I am not knocking the YS either. It appears to be a good controller. I just don't have the stuff needed to really make it work right now. I have the WKM and Data Link for my S800. Before I just had click and go single way point. Now I have 5 waypoints. With the S800 on 6S and a 18-20 min flying time, it actually might be useful. I think that competition is a good thing and improves the sport. May the best company win. Win my money.

How much does it really cost
I've been looking at the YS and I'm a bit confused on the pricing. At GotHeli's site it is $1049.00. Does this not include everything to be able to use all the GPS and waypoint features?

I got my new frame all built up. I ahve the radio setup, but now I would like to calibrate the compass. I heard there was a video here shoing how to set up the compass. I have searched this thread and can't find it. anyone have a link to the video, and will any pointers onhow to setup the compass.
Oh and yes I have not messed with the wifi again yet. LOL. that I will do once I have this thing flying. |

I don't have a video but in a nutshell here's the steps:
It's important to note that you won't get any feedback on any of this in the GCS until you have done both horizontal and vertical and then saved it. I spent a long time stuck on horizontal till I realized it wasn't going to do anything and I needed to continue to vertical then save it on my own. |

like I said things don't want to work. I tried all that. I am not getting the blinking light it is either solid or off. also I am not getting the success before I do the calibration. the copter is talking to the computer I can change parameters. I can see what pos the switch is in etc. but it will not calibrate?

No, you do not go into Init Setup to calibrate compass.
1. Power up the craft and make sure it's on a level surface. Attitude angle 0,0 2. Make sure data is connected, using phone or computer go and click on magnetic compass, select Horizontal Align. You will get a solid blue light, carefully lift up the aircraft, while maintaining the solid blue light (it's ok if blue light blink, but try to avoid that). Spin in circle 2-3 times. Set the craft down. 3. Click on magnetic compass again, this time choose Vertical. There won't be any blue solid light until you pick up the aircraft, point the nose down, roll it left and right to find the 90degree vertical point. Once it's at the correct angle blue light will come on. Once again, spin 2-3 circle. Set the aircraft down. 4. Click on Magnetic compass again, chose Save Alignment. Once you do this it will automaticly take you go the Control tab and start to save calibrate and the circle will come up. |

Ahh ok. Don't know why I was always putting it in settings mode first but it worked for me either way.
The one thing I keep seeing Tc3 looking for is confirmation or success after doing it but you won't see any confirmation. Just proceed with the steps the way V or I outlined them and at the end you'll get the confirmation. |
