Multiwii Conf not showing values

Post by snoller »

Hi all,
i am running 2.3.2 on MultiwiiMega (http://www.diymulticopter.com), Multiwii Config on a Mac. Everything went fine so far but suddenly the Config Program does not read any values anymore. I can connect, it get's green but when i press "Read/Start" i only see a flat line and also no values in the PID settings.
I can upload code through the Arduino IDE and i can also fly.
Any ideas what is going wrong here?
Thanks in advance,
Stephan

I found that the following methodology works fine:
- after connecting one time, never reuse the mw config window, close and open again between sessions. Otherwise it will block the boot loader.
- after connecting the USB cable wait for the FC to initialize (stop flashing) then click connect on mw config, it will start blinking again (connecting to the serial port triggers a reset) wait for it to stop blinking and then click start/stop.

Thanks, but this does not seem to solve the problem. I connect and the serial led is flashing as if data would be transferred. But nothing is displayed in the app...

It might be baudrate.
It must match.
Can be set in the settings tab.
And in config.h

Are you using a FTDI adapter or the "internal" USB serial port on the FC ?
