Modifying Code for Hexacopter

Posted by Georg on November 26, 2012 at 3:06am

Hey Guys,

I am about to change the ArduCopter code (no experience there - want to try out some changes in altitude control). Now my question: For I am using a Hexacopter - do I need to specify my setup in the code? I am using Arduino to load the code to the board. In MP the setup must be specified when uploading firmware.

If I am not mistaken and this must indeed be specified in the code: Du you know were/how I can do this?

Thanks, Georg

I have a new Problem now: I can not arm my motors anymore. It worked quite well a couple of times to upload my own code but since the last upload of my code I can not start the copter anymore. I tried the firmware via MP and the Problem is the same, then I calibrated the motors (this works). But no change...

I will continue tomorrow - hopefully i did not break my board! Is this easy to do? :(

Don't forget orientation. Look in config.h for anything you want to change by default and copy it over as a define.

There is the file APM_Config.h, enable the configuration of your drone
