= Step 12 - Calibration =
== Requirement ==
 * '''Step11''' has been read.


== Calibration ==
Now that in the previous "Step's" the right function of the transmitter has been checked and (if necessary) the right mixer has been set, <<BR>>
you can start with the calibration. <<BR>><<BR>>

== Calibration ACC ==

First at all you calibrate the ACC. That you have to do only __one time__.<<BR>>
(Only in case of an error or after downloading new software you should repeat it)<<BR>><<BR>>

'''1. The Kopter should stand straight.''' <<BR>>
 (An inclined position influence the calibration and leads to errors during the start or in the flight behavior.) <<BR>><<BR>>

{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=97274&g2_serialNumber=6}}<<BR>>
A circular level can help to align the Kopter in a straight way: [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=88&products_id=263|Link]]<<BR>><<BR>>

'''2. Over the transmitter the ACC will be now calibrated. ''' <<BR>>

||<class="MK_THeader" width= 350px>Here now you need to move<<BR>>the sticks as follows:||<class="MK_THeader">On a transmitter in '''MODE 2'''<<BR>>it looks like in that way:||
||<:>Throttle up + Yaw right<<BR>>(hold it for more then 5 seconds)<<BR>><<BR>>Nick middle<<BR>>Roll middle||<:>{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=93564&g2_serialNumber=4}}||
<<BR>><<BR>>

'''3. The Kopter acknowledges the ACC calibration with beep-tones.''' <<BR>>
 Depending on where in the 5 Setting's you are the Kopter confirms with that numbers of beeps.<<BR>>
 '''Example:''' We are in the Setting 3 (Easy). The Kopter "beeps" 3x to confirm.<<BR>><<BR>>

'''DONE'''
<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>



== Calibration Gyro's ==

Before every initial startup or after changing the Lipo a new calibration of the Gyro's __must__ be done.<<BR>>
If you don't do it the Kopter will give you an error message and "beebs" while trying to start the engines.<<BR>>
'''INFO:''' The servo outputs of the FlightCtrl are only available over the transmitter (if set) after the calibration of the gyros. Not before. <<BR>><<BR>>

'''1. The Kopter should stand on the ground and __not__ moving or shaking (IMPORTAND !!!).''' <<BR>>
 (The Kopter can stand horizontal or also be stand hillsided in an inclined position. For a horizontal flight of the Kopter the right calibrated ACC will help!) <<BR>><<BR>>

'''2. Over the transmitter now calibrate the Gyro's. ''' <<BR>>

||<class="MK_THeader" width= 350px>Here now you need to move<<BR>>the sticks as follows:||<class="MK_THeader">On a transmitter in '''MODE 2'''<<BR>>it looks like in that way:||
||<:>Throttle up + Yaw left<<BR>><<BR>>Nick middle<<BR>>Roll middle||<:>{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=93576&g2_serialNumber=4}}||
<<BR>><<BR>>

'''3. The Kopter acknowledges the ACC calibration with beep-tones.''' <<BR>>
 Depending on where in the 5 Setting's you are the Kopter confirms with that numbers of beeps.<<BR>>
 '''Example:''' We are in the Setting 3 (Easy). The Kopter "beeps" 3x to confirm.<<BR>><<BR>>

'''DONE'''
<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>



== Calibration Compass ==

Is on a Kopter already the GPS-System installed (!NaviCtrl, Compass, MKGPS) you __must__ calibrate the compass.<<BR>>
Until this is done, in the virtual display you see the "error6" message. <<BR>>
(If you doesn't calibrate the compass, you can not start the Kopter and he will "beep" if you try to start him.) <<BR>><<BR>>

It depends on a right calibrated compass that the function of the GPS-functions like !PositionHold" works well.<<BR>><<BR>>

'''1. Disconnect the Kopter from the MK-USB.''' <<BR>>
 If you want to calibrate the compass correctly you should go outside. <<BR>>
 {i} Subjected to any disturbing magnetic influences you shouldn't do the calibration close to the house or close to power poles.<<BR>><<BR>>

'''2. Over the transmitter the compass will be now calibrated. ''' <<BR>><<BR>>

__The LEDs look in that way:__ <<BR>>
 !NaviCtrl V2.0 => 
  * green and red LED '''ON'''.<<BR>>
 !NaviCtrl V1.1 with MK3Mag=> 
  * !NaviCtrl V1.1 = green and red LED '''ON''', MK3Mag = green LED '''flashes'''.<<BR>><<BR>>

 The calibration will be done in several steps: <<BR>><<BR>>

||'''Step 3'''<<BR>>Finish the calibration of the X and Y-Axis||<:>'''Pull Nick 1x down'''<<BR>><<BR>>(The Kopter beeps 3x)||<:>{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=97303&g2_serialNumber=2}}||

||Calibration of the '''Z-Axis''' (Yaw-Axis)||<:>INFO: Here it doesn't matter if the Kopter shows with the X or Y-Axis towards South (North).<<BR>><<BR>>Rotate the Kopter a few times over the Roll- or Nick-Axis until the buzzer stops with the clicking starts.||<:>{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=97710&g2_serialNumber=2}}||
||'''Step 5'''<<BR>>Finish the calibration of the Z-Axis.||<:>'''Pull Nick 1x down'''<<BR>><<BR>>The Kopter confirms it with 2 beeps||<:>{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=97303&g2_serialNumber=2}}||

<<BR>><<BR>>

'''3. Now that the Kopter "beeped" 2x after a successful calibration that part is done.''' <<BR>>
 If everything is OK the red LED stops lighting after a few seconds on the !NaviCtrl V2.0 with integrated compass.<<BR>>
 If you use a !NaviCtrl V1.1 with MK3Mag the red LED on the MK3Mag lights permanently.<<BR>><<BR>>

'''DONE!'''
<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>


After the calibration of the compass the Kopter can be connected again to the MK-USB.
<<BR>><<BR>><<BR>><<BR>>


== Check in between ==
After those settings: <<BR>>
 * Set the right mixer (if necessary)
 * Calibration ACC
 * Calibration Gyros
 * Calibration Compass (if GPS-System has been assembled)

... all buttons should be __green__ in the !KopterTool: <<BR>><<BR>>
