Gyroscopes (Gyros)
For a proper flight function the gyroscopes need to be calibrated after connecting a LiPo.
If you don't do that you are not able to start the Kopter and a warning tone will sound while trying to start the Kopter.
On your transmitter you do as follows:
•
Throttle-Stick up
and
•
Yaw-Stick to the left
A confirmation tone comes from the Kopter.
(depends on the setting1-5 „beep tones“)
After successful calibration the motors can be started.
(Example transmitter: MODE 2 )
Compass
A properly calibrated compass ensures a smooth operation of the GPS functions.
When should the compass be re-calibrated?
This can be necessary if:
•
you change the location you are flying by more than a few hundred kilometers.
•
The software been renewed or updated.
•
The error codes „error6“ or „error22“ been displayed in the KopterTool.
•
The Kopter is not starting after the calibration of the Gyroscopes.
•
the Kopter is not holding the position in the function „PositionHold“ (See: Functions / Flight modes) and makes
bigger circles instead.
➢
That can is caused throughout bad calibration of the compass,
➢
or if you fly in a different location.
Calibrate the compass away from interfering magnetic fields and also outside of buildings.
The following example images of the transmitter are shown in
MODE 2 .
The calibration of the compass is done in several steps:
Step 1 - Initiate compass calibration
Method:
•
Pull Nick downwards
and then
•
Throttle up + Yaw to the left
(the Kopter beeps 1x)
Step 2 - Start calibration of the X+Y Axis
Method:
•
Pull Nick 1x downwards
(the Kopter beeps 2x and the buzzer of the Kopter
will give a creaky tone)
Step 3 - Calibration of the X-Axis (Nick-Axis)
Method:
