Hi all,
I got last day the small board. Really impressive, it seems really well done and I was really happy of the FCT program which makes the configuration of the copter easy.
I tried to program my board for my VTAIL 500. I didn’t change too much from the standard values. I simply played with the receiver options and nothing else. Despite this I can connect my board to the copter but motors don’t get armed and nothing move…
Wires are correctly plugged. Few minutes ago I downloaded the MultiWii apllication to check what is going on on my board. I found there that:
]my receiver is rightly recognized. Moving the sticks on the radio I can see the values per channel changing;/:m] ]motors don’t react to any of the inputs. They stay steadly at 1000 (see picture
/:m] ]http://s1.postimg.org/fho6fcvvj/quadrino.jpg)/:m]What is wrong with my board?
Another question: it seems that only the VTAIL 400 is recognized. Should I use the same profile for my VTAIL 500? Are thay equivalent?
Nice to know you like our Lynxmotion Quadrino Nano.
About the FCT, we will improve the software constantly to give other function to setup.
We are making complete manuals about the FCT / WinGUI / Quadrino Nano and they will be in more details about the proper way to setup the copter.
There are two options for GUI at the end of the FCT which give you the option to Install / Start them. WinGUI or MultiWiiConf.
We will not support the MultiWiiConf software anymore as it’s getting outdated but keep it available since it’s the one that came with Multiwii.
You can have a look at our Older manuals here. Until we have the new one available, they will guide you in the steps needed to setup a MultiWii board.

]It’s important that you make the End-Point setup in your Transmitter before doing anything/:m] ]Calibration of both the ACC and MAG are needed (Accelerometer and Magnetometer)/:m] ]Motor output will not move unless you have “Armed” the board/:m]
Let us know how it went after those steps in the manuals.
That was the point…I didn’t know that I must arm the motors by moving the sticks.
Anyway you say to calibrate accelerometers and magnetic compass as well.
Since I found out the procedure for the accelerometers, I didn’t find the procedure for the magnetic compass.
How should I calibrate them?
Is there any paper or documentation about that?
We will add the information about “Stick Commands” in the manual. Sorry for not pointing that to you.
The Mag (Magnetometer / Compass) is easy to calibrate too. It’s a matter of starting the calibration and move your Quadrino Nano / UAV 360deg in each axis.
Complete procedure from MultiWii WiKi page.
