Hi to all, Just giving my feedback regarding the pre v2.3. I tested it with my Xcopter that has a Crius SE FC and didn't found any problem. My rig is nothing fancy, just a X525 with ANGLE and MAG activated. I still have to tune the PIDs since I felt the Xcopter too loose when flying with defaults. I...

About your video. Is your copter all level throughout the whole video..? Because when I'm tilting my copter my lines goes way beyond yours (not noise), and you have a maximum of around -10 on your acc roll. Also, how does your magnetometer behave when rotating your copter 360 degrees in it's yaw ax...

Excelent work!

Hi, Can you look at the picture and tell me if the vibrations are bad? I have balanced all four props, and motors are running at 1300, close to take-off. Hi, The way I have to show you the vibration is with a video from my Xcopter: m You can see after the ARM indicator goes green the vibration nois...

Hi, the good sense should tell you to keep people and animals away from the rotating knifes (aka propellers) of multicopters. Please be careful, there are already to many bad examples of careless people with multicopters in the Internet. BR, Luis Sismeiro

Hi, you need to edit the config.h file according to your necessities like the FC, TX, etc. Then you should use the Arduino IDE to compile and upload the software to the FC. I think this is the easiest way to do it. BR, Luis Sismeiro

sismeiro

Hi,

You can test by connecting one ESC directly to the receiver for each channel. Don't forget to remove the props before.

If you expect an "official" patch approach after each problem reported, maybe for a full time job I agree with you, controlling and merging the changes would be a full time job. Currently I am still using 2.1 because it's working well for me and I don't want to loose that if I upgrade do ...

Hi to all,

When will we have a 2.2.1 version of MultiWii to correct the bugs found with 2.2? Most of the times, if not all, is not recommended that we use the _shared version to solve the problems like this one and get unexpected new ones.

Hi, I also use a 808 keychain camera and have being fighting with the jello effect. I have added a platform for the battery and camera: Rn2s14J3i0U And the result is this: l6geX5OTHLc In the near future I will use this to dump even more the vibrations: http://sismeiro.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/img...

Hi,

The power lines that feed the ESCs from the battery.

Hi,

It could be magnetic interference from the high electricity currents passing in cables near the magnetometer.

Hi,

Thanks for you text mode MultiWiiConf. It's always good to have alternatives specially when java plays tricks with us. The scripting capability is always a nice to have.

If someone told me that a multicopter pilot did what I saw in the video only one name would came to my head: Warthox.

sismeiro

Hi,

I liked your video very much. It was entertaining and exciting, I was expecting where the things go wrong and even lowered my head when passing the "tunnels".

Hi to all,

Just one question, is this new mode independent of GPS or do we need one? I am asking this because of the 15 m range necessary for the mode to work.

sismeiro

vpb, thank you for your words. Lately I have pushed my limits a lot more and sometimes I crash and others I manage to avoid the trees, some of the latest videos show that.

Lot to learn until I can fly nose in.

Hi to all, Just to update this post with more information. Now I have two more batteries, a Turnigy 9X and a lot of changes to make the Xcopter better. You can see the construction pictures here: m m Flying videos here: m And if you want to read some text in portuguese (many info in english, I decid...

Yeah the motors are ok! Don't know why this is happening. The props are new, never used!

Hi,

For your reference this is the video of my Xcopter flying and the sensor noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D2W4mt_dY8

Hi, I don't know if I can help much, I recently bought a TGY 9X but I am using the Rx that came with it. What I did was configure the model, I gave my the name Xcopter. Then the type selected was ACRO, the mode was PPM and Mode2 for the sticks position. Then I configured the center in the SUBTRIM to...

Hi to all, Pure wish but a working ESC calibration and programming feature. So I can easily program the ESC's in an octocopter without having to monkey around with the cables. Why don't someone develop a firmware program just for calibrating and programming the ESCs outside the MultiWii code? Since ...

Hi to all,

We now have several configurations going from PID to rates, passing through TPA. Can someone provide some explanation regarding all the old and new configuration options for MultiWii 2.1? Thx.

Hi,

900<dTime is the same as dTime>900. I think this is what what you were saying with "I guess the intention was to check if dTime is in the intervall 900 to 2200".

Hi, I seem to have a bug where the estimated ROLL and PITCH angles are still not level right after a ACC calibration.

Hi, Ffirst line is aux1 Second line is aux2 Ok, so you didn't found any strange behaviour in the video but I don't understand how it should work for aux configuration. Tele.step has.

Hi, When I am using the vt100 interface to configure the aux switches, I have two lines for the same mode. I think only one line should be shown in the aux configuration. I posted a video on YouTube to show it: m Also with the configuration #define LCD_TELEMETRY_STEP "012345" nothing happe...

Hi Tovrin, Since I bought my frame I knew that one day one of the motor mounts would be broken and that happened. What I did was simple, I mounted the motors in the aluminium tube using part of the original fiber support between them. Also I changed the landing gear since I didn't like the spikes an...

Well since i started this post i have seen a couple of people tried them stock and they said motors sputtered and shut off in flight with multiwii firmware and then i heard people say they work good with kk firmware!

The 'wheelbase' is 600 mm as indicated, they mean motor to motor. Right now I use 10x4.5 props but also have 11x4.7 for when I have more weight to carry.

Hi,

I am happy with my X525 V3 frame bought at GLB (http://www.goodluckbuy.com/kk-mk-x525-q ... optor.html) but after a small crash that broke one motor support I changed it (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/r ... directlink).

Probably isn't the best frame around but it's good enough for my flight experience and fly's very well.

warthox, not fair... Not only you pilot multicopters like a 3D champ, you also can make them stand still in the air like no other.

Edit: how can I check out the r33 version from svn?

Of course it does, I was not minimizing the implied danger whatever the nature of the code. That's why the "extra extra" and the "even more" I wrote.

Hi, With time and the confidence we gain when flying the multicopters many times we tend to forget about how dangerous this hobby is. I think we should have a page with a disclaimer regarding possible accidents that can happen and also a list of recommendations to avoid the accidents for everybody, ...

(Yes, I experienced such overflows. It's not fun jumping after your copter before it plows into something you'd like to keep intact, like TV sets, mirrors, friends) It's bad what happened to you but fortunately you didn't harm yourself or other people. This is a reminder to all of us about the dang...

One of the biggest difficulties when coming to MultiWii is the config.h file. Is getting bigger and with that is more easy to be "lost" and don't know what to comment or not. Also it has new stuff when there is a new release (mainly in the dev branch) but people will always try the latest ...

Hi, just to tell that this version was the best one that I tested in my Xcopter until now using acc, gyro and mag of the Crius SE controller. I suppose I will hang to it a few more time or not.
