MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano - UAV / Drones Flight Controller

[DiaLFonZo]

Hi All,

We are, at Lynxmotion, very proud and exited to introduce a new UAV / Drones flight controller born from a partnership between the well known FlyingEinstein and Lynxmotion team. We focused on many things on that project:

The Press Release:

- Have all the available and up to date hardware MultiWii support
- Mount all that hardware on the smallest possible size format
- Provide an easy to use Software Updating Tool
- Integrate protection to the bare PCB

After many long months of work around those constraints, we are ready to show what we did for you.

Awesome video. Looks like fun to make that. You know your props are spinning backward though?

Thanks, yes it was fun but i'm not an actor so i was kid of stressed.

You are totally right about the propellers, the editor who did it took a real shot of the quad but reversed the video since the it was a better view when the slowed down after motor shut down. I had not catch this one...

Here are some screenshots of our MultiWii FCT (Firmware Configuration Tool).

Today we are testing and correcting the final bugs and should release the version soon. You can see that on the last page, you have the choice of the Standard MultiWiiConf GUI (General User Interface) or WinGUI. Both will install the first time they are clicked and once that done, will allow you to start them. (they will also be in the start menu)

It's coming ....

Hi All,



This is an update regarding the Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano product status. First we wish to thank you again for your order and trust in RobotShop / Lynxmotion.



After investigation we found an issue with our boards while testing the final units. Our factory installed a faulty batch of ATmega2560 and they will need to be replaced in order to provide the best quality board for our customers. We need them to be perfect!



This situation will add some delay but rest assured that it will be resolved in the quickest way possible. Good news is, everything else is functional and each unit where we replaced the ATmega2560 was fully operational during our testing procedure. We are therefore certain that you will be pleased with the final product and that the wait will have been worth it.



Best Regards,



Eric Nantel - DiaLFonZo

Hi All,

This is an update concerning the issue we posted about yesterday.

After further investigation from our team we found that the ATmega2560 is not faulty but simply required proper chip initialization (atmel fuse settings) before burning the bootloader. What we thought were dead chips were in fact just set to different factory defaults not compatible with the bootloader and easily corrected by writing the correct fuse values.

We are sorry for the confusion yesterday and we shouldn't have spoken so soon. The good news is this should greatly speed up the delivery for our customers that have pending orders.

The batch we have for testing is currently being flashed and tested at RobotShop / Lynxmotion prior to assembly in their casing. The balance of the production will be flashed and tested as well by our factory.

Best regards,
