Controller feature questions

Post by Sidneyki »

Hello guys,
I have some question about controller board and which one I should get with the feature I would like to have.
My goal is to fly my electrohub quad via fpv with Osd that has autopilot, gps, rth/rtl, altitude hold.

I built my electrohub with the flip 1.5 but I did not get the altitude hold with it :?

I not sure the current controller I have is capable to have the features listed above?

Do I need to change to a different controller?

If so what controller has or can be added to have gps, alt hold, return to home, OSD, some kind of auto pilot feature.

Also if this controller is easy to setup/configure would be preferred,..

I sent an email to ready made quad four weeks ago and not able to get a responce from them with these questions.

I would appreciate all the help you can provide or clarification,..

Best regards
Sidney

Look for a FC with a Mega2560.
Ex the Flip Pro series.
The 328 based don't have enough memory to run the Full Gps code.

Patrik gave an advice about the micro controller.

Look here, what sensors are used for what purpose...

I do not understand completely Patrick.
Ex the flip pro series? What do you mean?

To look for a fc that has a mega2560 chip on the controller?

I apologize, I am a newbie and do not understand all the lingo or abravation.

The Flip 1.5 only have a MPU6050.
To get a workig setup with GPS functions you also need...
Compass , Baro and GPS.

The Mega2560 boards have 3 serialports and all sensors you need.
And will be future safe with more free memory than a small 328.

V2.4 will have Waypoints added and will only be available with a Mega board.

Short version.
Get

And
http://witespyquad.gostorego.com/flight ... plane.html

Then you will have a Copter with a futuresafe FC
It's all you need for RTH and Pos Hold.

Can you explain to me the different option on the order page for the fc?

Also does this order page include the GPS or do I have to add it separately?

Hope you can make out the details on the photo of check out page for the fc.
