Looking for some help in wiring up the MK Double Quadro V3 Cool in an X8 config on a Cinestar 8 frame, 4 booms. Did some digging and came up with the following: Wiring: Motor 1 => Controller 1 (A: Gr, B: Bl, C: Sw) Motor 2 => Controller 2 (A: Green, B: Bl, C: Sw) Engine 3 => Controller 3 (A: Bl, B: Gr, C: Sw) Engine 4 => Controller 4 (A: Bl, B: Gr, C: Sw) Engine 5 => Controller 5 (A: Gr, B: Bl, C: Sw) Engine 6 => Controller 6 (A: Gr, B: Bl, C: Sw) Engine 7 => Controller 7 (A: Bl, B: Gr, C: Sw) Engine 8 => Controller 8 (A: Bl, B: Gr, C: Sw) This was one config I was able to pull off the German wiki for MK. Yet I also see another: Stumped at the moment on how to move ahead. Derek
Odd... duplicate posting http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/mk-double-quadro-v3-cool-cinestar-x8-wiring.5165/ ignore this one
Derek: I suspect that you could use either one provided that: 1. The motors on a given boom rotate in opposite directions. 2. The Mixer table is correct for the configuration. If you're curious about Mixer tables I found quite a good description: Gas- All motors that are used get +64. Motors that are not used get 0 for all their settings.Pitch (Nick)- Draw a picture of your copter, [I think he means a plan view from above. Andy] then draw a horizontal line through the center. Every motor that is above the line [That is, towards the front of the copter. Andy] gets +64. Every motor below the line gets -64. If the motor is on the line, then it gets 0.Roll- Draw a vertical line through the center of the picture. Every motor on the left side of the line [The left hand side of the copter. Andy.] gets +64. Every motor on the right side of the line gets -64. Every motor on the line gets 0.Yaw- Every prop that turns clockwise when looking down at it gets +64. Every prop that turns counter clockwise gets -64.If you follow the above rules, you will be able to make a mixer table for any configuration you want to tryPS- Technically, not all numbers should be +-64. When this came out, they said to make them proportional to the distance the motor was from the center line. When you look through the pre-defined options, you'll see that they use +-64 for everything. I've tried it both ways, and if anything, I think it works better using +-64 than trying to make them proportional.See http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15964797&postcount=15361 That said, I've only ever used the standard ones built into MK Tool. Andy.
These are the settings you want ..... from the MK Wiki .... The work well with the double quadro board setup
