Router Mode: router is used as the transfer station between Phone and WIFI
Point-to-Point Mode: WIFI module directly communicates with Phone, so other transfer device such as router is no need.
Please configurate your wifi according to the video shown as below:

Bring three new functions:

2 Handfeel Control (Phone Attitude Control *NEW function*)

19 Support Steadycam structure, need to add the second customized IMU (*NEW function*, need to customize)

20 Support Bluetooth module(*NEW function*)

Changed=Added:

Add "Default" button in GCS, *one key of resetting back to factory default parameters"**.

That's great news. What exactly is the steady cam feature? Also, I noticed the iOS software had an update as well? What's changed?

Thanks for your hard work. You've already proved to have a much better product and support against your competitors. I'm glad I switched from DJI to you guys.

Nice, would be good if you also keep latest manual available here. Where can i order second IMU for steady cam feature?

It begins to work on the Steadycam multirotor, to make the flight more stable and get a much better photography or filming effect. Exact features come later, welcome your following

IOS/Android/PC are updated with same features added.

Thanks very much for your supporting too, jdreitman!

Does Steadycam affect to flight rather than just gimbal stabilizing? Can't wait to hear more. Sounds very nice new features, big thanks for hard work again! You are doing awesome work guys.

Sway your phone to control the multirotor


Please check the function video above too

Kari

Hi Kari, thanks for following...
Steadycam is a especially stable structure, like its advertisement: "It's not just about stabilization, It's about initial camera stability".
And now YS-X6 can support this kind of structure, if match them together, it may achieve a higher stabilization level like:**a tiger with wing**

Thanks for the complements, hope we can perfect it and do better....

Can order from local distributor

Any look out for Care Free (MK name), Couse/home-lock (DJI name) ?
I love to have that.


Also a couple of waypoints and full circle in PTZLock for free ;-)

//Frank

Will we be able to use a 2nd imu for other gimbals?

Hi Frank, welcome your question. I don't promise the exact date, but I'm sure it will have similar or better feature like Care Free or home lock...

PTZ lock... need more time...

You make me happy

When you talk about the "Steadycam Multirotor", are you talking about this one: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1656651 ?

Very nice idea of creating a thread ZeroUav.

Looking forward to see what you have planned for the Steadycam multirotor.

Do you also have plans to release a cheaper FC to capture sales in the lower end? ex.Naza

Thanks for subscribed, redridinghood! Welcome...

The hobby level is in progress, we named it YS-X4, need to wait for the official release...

ZeroUav, Not sure if you've seen my video, but I think you might enjoy it. We turned the follow-me feature on and strapped the iphone to another copter. We then had the Zero Uav follow around that copter. It was pretty cool.

You'll notice however that it's not very steady. Each time the copter needed to get new coordinates, it had a very jerky motion. Any suggestions to make the auto-follow more steady?

hi ,my friend. i am very like the video that you provided.it was very cool ,
a little small regret is not very stable when the copter get new coordinates.

The follow is Only my personal suggestions.

1.the deviation of installion direction or virbration or shaking will affect the IMU/
during flight,you need observe the "vilbrate"and "shake"in "data"to judge
,it is normal range from 0-9.

2.the attitude adjustment of muliti-axies are based on motor speed adjustment
so the ruder sensitivity will affect the attitude adjustmen accuracy .you
need to adjust the weight \pitch propeller matching once more,
to make the motor keep enough speed and generat enough rudder effect.

3.you can adjust "toll and pitch sensitivity"in GCS, and "shaking compensation "
to do some certain adjustment.

4.try to do the better damping of PTZ.

5.you can change the PTZ Roll and Pitch Sensitivity in GCS.
these two parameters used to adjust the correction angle of gymbal .
if you feel correction angle is small ,can fill in bigger number.
on the contrary fill in smallnumber.

6.The quality of the phone's positioning capabilities maybe can affect the coordinates.

7.maybe use another IMU to make it more steady .

to ZERO UAV TEAM, Please urgently test your Autopilot with Turnigy DLUX ESC
link: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ng_2s_4s_.html

There is a lot of twitching and motors stalling problem with thoose ESCs Please check
AND TO all ZERO UAV USERS

do NOT use Turnigy DLUX ESCs on ZERO UAV please .....
they have a good cell range from 2~6 but will not WORK with ZERO UAV do not risk your multicopter

IF any one need video proofs please let me...

Can ZERO UAV team can u analyze the problem by using ur HJ file from my Iphone
ask if need I will upload or mail it to u

I doubt that it is a YS-X6 problem, those ESC are know to be crappy.

(Why other ones are working)

[Can ZERO UAV team can u analyze the problem by using ur HJ file from my Iphone

Hi hemanthtguru, thanks for your precious feedback, please kindly send your hj file to support_zerouav@yeah.net for our analyze. Its Serial No. together please. Thanks!

I am happy with YS-X6 so far, it has many new features and it's for advanced user for sure,
may I attach a test video here ?

Very happy with mine also. The YS-X6 is very stable on a big octocopter with large 15" propellers.

Nice one, look forward to more videos!!

YS-X6 multi-rotor auto pilot waypoint navigation & auto landing (2 min 31 sec)

impressive. what configurations can I fly? Y6? hex V?
What is the cost for more waypoints (around 20 or 30) ?
How works "follow me"? with transmitter or with touch on map?

@nicwilke
I think I can see and hear some excessive vibrations that look like the gains are too high. Is that the case? Or is it just me/youtube? Looks like 5-10hz vibrations.

You can fly any * +/X/Y types* of Quad/Hexa/Octo !
"Follow me" is working with your phone which should have built-in GPS funciton.

That's great news! We're looking forward to seeing what's coming

I've got the X8 setup as stock. Using Turnigy Plush 30A non flashed ESC's set to medium I believe (need to check with prog card).

I'm going to recalibrate the ESC's when I have time, then test again before changing anything else.

To the Zero UAV Team Would it be possible to add obsticale avoidance with ultrasonic or IR to avoid hitting Poles or wires when flying waypoints?

Can someone upload a screen capture vid on the proper way to upgrade firmware? I have the com port configured property in Device Manager and double checked in the firmware upgrade program. I always receive an Authorized Failure! error message. Anyone?

When receiving "Authorised Failure" message ,it means that your software upgrade encryption does not have the same FC serial encoding ,ask you Dealer to contact Zero to resove for you.

My settings are already set to tiny, and I'd like to not have broken text lines. I know its a silly request, but it'll help reduce confusion.
