Thanks!
And it is really very useful to find good balanced Propellers. I checked a unbalanced configuration vs. a balanced one and it is phenomenal! With the balanced configuration the CF is more silent, has more lift and the fly time is longer.
I'm planning to implement a button on the Controller for a manually start of the balancing self test e.g. after a crash. Next step is to find out how the existing crash detection works and start the self test before next start. The CF should say how bad the damage was since the first start.
The current version of the balancing self test has a information level like OK/BAD/FAIL maybe in percent % next.
I still have a problem with the DEBUG_PRINT() in the CF FW sometimes the FW freezes course of to long strings and continues after connection. And float formatting like %2.3f doesn't work, too. Bug reported!
It would also be very helpful if there is a Tab in the CF client for testing and developing like soft test buttons, test buttons which are mapped to the controller, test view for different datatypes and all connected down to test variables in the CF FW.
And thanks to you guys from bitcraze to share your CF Project with us, I have so much FUN with it!

Hi,
i want to share my CF FW with Propeller Balancing Self Test. ->LINK<-
It shows at start up in the CF Client Console the propeller condition in percent. 100% means low vibration e.g. no Propellers there.
Here my actual Propeller Conditions:
Resolution of the self test is +-1%
Propeller on M3 is a perfect ONE!

Will you be doing a pull request on the official repo?

It might be usefull to know which acceleration value is defined as beeig 100% and which 0% (I assume something like 0.6 to 2.0)?
