Well the twitchity 230 is ready to fly again. Just gotta run an autotune on it tomorrow and pop it in the air! Still no 2204's, just the 1806's that were on my emax 250...which really are pretty beat up...but better than 3 beat up DYS which is all it's had the past few months
However I did run into two difficulties setting it that I'll share in case anyone else runs into them.
1) Setting up the spektrum sat RX - see my post one page back about this, no need to re-hash that again. I'll just say it took me an hour or two of messing with various settings in GCS and on my TX module before I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Reminds me why I don't like using the spek sats very often!
2) The motor order. I know, I know. I already shared a tip about that on page 1 saying you'll want to configure them on the vehicle page as:
Motor 1 -> Channel4
Motor 2 -> Channel2
Motor 3 -> Channel1
Motor 4 -> Channel3
And that's true...IF...if you have your motors wired as they would be for cleanflight.
I thought I'd be smart (first sign of trouble) and just wire mine up right from the start so they'd be mapped 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4. So going by the reference image in the GCS I started with the NW (front left) motor as 1 and went clockwise with NE in 2 SE in 3 and SW in 4. Boom, figured I'd be good to go.
Um...no...not quite. Because it's the numbering of the ports on the Naze32 that doesn't line up.
So I had to mess around in GCS to remap the motors again. And they're now:
Motor 1 -> Channel2
Motor 2 -> Channel3
Motor 3 -> Channel4
Motor 4 -> Channel1
Which is what you'll need if like me you try to be smart and put the motor dRonin says is #1 into output #1 on the board and so on.
Honestly this motor mapping always drives me crazy. It's super confusing because the numbers are easy to mix up. On the Outputs page the NW/NE/SE/SW nomenclature is used but on the vehicle page they're still just numbers. Thankfully that's supposed to change in the near future with the vehicle page changing to the NW/NE/SE/SW names which are far easier to understand.
Right now there are 16 Naze32's that have checked in with dRonin...would love to see a few more already 30 CC3D's and I'd love to see that gap close up
