WIKI: improvement proposals from newbies experiences

[afernan]

@Joebar : true, but it´s not obvious for a newbie that starts with AQ what things are defined inside the AQ code or in the QGC (I saw it was defined in the AQ code). In this case I thought that the Rx selection was done at QGC level (a kind of interpreter) not in the AQ code, but I was wrong.

I think WIKI should be always a compromise between sinthetic-but-complete information and excesive info. And this is a difficult selection cause the users has wide expertise levels: from very low to very high. You can kill a lot of potential users simply by this (the wiki approach).

The loadable example file for the motor mixing have the extension .TXT, it should have .MIX
otherwise it will not show if you want to load it in QG.

Hi Frank,

That's why I mentioned the 'rename to .mix' in the download section. Wordpress would not allow a .mix to upload.
But, I'll make an extra line on that mixing table page for those that use that direct link..
Thanks,
Menno

Sorry I just read over that line

Menno, we could also save them as *.mix files and zip them.
Some browsers open text files directly which might be confusing to some.

In Step3: cal –mag calculations. a screenshot of the output AND a explanation what to do with the data (I suppose the same as the steps before, copy, past save?) would be handy.

I am close to setting up the motor mixer and was looking again at the Wiki for reference. Some questions regarding the Motor Mixing Table section.

I am not quite sure what the following sentence means. "A forward motion need to be done by the two forward motors at the same time as a roll or aft motion." Is it saying that for a Quad-X, any tilt along an axis is performed by the 2 motors on the same side of the axis?

The example diagram

Should the rotation of motors M5 and M13 be opposite to what the arrows depict?
The yaw +/-sign in the mixing table below the diagram seems correct, at least in the conventional rotation direction for a quad.

Man ... I've looked at this pic a thousand times - I didn't notice it.
You're right - M5 & 13 are wrong. Thx for your finding.

Shoot, now I see why it is not working correct at my table, thanks GoFaster!
