Hi mrclean1972,
Many thanks, we are really happy of this project.
More to be posted on the official thread “Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano - UAV / Drones Flight Controller”
Hi All,
Just want to take the time here to show you all the new baby we just released (which will be compatible with the VTails).
[size=3]Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano - UAV / Drones Flight Controller[/size]
6:51am bought my 500!!! Woot
So now that everything has been ordered I’ve been looking at the MultiWii setup. I read your guide last night and like it a lot, very easy to follow. Thing is as you know I went with a different flight controller. The one here:
witespyquad.gostorego.com/flight … n-276.html
Below is the forum for it.
rcgroups.com/forums/showthre … p=24740219
So my question is, after reading the forum and your guide on the MultiWii I’d like to use your guide. Similarities are that they’re both multiwii boards, both use the mpu6050, but they have different atmega chips.
I’m wondering what is the same in the setup process and what is different.
The other aspect of this is supposedly whitespy quads has preloaded the boad already with a V-Tail configuration so dunno how that will be. I assume there would still be PID adjustments to be made. Early on in this forum I saw you post a zip file to some guy, what was that?
Any, hope all is going well for you and I’ll try to keep the dumb questions to a minimum.
We have a slightly different config file for the VTail here that i put in a new Tab/File in our MultiWii files.
This can be add to the file WitespyQuad supply, so no problem there.
The PID file is in the MultiWii files we have, but this is a start point.
Don’t be affraid to ask, there is no dumb questions… 
I guess this is what I’m confused with, if he preloads everything (config, or whatever) and then I get it, when I hook up to the board and launch arduino, is it going to see what he has already loaded or am I going to be overwriting everything when I upload the new config file?
and… while I’m thinking about it, in the T-Motor bundle, the esc’s, I know I need to calibrate them with, I read that but what I didn’t see is do I need to flash them? Are they preloaded? Do I need to be buying one of those turnigy programmer thingies for escs?
I can’t seem to find the config file you mention, can I get a link?
Thanks
Hi mrclean1972,
Sorry for the long wait…
Our pre-configured files are on Lynxmotion website under “Electronic Guide”
You can download MultiWii_2_3 - MPU6050 - VTail - v1.1.zip and the file “NewVTail.h” is included in there.
I have also attached the file to this reply, you can open the WitespyQuad files and add the “NewVTail.h” in the folder.
Once that done you have to define your configuration in “Config.h” so it take the new config as default.
Find and define the VTAIL4 in config.h
/************************** The type of multicopter ****************************/
//#define GIMBAL
//#define BI
//#define TRI
//#define QUADP
//#define QUADX
//#define Y4
//#define Y6
//#define HEX6
//#define HEX6X
//#define HEX6H // New Model
//#define OCTOX8
//#define OCTOFLATP
//#define OCTOFLATX
//#define FLYING_WING
#define VTAIL4
//#define AIRPLANE
//#define SINGLECOPTER
//#define DUALCOPTER
//#define HELI_120_CCPM
//#define HELI_90_DEG
Find and define the “MY_PRIVATE_MIXING” in config.h
[code] /*********************** your individual mixing **********************/

- mixTable() function for every version again and again.

*/
#define MY_PRIVATE_MIXING “NewVTail.h”[/code]
Don’t hesitate to ask questions…
NewVTail.h (1.49 KB)
Thanks Eric, just what I was looking for. T-Motor bundle got delayed again, but very excited nonetheless.
here are a few pictures of my build. I’m almost finished, next will be the software side of things. That’s the part I’m not looking forward to.
That will be some lightning…
I made the change and get this error:
This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
enabled in File > Preferences.
Arduino: 1.0.6 (Windows 7), Board: “Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK”
In file included from EEPROM.cpp:130:
/NewVTail.h: In function ‘void update_constants()’:
NewVTail.h:24: error: ‘PIDMIX’ was not declared in this scope
Can you zip you multiwii folder and post it as attachment?
I looked at EEPROM.cpp and saw that the newvtail.h wasn’t included so I tried adding that there and got this:

No… Don’t do that.
You should not have to change anything but in the config.h
And add the “newvtail.h” in the folder
lol, I didn’t save it, I just have no idea what I’m doing lol…
and what are you doing online on a Friday night anyway, lol…
Oh… I have my email etc on my phone.
Always near…
If you manage to zip it, I could look.
I posted it, the zip file, the one at 20:25
