I hope this is a better home for the discussion I would like to initiate. I started a thread on 02-March-2017 on tuning PID tuning a 500 mm quad and it has been a very useful exercise. I started with a quad fitted with a BeeRotor F3 and after 3 month of frustration I decide to ditch the BeeRotor using BetaFlight in favour of the same frame fitted with a Flip32-OmnibusF3 using iNav. A suggestion was to flash the BeeRotor with iNav (iNav_1.7.0_SPRacingF3.hex), easy enough after finding the instructions on the iNav Firmware page quite confusing. And the BeeRotor was transformed from a beast to a well behaved quadcopter.
The specifications for the BR quad are
Flight Controller BeeRotor F3
BetaFlight 3.0
betaflight_3.0.0_SPRACINGF3
Frame Hobby King X550
'Wheelbase' 500 mm
Emax MT2215 935 KV motors
ESC SimonK 30A
Props Gemfan 8X4.5
4S batteries
Now it is the same but flashed with iNav.
The story now gets interesting I ordered a couple of Omnibus F3 FCs, one from Banggood and soon after from Ready To Fly Quads as I had read that the Banggood one had problems with the onboard power supply. The BG example let the magic smoke out the instant I connected the Vat but found the FC still worked. This is where I now need help it flies as best described “Tazmanian Devil freak out” a term used in BetaFlight circles. As a resident in Australia I will call it for what it should be a Tassie Devil freak out. I am quite happy to help anyone that may have some questions but at the same time I need help.
The specifications for the Omnibus F3 quad are:
Flight Controller Omnibus F3
iNav 1.7.1
iNav_1.7.0_SPRacingF3.hex
Frame Hobby King X550
'Wheelbase' 500 mm
Sunny X2216-9 1100 KV motors
ESC SimonK 30A
Props Gemfan 8X4.5
4S batteries
PS I need help much sooner than expected, I wanted to reflash the firmware, that part was easy but now I cannot open the Configurator can anyone help please.
