Hi, i don't know if in someway it can be accomplished with the current version... But i have installed everything tied up all cables and protected the FC in the middle... It's SO DIFFICULT, if for any reason i need to do a dynamic balance!!!! If only i had the option to turn off individual motors/outputs (like check box from the GUI)... Would that be possible/easy to include?


A big thanks to multiwii developers/community !!!!!!

What do you mean by "dynamic balance"? Multiwii is balancing the copter at least in stable mode roughly 300 times a second automatically. Do you think to be faster and better by switching the motors on and off manually?
Where is actually your problem?

Too late. Patrik has done eork on that already.
You can expect to find it in dev and next release I think.

I believe he is talking about balancing the motors themselves. This requires you to run one motor at a time and he does not want to go through the trouble of disconnecting the other motors to do this.
