wishlist for v2.1

[EOSBandi]

I'd like to tiny-gps merged into the latest devs.

What is the good on adding a serial/i2c converter to the gps code ?

[charbot]

I believe there are a few tweaks to parts of the multiwii code necessary for the i2c from tiny-gps to be recognized/read by the FC. Tommie has posted a modified version of 2.0 with the necessary changes, but with all the recent GPS progress it is getting out dated. Would be great if tiny-gps compatibility was integrated into the "official" multiwii code, so this cheap DIY i2c GPS option wont be left behind.

I agree 100% with Warthox - The stability of the code is paramount over so called ''features'' to avoid the ACopter conundrum inside a conundrum - Really for me the only major unsolved problem of this entire brilliant concept is the Acc Z intergration with BARO - So my wishlist would be

1) stable code - never mess with MultiWii ACRO code - its the smoothest and best feeling mode of any multicopter anywhere at any price
2) Solve the Acc Z- Baro riddle - Acc Z data is not used at present - any coder who want to make a name for himself and live forever in the MultiWii hall of fame - in lights - solve the Acc Z BARO to rival the naza

change PID controller based on gyro+acc for yaw to become a crisp, steady HeadingHold controller (at least as good as traditional good Heli gyro)

It's just an Idea - but we are in "Ideas" right

I recognice in the GUI, that the Sensorreaktions have slightly different Timings. e.g. the value from the gyro hasn't reached it's max but acc has already it's max-Value. Gyro should have it's max at about hlaf the way acc, so there is an timeoffset.
This Offset seems to be (visual in the GUI) always the same and could be measured during calibrating.

The Aim of the Idea is to have measurements of differnt sensors in an synced timeline. I think this could exclude conterreakting sensors and smoother flying in stablemode (or any other mode with more than one sensor activated)

Please implement stable sinking flight! This is an important thing when you want to carry expensive cam equipment.
Also a wish is autolanding.

Here's an idea for a quad. If you lose a motor, your quad crashes right? How about if one corner falls for over 1 second or so and autolevel doesn't remedy it in the first second or so, that the esc for the opposite corner reverses polarity on two of the motor leads and the program runs the motor reversed to hold up the side with the dead motor? quad levels itself good enough to land even though it's lost half it's lifting power. Can a esc even do that? It would beat a crunched quad.

Interesting idea, but in order for this to work, ESCs would have to be able to actually reverse the direction on the fly, which most of the regular ESCs can't. Also, you would have to constantly switch the rotational direction to compensate for the overshoot in the other direction. A motor and propeller has an inertial mass and is likely way too slow to react in a timely fashion for this to work...

If you lose a motor in a quad configuration, there is no redundancy left that preserves you from crashing.

my idea will be to add some tuning pid like rabbit flight controll for some frame!it will be more userfriendly
i think we need improve baro mode and acc before to launch gps features!on top of that lot of doesn t need gps....but a proper baro mode and a good acc is the most important thing for everybody!
if we can have a baro mode like naza,multiwii will be the best plateform on the world(for me

Hello, i don't know if it has already been mentioned but i'd like to have a slew mode in the gimbal control stabilization. Slew is the name given to the system that maintains the gimbal steady (stabilizaztion on) when the radio stick is in the center and moves (rotates, tilt or roll) when the stick is moved from the center. Thanks

v2.1 is released, so this wishlist is terminated.
Please do not post here, use the later wishlist for v2.2 instead.
