Multiple Naza-powered Multis - Programming Question

[jforkner]

I have a Naza-powered hexa, and will soon have a Naza-powered quad. I'm wondering what is the preferred method of setting up different 'copters via the Assistant software? Do you use the same instance of the Assistant software for both a quad and a hexa (in my case)? Or do you setup a separate instance for each machine?

Seems like if you use one instance of the Assistant for, say, the hexa and it's parameters are stored in the software; when you go to program the quad, you'd overwrite the hexa settings with the quad's. And vice versa whenn going back the the hexa. On the other hand, I'm not sure the computer will let you install two separate instances of the Assistant software.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

You can export your settings to a file and re-import them at any time.

Yeah, but it seems like there ought to be an easier way. Thanks for the idea. It may be the best way to deal with it.

When you fire it up you can read then play around. All the data should be stored on the naza itself

 

[Benjamin Kenobi]

Agreed. The assistant reads the individual naza settings and doesn't store them unless you export/import.

yep, each one has it's own serial number like when you register the first time. it's a non issue

 

[jforkner]

I'll have to check---don't have the second Naza yet. I assumed the Assistant only read the connected unit when you selected READ, otherwise it was the last settings entered into the software.

Sure would be nice if the manufacturer would browse these forums and offer input.

i had three of em here at one point, each one had it's own settings, all you do is plug it in and wala

multi assistants arent needed, as all the data is stored in the naza. nothing more nothing les.s

 

[jforkner]

Thanks, guys, for the confirmation. I can relax now.
