right now I'm changing a lot in EZ-GUI. I want that all views look the same on different screens because right now it only looks good in WVGA800.
Probably tomorrow I release the update and after that I will look at 4.2 compatibility. Right now it is compiled for Android 4.1.

I have one question. What do you want to be displayed on Map, because Battery voltage and powerSum/powerTrigger are not very useful as a lot of people don't use it at all.

Bart


I don't use map, yet as I don't have a gps enabled multiwii... yet, it's in the mail. For me on the map I think # of Satellites and Altitude would be very useful. Or at least the perceived strength of the gps signal.

Thanks
Andrew

Please include altitude (baro and gps) in map view.

Thank you,

Finally I fixed scaling!
So from now everything should look the same regardless screen size.
Also information displayed on online map has been changed.

Please let me know it these changes works for you.

(update will be available in next few hours)

Bad weather, will not be able to do flight test next few days.

Just checking the out the update, I noticed that the home position and the "you" position stays in South Africa at the Gulf of Guinea. I tried recalibrate acc, to reset home position, but it does not change in the map view. I think the EZ GUI is still reading the phone GPS correctly since map view reverts to my actual location. It also shows the correct location of the copter once it has gps lock.

Image

One more minor thing. I hope the red dot that shows the copter location be reverted to the original size. Here, where I fly, the location is very accurate. Example, I can tell where on a park table (center, left side, right side, etc) the copter is on with the origial red dot. With the larger dot, it covers the whole table.

Thanks for including the altitude. I can now probably fly using the map view. But also return the voltage as already mentioned.

I was able to hook up a bluetooth to the FrSky DHT transmitter module using rs232 to ttl converter and TX/RX RSSI and A1 is showing up in the EZ GUI. Nice!

At start up when program doesn't know the copter or phone position it display it at latitude =0 and longitude=0 so this is normal.

Yes it's shown up and now been installed on my Nexus 7.... funny thing thou, searching for "multiwii" doesn't bring it up in the Play store, I had to search for "ez-gui"... looks great, didn't have an opportunity to connect it to my multiwii yet, but did check out all the screens, lookin good.

Hello,

This EZ-GUI "follow me" feature sounds really interesting. However I do not have Android mobile or tablet PC yet. EZ-GUI seems a good reason to go and get one :D
I would like to know more in details about the EZ-GUI before I go and buy a Android based stuff and start banging my head on a wall because I missed something.. Can you please elaborate what else do I need in addition to basic set of multicopter based on MultiWii FC + I2C GPS? XBee or BT or something else is needed to transmit the data?
Also when I'm using I2C GPS in binary more does the "follow me" feature need any tweaking in MultiWii FC code side to get it running (or does it work with I2C GPS with binary more)?
Does the EZ-GUI have any FC raw data logging/playback possibilities? Win GUI has this but it is pretty difficult to use and understand.. :roll:
What transmission should be used between EZ-GUI and copter, XBee or BT or something else?

Thanks in advance,
Janne

Hi
Here I put my MW code that I'm using with CRUIS SE board.

https://github.com/eziosoft/MultiWii1240Frsky

added features:
-Frsky telemetry
-Frsky telemetry extended (pich and roll added, works only with EZ-GUI)
-change serial baudrate to 9600 and enable Frsky telemetry by pressing a button in EZ-GUI (button will be available in "Other" from the version 2.91.45 - you can check the app version in "Raw Data" view)

I have made couple of changes ie.
-two new commands are added to serial protocol (MSP_SET_SERIAL_BAUDRATE and MSP_ENABLE_FRSKY)
-Frysky telemetry added (modifications in MultiWii.ino, config.h, Frsky.ino)

I will try to keep this version up to date and compatible with EZ-GUI.

Bart

That is really nice. How does it work? We connect the BT device inside the Radio transmitter with frsky module? And the rx-tx ports of the radio receiver on the copter are connected on a free serial from FC@ 9600baud

Yes you have to connect Multiwii tx to rx of frsky reciever via level converter (like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-pcsxMini-RS23 ... 3ccc827e13)

and the same in radio transmitter also via level converter to bluetooth module.

also you need MultiWii with Frsky telemetry support. You can use my version from here: https://github.com/eziosoft/MultiWii1240Frsky

Hi
you need only bluetooth module connected to MultiWii FC like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Serial ... 1e6bfcc921

Remember to change bluetooth baud rate to 115200 via AT command (see bluetooth module documentation, usually it is AT+BAUD....) You don't need any tweaking. Only you have to enable #define USE_MSP_WP in config.h

Follow me is not fully functional yet. It works but you have to switch return to home on and off to update the coordinates. I'm waiting for MW developers to change it.

Almost all data can be logged in EZ-GUI and save to sd card as text file (csv). And I will add soon possibility to convert this log into kml file for google earth.
You will be able to generate something like this:

Hi eizo, i really like your android aplication, it helped me so much these days.
What do you think about a feature like: put 3 secconds your finger on the Google map, enter an altitude, press execute, and the copter goes twards that point if you turn on "GPS Home"

One of my customers needs aerial photos each time from the same position. same altitude, to monitor the building progress.

Could that be more useful than follow me with curent implementation?

More or less, yes! Cool. The starting point pretty much nailed it. The direction is fine, it's just a bit wild, but it doesn't look like a csv to kml problem, more a data problem. I think the bluetooth range is to limited for that, next time i'll strap my phone on the copter.

I think it's enough to place this after the read() in case MSP_SET_WP:
GPS_set_next_wp(&GPS_home[LAT],&GPS_home[LON]);

Like this.

Code: Select all

      if (wp_no == 0) {
        GPS_home[LAT] = read32();
        GPS_home[LON] = read32();
        read32();                       // future: to set altitude
        read8();                        // future: to set nav flag
        GPS_set_next_wp(&GPS_home[LAT],&GPS_home[LON]);
      }

Can someone test and confirm?

But this will distroy the real RTH function!
It would be better to create temp_GPS_home position!

Every time RTH is activated it will return to home.
If wp_no 0 is recieved it will be used untill RTH is reactivated.

Temp pos alternative.

Code: Select all

     if (wp_no == 0) {
        int32_t   temp_LAT= read32();
        int32_t   temp_LON= read32();
        read32();                       // future: to set altitude

Bart, i like the new dashboard! Bigger text is better.

How about setting a new home on map and then navigating to it?

I made a mod on crius BT and i replaced the pcb antenna with a 30mm wire (lambda/4) and i had continous link until 174m with an galaxy s3. If i could use an external BT with the same antenna mod on a pillar , i bet the BT range would double at least.

Hi Dramida;

Do you have pictures of the mod? Did you just add the wire, or did you cut the trace to the pcb antenna?

I noticed an unusual behavior of EZ-GUI when in AP mode and GPS PH

Code: Select all

#define AP_MODE 20 // Create a deadspan for GPS.


When the copter is momentarily controlled by stick, the EZ-GUI behaves erratically by endless repeating GPS- ON GPS- OFF even if no stick input is given after an initial manual maneuver.

And but the way, what significance has 20 in the statement "AP_MODE 20" ? 20 us? 20 percent? It should be described as a comment nearby code.
