Soz can't really help as I'm sporting F3+F4 boards. On both CF/BF. Just missed out on MW I started in naze3poo :mad:
SPF3 & recently a couple of omnibus.
You could put a better board in that walkera. You can get F3's for £14$16.
 
yeah...but for the fact that i stretched my budged really tight...just spent 200 on the quad...bought the DIY kit...and such...but im going to try to buy the nazi 32 for under $52 in the next month or two...but then i have to replace the receiver...and such...so....yea.........

so i found the uart drivers...and everything...but i still cant see the quad.... :( using 2.4 (trying to) but i wonder if it works with 2.2! do i have to have aurdrino? (mispeeelllledddd)
 
Do you know cleanflight and betaflight will soon no longer be supported on chrome. If it's not already.
What flight program are you using.
Openpilot
BF
CF
 
I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING...finallllyyyy.....after redoing my computer and redoing all my drivers, and using a different cable, and installing a different walkera flight config, i finally got it so see my computer and multiwii to see the quad...

thank you guys for all your help and sorry for interrupting this thread...!

I really screwed up this time. I think my battery cable came undone at 200 feet. Luckily I always fly it over my own house when I get to high altitude. It came crashing down on my own deck... Little pieces everywhere. It came down so fast, and it served as a reminded, these large drones are dangerous toys.

That is bad!

I hope that never happens to my Syma X8C!:eek:
 
Your battery connection idea certainly has merit and with it being your drone, you'd know best, however to me I would think if your receiver has it, it almost seems like a failsafe drop. I know I've had issues like that where it seems just fine; nothing in the way or anything that would appear to block reception and then all of a sudden for a split second I lose connection between my RX and TX and the drone just drops from the sky lol. Sorry to see your drone die like that, though. Dramatic though!
 
My flight controller is a Naza v m2. I have it programed to raise a couple of hundred feet and then return home if communication between the transmitter and receiver is lost. I think I am going to go with the battery cable. When it landed, the battery cable was disconnected but the battery was still strapped in place, and there was enough slack on the cable that should have given it a little leeway if it were moved around on impact. But since I don't know for sure, I do not know if I should trust any of the components.
