Calibration: Update unsuccessful What now?

Posted by CyberCrash on January 28, 2011 at 5:39am

Hey guys,

I have got a major obsticle in my way.

 

It seems I am unable to save the calibration data.

 

Is this a connection problem between the shield and the arduino?

Is my USB cable faulty  (I tried two different cables)?

Does my quaddy hate me? ??

 

 

Please help

    It worked.

     

    I was able to save the settings.   YEAR!   Thanks a lot.

     

    One little thing and I know this doesn't fit the toppic:

    All commands are reversed, even the switch positions (I think)   [Acro/Stable switch off: When I ?gyre? the copter on the table it stays in the new angle, when switch: on, The copter only changes angle as long as I gyre it.

     

    So I guess acro is on by default and I switch it to stable. I want stable by default, so I guess I have to invert everything. It's all changed. Left is right, right is left, ....

     

    Should I do this on my transmitter or somewhere in the tool?

    I had that problem to.

    Look at this: http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/warning-to-french-and-possibly

    I changed the settings for decimal mark in Windows, from a comma to a dot.

    It works for me now.

    The configurator is still not working.

     

    Maybe that's important: The main screen shows an "Accel Z axis" of 407-408. Shouldn't that be 0 after calibrating the acc over cli?

    Hey guys,

    CLI works for me.  I did a Reset to factory settings, I activated the mag + moved the copter on all 3 axes for min. 360° and Initialize and calibrate Accel offsets.

     

    But where is the min-max-value calibration menue?

     

     

    Okay, motors are calibrated and they all work fine in the cli-motor-test.

    The CLI it really quite good and a lot less bother than the Configurator (especially for a Mac user).

    There may be something you can't do in CLI that you can in the Configurator but I've never used Configurator and have a very happy Quaddy that seems to like me!

    Have you tried the CLI?

    I did reset the eeprom.

    After that I disconnected the usb cable and reconnected. Then I went on with calibration but without luck

    How are you trying to save it? Via the CLI or Configurator? What software are you using (ArduCopter or ArduPirates, etc)
