MultiWii 2.1 released, with Arducopter RTH and loiter based code inside

Posted by Andras Schaffer on July 18, 2012 at 5:00pm

Here is a short video of poshold (loiter) in strong wind.

During the last two months I was working on the RTH and poshold code for MultiWii, which is finally released some days ago with the 2.1 release. The code is mostly based on the ArduCopter RTH and loiter code, with some optimization and tailoring to fit into an atmega328 controller.

I followed the evolution of the AC code since 2.5 and the things that Jason made with the code are astonishing. I would like to say thank you for keeping AC open source which helps other projects to evolve.

And some frightening stuff

I am getting fully compiled now, no issue.

Code from "MultiWii_2_1.zip" is not getting compiled in Arduino, tried the latest one and the old Arduino ver 022.

Selecting appropriate processor.

Andras, great work! Is the firmware available for download and is it a straight load onto the Crius?

Cheers,

Mike

It is NOT a Paris board, it's just a simple Arduino Promini (328P) and a cheap chinese GY86 sensor blob (MPU6050+HMC5883l+MS5611)

MultiWii had acc+mag+baro for ages, the new func is the GPS poshold+rth.

Jack : Calibrating ESCs with a Lipo connected and with props ON is something that you usually pay for with stiches, regardelss of MultiWii or AC....

Wow ... Position hold with an Integrator that work ... great .

i will test this new version as soon as possible.

i like very much the multiwii stabilization code than the AC.
