What firmware ?!?!

Post by CopterFLY »

What firmware to be used for a CRIUS AIO Pro v2, MegapirateNG or MultiWii v2.4 ?

Any advantage one over the other ?

In MultiWii v2.4 I don't see the version for this flying board in the list, it says only //#define CRIUS_AIO_PRO ?

I've never used megapirate but I think the main difference used to be that MP was doing GPS and MW wasn't. That has since been remedied. There might be other things as well, but like I said I've never used the MP. I was reading some of the old MPNG threads and it looks like MPNG was ported from Arducopter and snippets of the code there resembled Multiwii.
Here's a link to the MPNG set up guide for your FC.

I believe that MPNG offers more motor configurations than MW.
I personally would avoid MPNG due to the fact that waypoint missions don't seem to be supported and they are in MW2.4.
Looks like MPNG is going the way of the dinosaur and MW probably soon to follow with all the 32 bit stuff coming out that uses Baseflight or Cleanflight.

Hi Kbev, that's the point.

I read Crius AIO can load waypoints through MISSION PLANNER software once MEGAPIRATE is flashed into the board.

Like I said, I didn't know that much about MPNG, so I wasted my time trying to help. I thought you were clueless or something. Silly stupid me. That one link about Multiwii not having complete waypoint support is really old and no longer true. I guess you go with the one you like best, which seems to boil down to which GUI do you like best, because for my purposes they both work about the same. You may disagree and have all kinds of benefits of MPNG over MW, I don't know. It looks like to me that obviously you know more about it than I do, so my opinions are worthless and I am now going to go away and maybe find another post where I can actually help out.
