MultiWii EZ-GUI

Nicksdesign · Post by **Nicksdesign** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 7:31 am

I tried the new dashboard 2 this afternoon. The display showed the artificial horizon 'instrument' face on the left and the usual text on the right. The other three instrument displays were absent.

However, please check the pitch data handling. Dashboard 1 showed -17* and Dashboard 2 showed -1*. My quad was sitting level at the time. Saddly, Dash 1 was what the FC thought was correct: bad crash.

EDIT: My appologies, I got this wrong. See my next post.

Hi, cm/s is the unit for vario.

I think a ymall indicator would be even more useful like print out the number.
Ie. a circle when vario is 0 (between +-5 cm/s for deadband), and draw an arrow over or under the circle if rising/descending.
Could be even put on map view...

Hi
I'm cooking something new. New Dashboard.
But I have another project going so you will have to wait for it.
Here is a sneak peek.

Can anyone explain me why people keep asking me when will be the update compatible with multiwii 2.2?

I have checked it and it works correctly.

Can anyone else confirm this ?

Ezio, my apologies for my bad information in my last post. I have re-looked, today, at both dashboard screens and both are consistent and appear correct.

But, I think the reason I was reading the display wrong is because that data labels are closer to the wrong value than they are to the correct value. For example, the Pitch label is closer to the roll value than it is to the pitch value and this leads me to automatically associate the Pitch label to the roll value even when I know the correct association. Any time I look briefly at the screen, I'm associating the label to the wrong value. Next time you are editing the Dashboard 2 code, consider increasing the spacing so the data label is closer to its data than the other label is.

That said, I really like the application and appreciate all of your hard work.

Ezio,

Good news to hear that the serial USB is working.
Just received my Crius AIO with GPS and ready to hook up the 3DR radio.
I'll be happy to test it.

... I truly love this piece of software and it helps me in many ways.
I take any update, but this might be the problem I have.
At this time I have a small issue with the graph-en display.
The only graph I can still see is the z-axis from the ACC.

Also PIDs send by eMail is not working for me,
have a Mail send but no PIDs inside,
but thats no real problem for me.

... and No, I have not forgotten to switch them on ;-)

I have just posted new version. should be available from google play in few hours.
Main change is USB Serial port support.
*Only FTDI chips are supported.
*No root required.
*Android version greater or equal to 3.1 (it will not work on 2.2, 2.3 etc (froyo))
*You have to have USB host and USB OTG cable.
Settings are in config.
I tested it on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and it works very good. and it is much faster then Bluetooth.
Application should automatically start when you plug your FTDI device in.

For those who can't (or don't have google play) wait here is the link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/80566205/MultiWiiEZGUI.apk

hello,
i've just installed the 3.30 version. When i launch the app, it stucks. Android says " unfortunately, MultiWii EZ-Gui has stopped. "
Trying several downloads to see if the app was broken or not, but i have the same message.

My phone : Xperia X8 under CyanogenMod Mini CM10 4.1.0 Shakira. Version android : 4.1.2.

The previous EZ-Gui version worked fine.

Could you please poste a 3.2 apk?

Merci d'avance.

Hi ezio,

Just tested your app with USB support.
I hooked a 3DR radio up to my Galaxy tab2 via the OTG cable and connection to the quad was just fine.
However when scrolling between the tabs I noticed the app stops responding and reports "MultiWii EZ-Gui has stopped".
Apart from that it is very nice to have the serial connection up and running

Very nice job indeed

Regards

At first thanks for cool project!!!

I tried 3DR connection today. It works but little bit unstable. Sometimes application just crashes and closed...
Probable it because Hyundai A7HD china device...

What setting you have for 3DR: air speed and baud rate?

upd: I changed refresh rate to 150ms in app and now it's little bit stable but have couple of crashes again...

Hi,

I tried on advent vega clone tablet (both 4.1 and 4.2 custom roms), I have HOST mode possibilities.
EZ-GUI writes that "Serial connected" but there is not any data transfer.
I tried with both 3DR and direct connection (tablet connected to my crius AIO pro).

Have you activated "Use serial Port for MultiWii" in settings? Also you have to setup your 3DRs for baud rate 115200 or change it everywhere, i.e. flight controller, 3DRs, EZ app...
Also after app run you have to press Connect, i.e. it's not done automatically after app starts...

Hi, yes, I did all of these settings.
The same 3DR modules works with wingui and mwi-gui too.
(I have normal USB socken on tablet so just plug the same cable as for PC...

