Hmm, it would be very cool if that could be built into the GCS. A database of your own model's specs with saved settings and a place for notes. Then allow export to a master database. Maybe one day.

I have found the stock settings to be very 'soft' in attitude mode. Full stick would have to be used to fly in any wind. Another thing that should be changed is the video you made Dave. 2000 is too high for max motor speed. I got mine hovering pretty well and started playing 'rocket ship'...

Maybe it is C4? It has a funny taste and it burns.:p I think I have seen that HVAC stuff. Is it like magic putty? This plastic is reuseable.:) It's not meant to be permanent though. Below is the very quick and dirty frame. The bottom tube is a swivel for two air control surfaces. I may have...

Could be placement. Open antennas like dipoles do have problems when they are near things that conduct. Does it do it with just your finger or do other people's fingers have the magic touch? Holey moley. I looked at the price of those things. They must have fantastic range for that price. How...

Yes it molds like clay until it cools. I was just messing around with the stuff to get a feel for it. I thought I was going to be able to pull the aluminum tubes out when it cooled. No dice. It isn't coming off. It hardens to something similar to nylon. The aluminum will bend first. I'm...

You were probably expecting something else?:p It might be good for prototyping my bi-copter.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Give it the Finger". Kinda reminds me of when my Xbees would only work when bathed in alcohol.

I got my motor and esc problems sorted out on my old Jakub frame. I pulled off the old homemade multiwii and popped in the Quadrino. I'm quite pleased with the board so far. The Alt hold is only good for 2 meters or so and I cannot get it tuned any better. Hopefully they will beef up the Alt...

Those frames are milled.

Carbonite? That's the stuff they used to freeze Han Solo in Star Wars. My guess would be a mix of carbon fibers and polycarbonate with a little rubber stuff mixed in. I've been casually looking for such a resin that is moldable and machineable. It's perfect stuff for little Gummi Bear pilots.:)

Are you sure that you don't have 5V on pin 3 of the sensor? That line would also affect the gyros if it was down. Maybe you fried the ground trace to the sensor? Check for 5V between pins 2 and 3. And check continuity of 2 to batt ground.

That happened from 7 feet? Why didn't the dome protect the boards? Any physical damage to the FC? You may have to pull out the multimeter. ;)

My best guess: The 3 hot CW motors were trying to counteract a hard right yaw. Then one of the ESCs started to give up and the other two couldn't maintain so it spun right. What kind of frame? Check that all the motors are vertical. If a motor's tilt is trying to push the frame right, then 3...

Follow the diagram on the FC mixer.

the language started getting a little saucy on another thread so i had no choice but to put a limited number of "naughty" words into the system. i can tweak it a little but it's pretty basic so you can see the unintended consequences. ****pit, who'd have thunk it. Mission C0ckpit? Sometimes...

I took a real flight today. It's pretty stable and needs some tuning. I was afraid to kick it around too much because I need to strengthen my motor arms at the clamps. I did notice one thing right away that I wish CC could do - soft trims for the ACC. With the multiwii you can land and use the...

I'm on a PC.

I spoke too soon. it worked for me until I restarted GCS. I went back to the 5-22 versions.

So I'm not alone. I had the same problem. Initial install of latest 5-28 GCS and CC firmware did not work. Then I went to 5-22 and things worked so I went back to 5-28 on both and it worked....for a few days. Then yesterday I was playing with the motor channels and I lost the screen again. I...
