Hi there people..
Here is an update-video on my tricopter build project Bare in mind that I have no experiance with the Naze boards other then this build..

you need to go into the programing to adjust for the yaw issue. In david naze32 setup video he tells you what to do at the end in the video on how to solve that problem.

Also you sound so much like sean connery like maybe his brother lol!

 

[makattack]

Have you tried recalibrating the accelerometers?

Sean Connery?!?! :O :O I've heard that before, but can't really hear it myself
I'll take it as a compliment though!


And yes.. I now know the procedure.. First get it stable with the trim (transmitter).. After that, adjust the mid-point (Cleanflight).. And reset the trim offcourse
Thanks!

I now know what to do (see previous reply)..
The only 'problem' I now have is rain + wind

Time for another update After some tips of subscribers + watching David's build video...
Here is my 2nd try to get it to hover well

 

[bgfireguy92]

well Im glad to see that it worked for you

 

[DutchRC]

Thanks sir Yes.. it actually flies confidence inspiring now.. With other multirotors I never fly this close to myself..

 

[CharelZa]

Nice to see.
I love Tricopters and glad to see more of them here

 

[Shufty]

Mines in the mail, still waiting

 

[DutchRC]

Waiting for things allways takes to long huh?

 

[Shufty]

Really does, especially when you live on the other side of the planet :/

 

[DutchRC]

Thanks mate I do like the looks of them in the sky a lot myself


and I did me a bit of flying with the tricopter tonight WITH a Denver 8030W 1080P 60FPS camera on it.. Just to see if I needed to do some more tweaking

 

[jipp]

nice place to fly.. but you are braver than me flying over all that water more than once.. heh.

chris.

 

[DutchRC]

Thanks mate ehm yeah.. This wasn't super relaxing No nuts, no glory though

 

[CharelZa]

Very nice.

 

[DutchRC]

Thanks CharelZa

 

[DutchRC]

I did me some more aerial-footige shooting practice with the Tricopter.. Some more tweaking to do, but it works pretty well

 

[DutchRC]

Damn.. this is like a Really old topic by now I do still have this quad though & it flies just fine
But... no OSD, which has caused me to crash it several times :$ Lucky for all of us though, we now have FPV camera's with build in OSD's! So.. I'm gonna upgrade the tricopter with such a camera..
