Converting my KK Tricopter to MultiWii controlled

Post by ilovefpv »

Any suggestions on converting my KK Tricopter to a MultiWii controlled? I like the configurability of the MultiWii plus I'd like to add the accelerometer for addition control.

I'm going to be doing this on a Arduino Uno - are there any shields out there which easily facilitate the servo connections?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Steve!

A friend of mine recently rebuilt his "dadde" Tricopter from KK to multiwii as he wanted more auto level features and he is very impressed whith Multiwii

A few weeks ago he was at my place where I did some demo of my Quad and Tricopters.
He will not turn back - that's for sure

UndCon,

That's one of the things which I'm thinking about doing with the MultiWii - convert my "dadde" Tricopter over to MultiWii...

What other features are enabled over and above the KK controllers. So far I understand:

* Auto-levelling (does this just hold altitute, or does it also hold position?)
* Highly configurable with the GUI

Thanks,

Steve
