Introduction
If the ESCs of the copter need calibration, a special version of MultiWii? can be built, that does nothing but trying to calibrate all attached ESCs. This may come in handy when plugging/unplugging of the cables is undesirable or near impossible (soldered cables)
How To
* remove props or tie copter down. * setup all options in config.h to whatever suits your copter * activate the define ESC_CALIB_CANNOT_FLY, possibly set high and low values for ESC calibration, if you know what you are doing * compile, upload, run --- cannot fly and will use Buzzer/LEDs to indicate finished calibration (after approx 10 seconds) * comment the define again, compile, upload * test carefully with your ESCs calibrated, fly and have fun
Details
If neccessary, the low and high values for the ESCs can be tweaked by changing the values for the defines of ESC_CALIB_LOW and ESC_CALIB_HIGH 2000
Warning
Remove propellers or tie your copter down. Seriously. If for whatever reason this firmware would not make the ESCs enter calibration mode, it would nevertheless send 'full throttle' signals to the ESCs for some time. This is guaranteed to be dangerous.
