Online Configuration Tool

Post by PatrikE »

I have updated and modified the existing opensource online Configuration tool.

It's up to date with
*MultiWii release 2.0
*MultiWii release 2.1

I will try to keep it updated to match comming Public Releases

The Configuration tool is meant to create a Basic setup suitable for most users.

Not all settings is available in the Configuration tool but is included in the generated code.
Advanced users can tweak the code as usual.

I hope it will be useful for all users.

Very good you bring this back to live for beginners at MultiWii.

Maybe its a good idea to give some more explanation to some parts.
When I think like a MultiWii beginner some things are difficult to understand.
For example:
- inflight callibration: place a link to the description.
- Special receiver types Spektrum: when you use satellite only.
- Level Pdf: place a link to the description.

I suggest adding tooltips to every option to explain what it is good for

Tooltips can include images to make it even easier to understand...

maybe better compile the tooltips info in one file? might come in handy for the manual configgers as well? We got no documentation effort to waste.

Or a "V-Bat Tool" who do it for you?
"V-Bat CalculatorTool"

I made a php-script to test with.
If it seems OK i can include it in the configurator.

Please test it..

Hi,

I made for a time ago an Excel sheet for calculating VBATLEVEL 1/2/3 depending of the Lipo voltage and VBATSCALE.
It works for me.
I must adjust the values of VBATLEVEL with a regulated power supply connected at Batt input and change the values not more of one digit.
That is the consequence of the components tolerance.

You can find enclosed my .xls

I have added a VBatscale calculator in the page. (Needs to be tested IRL)

I also added Tooltips but i need more input on what to inform about in the tool.
It can be irritating with to much popup Tips flying around.
