APM 2.6 to run Multiwii ?
APM 2.6 to run Multiwii ?
Hi guys, I'm new to all this. I have the apm 2.6 and I want to know if I can use the MultiWii program to modify code and test different cofiguraciones for a quadricopter.

APM board uses SPI bus and MWii I2C.
Not compatible without adding SPI protocol in MWii.

There has been previous talk on this subject but few are willing to take on the task. I personally have not had the time but it is something I really would like to do.
for what it is worth, here is a demo link on accessing the MPU6000: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/find- ... u-v3-using

thanks for the info. I am interested and try to work it.
I have also seen the MegaPirateNG software, if I am not mistaken, MPNG works with apm and arduino. this may help me do it.

I am not sure of the MegaPirateNG have code to access the MPU-6000 but if it does, that would be an excellent source to port from.

There's no reason why mpng should work with apm, considering it's merely a direct port. No point in porting something that already exists in a better form.

Well, I think better is subjective. I think Multiwii is much easier to configure especially for a layperson.

I'm talking about porting the APM software to APM. Megapirate is nothing but a port of the APM software to non-APM boards.

I agree with your statement but was the code for the MPU-6000 ported? I personally looked at the APM code for the mpu-6000 and could not follow it.
