I've just swapped over to a new windows 8 laptop i'm using the latest beta firmware and client. When I plug in the controller (cheap Chinese ps3 copy) the thrust is set to around 58% at null rate i tried mapping it out but for some reason the axis is inverted i.e. pull back thrust up push forward th...

it seems a repeatable issue. See the terminal output. I have remapped the trims to the square/tiangle buttons etc when you hit any of them to trim the UI will crash. See terminal output below but the flie will keep flying not sure why if it had really lost connection i thought it would just drop fro...

Hi thought I'd post also. Finally got round to building this today and am happy with the results it make the flie far easier to control in situations when you want finer control of its movements. I have noticed a couple of things which I'm sure are just development things to be sorted. When the fly ...

adafruit do a i2c to pwm/servo board for not a lot of money http://www.adafruit.com/products/815 They have a good tutorial on it's use very simple I think the example is in python. I have one on my desk that I haven't used yet I sourced it here in the uk.

I get more than that never timed but far more than 3 minutes. The power meter seems to be a little unreliable unless the motors are powered up it doesn't seem to give an accurate measurement. Are you charging each battery for at least 20 minutes as well?

Is your throttle position in the software showing 0? I hadnt realised when I was using the virtual machine the mapping had changed to another device and the throttle was jammed open to 80% I connected and it shot off into the ceiling worth checking it isn't something simple

I'm just cloning the hover branch I think the original link given was for the cloned bitcraze branch!

phiamo, I have cloned your repo's from the links you gave. Flashed the CF and started the UI but the mapping doesn't seem to work on the O-button to get the stabalization working. Do I have to edit the mapping manually or have you hard coded it?

to answer my own question the easiest method is to copy the repo link from bit bucket into tortoiseHG which is on the VM desktop http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/0.9/clone.html. you can then compile the firmware as normal (method shown in wiki) and just run the python code from its cloned loca...

had issues where i couldn't get the VM to work with the radio. The solution for me was to uninstall the latest version of Oracle Virtual box (4.2.12) download 4.1.26 and the extension pack that matches and then install them. Start VB, click on the bitcraze virtual machine, click settings, click on U...
