Crius SE v2.0 Issue?

Post by brettwal »

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have two tricopters. One has the new Crius SE V2.0 from RCTimer with the MPU6050. The other has an older Crius SE with an ITG3205 three-axis digital gyroscope and BMA180 triaxial accelerometer. Both copters have been built for a while and are tuned and normally fly fine. I take the copters up to altitude in Level mode (or whatever we are calling it now in 2.2) accelerometer on. Then I switch to gyro only and do various flips, rolls and aggressive flying. Then I switch back to accelerometer on to land or regain control :-) When I do this on the older Crius SE all is fine. When I try this on the new Crius V2.0, as soon as I turn the acelerometer back on, the copter immeadiately tilts at a sharp angle and darts of in that direction. Its like the board loses orientation and the acelerometer is no longer calibrated. Any ideas?

One thing I can think of is that you have a bad sensor.

I don't think so. I can leave it in Angle mode and and do whaterver and its fine. Baro On or Off, same for MAG. Only issue is switching back to Angle mode after flips/rolls with it off.

No GPS on this Tri. Again, only happens on the new Crius SE w/ the 6050 MPU.
