I have a Quadroufo, with 3 ADXRS300 Gyros, ACC, Boro, Compass, and I'm having a little bit of a hard time getting it to fly level. I use the Beta 3.15 of UAVPSet, and have set the Parameters as the 3.14 manual said to.It tries to fly as level as would a Large Serving Platter Balance on a Pen.It tries to Roll, and will not fly level. Also, rudder is weird, it tries to spin left or right, rather then tail lock.Is there anyone who knows this well enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Victor and All,
It has been almost two years since you last posted, but I thought I would give you an update on the current UAVP open source project that was generously started by Dr Wolfgang Mahringer. It is still alive and has taken on new life with a complete code update and rewrite by Dr. Greg Egan and is now called the UAVX. It keeps the original ability of the board to be used in a quadrocopter and tricopter configuration with a firmware change, the baro altitude hold, the ability to use standard and I2c ESCs, and a compass for solid heading hold and gyro compensated pitch and roll for Aerial Video Photography. In addition, Prof Egan has kept the "keep it simple and low cost" philosophy of the original design, enhanced flight performance and added GPS position hold and return to home and auto land capability. In the works are waypoint navigation and firmware that will allow for taking advantage of the new PIC's 40hz processing speed. The active forum for this project is here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1093510 To use the new firmware you must replace the 16F876 PIC with a plug-in replaceable 18F2620 PIC. The parts are all available from a shop in California: www.quadroufo.com. The UAVX project is truly open source. The code and WIKI is at our Google code site: http://code.google.com/p/uavp-mods/ We are a friendly group who enjoy helping all newcomers interested in our fun project;)
Cheers,
Jim

I tried to find the UAVP forum, was unable. Thanks
Howard, one for you?
