Configuration

In MultiWii it is possible to configure your multicopter settings.

Configuration guide

PID

• Global PID - global flight characteristics
• Altitude PID - tuning for barometer

Sensor Calibration

before you fly your rc model for the first time please take time to calibrate sensors.

• Accelerometer - required for stable mode
• Compass - required for CareFree mode and GPS Functions

Transmitter

• RC rates & expo - for input sensitivity
• RC Serial , Sbus and ppm

Configuration tools

There are different options to configure your multiwii flight controller:

TX sticks combo

MultiWii functionality are accessible via combinations of the TX sticks.

The latest overview of supported stick combinations for mode 1 and mode 2 TX can be found on the sources repository.

For mode 3 TX users an adapted 2.2 version is available at diydrones

It comes as a pdf Document and can be printed and folded to match the size of a credit card.

MultiWii GUI

There is a dedicated page that described the MultiWii GUI

LCD

It is possible to attach one of the Supported_Displays panel for field adjustment of PID values LCD_Configuration_Menu without the need for a PC. Stick movements are used to change values, while the LCD shows the variable being changed and by how much. Furthermore the display can be used to display live LCD_Telemetry data.

Bluetooth

Another option for field configuration without a PC is to use an Android smartphone and a Bluetooth module. The module connects to the TTL port pins as the LCD does, but uses all four pins since the communication is bi-directional in this case with the board.

Note: You cannot have both the BT module and FTDI active at the same time. Use one or the other at a time.

WinGUI

MultiWii WinGUI is a .NET based configuration and Ground Control Station interface designed for multiwii.

It offers a richer user experience by sacrificing multi platform capabilities.