)
My tablet can handle USB mouse, keyboard, pendrive, etc. so probably the HOST mode is active indeed.
Also, when cable is connected, EZ-GUI starts automatically. As I said, when I hit on Connect MWI, it writes "Serial connected" but no data transfer at all.

Why not ? I guess you are using an FTDI driver in your app ? If yes, that means I need a driver for the ATmega 32U4 ?

Hi guys,
Using the ez-gui for android (on Xperia X10 mini) with Multiwii SE V2.0 (328p) with MW2.2, with I2C GPS (the latest from the recommended link) and I'm trying to make the waypoint system work..

So far:
- Pos hold works great
- Return to home works back to the place it was armed.

However, when using the ez-gui/map, no matter what I do the 'set home' or 'set position hold' does not seem to affect the copter. I have uncommneted "#define USE_MSP_WP"

What I was expecting to happen.. is while it was flying i would tell it to return to home.. it would then hover over its position, then i would set a NEW home position somewhere else and it would fly over to it.. Is this meant to be possible? Because i can't seem to get it to do that unless I'm missing something!

Thanks, if this isn't the right place i'll make a new topic or something

Regards Giles

jrt4fun · Post by **jrt4fun** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:23 am

Giles,

I'm using the same board and I²C GPS setup.
When I saw the options on the app of Ezio I also wanted to give it a go with the WP via the map and ran into exactly the same issues.
Unfortunately it is not possible to use waypoints with an I²C setup, unless this has changed very recently (do correct me if I'm wrong)

I'm now putting a TBS frame together based upon a Crius AIO with serial GPS connection and 3DR radio.
Can't wait to get it tested with the EZ_GUI.

Regards,

Setting home position should work with GPS i2c.

Geebles · Post by **Geebles** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 1:39 pm

EDIT: I found this post: http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2965&start=160 Which deals with writing to the I2C_GPS "I2C_GPS_WP0" register to update that position! Will report my findings when I test it..

ezio wrote:Setting home position should work with GPS i2c.

Hi Ezio (and jrt4fun),

Thanks for your comments. Ok so if i set a new home position it should work? What I am doing is:

1. Arm and fly
2. Set to 'return to home'
3. Apply new home via ez-gui
4. Copter changes heading, but doesn't move towards it..

I've only recently used I2C, do you know where abouts the new waypoint (0 for home) is sent to the I2C module?

In Serial code:

Code: Select all

case MSP_SET_WP:
{
  int32_t lat = 0,lon = 0,alt = 0;
  uint8_t wp_no = read8();        //get the wp number
  lat = read32();
  lon = read32();
  alt = read32();                 // to set altitude (cm)
  read16();                       // future: to set heading (deg)
  read16();                       // future: to set time to stay (ms)
  read8();                        // future: to set nav flag
  if (wp_no == 0) {
    GPS_home[LAT] = lat;
    GPS_home[LON] = lon;
    f.GPS_HOME_MODE = 0;          // with this flag, GPS_set_next_wp will be called in the next loop -- OK with SERIAL GPS / OK with I2C GPS
    f.GPS_FIX_HOME  = 1;
    if (alt != 0) AltHold = alt;  // temporary implementation to test feature with apps
  } else if (wp_no == 16) {       // OK with SERIAL GPS  --  NOK for I2C GPS / needs more code dev in order to inject GPS coord inside I2C GPS
    GPS_hold[LAT] = lat;
    GPS_hold[LON] = lon;
    if (alt != 0) AltHold = alt;  // temporary implementation to test feature with apps
    #if !defined(I2C_GPS)
      nav_mode      = NAV_MODE_WP;
      GPS_set_next_wp(&GPS_hold[LAT],&GPS_hold[LON]);
    #endif
  }
}
headSerialReply(0);
break;

This looks to set "f.GPS_HOME_MODE = 0" which says it will run "GPS_set_next_wp"..

GPS_set_next_wp (from GPS code):

Code: Select all

void GPS_set_next_wp(int32_t* lat, int32_t* lon) {
  GPS_WP[LAT] = *lat;
  GPS_WP[LON] = *lon;
 
  GPS_calc_longitude_scaling(*lat);
  GPS_distance_cm_bearing(&GPS_coord[LAT],&GPS_coord[LON],&GPS_WP[LAT],&GPS_WP[LON],&wp_distance,&target_bearing);

  nav_bearing = target_bearing;
  GPS_calc_location_error(&GPS_WP[LAT],&GPS_WP[LON],&GPS_coord[LAT],&GPS_coord[LON]);
  original_target_bearing = target_bearing;
  waypoint_speed_gov = NAV_SPEED_MIN;
}

Does not seem to affect anything I2C GPS related..

