Y6 X8 Mixer table: how to add 10% RPM

Post by Quad FRITZ »

Hello-

I would love to have the lower prop level in an y6 or x8 configuration rotating faster (about 10%) to get a better efficiency.
I already had a look at the mixing table (MW 2.2). It makes sense to me but I am not absolutely sure how to add the needed 10% code wise. :shock:
Would be great if somebody could help me here.

Btw.: anybody having experience here- I.e. bigger Props upper or lower level, different RPM, different Prop types (e.g. E- Props and APC)?

Thanks a lot
Roman

you can try this simple mod for Y6 for instance:
motor[0] = PIDMIX(+0,+4/3,+1); //REAR
motor[1] = PIDMIX(-1,-2/3,-1); //RIGHT
motor[2] = PIDMIX(+1,-2/3,-1); //LEFT
motor[3] = 1.1*PIDMIX(+0,+4/3,-1); //UNDER_REAR
motor[4] = 1.1*PIDMIX(-1,-2/3,+1); //UNDER_RIGHT
motor[5] = 1.1*PIDMIX(+1,-2/3,+1); //UNDER_LEFT
not the cleanest or accurate way, but it should give some results if you want to test

And you can use MY.PRIVATE.MIXING feature to avoid rewriting output.ino for each new version.
Documentation is in the wiki
