Quardrino Nano

Purchased your Quadrino nano, It was advertised to have a mega chip, to allow hacking, etc.

Problem: Im writing my own code, but no where can I find a pinout for this thing

How is the GPS connected?
Where can I find wiring harnesses for the SERVO plug, and I2c ports, General IO pins etc.

I cannot get the configuration software to work on windows, or linux with wine.

So i have a $150 dollar block of plastic, I purchased this because I was behind on a project for a customer, and at this point
with absolutly no documentation, Im no better off than I was with modular components.

As yo ucan see, I am frustrated, When I spend this much, it should have documentation OR got the $99 dollar deal, and not COMPLETELY rely on a non-cross platform configuration tool

Now it was my fault on the multiwii stuff, I had no idea there was no real GCS for multiwii, but I should be able to set this up for APM rover with no problem,
however I dont what pin is what.

What can you do to help me on this?

As a starting point is the pre-configured MultiWii 2.4 file:

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1][highlight=#ffffff]We are working on complete manuals about the Quadrino Nano that will give all those information.[/highlight][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=1][highlight=#ffffff]Just like any other hardware, with pinout etc. To start off, here are some info.[/highlight][/size][/font]

Thank you so much!

Again I apologise for responding when frustrated, Ill do my best not to do that again! LOL!

Ill play with this, With this knowledge, I shold be able to play, and create a pass-through if needed.

You have been wonderful!

John

We are really looking forward for an APM port/compatibility.
That would be a nice additiion… :wink:

Well, Im not as snappy as I thought, I cant connect tiny gps up to the gps system, could you send me the passthrough sketch so I can work with the gps?

Thanks again,

John

Here is the Pass-Through sketch, once loaded you can use the GNSS too.
Keep in mind that once you change the GPS protocol it will not work anymore with MultiWii. There is an application we use to flash the Arduino Bootloader and test our Quadrino Nano boards.
This can write back the needed parameters if ever you need to go back. I will ask our team about those parameters exactly.

Thanks again, I greatly apprciate your response!

You can look at the GPS file in the MultiWii configured file we posted earlier too.
