I've a stupid question, I am about to start GPS testing tomorrow and I wonder what the behaviour of the LED ist. If I start up there obviously is no fix but what happens to the LED when the fix is optained (regarding to code it should blink, but this is not happening at my flyduino, maybe some othe...

hi sorry no test flights possible today. heavy wind an rain.... is it april already ???? no i dont think so.. for me to pass the boredom, I have a buzzer connected to the flyduino-mega. in hope the final 2.0 will support the buzzer.pde my respect alex and jevermeister for debugging the code! my brai...

hi nils

It is very amusing to read your news today

has helped me through the day thanks

hi

my jeti rsat2 serial ppm receiver works well with prerelease 2.0!
no problems from that side.

mbrak

hi wayne

seems to be your gps.
my flyduino gps works great.......except that it does not find the way back home. but that is another story

mbrak

hi just tested MW2.0pre1 with the new funktions. normal flying, mag-mode and acc mode working super soft and smooth. mega 11 bit pwm? the gps pos hold is the problem still now. setting a new home position, lift up the copter to about 5 meters and activating gps pos hold the copter comes backwards to...

hi

i just read one of my saved xml-setting files from wingui 1.04

i found this

Code: Select all

<RCRATE value="45" />

in gui the value is 90!!

the saved value is allways the half of the gui value.

can someone confirm this?

is it a bug or an undocumented feature?

mbrak

hi roman i thing you have to contact EOSBandi ! He is the man behind I2C GPS and he can answer your questions exactly. Alex wrote that the funktionality of both variants will be the same in some time. in the past POS Hold was only possible with the I2C solution not with serial GPS. The only hack to ...

mbrak

hi roman the german says "idiotensicher" the "aux(4)" is only for setting a new homepostion during flight. imho the return-positon is not always there where you arm the copter. original the copter or better the software stores your postion after arming the copter. thats the retur...

hi a change for setting new home position during flight with AUX4 (High). without the secound term in the if-structure you would not get the FIX LED pattern automaticly. Line 736 in DEV 20120225 if (rcData[AUX4]>1800 || GPS_fix_home == 0) { Hi, I've corrected it. I'm sure EOSBandi will enhanced any...

thank you

that's exactly what I was looking for.

mbrak

hi
I think no one here calls for detailed documentation.

all we need are a few more descriptions or explanations about the new features. No essay or something.

and that only for the developer versions!

greetings michael

mbrak

sorry that I did not belong to this closed circle of developers who know what they are doing to test their current development!

The releases are tested (with the DEV versions) and are a bit saver to fly and are coming with a change-log.

wow. I did not know that until you just posted it

mbrak

hi hamburger yes thats right! but it is a very short information for possible big changes. for me as a non-developer (but curious test-flyer) it is sometimes hard to find an explanation for new functions. in the past there where changes.txt files. for a tester with no 100% knowledge of each code-lin...

mbrak

@ Mbrak: In MultiWii tab line 734. Its easy to find when you use the arduino find function. hi i dont think so! line 734 is imho a query! i'd like to know where the variable is set. like "GPS_fix = 1;" the only part i could found is a bit up in the code in the i2c_GPS part. but i have a s...

mbrak

hi alex

thanks. thats the bug

now it works fine.

where in the code do you set the GPS_fix == 1 ?
cant find that. only for me to understand that

mbrak

hi y.mita many thanks for posting your PIDs. it quite useful for me to know how to modify the values. yesterday i tested the dev20120225 with nearly the same PIDs like your quad. ALT 2.5, 0.025, 0 VEL 0.0, 0.000, 0 the first flight with calm wind was quite very stable. wow i thought that was very ve...

mbrak

hi

can someone post the p-i-d values for ALT and VEL?

just tested the dev 20120225 and after switch level,baro and mag ON a had a beautiful flip into the green grass...... wonderful!

mbrak

hi

i just uploaded the dev 20120225

after waiting some minutes i had 7 sats in gui gps display. but no special status-led pattern to signalize gps-fix.
is that a bug or an undocumented feature?

mbrak

When i change the PID value by typing in new numbers I need to use the "," when I use the "." and push write it jump up to the max. This is strange because the shown sign is a "." this might be a font problem. the sign looks like a "." but if you type it in a...

mbrak

Works perfect !! thanks for that!

i'am using r575 and everthing looking good so far.

mbrak

Hey guys, I am also trying to use the GPS function. I use the EM-411 serial GPS on the Arduino Mega 2560 board. Its connected on serial 2 on the mega board. I have switched this function with AUX2. Its a three position switch on my Futaba T10 transmitter. The low position is GPS OFF. The MID positi...

Hi LuFa

i have the same problem. can you give a hint?
what should be fixed? (serial FMP04 GPS with flyduino Mega!!!)

mbrak

Hi EOSbandi my question is the same as from Magnetron. is the development of code only for the i2c-gps or is there also a further development for users with a serial GPS (flyduino-gps-bob). I'm just a little unsure because i just bought the serial gps. will it be possible to adapt the gps from paul ...

mbrak

hi Andras

what imu or mag sensor do you use?
do you have flat mag-lines in gui when power on motors >30%
what esc and motors do you use?

thx michael

mbrak

hi that sounds good dramida. but i don't think it is a practicable solution to elevate the mag for about 17cm. i have the same problems with my mag and i can't elevate the sensor because i have all sensors on the imu board. the microcopter has the same function called headfree. and they solved it wi...

//UndCon

Magnetic shielding you mean? what exactly do you think?

I should try to shield the electromagnetic compatibility of the ESC? how?

mbrak

Hi my tests have the same result as that of dramida. MAG is going crazy over all 3 axis as soon as more like hover-throttle(aprox. 40%) is present. motors : T-Motor2216/KV900 10x4.7 CF with robbe roxxy bl820 ESC i increased the space between IMU (10 DOF AllinOne / Ebay from CSG_EU) and frame with po...

mbrak

hi i tested the dev 20111220 today. the mag was well calibrated and the gui values good. the hf-mode was not working correctly! at yaw angles<90 degrees it worked fine but >90 degrees to the start orientation the copter was flying in other directions but not in that, i would like to have him. after ...

mbrak

Thanks Alex for this masterpice of software!

My copter has GPS now and it seems to work fine. (flyduino Mega with FMP04 GPS from Paul)

Will it be possible in future to reset the home-point an set a new one without power down the copter?

mbrak

hi

a small question

is it possible to assign an output-pin if having a gps-link?
i think it is not bad to have a led when there are enough satelites.

mbrak

hi Yaccos genius LCd-Config is an external piece of hardware with a arduino 328p, 16x2 lcd and some switches, resistors.... Here is it: http://www.rc-heli-fan.org/viewtopic.php?f=255&t=80336 the advantage is that you can plug it in every time you want (also without tx) and you can configure any ...

mbrak

thanks now it works fine.

i use yaccos lcdconfig. not the code from multiwii. unfortunately it won't work with the actual devs.

the dev works very smoth without any glitches known from 1.9 and above.
the weather seems to be very bad. no way to fly outside.

mbrak

Hello Hamburger

compiled your version yesterday inclusive GUI. Runs fine and smooth!
my components are flyduino Mega with allinone IMU quadx

stick combo for magneto calibration (throttle=up yaw=left pitch=down) won't work! any suggestion why?

bye michael

mbrak

Hi the Error in the Output section when compiling with the servo tilt option should be fixed with the following change: line 352: if ((rcOptions1 & activate1[BOXCAMSTAB]) || (rcOptions2 & activate2[BOXCAMSTAB])) { rcOption was not declared. but you declared rcOptions1 and rcOption2 @alex ple...
