Calibration
Follow these steps to do a proper calibration:
- Place your MULTI on a flat leveled surface.
- Connect your MULTI to your Multiwii GUI.
- Press the calib_mag button in your Multiwii GUI to start the calibration.
- Wait a few secounds. Do not move your copter during this.
- Check your sensors directions.
Trim
you will have to use the TX stick combo
- Give full throttle (must be >1900)
- With the help of your roll and pitch stick you could now trim the ACC mode.
- full PITCH forward/backward and full ROLL left/right (2 axis possibilities) will trim the level mode according to the neutral angle you want to change.
- The status LED will blink to confirm each ticks.
So for instance, you have to move the pitch stick full forward about 4-5x. That means from neutral to full and back to neutral, 4-5 times. You will here the buzzer each time beep and see the led each time blink, when move full forward. The same for the roll axis.
If you want to reset the ACC trims, just perfom ACC calibration
Once you have it trimmed do not calibrate acc again as you will loose the stick trim settings
