ME-tanParticipant
I could also send you the board I just replaced, though it has a temperamental USB port and is a bit beaten up. I’d only ever flown a whoop before building it a couple of years ago and it’s had a few arboreal arguments in its time but still just about goes. I was gonna reflow it and keep it as a spare for my mini-tri as that still has a naze on it.
ME-tanParticipantThanks! Already broke one but I suspect that this will work better in TPU instead of PLA.
ME-tanParticipantYeah I’m on the integrated FC. dRonin sounds really interesting as I’d like to have access to a decent GPS hold. If that does get properly ported to the integrated FC I’m certainly willing to give it a go. I did also try iNav a while back and couldn’t get that working .
I just reverted back to Triflight 0.5 again to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake while rebuilding the hardware, and it’s flying fine on that. I’d like to see if anyone else is testing the V4 on the new firmware and get some joy out of it as the betaflight based ones are just eating all my props.
ME-tanParticipantTried the same with stock PIDs to see what would happen and it doesn’t get off the ground in still air before oscillating and trying to do a high speed roll on the ground.
ME-tanParticipantHi there,
I just rebuilt my Tricopter V4 with a new FC so decided to reflash to Triflight 0.7 beta 3 while I was at it. Test hover was ok in gentle breezes so I took it to some open land to complete the in-air tail tune, got a couple of feet off the ground, wind blows on it, copter oscillated heavily, then began flipping out and buried half a prop deep into the ground. My gut feeling is the recommended PIDs which worked fine for me on 0.5 based on Cleanflight no longer work on 0.7 so if someone has recommended ones for me to at least start with I’d appreciate it, but if someone could check my settings for mistakes that’d also be good. My diff is as follows:

ME-tanParticipantI think moving towards a design that can take a standard stack will future proof it. Perhaps even integrating the base plate with the tail as per the baby-tri.
I’m probably going to replace the f3fc with a drilled/cut base plate and stack myself as the FC is getting a bit cranky and I want to replace it with something new and reliable anyway.
ME-tanParticipantI also tilt my cams. I’m usually recording forward flight so it gives me a better shot to do that. You’re not alone in tilting.
ME-tanParticipantI used the full sized minim and mounted it pretty much the same way. Only trouble was I had a failsafe and the extra mass of the minim broke the zip ties off the mounting board purely through inertia and tore up my wiring (I remade that longer to allow for more movement afterwards) I’m planning on adding more zip tie holes much like the landing struts have to prevent it breaking off as easily again.
ME-tanParticipantJust be warned that some of the GPS w/ compass modules out there, the compass orientation doesn’t line up with the arrow printed on the module, and you need to rotate it in the configurator. Trial and error testing sorted this out for me.
ME-tanParticipantTested that, only 0 degree everything and 180 degree pitch move the picture correctly.
Ed – Reverted back to Cleanflight to test my config was correct, and all my peripherals that had stopped working in CF now work again for some reason. I’m gonna hold off on upgrading and let people who know what they are doing (i.e. not me) figure out how to config this on the v4.
ME-tanParticipantI’m right to set the FC to 180 degree pitch? V4 is currently doing somersaults just above the ground when I throttle up.
Zero degrees just span, tried 180 degree roll instead and broke a prop spectacularly…
ME-tanParticipantIdiot here,
The old triflight was giving me grief (refused to save my settings and stopped talking to my GPS), Tried iNav but it kept telling me I was out of CPU, so just flashed this. So far all the stuff that wasn’t working seems to be going now.
Should I be using stock PIDs or the ones on the v4 shop page with it for its first flight with this firmware?
This is a stock v4, recommended electronics and 5v for the servo (want to add LEDs later and will need the extra current out of the BEC)
22 April, 2017 at 20:23 in reply to: Cannot connect to tricopter in Cleanflight ?? Firmware update required ? #37361ME-tanParticipantI got it last week. The solution is to enable the developer mode in Chrome and install the older version of the Cleanflight configurator. New Betaflight based firmware is undergoing testing which will fix this problem.
ME-tanParticipantAs someone who knows nothing about programming, instead of porting triflight to merge it with betaflight, what about merging it with iNav? I realise this is probably a silly idea but I’m genuinely curious as to whether that is even possible.
ME-tanParticipantI’m late to this thread, but i’ve been poking at their forum and neither their forum rules, nor their T&Cs for registering an account mention an age limit, so that’s a bit off. I would understand if they wanted to cover their arse legally, and many forums do, but it should at the very least be in the site’s rules if they want to ban people over it.
