crazy.. what to do?

[rahulvyas2]

Hi,
As said before, used the Sparkfun 6DOF IMU which works on 3.3v and also I used the Bob's super simple shield with an arduino pro mini.
I am not sure what actually happens but i dont feel good with it.. some crazy readings,
Actually I think it dosnt change it's readings if i turn the quad or rotate it, or do anything.. what to do sir?

[rahulvyas2]

the readings-
1- THIs comes if i calibrate the acc after writing the program to the arduino pro mini
http://postimage.org/image/z99n2lv1z/

2. This comes when after uploading/writing the program to the arduino I DO NOT CALIBRATE ANYTHING- postimage . org / image/5jgxaqbb5 /

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS, IF I TURN THE QUAD or do anything, THE GUI DOSNT EVEN SHAKE!!!!!
HELP HELP H E L P H E L P H E L P

[Hamburger]

why do you think it is a bug in the software?
Possibly wrong sub-forum?

[jevermeister]

Morde deatails would be handy:
Did you do all correct defines in config.h?
Pullups activated?
What variable does debug² show? I²C errors? If so, you have your problem.
Please install Multiwii 2.1 your version is out of date and support for deprecated software is a pain in the a*s .

okay okay! Am just try 2.1 and keep you updated.. my version dosnt have l2C errors..
and one more silly question, as i really never flyed a quad or rc thing (custom built) myself..how do we connect Tx and Rx after they are turned on?

     NOTE: Because there is only one serial port on the Pro Mini, using a Spektrum Satellite implies you CANNOT use the PC based configuration tool. Further, you cannot use on-aircraft serial LCD as the baud rates are incompatible. You can configure by one of two methods:
       1) Use an on-aircraft i2c LCD (such as Eagle Tree or LCD03) for setting gains, reading sensors, etc.

Still dosnt work...

It shows this reading- *ATTACHED*

[Lapino]

There you have it...many many i2c errors...and uncomment your lpf settings as you weren't flying before and didn't observe any twitches. Balance props first before lowering the lpf.

[jevermeister]

Thats why I wanted you to install 2.1.We can see lots of I2C errors.You sensor configuration is not right.
Correct thqt and retry.

Btw.:One post per problem please - people are getting annoyed pretty fast.

[IceWind]

I'd even say that before going any further. Post a photo of your MWC board and the Sensors.

[rahulvyas2]

I have used these pins(SEE THE IMAGE) rather than those at left. Does that make sense??

[jevermeister]

Hi,
that seems to be correct.
Now, what to do:

1. sit down, calm down, take your time, we finally got every bird up in the air.
2. Make surhe, that all connectors are correct SDA/SCL/ GND/3.3V or 5V
3. now select the right board from config.h
4. connect the rest (TX, LIPO, motors etc (NO PROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and startup and load you software via arduino Tool
5. GUI:
5.1: Are the inputs of the TX are computetd correctly? throttle, rudder, etc
5.2: Is the gyro working if you tilt the copter in hand fast? While the copter is tilting you should have peaks in the graph
5.2: ACC is the copter position corect in the gui

if gyro and acc are not working there are severel possibilities:
1. Wrong board selected in config.h
2. wrong connections on board (SDA SCL)
3. Sensors are broken (lets not hope that)

What sensors are used on the 6DOF board?

Nils

[IceWind]

I'd still insist in the pics of the mounted board.
For example to have the 3.3v on that board you need to have installed the extra components (C2 & VR).
By default it only allows to feed 5v to the sensors (or the 4.5v from D12)

[rahulvyas2]

my video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApnZnnWGgVE
It is using ADXL345 & ITG3200 ..but 6DOF of Bob is using different Acc!!!

[IceWind]

There is no configuration line specific for the Sparkfun 6DOF you need to enable the GYRO + ACC in separate bellow.
Like you had in the config.h file you've shared before. (not sure why you mention BOB's 6DOF as it is a different thing)

See if the board is properly generating the 3.3v on the pin where you're connecting the sensor.

[rahulvyas2]

okay. with the multimeter?

[IceWind]

Yes, just to make sure that the sensor is been powered correctly.
Basically to start debugging all things one by one to make sure everything is working as intended.
