help a noob

[mummi]

I am about to get my Turnigy9x and am wondering which people recommend for multicopters open9x or er9x? I am completely new to this and not sure which suits me more. My multicopter is equipped with a multiwii flight controller and I think I will probably stick with multiwii. I would like to know what people are using with their multiwii (firmware and hardware mods).

Also any general tips would be helpful

This helps me too but i have KK2 controller and have on the way frsky telemetry and DHT DIY and many other mods.
Plan some er9z or open9x and is useful heli mode?

Heli functions are NOT used for multicopters. open9x or er9x will both be fine, it's mostly a question of personal preference.

[janekx]

I read that at heli is posible tune throttle better to get smoother response from hover

The heli features only add the cyclic mixing. The rest (expo, curves etc) is part of the standard version.

OK. how should I setup the Tx then, as an airplane or?

[janekx]

How can I choose if er9x or open it is only GUI?

Both are equaly good for what you want to use it for. There is actually very little difference between the GUIs since both open9x and Er9x have a common code history.
I prefer open9x since there is a Swedish translation. Er9x has been around longer and probably has a larger following.

I thing i will start with open, semeone told me that there is nicer telemetry GUI then er9x

Thats what I needed to hear I was trying to find some multicopter templates but wasn't successful. Does any one know where I could find one?

[janekx]

I doing voice module and read many replyes about and MikeB told there that some developers now work for open then er9x

For multicopters there is not much difference. If you fly gliders, go for the flight fases of open9x!

Just use the 4 channel plane template.
Create a curve for your throttle and assign that to you throttle mix.
Add an extra mix for channel 5 with full/max and assign a switch for your mode change.

So better choose templates then heli?

Ok just to be sure I should use plane and not heli?

[Peter]

No heli. Heli settings are only there for adding swashplate mixing and quadcopters do not have a swashplate. Mixing is done in the flight controller board.

Sorry I am still confused, could you be a bit more specific?

[janekx]

That mean that you can take some template and customise it.
You only tell control board what you want and where fly and board calculate motors and gyros and accel to do this am I right?

I am pretty sure it did NOT mean that...

[janekx]

Looks that it will be more interesting I expect

For multicopters, all you have to do is create a new model (turns up as standard 4-channel airplane) and you're done. Nothing more is needed. All the work is done by the multicopter's computer. The only thing you might have to adjust is limits/subtrim/reverse, and set dual rates and/or expo as desired.

Awesome thanks!

Yes, I did mean that, you are right.

[janekx]

Lost in mean and not mean nevermind.
In companion i found that some combinations of modes are not possible because of small memory in t9x.
So for multicopter will not need heli and tamplates and will got memory for voice telemetry and other ...right?

Exact.
