Have a magnifying glass at hand.

Good equipment always counts. I invested in a new small Weller soldering station with a fine tip.

I cut the two lines not with a knife (could slip ...), but with my Dremel and a very fine tip.

Glad, I could help ....

kalle123

I think, you are lucky ....

I have the same clone here on the desk

Connection like that

So you see, same is most often not the same

Did you un comment the BMA020 in config.h?

They look the same, but they are not the same ....

Post a pic!

I would suggest: 1. Do a loop back test with your FTDI, to insure, that the FTDI is still OK- Bridge RX - TX on the FTDI and do a test in a terminal window. On my machine that looks like this 114.jpg What is send, is instantly returned. Both LED on FTDI blink. 2. If FTDI is OK, get a new FC board 3....

I have two of those battery boxes laying around here for checking and testing my RC equipment.

kalle123

I would say, your frame does not look very rigid to me, which will cause problems.

Paul uses on the divide et impera board

a 51k on the + side and a 33k on - side. See the manual on that page.

Turn your nano around. On the backside there is the FTDI chip. Take a standard usb cable and solder the 4 wires to GND, VCC and USBDM and USBDP.

I have seen that USB adapter on that German page

(Scroll down to chapter 6)

Find it a good idea and I am using it myself.

OK on vbox (Win XP) under PCLinuxOS host.

Hello Andras.

Will give it a try tomorrow on my linux machine....

Nice for you, but what is with linux?

kalle123

Anyone here got it working with vmware or vbox on a linux os?

kalle123

Working with multiwii is is always a good idea to have a standard arduino (like UNO etc.) around to directly check those sensors.

You can find sketches for the sensors in the web.

MAG -> https://www.loveelectronics.co.uk/Tutor ... no-library

Then you know, it is not the sensor but the software.

First of all it does not matter, how you position the wm+. As long as ... Components must be placed rectangular to each other and to flying direction. You make the axis settings in config.h here //if you want to change to orientation of individual sensor //#define ACC_ORIENTATION(X, Y, Z) {accADC[RO...

kalle123

I think you don't want to fly upside down with MAG on.

kalle123

As I just found here

http://fpv-community.de/forum/showthrea ... &page=last

the problems are solved.

Would be nice, if you would tell it on all places, where you asked for advice!!

kalle123

For testing the MAG, take your Duemilanove,

and connect the MAG sensor.

Here you find a small sketch.

http://www.timzaman.nl/?p=970&lang=en

You have to install the HMC library first.

kalle123

I told you yesterday in the German forum. Take your "Dummylove" (Duemilanove) Connect ONE sensor at a time to it. Look for a test sketch for checking that sensor. (Like that one for the BARO m ) After that, you know, that sensor is working or not. Then, as PatrikE wrote, Start with only wm...

kalle123

Some of the pics are blurred and don#T help.

The wiring can not be seen clearly.

By the way, were are the sensors connected to the shield? I don't see the connection.

Im using multiwii 1.8patch2 and arduino uno(" defined promini" )

If you are using Uno, you have to select Uno. Did you select Promini as board in the Arduino IDE?

That looks like a master BT modul to me.

I don't get it. Is it an arduino only or a complete multiwii ?

For arduino only I am using those

kalle123

What sensors are you using ???

Tell a little about your hardware.

Thank you. At least I am not alone

Go to

http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/downloads/list

and get from there 1.8 patch 2

flash the arduino with 1.8 patch 2 and use GUI 1.8 patch 2.

Why use 1.7 ???

BR KH

kalle123

Please take a magnifying glass at hand and check for bridges in your soldering/wiring on arduino/wm+

Hope you get it working.

Besides, it is much easier, to do the first test on a breadboard.

That was my first try

kalle123

You are still wrong!

In your 1st and 2nd pic of the wm+ the connections are wrong!

I marked the connection in yellow

kalle123

I think, that pic from

http://www.microcopters.de/artikel/das- ... pter-howto

is more clear.

Do you have spare components for testing?

Exactly. It is not clear from the posting, that the sketch has been uploaded to the arduino board.
