PLZ, explain?

Sorry, guys it must have been the dirt. They were really dirty from the last two days of flying.
Last flight went smoothly.

No he hasn't. I think. Although I think it's been tested already by someone else in the factory and it works because GPS units will be shipped to him in the middle of October And he will experiment and set it up before it goes on sale. Its engineered to work.

Yo, Shawn.
I talked to the Guru about changing the N to the word FRONT!
You guys next week we will start discussing the real Quadrino 2.0
Everything is opened, for discussion!
If your not going to be around. Post you idea and we can pass it along!

Question. I've been using my original QuadRino Basic board...back from before they were mass produced. It's been working fine on my quads. Now I'm planning on putting it on a hex...then it hit me...some of the inputs become motor outputs for a hex setup...thus I can't use a normal Rx. I could do the PPM input without to much problem, but my question is...can the QuadRino accept a Spektrum Satellite for the control input? If so, where would I connect it? Thanks in advance.

Let me do some research.
But really if you converting to hexa, you gimbal out puts become the other two motors.

I may do a Y6 before the end of the week!

This is my current multi-rotor fleet.
All Quadrinos.
When you fly the best, there is no reason to settle for anything less!

Best service, Best support, also the best combo board out there.
Any one saying it is less than that has lost his mind!

LOL!

Nice fleet doc, couldn't agree more. I was just debating with a buddy that runs apm.

But anyway look at the new toy I just bought, should be some cool bling.

Did you get me one?
That is cooler then the other one I saw!

Real nice!

I am sitting where i have to resist the urge to take off the goggles!

FPVing with the spyder quad. (3 min 13 sec)

At 2:13 seconds you have to look real good to see. It freaked me out. Almost crashed.

I'll be curious to see if the spketrum satellite is possible on my quadrino as well, I've done some research and don't think it can be done without soldering on the chip... hope I'm wrong.

I have used the satellites on my Nanowii's and a few older built up boards that have an Adruino Promini, works great! it's nice not having the extra wires and once decased the satellites are tiny, perfect for smaller multi's and cleaner looking builds. I suppose you loose some range, not an issue for me since all I fly is LOS.

Lol awesome.
Here's a video of the ring.

Since I bought the I2c expansion board, I needed something else to plug in. Lol

There is the code and it tells you how to do it.!

Yeah, I enable that for my Nanowii to use the Spektrum Satellite. The Nanowii manual tells where to hook up the satellite, I couldn't find similar info on connecting to the QuadRino. I also didn't find documentation to verify where to hook up the extra motor outputs for a flat hex setup. From early on in this thread it was mentioned you had to have a PPM input and then two of the normal inputs became the outputs for the extra motors. I was hoping things were different with the newer firmware(s).

For my Hex-X I ended up installing a Nanowii board. It had all the outputs needed for a Hex and was able to connect up a normal Rx. I just did a test over flight in the back yard with the frame and it was...well...uneventful. Multiwii is becoming my preferred controller now.

Nope you don't have to have ppm.
Just plug motor 5 and 6 in to the camera stab pins.
