Make sure you update the libraries from the arducopter trunk and the latest code from the ardupilotmega branch. |
|
I have a lot of setup commands now. I may reduce and consolidate these soon. |
|
|
|
Radio: |
|
ch1 = roll |
|
ch2 = pitch |
|
ch3 = throttle |
|
ch4 = yaw |
|
ch5 = mode switch - use your 3 position switch |
|
ch6 = used for tuning - not currently active |
|
ch7 = use to set throttle hold value while hovering (quick toggle), hold > 5 seconds on ground to reset the accelerometer offsets. |
|
ch8 = not used |
|
|
|
setup: |
|
erase = run this first, just in case |
|
reset = run this second |
|
radio = run this third |
|
esc = just ignore this for now |
|
level = optional - sets accelerometer offsets |
|
flat = optional - sets accelerometer offsets to 0 |
|
modes = interactive setup for flight modes |
|
pid = optional - writes default PID values to eeprom |
|
frame = optional - default is "+" |
|
enable_mag = enables the compass |
|
disable_mag = disables the compass |
|
compass = interactive setup for compass offsets |
|
declination = usage: "declination 14.25" |
|
show = shows all values |
|
|
|
Flight modes to try: |
|
stabilize - I'm having a little trouble inputting Yaw commands, would love some feedback on how to best handle it. |
|
alt_hold - You need to set your throttle_cruise value by toggling ch_7 for a second. Mine is 330 |
|
- altitude is controlled by the throttle lever. |
|
position_hold - When selected, it will hold the current altitude, position and yaw. Yaw is user controllable. roll and pitch can be overridden with the radio. |
|
RTL - will try and fly back to home at the current altitude. |
|
Auto - not tested yet, i'm finishing a waypoint writing sketch and will be ready to test soon |
|
- what's new |
|
- CMD_ANGLE - will set the desired yaw with control of angle/second and direction. |
|
- CMD_ALTITUDE - will send the copter up from current position to desired altitude |
|
- CMD_R_WAYPOINT - is just like a waypoint but relative to home |
|
- CMD_TRACK_WAYPOINT - coming soon, will point the copter at the waypoint no matter the position |
|
Special note: |
|
Any mode other than stabilize will cause the props to spin once the control switch is engaged. |
|
The props will NOT spin in stabilize when throttle is in the off position, even when armed. |
|
Arming is Yaw right for 1 sec, disarm is yaw left for 1 sec. Just give it some juice to confirm arming. |
|
Good luck, |
|
