Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now
- Thread starter jetforce
- Start date
I'm going for it also, will report back.
I don't even remember what version of firmware is on my V1 Hexa but it works so well as-is I'm going to leave it alone. I've had my fill of being a software beta tester I'll let someone else have the fun this time around. I'm in the process of building an MK quad with a full Nav and GPS for FPV use from spare bits I have hanging around, maybe I'll try out the new release on it before all the gear goes on or perhaps just wait for the first bug fix version just to be safe.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
two quick observations
it seems like the basic flight control behavior has matured in that the kopter is more mellow to fly and the camera mount is also less jittery. Either I or the FC have switched to decaf and no one's told us!
I've been flying a lot lately and more on windy days so maybe this is a reflection of the calm air outside today. Maybe that's it. Others can chime in on this and we'll see what there is to it.
My altitude control is screwed up though since the update so I've disabled it and will sort it out tonight.

that video of it auto landing is harsh! There must be a way they can slow the descent? Pretty sure that would cause damage on concrete and a solid landing gear setup.
Funny thing is, living on an Island on the east coast of the UK normal flying is in half a gale usually. There hasn't been a breath of wind since the firmware came out. The update went without a hitch, then just resetting RX back to spektrum and a few camera settings and the rest left stock.
As far as I can tell for now it works well. AH is rock, as is PH. It just sits there in manual also, but as I said these are not normal conditions.
Forgot to say, for some reason it swiched AH to off after the update.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
the range that was originally configured in the radio for the altitude hold channel/poti wasn't allowing the altitude hold to shut off so that would explain my problems earlier today. on the bench it appears to work fine now. this is the first firmware upgrade where I've had to go through every page and really think through every setting to make sure they're still good.
more flying planned tomorrow so we'll see how it goes. I've also added a small amount of filter in the camera servos to see if it does anything.

Holger writes on the wiki that you should not attempt to load previous configuration files from prior firmware versions into the kopter after updating. I used ALT+print screen to take screen grabs of the various tabs on the settings window and then used those as reference to adjust things with .88.
I've only done two test flights with it but thus far it's been good. I've left most settings stock and it seems to fly better than ever. This is on a cinestar 8.
