I cannot go out to make experiment on openair. Still haven't battery.. Now copter is powered by computer power source ( 12V 32A) and have voltage drop on half throttle about 10.1V. If i'd like to set full throttle - voltage drops over 9.5 V :(

I can send it by email. But i haven't idea how to share it. I't not one or two files. Changes was made across many multiwii files. Were added some new "drivers" to communicate with SPI sensors and russian GPS\GLONASS receiver.

Hard work is done. New Firmware (based on MultiWii 2.2) rewritten to work with OpenRTOS.
New Config to MPU-6050 -> Sensors are update at 100Hz. Added second board with OSD on MAX7456. Added driver for OS to work with it. The OSD code based on RushDuino.
Photo will be soon (i just crashed my copter and now try to find one DJI F450 White Arm)

A multiwii port for Pic32 over OpenRTOS?
Sounds awesome.
Are you planning to make it "open"?
