I've got my quad fairly well set up now and it's flying quite well, but I'm having trouble with getting a nice clean YAW.
When I attempt to YAW, rather than spinning on the spot, or even ROUGHLY on the spot, it gains or loses altitude and veers off. I can make little YAW corrections when I'm flyign nose out, but any decent steering ends up going all over the place.
Running MW2.3 on a NanoWii with mag switched on.
The mag is well calibrated and holds heading very well when moving about nose out.
The sensors are all well vibration damped and positioned nicely central to my HJ Alien frame. Power cables are a good distance from the MAG as well.
Anyone have any clues as to what's going wrong here?
Unstable when YAWing
Re: Unstable when YAWing
To satisfy myself, I took my Quad and laptop outside away from anything metal and recalibrated my MAG. I also checked that the readings were correct and seems fine.
I take off to about waist height, and give the YAW a little nudge and it slowly turns both ways.
But if I give the YAW a larger input, by thrusting it about halfway then all I get is a motor roar and no rotation. It looks for all the world like the heading hold is fighting against my YAW instructions.
Curious!
