Hi! First, thank you for your great app. Now i would like to know wich rom i should use with my Samsung i5800. What i have tried: **Froyo** Kyrillos'_rom_v9.7_JPU_NON-OC -Able to download and run your app via Google Play -Not able to use the map and waypoint features, requires google play services u...

hi, for acromode nothing needs to be checked. If you have not assigned any other modes to your aux channels, you are in acro, its the standart mode. Btw. wiki now contains the sensor direction for each sensor to check if axis are working the required way -> m Have a look at sensor calibration for th...

Hiho lasp,
glad i could help you.

Looking forward to hear about your results.

Hi, did you follow the magnetometer calibration routine as mentioned in the wiki? -> m It seems your calibration went wrong. Once its calibrated, think of shielding it if you still get an offset at powering your motors. I do not know your board, but you may check the orientation by comparing to this...

Noctaro

I think it was implemented from BradWii project. Its a autotuning function for PID as far as i know, but i dont know if it works already.

Hi! Thank you for the informations I just cant imagine cm/sec as well as km/h. But indeed thats not a need, as its quite easy to calculate. Great if connecting navigation speed to sat receipton would work. Also kind of a nice safety feature i think, maybe it should be a define like Failsafe. Greetz ...

Noctaro

EOSBandi, that rocks! Looking forward to test your nav feature. (As soon as my ordered OSD, and BT-module arrives.) Thank you for your great ideas and conversions! Nice trailer! Keep it up dude! Your copter seems to behave very predictable, i like this. Could there be a way to calculate and set the...

Noctaro

Hi, first you need to set trim in acro mode. Setting trims on your transmitter is the same as setting your outputs for example roll to lets say 1480 in your code. It will "trim "the copter to roll more left. It will be hard to get your copter trimmed out without having any input. You may t...

Noctaro

Ahhh, i did not know about the voltage regulator issue. That may also be a good catch. Of course the shortcut still is an option. But now, i also think it has to do with voltage drop, as it would explain the fade effect. I dont think anything died, because after reset it was back to normal.(even wit...

Noctaro

hey sky! Thanks for your answer. So you think it was a short on the serial? You may be right, i also had this in mind. But the fade out effect was weird... Arent most of our components made in deepest china? For sure there are differences in quality control. Wich hardware do you prefer instead? Gree...

Noctaro

Just for fun. Some old captures.

Some design update:

Hope you like it.

Hey people, last flight was a bit unexpected. Testing my quad with my new Graupner Props (yay), i was really happy to see how much power i gained, as suddenly my OSD began to fade out. I decided to fly home, land and check. Around 20 secounds later.....Pew pew, midair reset....FC was restarting, OSD...

Hi again, some news. I started GUI within processing and could track following errors, as soon as my problem occurs.

Noctaro

Hi all, i have got a very disturbing problem in WIN 7. It seems i came closer to its revealing thanks to new GUI release included in 2.3. Problem: I tried to connect my 2 different FCs using a external programmer-device and using its internal-usb-programmer (of course not at the same time). Connecti...

Noctaro

Hey, i dont know if i got you right. But if you check an AUX port for arming, you have to use the corresponding AUX switch on your rc for arming procedure. If your RC does not have a AUX3 port(for example channel 5-9 on your RC TX/RX) or its not connected to your FC , your microcontroller will keep ...

Noctaro

Ahahaha, thats great! It realy looks like big fun. I always swet if i do some close flight with my 40cm quad, its impact is quite hard if i fail. Nothing to matter with this qtpie. Nice piloting skills btw. How is stability? Did you crash it already? What range can you go? 10mw 5.8 ghz fpv tx? I m s...

Noctaro

Hi, i did 4 (Quad-X) testflights with the new dev for now. GPS Pos hold works fine for me. Circles aorund 1-2m position with 9 sats. (FFimuV2 + MTK GPS) But RTH. -> linuxslate: GPS RTH was all over the sky the one time I tried it. In my previous FSW (Slightly customized 2.2), I had set the nav rate ...

New Quadcopter design in progress It was inspired by teslaheds design! I like this design idea! Btw. teslahed, if you read this, have to say i was quite impressed by your video. Your copter behaves great! Looking forward to some onboard captures! Enough talking, picture does the explaination http://...

Noctaro

Hey, intresting, i had the same idea without reading javiers post. It happened to me as i opened up my laptop for cleaning. There is also a alu foil on the case with connection to gnd. With my basic understanding of shielding it made perfect sense. I know shielding is very important for nice data tr...

Noctaro

Hi,
are you sure, you mounted your props the right way? It happened to me also one time. Same behaviour as you describe. I just did attach my props the wrong way.
In Multiwii GUI, is your yaw acting as it should?

Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Hi nicholas. Yes i think of a mag problem. The cause is i ran into similar troubles again and again, until i did the advanced mag calibration. My copter would fly away on GPS, or do some unpredictable spins in levelmode. There is one test for your MAG i forgot to mention. Connect your copter to GUI....

Noctaro

Hi, first what i mean by do not connect usb and esc at the same time is, usb supplies around 200ma and your esc around 1000-3000ma... I am not sure about, but i have got in mind that it could damage your hardware. Possibility is to remove the 5v pin from your programmer or usbcable. Again, i am not ...

Noctaro

Hey, i had a similar problem some days ago. I took off and made my rounds, everything worked fine. Suddenly my OSD GPS data seemed to freeze. KV OSD was still working, but distance to home would not change anymore, and the direction arrow also negated to work. 8 sats present. Virtual horizont and ba...

Noctaro

Hey, when it comes to acro trim, just takeoff in acromode and use the trims of your transmitter to correct any constant drift. If this is done, levelmode is ready for being trimmed via stick commands. FIRST get acromode(gyro only) working perfect. As tovrin mentioned, levelmode (accrelometer) also m...

Noctaro

hi nicholas, are you using frsky? At most frsky rx units you have to enable failsafe, or it will continue to send the last recieved command. Other RX may have a similar funtion. This was happening to me after i moded my MX-16 with frsky hacking module. No failsafe until i reprogrammed my RX to enabl...

Noctaro

Hi, i think so, if you set PID per KV OSD they are not stored until you hit eeprom write, but still are used until next reboot.
Greetz Noc

Noctaro

You are welcome. I know documentaion is still under development.
Sooo much great ideas, a lot of clever software developers here. No big manual writers.

But once you get used to Multiwii, you know that most answers are found in the depths of this forum

Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Hey, this sounds like magnetometer problem. Yes powerwires may induce errors, also other electronic stuff like VTX/Cam could diturb it. There is an easy way to be sure if it is the problem. Connect your copter to the gui and throttle up. Look at the mag, if it starts to move, only by throttle, there...

Noctaro

hi,
i think it depends to your needs.
multirotor is more limited. drone includes the whole spectrum of our air vehicles. As a plane or a normal helicopter also may be a drone.
Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Hey! First, wich mode are we talking of? I guess levelmode, right? Do you know you have to trim your vehicle in acro mode using your transmiter trims? These trims should be stored in your transmiter. As it goes to levelmode, the stick combinations will only make sense if you correct set your acromod...

Noctaro

hey ardot, multiwii 1.9 is quite outdated. Try to figure out wich sensors your board uses. Then go to the multiwii code repository and get multiwii 2.2 or above if you would like to use development stage software. Multiwii 2.2 was the last mainrelease. If you have downloaded the sketch, edit your co...

Noctaro

Hi, first, what hardware do you use? There is an option in the "config.h" where you can exchange all axis of your sensors. Search for "sensor orientation" in the mentioned file, this will take you to the right place. You may exchange your axis, by swapping xyz, or just reverse ho...

Noctaro

Hey guys, i thought about my prop and motor balancing options. I love the dynbalance feature. But you know what, it would be great to have some sliders to mark your min & max vibration per motor on GUI. For now i took some different colors of sticky tape and put it on my monitor, not my favourit...

Hi nIcholas,
did you have a lookt at the multiwii wiki?

Hey dramida,
nice filming there, lots of details in your captures. I guess u lift a heavy cam? Your copter seems to behave quite brave. Keep it up!

btw. still on dev r1555, will test new release as soon as possible.

Hey KV, i am serious about what i said, that pans are smooth and you get the right POV in the landscapes, that just impressed me. I am excited about your new frame and understand your hardware problem. My copter is also close to its limits, with strong wind (around 30km/h~60km/h) it is flyable, but ...

Hey KV, thats impressive! For real! Just need to get rid of that tearing and this is some of the best footage i have seen so far. Keep it up!

Did you use a anti-vibration mount on the gimbal?
Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Did you try to increase I?
It seems quite low.

Greetz Noc

Noctaro

great

Noctaro

Hey, you could also try to do another calibration routine and set mag declination as mentioned here -> http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php? ... alibration

Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Hey,
try to place your wires away from mag. Shield your wires (f.e. take some networking cable, rip it and put your powerwires in the shield, connect the wire shield to gnd for additional filtering)

How did you calibrate mag?

Hope that helped a bit.

Greetz Noc

Noctaro

Hey all! I tested the new def release on my quad-x and for now, it does exactly what it should. If i turn it by handforce, it will recover to desired position. (Of course tested in acro mode without active mag) The only thing i expirienced for now was a bit of yaw overshoot, but i did not do any PID...

Hi there, and thank you Alex for your answer, now i do understand why this yaw bahaviour happened to me But i have a further question. Alex.K. (you) recommended me to play with the "I- limit" value. That sounds a bit scary to me. Isnt there a way to ignore "I-Windup" before leavi...
