I am building a small drone HEX6X with brushed motors, Arduino Pro Mini 3.3v, GY-86 sensor.
Some time ago, I read that MultiWii supports Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V 8MHz, but in this forum I saw patches MultiWii v 2.0 for 8MHz.
Tthe my little drone seems to work, it flies and remains flat, it responds to commands but I have some problems of sensitivity and drift.
I am confused, MultiWii support Arduino Pro Mini 8MHz?
There is a recent version?
Thanks for the answers.
Arduino Pro Mini 8Mhz
Re: Arduino Pro Mini 8Mhz
The drift can't be compensated and the sensitivity may be improved by PID tuning.zamby.ing wrote:but I have some problems of sensitivity and drift.
Actually Multiwii does not support 8MHz, it supports Promini, Promicro and Mega - all @16MHz. That's due to the timings (Rx, Tx, Pwm,...) which are based upon 16Mhz. Of course, you can patch the source code.zamby.ing wrote:I am confused, MultiWii support Arduino Pro Mini 8MHz?
Since 8MHz will increase the loop time from 3ms to 6ms I don't recommend to do so. Buy a cheap new Promini @16MHz or - if you intend to make use of the newest Gps functions like navigation - get a Mega.
Re: Arduino Pro Mini 8Mhz
Ok. Thanks for the reply. The documentation is not exactly correct. I will buy the 16 mhz, but I'll have to add a step-up to 5V. For the GPS function is mandatory Arduino mega?

A Promini is sufficient for the functions POSITION HOLD and RETURN TO HOME.zamby.ing wrote:For the GPS function is mandatory Arduino mega?
A Mega is required for the new waypoint navigation.
