X-3D-BL upgrade: FunPilot installation

[tittap123]

This is a trasmitter signals screenshot for comparison. I've a Mx-12 and I fly always in Acc mode so channel 6 is NC and for pressure sensor I have ext2 on channel 5.

[Arale]

you're right I changed something in channel 6. I will put it back to original value.

Pierre, I removed the jumper after I updated the X-base.

Thanks

My sticks configuration is:

On the left stick:

up-down: throttle (gas or schub)
left-right:yaw (gier)

On the right stick:

up-down: nick (pitch)
left-right: roll

So if you have the same configuration to put the motor start you have to pull down and left/right the gas stick.

I think you have a different stick set up. So look il x-control transmitter set up if gas stick is on the left.

My actual transmitter set up is like on x-3d-bl manual on page 22 here: http://www.gibonok.altervista.org/X-3D-BL-IT.pdf

The problem is solved !!!

I've installed again the x-base firmware and now everything is ok.
Thanks to all the people that took some times to help me.
Today it's sunny with no wind so a perfect day for a first flight.

Hi all,
I have a last question regarding the new funpilot and the ACC.
I've done the calibration of the acc by following the instructions given by X-control, I also check a topic in this forum that gives pictures on how to position the xufo during the calibration.

I took a look to the english manual and it's said that when the ufo is horizontal the Z value should be -1000 but in my case after the calibration I have something like -3000...

Do I have to do something else to get the right values when my ufo is oriented in the x, y or z axis? do you change manually the factors to get the right values?

Maybe someone could post a screenprint of these values to check if mine are more or less ok?

Many thanks for your help.

I tried again to fix my problem, I did again the autocalibration of the ACC. The output value of Z is still -3000.
Besides I have noticed that the x and z outputs were always oscillating around their value (I guess it's normal since the sensor is aquiring permanently data), but the Y output value is not oscillating at all, if I shaked the xufo in every direction the y value is still not moving.
Any advices?
Thanks

Here is my acc screenshot. Z is never -3000. When I take by hand the ufo and shake it slowly every axis value change continuously.
Have you the right x-acc firmware for x-base?

Here is my sensor data from FP in quite.

Here is sensor data from FP moving pitch roll and yaw

Thanks for your picture.
The graphs on my funpilot are ok, when I move around all axes I can see all signals.
I did again and again the acc calibration but I always have the same strange values.

I removed the acc board to check if everything was ok and I noticed that the edge of the board was a little bit damaged showing the track, the track seems to be cut in two.
I send a e-mail to asctec support, I received my kit three days ago and I didn't already fly so I hope the acc is under garantee. I already waited 6 weeks to receive my kit and I will have to delay my first flight

I will take a better picture tomorrow with a binocular at my work to show to the asctec support the damaged edge. I think the problem is probably coming from this...

[tittap123]

Try your first flight without x-acc. So you can check if there are something else wrong!
I want to see the damage better too! Post your picture. Thanks Titta

I just looked at the X-ACC layout. The damage could have cut the wire holding the signal for the y-axis. This would explain why your y-axis does not move. And also why your x and z axis are calibrated incorrectly. During calibration all three axis are dependant on each other.
If it is really so, (a better picture would help quite a lot), you have to options. Resolder the wire yourself between the two parts which it connected on the upper side (if you want to do this, I would tell you what you would have to connect), or send the X-ACC to AscTec for repair/exchange.
As you asked about warranty in your email to us: As it doesn't seem to be your fault it is of course under warranty.
And in case you didn't already read about how we handle warranty in general: If you want to repair it yourself, to safe time and fly directly, you also keep warranty. Except if you damage something which was working before, while you try to repair it. (i.e. bad soldering skills or similar).

PS: As you already explained in detail everything here on the xufo-forum, and also wrote the mail to asctec, I hope it's ok, that I'll answer only here, instead of answering the email you sent to asctec support, too. (If not just tell me)

[Arale]

Hi Falkor, it's fine for me if you answer here on the forum.
I will take better pictures tomorrow with the microscope in order to give you a better view on it. We will see then what we will do (soldering myself or sending it back to you).

Thanks again for the efficient support.

Here are the pictures, I hope it's detailed enough to see everything.
