I am experiencing the same problem. I suspected either the PWM timing (maybe go for the 400Hz update rate that was implemented recently) or the low voltage cutoff that kicks in at higher voltages for some ESCs than for others. The latter appears to be more probable, as the problem seems to go away w...

There is also the possibility of experiencing low lift due to vibrations on the sensors. But in your case with the 750kv motors I would try larger props first.

Wouldn't it be good to set home with the first arming of the motors?
That way no additional step is required and the arming is usually done at the launch point.

Nice job, ronco! Thanks for sharing. If I wouldn't have a bunch of Prominis lying around, I would go for it right away. Some people would maybe not have connected all the + from the ESCs together. For myself it has always worked this way, but others suspect there might be interference between the vo...

To use WMP leave all other gyro sensors commented.

Hi Patrik, has the Airplane Mod actually made it into the "official" branch? If yes, I would not want to put any effort into any GUI changes now, as the new pretty GUI is being launched (soon?). Once that is available we could set up a general purpose servo mid and travel setup in it, also...

I have some changes comming for easier setup of the servos.( Not finnished yet) It will look like this.. /* Servosettings Test */ static int16_t servoMid[8] = {1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500,1500}; // Midpoint on servo static int16_t servotravel[8] = {100,100,100,100,100,100,100,100}; // Servot...

SUCCESS !! Temperatures climbed to -5°C today and I dared make a test flight. As it was the first flight for the plane, I flew around in passthrough mode first, some trimming, etc. It is a crisp day, not much wind, but as the site is surrounded by trees, there is almost always turbulence. Then the m...

Lol, makes me want to go down to the basement and

IMMEDIATELY

build a swarm of tiny MWCs. Unfortunately, the ones in the video don't seem to be autonomous, so my ones would crash into each other happily like lemmings over the cliff.

OK, fixed D9,had a short in my Promini-WMP package. I have added a set of defines for the servo min,Max,mid,reverse and a function mapping the full input range to the constrained output range. I had a lot of gyro noise on roll, added a low pass and balanced the prop, but have to test the result yet....

Hi Patrik, I have thrown the parts of the Reaktor together with some glue and a minimalistic MultiWii. After lengthy setup of the gyro orientation (item is sticking to the side of the plane in an upright orientation) stabilization works fine on the bench. Everything is moving to the right direction....

Wow, I have never seen such a vast resonance to a single post!
Looks like you hit a sweet spot here!

Reaktor?.. the small EPP?.. I think it will be qite heavy with the Wii stuff on. I'd think a Promini w/ WMP and connectors should end up < 10 g. With a total weight of maybe 250 g I consider that acceptable. I use a small Beast 3D, and the gyro makes itusable in moderate gusts. I hope the same of t...

Great job, Patrick!

I volunteer for testing it on a HK Reaktor. I noticed the previous version would work only with a PPM receiver. What about this one?
However, first I will have to replace my WMP clone with a working one.

Hi tovrin, Looks pretty nice to me, although it doesn't tellus anything about the absolute orientation of the sensors. For the orientation test look in the faq section at multiwii.com. However, the relative orientation seems ok. The phase shift ist quite normal, as the gyro measures the angular velo...
