japp so it looks like any Graupner remotes with a Fasst/Rasst Futaba/Robbe module are not an option if you want to use S-Bus. Not an invitation to MK users were a lot of them have a Graupner.

At the time, a good, but not stellar performance. Better than a crash landing, but I wouldn't want a landing like that with my DSLR on Board.

Hey furyphoto
Can you please run thru how you setup switch "A" on your 9C to enable FS
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting your video. What happens failsafe-wise if you simulate a Tx faliure by turning off your Tx? Scenario 1 is you have a Rx failsafe setup as you should to put the ch3 throttle to just below hover and all other channels to neutral. Scenario 2 is you lose power to the Rx. What will the DJIWKMQ do?

I would suggest a re-think of your module mounting. Having the controller module mounted on top of the IMU no-doubt is inducing vibrations. That and improper neutral stability and prop/motor balance are things to check to get rid of theTBE.

Yes TC has now proven that there is a battery backup on the UBLOX GPS. So if you do not get a quick under 30 second lock after re-powering from a flight, then it points to Rf issues (use a shield), or a bad GPS backup battery.
Cheers,
Jim

TC,
What is the huge current draw? The LED driver?

Hi,
How did you have your Rx failsafe set? Would it auto-land in this situation?

This assumes your 3-rate switch is on channel 7. If you have it on another channel, change your SLAVE below to that channel.

Go to advanced menu 2
select PROG.MIX1-6
select mix 1 (OFST AUX1)
put the rate at something around 47%
Master = OFST
Slave = CH7
Change mix from INH to OFF
LINK = OFF
Sw (choose what switch you want) I chose SwD
POSI = whatever position you want it to be "ON"

thats it!

I like the vario altitute and the altitute hold. But the GPS hold toilet bowl is a big problem. Have used tv antenna foil on the cables and even a large copper plate to shield the GPS unit. The bowl is still there. I can imagine the side impact force of an auto land you kill most droidworx legs and damage gimbals.
Now if only my droidworx octo was here...

Just increase the basic gain on pitch and roll, they are too small.....

furyphoto,it looks like you have Master unit installed on top of inertial unit ? Would likely to be better install them other way around or totally separate them.

I'm using really crappy measurements, but it looks like IMU takes 300mA,
LED = almost nothing (surprisingly?), GPS, 100mA, and the rest is BEC in my ESC + MainController, which shouldn't be much really. I've also updated the blog with details about IMU and pressure sensor.

If you check that box and then log in to the software afterwards you can open the software and connect to the WKM without a network connection. The only thing you can't do at that point is upgrade firmware, obviously, but you can make changes in the field using that setting.

Thanx RTRyder, I didn't notice that.. Good thing!

milouze, have you checked out my hardware evaluation of WK-M? http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1510587

+1 on that, I'm sure it could be automatic..

+1 yep, i checked that I love to see surgery ops_ good job by the way on the analysis of the beast Seems like a well written code and a nice thought assembling design can make the difference (regarding components which seem to be common)

Cheers

PS: and yes, old PPM input would be great, please! (my TGY9x + frsky stuff are on the way here!)

Well was on my way to better results but then one of my esc's fried. I need to wait for the power module.
Would be nice to have two configuration slots so we can choose between windy/calm, light/heavy settings with a spare channel. Or even better have the MC auto select between the two.
Anyone with an AV200 pan kit? Do you find that the legs handle the weight of the craft comfortably? I am considering the new retractable legs from Droidworx.

Instead of waiting for power module, just power the whole stack from a separate UBEC (NOT linear), and cut 5V lines from every ESC.

Anyone carries the Graupner Electro 10x5 props?

Just flew a few packs and the power module def fixed the hot ESC issue. Mine all run cool. The Height Hold on mine is real good. I would say it moves only a few inches up or down.
