sooraj.palakkad · November 26, 2014, 10:40:03 AM

Most of the students where in front of me, so not in the frame.

Hey if ur using multiwii v2.5 I mean if u had used it can u send me the firmware and pid values ??

sooraj.palakkad · November 26, 2014, 04:26:03 PM

Well, currently it is flying with KK2.0
But I can send you latest multiwii firmware.
But PID values differ for each build, so you have to tune it yourselves.

sooraj.palakkad · November 26, 2014, 04:40:24 PM

@cyberhack, Check mail.

Flying well after PI tuning, Flying to the heights.

SK1701 · December 01, 2014, 07:44:33 PM

Nice flying

I still have not got a chance to go that high. It has started getting very windy now.

sooraj.palakkad · December 01, 2014, 07:51:10 PM

don't fly with KK2 in High currents, it's not safe.

shijin ps · December 01, 2014, 09:37:45 PM

Awesome man....

Very nice and stable flying.

sooraj.palakkad · December 01, 2014, 09:53:13 PM

@Shijin, Thanks.
Eagerly waiting for your Heli !

yashd95 · December 02, 2014, 10:56:10 AM

the stability of the quad is impressive.
could you tell me from where you learnt about the pi tuning?
ive been through many resources but havent managed to perfect it
thanks

pushpreet · December 02, 2014, 12:33:00 PM

Wow.
That's really stable.
Ad perfect landing.

arun21 · December 02, 2014, 12:43:30 PM

Oops how did I miss this.... Pretty good and stable build in budget...

sooraj.palakkad · December 02, 2014, 04:29:49 PM

Thanks everyone,
@pushpreet, The landing, is hard learned - I now understand why experts always wish a newb "Happy landing" than Happy flying !!
@yashd91, I followed the same steps in kk2 manual, however , I will post the same again.

Sooraj nice quad. Please ensure flying exactly over the head can cause brown out.

sooraj.palakkad · December 02, 2014, 10:41:57 PM

thks, but what's brown out ?
all i know on that term is "A brownout is an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system. "
but how it relates here

SK1701 · December 03, 2014, 06:55:50 AM

As per my Tx manual, the signal is weakest in the axis of the antenna. Perhaps he means that if the Tx and Rx are aligned (like over your head) there may be a signal loss (brownout).

sooraj.palakkad · December 03, 2014, 07:42:52 AM

oh I see, but I have Rx antenna horizontally laid down (parallel to the ground),and I usually have the Tx antenna folded, not pointing upward -
Anyway I haven't experimented with these antennas at all, and will be doing so next time

SK1701 · December 03, 2014, 08:16:01 AM

Here's a screenshot from my manual. Just to illustrate. If your Tx antenna is not pointing directly at the Rx antenna, it should not be a problem.

sooraj.palakkad · December 03, 2014, 08:31:17 AM

Yeah, I get it, I keep Tx antenna not pointed , it is usually kept folded, to a side.
