Sorry I have not been on here sooner... I didn't get an email when someone posts to this thread...
Hope it not to late to help...







Make sure the soldering iron is pretty hot like 700 to 800 deg when removing the wires from the boards.
This way it will come off quicker and not heat up the board and damage it.

 

[wolfman76]

What about a nunchuck do i need to get 1 of those too

 

[breeze400]

Craig, what do you think of the multiwii board for sail all over e bay?

 

[Tasajara]

Not to sure what to think... I have heard mixed reviews about them working good.



As far as the nunchuck, you don't have to have one to have a good flying controler. It is used for auto leveling. If you think you would like the feature just add it to the board.
There will be a little more setup to do when you add the extra board.

 

[wolfman76]

Oh ok was just wondering

 

[wolfman76]

Should i wait to install The 3v3 parts

 

[wolfman76]

Our will it make a difference

 

[wolfman76]

Here is the first my first multiwii board

hey craig does the Adrunio pro mini board already have the software installed on it or is there somewhere i need to go to download it???? And i was also wondering if it has a GPS function or ad-on

 

[Tasajara]

You do have to load the code onto the WII control board, the GPS would need an extra board. I have not done the GPS so i don't know much abou that.

here are a few links that may help a bit

even the new 2.1, I have not tried it yet though.

 

[wolfman76]

the photo i posted of the board actually shows it is arcing at one of the soldering points i don't know why all solder joints are good. Do you have any ideas it only arcs when i connect via the usb on the computer... Oh yeah on the frame it only called for 8" front arm and 10" rear which was for use with 8" props... i made them 10" in front and 12" in rear due to my motors i have use 11" props...
