    Tilt control on a spektrum

    So I am guessing that you have 5 or 6 wires between your Spectrum receiver and the Wookong; so you have A, E, T, R, U, and maybe X2, all wired, and that X3 is NOT connected on your Wookong. (Please correct me if I am reading in between the lines incorrectly.) Connect the X3 to a spare channel...

    Tilt control on a spektrum

    Yes. If you are using SBUS, then it's just a matter of configuring your transmitter. If you have each channel individually wired, you'll also need to make sure your have X3 wired as well. Once it's setup and wired, you should see X3 move in the Wookong ASW, and you'll be able to control the...

    Tilt control on a spektrum

    I guess I'm wondering if you know if all of your Wokong channels are mapped into your transmitter or not. If they are, then when you pull up the assistant software for the Wookong you will see all our controls reflected and you can see you are moving them with your transmitter. Once you know...

    Tilt control on a spektrum

    Nigel, Have you confirmed with the Wookong Software Assistant that your tilt controls are making it into the Wookong? Have you upgraded your ZenH3-2D to the latest firmware? v1.4? (The original software had a flaw that didn't allow the tilt to work with the Wookong if you were already using...

    Naza GPS signal through plastic..?

    Yes, I'm sure it wasn't designed correctly. ;) If you're implying I said it wouldn't work, I didn't. But Kenny never said what type of plastic nor how thick, and the right combination of those will block GPS, that's all I was trying to say.

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    Ironically i was going to reply to the post and say that I had already tried running v2.00 of the ASW and that it didn't work. Then I thought, well, lemme try once more. This time it did work and I was able to downgrade to v5.22 of the firmware. However, it didn't solve the problem. Still...

    S800 ESC Replacement

    I found out that DJI was using silicon, which is why it was so difficult to get off. If you use liquid tape, it makes it so much easier to clean off later if needed. Good luck!

    Naza GPS signal through plastic..?

    It won't hurt "performance", but it may block the signal depending on how thick the plastic is. I.e. if you have a lock on GPS, you're good; but if you don't get a lock, it's the plastic. The way I understand it, plastic isn't going to cause erroneous position readings because it isn't...

    IMU Orientation Error = Unflyible?

    Yes, sadly that is exactly due to the incorrect IMU settings. :( When flying ATT or MAN modes the FC is correcting for every tiny pitch and roll movement and sends commands to the motors to compensate for that movement. So by entering incorrect IMU parameters, the FC thinks it's going one way...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    Nope, not the GPS antenna. I went back to the original GPS antenna configuration, and didn't eliminate the vibrations in GPS mode. Any other ideas anybody? If someone can show me how to reinstall 5.22, which is what I had installed prior to yesterday, I can see if that helps.

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    Thanks Greg for sharing. I like your choice of music from Escala. Yes, I learned the same lesson when shooting solo on the ZenH3-2D, and I added much more dual rate to my yaw because of it. In my case, and don't know if applied to you, but I had to raise my yaw gain; I was noticing that as I...

    Futaba 8FG Super

    Nah.. I like the smooth feel for AP. a couple months go I saw a place that sold a spring loaded throttle 8FG and said it was ideal for helis. That's why I jumped to the conclusion it was the 8FGH; but after you prior post, I saw found what you quoted. Fun stuff!

    Newb to the hobby and need advice! :D

    Eddie, yes, if you could tell us what your final configuration ended up being, I'm sure it will help others. Mutley, I recommend you order the core of what you will be flying. At least for me, the visualization of how to arrange all the components, and where I would run the wires, and are my...

    How to call a copter with 18 (eighteen) motors....?

    Doh! I meant to say 10cm, but even at that I was just throwing out a super rough number. Thanks for the correction.

    Dji WKM kep rotating and crashed

    Yes, it would go to ATT mode. I trust you are proficient at that, and that the spiral wasn't because it was in ATT mode.

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    I totally agree with you that those were the two more likely candidates. I did double check settings, and I did recalibrate... I forgot to post those two things I did as well before flying. So tonight I swapped out the antenna post once I got home, and I'll fly it tomorrow morning and see if...

    Significant Vibration In GPS Mode Only

    So today I redid several things on my S800: - Replaced the tall GPS antenna pole with the short one (still 2-3 inches above the props) - Moved the IMU anti vibe tray to the front - Replaced one of the props - Updated the WKM to the latest version - Updated all of the settings in the...

    Finding it difficult to understand switch programming.

    I don't know what I was thinking at the time I wrote this above. X3 isn't used for the battery monitoring function; that's X1. Please disregard that statement.

    Zenmuse limits question

    Tim, the purpose of the Zenmuse roll is only to keep the horizon level... not so that you can get creative and do wierd shots. ;) I also wonder if putting the camera in a vertical alignment probably has different balance dynamics. Keep in mind that brushless servos function only when the...

    Herkey Jerkey Go Pro

    Is the GoPro directly mounted on the Phantom? Or do you have a gimbal? And when you say "jerky", please describe better? Do you mean you see a lot of the Phantom vibration? Or are you just saying that the Phantom was jerkying around so the video reflects that? Or are you maybe describing a...
