ElectroHub: Cannot Arm Despite New Pimped Flip 1.5
Dan makes a great point in asking the obvious. On that same level, I know you've flown it in the past with a different rx. Other than this new rx, have you replaced anything else? If it's just the rx,did you check the end points on your tx/rx to ensure you have full 1000-2000 pwm? Also, maybe try connecting servos to the aileron,rider and elevator channels to ensure you don't need to do anything special with a stabilization rx. I know with some as3x spektrum rx's, they won't arm unless it is perfectly still on powering up.
Makattack: Thanks. Found bad D3 on MWC so changed to simple Lightweight Lemon RX. No stabilizer. Got her back up into the air... and into a Tree - 75 feet up. Tree Service truck got her back down ( after a light rain). So, new board : MWC 1.5 Pimped with Mag (HMC5883L) and Baro(BMP180) ( via witespy, "Pimp Your Flip 1.5") got her back up but without proper sketch (so you were right, I have not set up my board correctly at least not with proper end points (more like 980 - 1820). Re-flashed with the pimp.io config for that board. But, cannot arm the motors. RX, MWC lights come up but not the arm light when I move the throttle/rudder to lower right on my DX6i as craftydan suggested. New hardware, same problem. When I connect battery, the motors click to acknowledge power but do not arm. Cannot get motors to spin up. Would apprecitate any further suggestions.
I think problem is with way I've configured the sketch file. In MultiWiiConfig, I've Calibrated MAG and ACC but in upper right section I have set the following:
AUX 1
Low Med High
ARM
ANGLE x
HORIZON
BARO x
MAG x
HEADFREE
HEADADJ
Modified table: leave ANGLE under AUX1 but put BARO and MAG under AUX2 (Mix switch)
AUX2 - Low
BARO y
MAG y
My guess: The above is a guess on my part. All on AUX1 (the GEAR switch on TX) may be an issue(?) I have not set the ARM value to anything. My understanding is that ANGLE assigns stabilization to the Accelerometer instead of the Gyro. Is that correct?
A better setup might be to assign BARO and MAG on AUX2 (is that the MIX switch on the DX6i ?). To do this I would move the BARO and MAG values under Low under the AUX2 heading in the table above, leaving AUX1 with ANGLE setting only.
Does that sound like a better solution?
