors would run at bottom stick and top motors run at top stick ! Lots less parts than variable props ...

chris ables

Thanks for the reply's but i was wondering how they did without flashing them ? I dont want to get into flashing esc's right now ! Didnt know if anyone knew the actual stock refresh rate on these !

chris ables

I had that same problem with gaui props because they where thin and flexable ! I changed to gemfan props and vibration and flexxing went away !

chris ables

Im thinking of ordering some rctimer esc's but rctimer said a resseller said the pwm is only 340hz ! Does anyone know about these and if they will work with multiwii ??

chris ables

You can also make one out of 2 servo y cables ! If you dont have pin headers !!

chris ables

Yes those will work if you get a 2000mah 45c battery! The battery you have is way to heavy!! And not strong enough! An 1800mah 50c would be even better because it's lighter ! Another option you have is bigger motors to fly more weight ! Those motors you have people are running 7x4 props but you can ...

chris ables

Try some 8x5 props with a 2000 mah 3s 45c and i bet it flies then !

chris ables

Props are to big for that high kv motor ! Also the c rating on that battery needs to be about 35c ! Looks like you are overpropping motors and underpowering them with the low c rating !! Just my opionion from experiance !! Also the 4000mah battery is probably kinda heavy !

chris ables

Tovrin i didnt order one of these! Insted i took 2 servo y harnesses and made my own ! Ive seen pic of yours somewhere and it is nice also ! Calibrate all 4 at once from rx throttle channel works great !!

chris ables

Here's where i got that idea from with the cable ! http://witespyquad.gostorego.com/access ... cable.html

chris ables

I think sometimes the tx doesnt go back to exact low and high throttle and if you make that cable then you can do all 4 the same time and you know they are synched since they get done together with one stick movement! It has nothing to do with board ! They just have to be in synch with each other an...

chris ables

http://multiwii.googlecode.com/svn/bran ... -57721.pdf link to page with tx stick calibration and trim acc and calibrate acc ! And try to take off without acc on for first time . I think they lift off better without acc and then you can turn it on in flight to check it !

chris ables

Also you need to calibrate the acc with your tx sticks the first time and then after that you can use the calibrate acc button in gui! And do not use bullet connectors on your esc's , be sure to solder motor wires - no connectors ! Connectors equal lots ofproblems in flight even if you think they ar...

chris ables

I am running skywalker esc too and i have my minthrottle set at 1120 ! I had to calibrate mine 2 times before they synched together ! You need to solder together a cable with one male for reciever and 4 female for esc's and calibrate all 4 at once from reciever throttle channel ! Also i set my tx th...

chris ables

Ha ha htothec ! They dont understand you ! Post a link of you flying so they can see ! About time you joined multiwii! You need to order a quad with us in a week from now ! It will be like that one warthox is flying in the first video on this page ! PatrikE you are right and he does need a collectiv...

chris ables

It can be done in tx just go to this link and look on page 15 and it shows you how ! http://spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/SP ... ual_EN.pdf
