    WKM / Ground Station Poll

    Good polling questions but I almost missed the link the first time before your reminder posting. In the automation and industrial world software developers hire a technical writer to communicate what the programmer and software intended to the layperson. In this case a good translater could...

    DJI + Futaba 6308SBT Telemetry failure

    S-Bus mono-directional is based on the original Modbus communication protocol which is referred to as Master-Slave. RC transmitter = Master, RC receiver = slave. Modbus+ and later developed com protocols was developed to get past the Master-Slave constraints, i.e., bi-directional communication...

    Extremely Helpful forum and members

    I have been asking a lot of challenging questions on this forum regarding NAZA, WKM, Assistant Software, Futaba RC systems, s.bus and finally DJI - Ground Control Station..... many questions that some Hobby level dealers might also be challenged with...... hence questions to this forum where...

    A couple of ground station questions

    Actually the POI, i.e., Point of View feature is, according to my manual, a built-in feature of WKM and can be activated from the IOC function by your RC transmitter when properly configured. One does not need GCS to achieve that although it may be possible to activate POI from GCS as well. In...

    Needing clarification on WKM Waypoint c/w datalink

    Thanks hover.ch..... I was not aware that a simple flip of the GPS/Attitude/Manual switch could tell the WKM to abandon GCS control and take control by conventional RC all in midair realtime!!! Is that is one of the manuals somewhere or is it an undisclosed "bonus feature"? Once back on...

    NAZA M for larger hexacopter?

    I believe there are many factors beyond just software issues such as gain adjustment. A friend has the exact opposite situation with a WKM that was resolved by changing both prop diameter and pitch and/or arm lengths....... finding the mechanical sweet spot where everything works the way you...

    WKM versus NAZA

    Completed my 2nd flight today with the WKM..... and in relatively breezy conditions..... it works 100% but hard to compare with my Naza as the WKM is on a F550 frame with extended arms, larger motors and props, landing gear, camera gimbal and dummy camera load equivalent to a GoPro3 weight. All...

    WKM versus NAZA

    Very nice aerial video of what this is all about. I would be freaked though to take over in Manual control in a win or lose situation like that..... I need to practice in manual more.

    WKM versus NAZA

    This is how I understand it.....The technical workings are primary in the IMU (9dof approx) which is constantly struggling to maintain level flight except when there is no joystick override. Apparently the FC may also be able to determine which quadrant has lost thrust (but cannot distinguish...

    WKM 5.18 Firmware update available

    "end up in misery" Would that means the MR hits the ground hard because it thinks ground is lower or it turns the motors off above ground level thinking it has already reached grade level? I am completely uncomfortable with flying by GCS without having this situation totally under control.

    WKM 5.18 Firmware update available

    I don't recall this capability being available for regular RC flight which simply acquires one Home point just before take-off. The altimeter/barometer automatically self-references to ground level so motors will not shut off before reaching ground. Ground Control Station via datalink however...
