Use Multiwii Config making sure it is the same version as the firmware you are loading. V2.3 is the latest for 328P based boards. in upper left it will show the version that is loaded on the board. You must set TX ranges Min 1000-2000 Max with 1500 mid for all TX functions. Set Min Throttle to...

Look for LED that only comes on when armed. If there is an output port that goes high on arming you can use this but to control LED strip or high intensity led you either require a buffer board or LED controller. These are available from Witespy, HK or many other suppliers. The microcontroller...

If your flight controller has a LED lit when armed then remove the surface mount series resistor that comes from microcontroller & connect two wires to the pads. Connect these wires to either an opto isolated MOSFET (220ohm resistor in series with opto) or to a LED controller module.

I'm no expert but you must use limiting resistors to leds. I suggest 220ohm. If like me you want to use high power leds so you can see them from a distance in daylight then you need a driver or buffer board. I built my own using ULN2003 buffer IC which is fed by same 3A UBec that supplies FC &...

Hi Vellocer, Where do you live? You should put it in Profile so others,where it's yesterday, don' expect same day repl. Blody reply box!! What type of multi do you fly? Cheers..B

Hi Dazzab, I will take your advice & buy genuine. The specs on Pixhawk look amazing compared to APM2.6 so might save up for one of these. Are you running a Pixhawk & if so would be intersted in your experience. Do APM2-6& Pixhawk run same version firmware? Do you have difficulty typing in reply...

Hi Dazzab I see APM 2.6 boards going for <$50 n EvilBay. They appear original but most likely clones. Do you have any experience with these? If any good I will buy one & after going over every solder joint as i always do with any electronics from China install on my quad & see how it flies...

Was going to try the MP port of APM on my Crius AIOP but since the Eos Bandi release of MW2.3 Navib7 with same functionality as MP I am pretty impressed so far. I haven't even had to do all the fine tuning that MP requires as standard PID work great with my X525 hardware. I didn't know that...

Upside down backyard boat?

They should a not custom firmware http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/322237725X970838X16.pdf

Opto ESCs don't supply 5V. You will have to make up a lead to connect 5V from FC (or UBec) to power RX & connect common of ESC to common of the 5V.

Hi SL, Sounds like you have an issue with your GPS. In WinGUI outside how many sats does it show & on map is quad position shown where you are +/- 2.5m? If you are running the standard MW2.3 release I suggest you download the MW2.3 Navi B7 navigation version as well as matching WinGUI from here...

Hi MinOnim, I am from Aust too (Cleveland Qld) & have only been into quads for about 6 months. If you check out my post on Members Intro you will see I'm a Multiwii convert. This platform is the cheapest way into this great hobby & the current MW2.3 Navi b7 has all the advanced features of...

Hi Guys &Gals, I am relatively new to this fantastic hobby having flown a Bixler 1.1 previously as entry to RC. I got into multis at local club where some of the guys were bringing there homebuilt KK2 quads which flew badly & DJI quads that flew superbly but at 10 times the cost. Being an...
