DEV r1553 - Minthrottle not setting correctly

[doughboy]

ok, Patrick, you got the correct answer.

The MultiWiiConf_shared MUST be used when using MultiWii_shared firmware!!

this is what I posted in the vbat thread

ok, I ran into this issue, as well as the throttle issue.
and as others pointed out, the MW GUI is the problem.
If you are using code in shared, you must use the Gui from shared, as that has the page that allows you to set the VBATSCALE, MINTHrOTTLE, etc. Without this, I think they just get a value of 0 (more so if you cleared the eeprom).
As an example, with the throttle problem, when I arm, I have to push throttle to halfway before motors starts to spin.
I have also seen when I arm, the low battery warning alarm sounds right away, even when my battery is fully charged!

resetting in gui will only work if you are using the shared version of gui, not the 2.2 release gui.

Ok, nice to see you solved your problem.

some complement:
MW GUI is retroactive: with MW GUI 2.2 dev, you can control a 2.2 FC

but, with MW GUI 2.2 you can't control fully a 2.2 dev FC
the reset button will work, but everytime you hit on write button, things like minthrottle will get weird values.

I have the same problem, but I'm not able to find, where to get the GUI 2.2 dev which will work with the dev MultiWii :/

I got it, thanks
BTW x64 app doesn't work for me, 32bit yes (I have Windows 7 HP x64)...

processing 2.0 has disabled 64 bit support for serial library. If you really want 64 bit, you can use processing 1.5. I believe you need to find and install 64 bit rxtx dll for 64 bit to work in processing 1.5.
