I've been using Multiwii but i wanted to test MegaPirate, so i uploaded the code and probably i'll never come back to Multiwii :D

Very stable flight with a homemade Octo with Crius AIO Pro. Testing Altitude Hold, Loiter (AltHold and Position Hold) and Return to Launch, great performance! I tuned the PIDs for Rate Roll, Rate Pitch and Stabilize Pitch, all other PIDs are default.

No software stabilization used in the vídeo.

I carried a GoPro and the video recorded by the octo was very stable! :)

If you have a Crius AIO Pro, I highly recommend MegaPirate!

  • Hi Adam, unfortunatelly not because the Atmega32U4 has just 32kb. MPNG uses more than 100kb

    Search for a board with Atmega2560, like Crius All-in-one Pro or Multiwii Pro ;)

  • Bernardo, would MegaPirateNG work with a MicroWii ATmega32U4 Flight Controller?

  • Rana, it was flying very well, like 2.7, but I read that some guys had the motors disarming in mid flight with 2.8 ;)

  • Hi Bernardo ! Was MPNG2.8r3 not flying well ?

  • Thanks Rana ;) In this video I used MegaPirateNG 2.8 R3 but now I downgraded to 2.7 R4

    Valeu Eduardo ;) Se tem uma placa com Atmega 2560 a boa é colocar o MP. Multiwii são para placas com menos memória

    Agora que a placa está bem configurada e o frame está pronto vou testar bastante o MP para ver se é confiavel heheh

  • Nice flight bro...

    Com certesa o MP esta muito melhor que o Mwii.

    No inicio do projeto o Arducopter era um lixo. Era cheio de bugs, nao voava estavem.

    Agora ele esta muito bom. Esses tempos comprei uma placa com a sua para ver como estava  projeto e me abobei pois fazia mais de 1 ano que nao testava as atualizações do Arducopter.

    Continuo achando ele um projeto para se usar com brinquedo mais funciona muito bem.

  • Very nice ! which firmware version / repository you are using ?
