Very cool!

Did you use the same pid settings with the camera on-board?

Yes,
But with camera-it's something else.
The camera must be down!

I'm just a little wind at flying, what I noticed is when I want to fly against the wind I'm not against it, the UAV remains in place ... but the tendency is there but in degrees of the wind because it should not matter?

Hi,

I just manage to build up a couple of Quad ... that are perfectly working with the simple & cheap KK boards.

I have a 500mm and a 250mm ... so a "regular" quad and a micro quad.

I have the gluonpilot board ... I just would like to know if the quadcopter firmware support is in the native source code of the gluonpilot ... or markus was doing something at firmware level

Markus used the firmware from the SVN (or the special firmware from the download section).

You should use the quaternion ahrs c-file instead of the kalman c-file for quadrocopter mode.

Are you planning to play around with the firmware?

I have a microQuad, the gluonpilot board is looking it can fit easy
I did already customized your firmware with FrSky telemetry support some time ago ...

So, maybe I will play with FW again ;)

Is the old/current board still supported once you are ready with the new board?
Same CPU?

The biggest change will be the MPU-6000 instead of the analog sensors. Those analog sensors are end of life...
The firmware will remain compatible with the old board.

Good luck with the change. I was never successful in making small quads fly... Maybe my flying skills, but I blame vibrations ;-)

MPU-6000 look interesting ... 1 chip instead of 3.

Why you are not adding also a magnetometer ? The 3 axis chip cost almost nothing.

About my quad ... I just start flying quad few days ago ... I have 2, a micro (220mm) and sort of standard (500mm) .. both flying now with cheap KK board from HobbyKing ... and fly it is easy for both of them, and I'm not a very skilled pilot ... but as help, the micro quad has a KK2.0 that has gyro+acc = autolevel support ... the bigger quad use a old KK board with ATmega48 CPU ... still it does the job fine.

Propellers are not properly balanced, but still it does not matter much.

About new board ... if you can make it 5x5 cm ... it will fit most "common" control board plugs.

ps: I think the key of quad is high control rate over the ESC + good quality firmware on the ESC
