In this period I observer that wen calibrating giro, the ALT graph had a sudden upwards spike.
After a few minutes i observed a flat graph....0...and stayed there regardless what i did: reset, blowing air in sensor, shaking it.
There were no indication of I2C errors, the other sensors worked as expected.

I´d like to test the new r1232 but its just 10 bytes to big for my config ( i2c-GPS,HMC 5843,BMP 085 32u4 - nanowii board )


" Binary sktch size: 28,682 bytes ( of a 28,672 byte maximum) "


I have already undifened evrething of the unneeded usual cofig.h settings.


Does anybody know how to spare some more bytes of the code but without loosing the GPS,BARO + MAG on 32u4. ( dev r 1143 works already very fine on Nananowii)


thank you
Georg

You should undefine as much as possible or get a bigger FC.

Sebbi wrote:@nhadrian can you post you config.h settings and mabye debug the following values:
- baroGroundPressure (should be whatever the ground pressure is, after 10 seconds)
- BaroAlt (unfiltered alttitude)
Maybe your plattform initialisation is taking longer than 10 seconds so baroGroundPressure stays 0 ... that would explain why the altitude shows a 0 too ... I planned to include some code that would reset baroGroundPressure when arming the copter/plane, that could work or you test different values for INIT_DELAY in Imu.ino (maybe 20000000? for a 20 seconds delay?)

I attached my Multiwii.
BaroPressureSum looks like is not 0, plotted to debug1 divided by 100 and shows around 19000 so maybe a really big number indeed.

if(baroGroundPressure == 0 && currentTime > INIT_DELAY) { // 10 seconds delay

if(currentTime > INIT_DELAY) { // 10 seconds delay

Your config.h looks pretty default and 19000 is in the correct range when devided by 100 (equals 950 mbar pressure). I'll try to come up with something to fix it for your configuration, but so far ... I'm clueless. You could try to replace

Code: Select all

if(baroGroundPressure == 0 && currentTime > INIT_DELAY) { // 10 seconds delay

with

Code: Select all

if(currentTime > INIT_DELAY) { // 10 seconds delay

and see if baroGroundPressure gets set to something then ... this wont show you the correct altitude since it will reset ground every cycle, but at least you can see if this is causing the problem.

Altitude readings behave strangely, first it shows a high negative altitude (-26000 or so) witch is not so stable (worst than bmp085) and after a few minutes it freezes to 0
I am surprised that from all 808 users who downloaded this MWC version, only I and Adrian reported this issue.

• With serial GPS enabled (NMEA, with or without a GPS connected) the time between two baro_update calls is only seldomly below 10000 µs, so getEstimatedAltitude doesn't get called often enough. With Ublox, Sonar lower baudrate and/or BMP085 this issue could be even worse
• Without GPS enabled the time between two calls is below 10000 more often, but occasionally goes over 10000
