The "linvar slave module" seems to be the easiest to config...Baud rate has to be changed to 11520 right? Where can I buy it?

msev

I'll probably go just with sensors bobs (clone wm+ 8$, adxl345 10$ and mag 13$)...I'm cheap

..

msev

Patrik what would be the ideal sensor combo for this project: gyro+acc,gyro+mag or gyro+acc+mag...could an acc in last combo be used for self centering.

msev

Patrik would it be possible that the mwii arduino would sense the rssi voltage of another duino or of a rc receiver and when the voltage would be reduced to some value initiate the "mag rth"... Is it a problem if the rc receivers rssi voltage range is a bit small,...lets say from 1.11-0.91...

msev

So when it would save the position - when on ground? Or in flight? And then if one would flick a switch, or if the board would recognize rc failsafe it could start returning 180 degress back. One noob question about i2c gps...do you connect it like this...GPS tx->arduino rx, GPS rx->arduino tx; seco...

msev

If flying in a fairly straight line, like for example when flying point to point, distance fpv, could a magneto be used for a crude solution for "return to general direction you came from"? because most of the time when there are problems with video or rc signal you probably just need to f...

I'm very interested in this bicopter idea ...So I have a few questions for you, since you're the resident bicopterist .. Firstly is a bicopter more stable if it has greater distance between the motos? Did you find a sweet spot regarding distance between the motors and prop size? What kind of thrust ...

msev

First a question not related to the title of the thread,...If I use bma150, its like using bma020 so I just define that (or bma180?)? For the gyro I plan to use the original wm+. My baro (bmp085) and acc (bma150) have voltage regulators on their breakout boards (they regulate power to 3.3V the senso...

I2C GPS module according to EOSBandi Where can I find the connection diagram between the GPS and secondary arduino? To see how sensei EOSBandi made it .. Is it like this rx on arduino -> rx on gps, tx on arduino -> tx on gps, and off course, powering both units? Hi, GPS RTH and PH is now fully impl...

msev

Where did you guys order your SRF08?

msev

Capt would you be so kind to make an outdoor test video of your setup in altitude hold, since I'm planning to use the same hardware (bma020,bmp085)...
Marbalon you have also one setup with bmp085 right? Would you also be so kind to make an outside test video?
Thank you both guys!

msev

Wow its really simple even I could do that

...Do you maybe have a rough schematic, or maybe just a picture of the underside? And maybe a parts list

msev

So for gps support you need an additional arduino to the main flight control arduino...And the main flight control must be one of the mega boards right? And the secondary can be a pro mini or nano?..The main arduino can't be a 328p board right... Hope I understand correctly now.

msev

I would love an OSD, for fpv it could be nice to have

...

This looks amazing.

msev

But eventually this solution with two pro mini's or two nano's (which i can get for 2x18$, which is probably cheaper that the mega boards) will be implemented right? Btw which i2c gps is good for the job & where did you guys buy it?

msev

Patrik great that you are working on a RTH code for aeroplanes

...I have a few noob questions.. I have the 10Hz Flytron GPS module at home (v2), will it work for this project? Is there enough room on the promini that aircraft stabilization and rth code operates on it?

msev

Nice job guys... Patrik what kind of hardware are you using? Has someone already tried how autolevel works?

msev

Off topic- which lcd are you using Rich? Does it blue/blackscreen if signal is fading?

msev

Patrik your copter looks really good

msev

Will this gps integration be universal, work with different gps's from cheap one's with low update rate to the faster, better, more expensive 10Hz one's

?

msev

Man I wish I had a friend who could make me those chips

msev

Palton how much range do you get from OpenLRS..Do you use stock antennas?

msev

Good to know, I'll ask at rcgroups if someone knows what could cause problems for some guys with that one,..

msev

Rich have you tried the bma020 acc - which is also a "poor man" acc choice

...Can you give a comparison between the two acc's?

msev

I would be perfectly happy just with RTH

initiated when I enter failsafe, for fpv peace of mind

hehe

msev

Good for you UndCon hehe...For starters maybe I'll try 5ch - 2 ail, 1 ele, 1 rud, 1 thr...sounds good for a start, later I'll go with the ppm-sum , since I'll have to hack the turnigy module to make it removable, and it's antenna interchangeable for trying out directional antennas.... It would be re...

msev

Hope you make some video so we see the stabilization in action

msev

Nice, great I'm loving it more and more when I hear the details

.. Got to order the parts soon

...It would be possible to also dial in some spoilerons after failsafe initiation right?

msev

Guys here is another cheap candidate for a gps: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/em-411-gps ... pset-80037

msev

If for example I would loose rc range (turnigy 9x doesn't have failsafe, but I could make a seperate failsafe circuit -rc-cam's rcfsv2), would the stabilization be still on? (which is favorable because it will ensure more "safe" landing, if an accelerometer would be installed)..

msev

Great so for launch one switches off, and then switches stabilization on in flight ..Great,...Have you seen fmkit's videos of wii stabilization (although he seems to use different code and platform),..will that kind of stabilization also be possible with multiwii code ... I'll try to make a depron z...

msev

I have a beaten up EZ* which I would have to repair,...but I also have a Twinstar 2 in mint condition (maybe rather this one? )..Motors are through Y cable connected..Isn't that enough 5 channels, so 2 ailerons, rudder and elevator, 1 more left could be for cam tilt compensation (although I even don...

msev

Guys I'm planning to try to do this on at least one of my planes, will you asist me in correctly connecting everything (i'll post pics before i start soldering, but first have to order everything)...What about the receiver, will the receiver from turnigy 9x be good?

msev

So there wasn't some flying wing code already present in the multiwii code, before this new code? Can you explain to me in novice terms this passthrough function?
Is it possible to also have autolevel with the use of bma020? Thanks!

msev

Thanks for the feedback Alex! Concerning the connections, I just look at berkleys diagram for the pro mini and connect the same numbered pins?

msev

Would this arduino board http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeedu ... Path=79_80 be suitable for this project? Would someone be willing to modify the code for me and help me connect things together?