Finding the GPS_HOME_MODE box in Multiwii.ino code:

Code: Select all

if (!f.GPS_HOME_MODE)  {
  f.GPS_HOME_MODE = 1;
  f.GPS_HOLD_MODE = 0;
  GPSNavReset = 0;
  #if defined(I2C_GPS)
    GPS_I2C_command(I2C_GPS_COMMAND_START_NAV,0);        //waypoint zero
  #else // SERIAL
    GPS_set_next_wp(&GPS_home[LAT],&GPS_home[LON]);
    nav_mode    = NAV_MODE_WP;
  #endif
}

Doesn't actually run 'GPS_set_next_wp' because of "#define I2C_GPS"

Looking at GPS_I2C_command (in GPS code):

Code: Select all

#if defined(I2C_GPS)
  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // I2C GPS helper functions
  //
  // Send a command to the I2C GPS module, first parameter command, second parameter wypoint number
  void GPS_I2C_command(uint8_t command, uint8_t wp) {
    uint8_t _cmd;
      
    _cmd = (wp << 4) + command;
    
    i2c_rep_start(I2C_GPS_ADDRESS<<1);
    i2c_write(I2C_GPS_COMMAND);
    i2c_write(_cmd);
  }
#endif

Again, I can't see where it is sending the new home position to the I2C module.. It looks to me (not expert in code) that it is just telling the I2C_GPS to navigate to waypoint 0 (home) but not actually setting it. I'm using the code with "March 2013 V2.2" in the header, can't find a patch/build number.. it was the stable from a week ago.

Could someone enlighten me please? I just can't find where the new position is sent to the I2C_GPS module to set a new home position!

Thanks for you help,
Regards Giles

ezio · Post by **ezio** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 3:22 pm

I haven't tested it since long time so I can be wrong.
As I remember you have to switch position hold off and on again then copter flies to new position. But I have never tested it with version 2.2

A request.

I've run into a situation today where my quad is yawing counter-clockwise for reasons I can't fathom. I tried turning on logging, using MultiWii EZ-GUI, but only to find, radio and motors numbers are not included in the logs. Please can we have this?

Thanks

Hello,
I was in kind of trap - EZ-GUI does not run on my Android 2.1 phone.
So, I modified it slightly. Now it requires Android 2.1+, but lost FDTI connectivity and Sherlock theme.

Hi,

I think you're right.
Currently, with an I2C GPS, it is not possible to alter HOME position or HOLD position via MSP.
It would require some updates for I2C device software and multiwii software.
I don't think it's complicated, but it's not yet available.

So currently only SERIAL GPS device can be used for this purpose.

I've run into a situation today where my quad is yawing counter-clockwise for reasons I can't fathom. I tried turning on logging, using MultiWii EZ-GUI, but only to find, radio and motors numbers are not included in the logs. Please can we have this?

Thanks
Andrew

EDIT: Also ARM'ed status would be helpful too!

Maybe in next month. I'm quite busy now

So, I modified it slightly. Now it requires Android 2.1+, but lost FDTI connectivity and Sherlock theme.
Author credits were not changed, and program will not go to markets.

Hello ezio

I have finished the translate to "Chinese Simplified" on http://translate.spout.org

Can you add it to your app?

Do I need to export the file and send to you?

Very thanks for your work.

Hello Ezio
Hello Alex

I have some suggestions about EZ GUI.

1) As the home position will be used as fallback, it should not be modified easily. But in the popup mean of map, “set as home” could be accidental hit. Can you move it to somewhere else? For example: a small button on the top left of the popup mean.

2) I’m using Bluetooth<->433Mhz <->MWC to implement the communication. I have to low down the baud rate to 9600 for a large range. But MWC serial protocol is an “ask and answer” mechanism. A lot of precious bandwidth was wasted in waiting.

Refresh rate for 100ms is impossible for 9600 baud rate. So I’m using 500 ms, it’s working. But I’m not satisfied with responses speed for the MWC states.

I have question for Ezio and Alex: Could we add a command, let MWC send its states continuously with a refresh rate? It will increase the performance of updating.

Mostly I removed any references to Sherlock (ICS-like) theme, i.e. SherlockActivity, SherlockActionBar etc. (if I remember those names correctly). Where is was needed, I changed them to standard Android classes. Also, I changed layout attributes to be acceptable for Android 2.1. FDTI support was removed, because there is no such drivers in 2.1.
Maybe I missed something (I've been adopting the application between midnight and 3am :shock:

), so please use compare tool to find all changes.
Thanks for the great app!
