Sounds like another opportunity for you to port baseflight.

copterrichie

I am sure the sensor routines could be rewritten but WHY? Not logical to me.

copterrichie

Maybe a little off the MultiWii topic but very interesting development in the 32bit arena.

Personally, I have always used this double-sided vibration reduction tape for mounting my FC's, works very good. There is a newer process that uses the same mounting rubber balls used on camera gimbals that I would like to give a try.

This stuff is cheap, so I use it generously.

Have anyone successfully used Eclipse to edit and compile the code?

thanks in advance.

copterrichie

The really SAD issue here, there is no COLLABORATION aka, working together for a common cause. This Project is dead and ever sadder, this is spreading to the main MWC code as well.

copterrichie

Again the stuff with the RasPi development and supposed ideas that you gave? Now you can develop it... go for it ... ohhh no ! you´r prety much busy playing with the camera and waiting for the frames to arrive the FPV time lapse What was it after all? You have sent me a PM yesterday and deleted it ...

copterrichie

Classic!! LOL

As for the GUI, it was originally the MWC GUI. So by rights, it is Open Source.

copterrichie

I wonder why. Is it to prevent feeding commercial products with code or is it going to be "pay per view" in the future? Anyway thanks must go to kataventos for carrying his project so far on an open basis! Well, it seems to be the general trend now, everyone is out for themselves. I find ...

copterrichie

Had to happen sooner or later. Ha.

copterrichie

This is great in my opinion. If my memory serves me right, when the MP6050 was added to the MWC, this information was not available. Times have changed

Kudos..

copterrichie

Not that I am in the market to purchase one of these, just researching what is available out there at a very cheap price. Here is one that I find interesting however it would require some sort of I2C-ESC to function as a flight controller. MiniAHRS 6DOF STM32+MPU6050 Gyroscope Acceleration 6-axis Po...

Controlling a Bicopter is no different then controlling another other RC device. MWC has a serial control feature and you will need a bluetooth device connected to the serial port and providing your phone has bluetooth, that is all that is required hardware wise. I have not tested it however, http:/...

copterrichie

The mindset here is to compete not collaborate.

compete: strive to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others who are trying to do the same

collaborate: work jointly on an activity, esp. to produce or create something

That is all.

copterrichie

The problem is and have been from the onset, people using this mixing are JUDGING it by their own uniquely built copter and their INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL PERCEPTIONS. To say that there is a bug in this Y4 mix is to state that all Y4 configurations are the same and that is just not true. MWC now have a p...

If anyone is interested, personally, I just could not past this one up.

There are three maybe for threads on Fuzzy Logic, I think it would be helpful to consolidate them into one.

Here is some information on Fuzzy Logic used on arduino: http://zerokol.com/post/51e9324ee84c55a1f5000007/1/en

copterrichie

How are you defining "pretty crazy yoyo effects"? To me, that would indicate Throttle Curve requires adjusting.

copterrichie

Well, lets assume I wanted to play with this fuzzy logic, where would I find the library (Include files)

copterrichie

I think it would be helpful to post more information to the fuzzy library. I did a search for fuzzy logic and returned this wikipedia page: m that I find very interesting. Many years ago, I did some development work with Expert Systems so this appears to be something I might take some interest in. T...

copterrichie

Just my two cents here, Wifi and the new 802.11ac is the way this should be headed. As stated above, there are many issues with BT which was never designed for range for the onset.

A layperson does not know this but I digress.

copterrichie

Is there a possibility for adding Network TCP/IP support to this BaseFlight Configurator?

Thanks

copterrichie

Have you tried calibrating the ACC?

copterrichie

Just a follow-up question, does this happens in bother acro and angle modes?

copterrichie

Just curious, using the GUI and applying throttle, do all four motors increase at the same rate?

thanks.

Please, just a point of clarity, this is only for the Mega and not for the AT328? In other words, this only applies to the Mega 1280/2560 boards only?

Thank you.

copterrichie

@uscSeniorDesign, that is fairly low power Wifi but interesting. Hope you will share some video soon.

copterrichie

Haha that's a surprisingly common response that I've found. I'm thinking of going for the already flashed simonk ESC from HK but wanting to see what I can do with what I already have first. that would greatly depend, some have the old version and prone to problems. You may end up having to re-flash...

They did NEVER use signal strength to measure distance. I never stated they used signal strength to measure distance, how did you come to that conclusion? I was implying, they were able to find their way home using a RADIO beacon or some sort. I know beacons are used in naval navigation all the tim...

copterrichie

@Crashpilot1000, I really don't see anything that would prevent it from working. Just ask some of the pilots of WW2 how they made it home flying without GPS. I am amazed at the things that could be done but are not because of box thinking.

copterrichie

Plus the cost of a mega 2560 with 10 degrees of freedom sensors is just dirt cheap. There is just no reason to continue the 328p development.

copterrichie

I used a duemilanove with a shield like the one shown in the link below in my early days. Worked very well.

copterrichie

I really like the idea of using signal strength to determine location. Is there a way for someone to follow your development on this topic?

Thank you.

A few steps closer to having an HD Video Copter. In this test, it shows minor latency issues that I believe to me related to network errors. I have allowed this test to run for some four hours and this error only occurred a few times. Not focusing upon the negative here but pointing, there is much w...

Surprised, I'd have expected the Raspbian clutter to be new enough, maybe it's missing the vala-introspection stuff. I'll upload a workaround later. I've run it on a RPi( Arch, not Debian); however as it has to use software rendering (vice on-GPU OpenGL), it is extremely (tediously) slow.I guess yo...

copterrichie

Thank you. I will test this on my Raspberry Pi ASAP.

copterrichie

Many have turned to using a Gimble Stabilizing system however, I believe it is still better to have a very stable copter first. Because most copters using MWC are unique, there is no standardized procedure for tuning based upon what I have observed, other than lots of trial and error testing.

Just an FYI, found this one up on ebay: m STM32F103 DIP40 - These is an easy-to-use module for embedded development, built on the basis of modern ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontroller STM32F103C8T6.

But this requires the usage of a channel and with a six channels RX, that is a precious commodity!

copterrichie

I have not personally used this one but reading over the specs, makes it a better candidate to use with MWC because it is 5 volts verse 3.3 volts as the previous one posted.

Just a little heads up on the HyperTAB 7" Google Android, the one that I received, the battery seems to be small. Meaning the battery life is short about an hour to hour 1/2 with wifi enabled. There is a reason why they are only 50 bucks.

Here are a few pictures of my Raspberry Pi HD FPV ground station. It is very close to its final configuration, what is undecided is the usage of an access-point or a USB dongle. I may use both configuration, the dongle for for range. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/266727/Pictures/Builds/PiCopte...
