Gave the wifey a nice red wine and she was happy!....lol

Ok, I read the part above and tried that and I now have it!!! Not intuative, but it does work once you trip over it

Now I can start working on the setup to replace the Gui controller with this one on my Vic20-450 frame

Good to know you it's working now..

Yeah, I had the same problems when trying to download the files. I kept getting a 'to big to display' message. When I finally clicked on 'view file' I got the download option. Certainly not intuitive, but now that I know how to work it, it works fine.

DON'T BE DUMB LIKE ME!


So, there I was, thinking I was smart. I downloaded the patch, and went to upload it to the board.

When I finished, I loaded up the GUI, and nothing. It was like my accelerometers and gyros were gone.

I went back to 1_7, still nothing.

I loaded up another board, that died too!

Then I lucked out and stumbled on an old post from whitespy. I somehow removed all of the settings that tells the board to recognize the gyros and stuff.

I followed Paul's simple directions...

3. Enable 400kHz i2c mode (I2C_SPEED = 4000000L)
4. Enable the following config defines:
ITG3200
BMA180
BMP085
HMC5883
5. Uncomment MOTOR_STOP. (This is our recommended setting.)

and presto, it was working again.

Warning, for the "simple ESC's" I found the default throttle settings way too high. I got down to about 1080 and it quit spinning up upon activation, and went back to working properly.

Is there any particular trick to switching over to 1.8 from 1.7. I don't want to lose my default settings. I ran 1.7 and did a screen capture just in case.

Rained yesterday:made beer
Today: 20 mph winds = indoor heli work!

Heloo Guys,

today I mounted ESC's and engines and tested each individually. Everything OK. Then I connected board with stock settings this way:

All BEC cables + - signal to the board
From RX THO + - signal to the board
Rest P Y R only signal cable from RX to board

ECS's play music as a normal after power battery is connected, but nothing happens afterthere. My friend persuated me, that I must also connect ground (black cable) if I want to send signal from RX to board. What I made wrong?

Board seems to be OK, blue power led in on, status orange led is flashing. But Mt AR6200 RX is flashing, normally it should be solid light. I used Turnigy Plush 30A ESC.

Thanks

I had a good time with my Vic20 450 and QuadRino board today. I'm starting to build up my confidence and was zip'n (okay, it was zip'n enough for me at least) back and forth. Great time. I got a little carried away and botch a low, high bank turn...broke a prop. Darn...oh well, that's why I bough plenty of spares.

Witespy...just sent you an e-mail. I'd like to get two sets of your orange 10x4.5 props. Please let me know the shipping so I can PP you. Thanks.

Is it normal to be able to arm the board with both sticks ? Mine does.... And i still have issues with the FC making the quad/hexa yaw randomly. Have tried on 5 frames and same issue on all frames

where do I find the procedure that explains the arming...and is this all quadrino boards work..cause mine is run on a futaba receiver..
I've noticed that most of the instructions are set to the "standard setup of a spectrum receiver and radio...

I checked everything again, now RX has a solid light, I checked cables, added ground to Y R P. Still nothing. ECS play standard melody, but throttle does nothing with engines. I also checked THRO cable, it is OK.

Did I miss something? Some procedure? I thought that board is RTF with standard settings.

Thanks for help

Someone wrote here, that it doesnt matter. OK I cutted three BEC,s and left only one.

Still the same. Status LED is flashing with in second interval. RX has solid light. I also set TRAVELS 125% on me DX6 radio according to video from first page.

Could you show PrintScreen of you GUI

To the board:
All ESC should have negative and signal wire hook to the controller and only one have the + to the board.

To the Receiver:
Complete wire + - and signal to throttle
then you can wire all other signal only.
