i put together a Paris v4 board with arduino mini pro 328 5v, wm+ and nk. im using a CC 10A bec, 30a plush esc and D2830-11 1100kv Brushless Motors.
Couple Questions
1. noticed today it builds up a drift to the left and back after awhile(in acc mode). i have to land and recal the gyro. any fix for this? is this a ACC thing?
2. noticed another thing. when i go to cal the ACC (from TX or software) sometimes the board locks up and the activity LED stays on. is there a special way to cal it correctly?
3. should i set thee MAXTHROTTLE in the code to the max throttle i have in the gui? (1905)
4. The quad rotates very slow. what should i adjust the YAW to? how to big of an increment should i make? 0.2 or 2? how do the values correspond to the speed? which column would i adjust?
5. do you have to do a tx cal for gyro and acc everytime you plug in a lipo or just have to do a tx cal for the gyro only?
I attached a screen shot of my GUI. Thanks for the help.
Im so confused!! noob quad help.

I dont know this board but you need to repost this in the getting started section this section is current dev and bugs ! Just letting you know and you will probably get quicker response in other section !

Had the same problem on my early quads. Then I replaced the NC with a BMA020 from ELV and all problems were gone.

Set YAW RATE to 0.7 - it's way faster.

Do the ACC calibration in the GUI. You can fine-trim it in the field with the stick-combinations.
The GYRO is calibrated automatically every time you plug in the Lipo. So don't move the quad for a few seconds.

i dont want it too fast. just a little quicker. would 0.4 be good?

is the bma180 just as good?
