    Hey Guy´s

    at these week i mount my Wookong M system on our Cinestar 8.
    We have some Problems with the Stability when hovering. I think we have the frong distance to the IMU center.

    On our Cinestar is an 360° Gimbal Installed so that i think the cog is under the frame.

    Can some one tell me which way is the right measure for the imu?
    Not pricesly but the way

    Thanks ahead

    Hi Philipp, here are my settings for Wookong M on a CS6 + 3 Axis gimbal, i uplaod two pictures for unterstanding...:cool:

    GPS Location :
    Y = -12
    X = 0
    Z = -21

    IMU Location :
    Y = 0
    X = -8
    Z = -5

    So be carefull...!!! all the distances ( IMU & GPS ) should be calculated from the center of gravity.
    With 2,3 Kg Battery and DSLR with Lens, i' ve found it just below the botom center plate of the frame ( Red Line on the first picture ). For the rest The center of gravity is more or less on the center of the frame...
    I hope this help you.

    Marc.

    There are other things you can try, these are settings in the autopilot for jumbo Multi like CS8, it works perfectly.

    These settings give very good results in video and you will not recognize your machine after assets in wookong, everything become so smooth...

    Settings:

    Basic Gains: 175,125,175,75
    Attitude Gains: 65,65

    Give a try and tell me what you' re thinking about these sets...:cool:

    Hi e-One Thanks for your settings!

    I have Check they quickly. It looks much better. But when i go Down with the Copter it begin to shake very much. I think more than 40° to the left And right

    I have 5.14a Beta. So you knowh what it could be??

    It' s Totally normal, all the multirotors shake (more or less, it depend on the speed) when you go down, They are disturbed by their own airflow. And Generally no videos or photos are taken during the phase of fallen...

    I' ve forget to tell you something important too, if you CS8 weighs more than 5 or 6 kg in flight, you have to push the "Motor Idle speed " at the Maximum, this will further improve the stability of the machine and avoid overheating the motors peer or odd (Pair ou Impair in french), this setting is very important...!!!:cool:

    The "Basic Gain" ( Pitch, Roll, Yaw and Vertical ) affect the response of the machine for each selected element, for example, if you want a faster response of the yaw, increase this value ... Generally, the most heavier is the machines and the must you have to increase these gains order ti be as stable as possible. If you increase too much these gains the machine will be brutal and vibrations appears, if gains are too low the machine will be very slow to respond, and almost uncontrollable. You must find the right balance for each order.
    Now for the "Attitude Gain", they affect the reaction more or less rapid of your stick control in the RC, The more these gains are lower and the more smooth your machine will fly...65% is the lower limit, after it becomes dangerous if it is necessary to avoid an obstacle quickly.:confused:

    I hope you understand, it is not easy for me to explain in English ...:rolleyes:

    Best.
    Marc.

    Hey guys

    I must once again turn to the forum!

    I currently still have big problems with my CS8 360 ° gimbal get stable!
    I have now fixed the frame of the IMU Positonsangaben not really play a role. Between measured-6cm for COG and the set 0cm happening on flight behavior nothing. So everything on 0cm :)

    My values ??are 175,125,175,110 that seems to me quite well and have other users Cinestar as plausible.
    As I Xoar Props 14/7 and the 5.14a software.
    All in all, the copter is only zero wind reasonably stable, but when I put a few seconds on a leave he starts to wobble. Once wind is something that goes geschaukele really begins.
    Moreover, it is so that when sinking without wind the copter begins to rock totally, so I have to interrupt the sink so that it stabilizes and I can go down further.
    The same effect is if I activate failsafe. But must always intervene otherwise the copter crash I believe!


    Maybe one of you has a tip for me what it could be

    Hi there. A little off topic but can I ask which Wookong M software people are running. I am still running 5.10 and a bit nervous about upgrading due to all the discussions on forums re motor failure etc with octos and 5.12 and above.
    Thanks
    Katya

    Hi Philipp, what is the size and power of your motors, and what is your Gimbal Stab and camera did you use for this video...i' ve noticed too a little problem of alignement betwen your IMU and GPS alignement...

    2.jpg

    It's better to put the GPS alignement the same as the IMU...but your problem do not come from there i' m almost sure...:cool:

    May be you should try smallers props but i think your problem came from the settings of your gimbal stab control ( The roll gain is too hight certainly ), be sure also that the balancing of your gimbal is perfectly tuned...

    This great video from Tabb will help you :cool:
