nDROiiD: FPV Cloverleaf in acro mode: ACTION!

Now this was some serious fun.

The Copter felt great and was so responsive, looking forward to more like this...

A short flight movie with the new MPU 6050

I did it: First flip!

Hi,
I finally pulled my self together and accomplished my first flip:

After some tuning (higher RC Rate) I am pretty used to the maneuver:

Altough an backflip does not work because of some broken front motors :-/ .
I used my crappy Keychain cam because my GoPro is far to expensive for that kind of maneuver.

Now I need to improve my throttle handlin, to loose less height:

Maby warthox can help:

Howto Inflight ACC - Calibration in MultiWii 2.0

Method A: The Failsafe method (if you have an aux vhannel assigned to arm your copter).

Preparation: uncomment #define InflightAccCalibration

Step 1 :- Copter on ground, Motors off:
- Stick Combo: Throttle + low yaw left + pitch foward + roll right
-> Copter Beeps 2 times: Function activated (do it again to deactivate: copter beeps 3 times)

Step 2 : get airborne and level copter either by trimming TX in hover mode or level it in acro mode.

Step 3: When copter is leveled (no drift) switch off engines while airborne: copter beeps.

Step 4: Switch Engines Back on and land: copter beeps long and new Offsets are stored in EEProm

Step 5: Start again and notice the new new calibration (Important: If you trimmed in level mode: take back all trims on your TX or you will propably crash)


Method B: Using the passthrough function

Preparation: uncomment #define InflightAccCalibration, assign passthrough to one of you aux channels.

Step 1: get airborne and level copter either by trimming TX in hover mode or level it in acro mode.

Step 2: activate switch "passthrough"

Step 3: land and deactivate "passthrough": copter beeps long and new Offsets are stored in EEProm

Step 4: Start again and notice the new new calibration (Important: If you trimmed in level mode: take back all trims on your TX or you will propably crash)

ps.> this function overwrites the ACC/Trim multiwii is providing, feel free to optimiye I bz hand with the usual stick combo after auto trim.

New airframe almost done

My new airframe is almost done, I just need to mill the new Landing legs and the new constructed motor mounts and it is ready.

The new cage is nearly indestructable and has a MK mounting ring ontop, so I can mount the GPS and the cam up there.
