Help with Multiwii GUI Ver 2.1

Post by Vortex »

I am new to Multiwii and have been fortunate to have a friend get me started but I am not sure what all the different options do in the GUI config program. Is there a manual or a guide online for Ver 2.1 somewhere??

Thanks,

Lance

Most options are documented in the main site multiwii.com
other info are available in the self growing wiki : multiwii.com/wiki

spend some time reading through the forum, what you want is easily available, but your not looking in the right places yet, because you are rather new. config.h is where you want to start, as you come across something you havent seen before there do a forum search for it, and you will learn.

as this is a very open source community based project, a lot of the documentation is spread across the forum, and sometimes advanced search options are needed to find exactly what your looking for.

if you have specific questions, please make sure you elaborate your query as specifically as you can, use pictures and details as much as possible, and (especially in this case) make sure you post in the appropriate forum (for example, this should have been in the getting started section, not the software forum of the 32 bit section.)

Hi

I won´t open a new thread, so I write in this one.

I have a strange problem with the update I´ve done from MW 2.0 to MW 2.1
The horizont of the roll and pitch aren´t in level after pushing the Calib ACC button.
There´s also exactly ONE I2C-Error... but the copter flies.

What could be the reason for this ??
The copter only have a WMP and a BMA020 on it..

I also get exactly one I2C error with a BMA020 , but since it occurs at startup I've assumed it
has something to do with the initial I2C handshaking and ignored it. Whatever causes it , I don't
have any sensor performance problems. And I never had this error on the older versions.

I just did a search on BMA020 and I see this was discussed and considered a non-issue about
2 months ago.
