How to update?
Compatiblity
- The settings are set to default
Video
(Load / save positions)
(Save a camera track)
Higher accuracy on Position Hold
The accuracy of PH is much higher now and the position is faster reached if the MK drifted away by the wind.
All tested MKs achieved a much better GPS-performance.
The difference is significant in areas with weak magnetic field and big magnetic declination - like in Brazil.
Speed at 'Dynamic Position Hold' (dPH)
- The maximum speed of dPH can be set as parameter.
- Means: if you move the stick to 100%, the MK flys with the set speed.
- Per default it is set to 10m/sec
- If you want to fly with 50km/h, you can set it to 140 (14,0m/sec)
Auto-Photo-Release in altitude steps
If you want to take photos of a tower, the MK can release a photo each x meters (rising and falling).
(If the blinking pattern is set like in the picture, it will make a photo-trigger signal of 0,4 sec)

SinglePoint + Fixed/Relative Waypoints |
Inhaltsverzeichnis
SinglePoint + Fixed/Relative Waypoints
With an appropriate remote control you have the option to:
save or load SinglePoint Waypoints during flight
oran to open an already existing Fixed/Relative Waypoints-flight .
SinglePoint Waypoints
When saving "single point" waypoints, teh position of the Copters can be saved directly and reloaded.
So you can fly over and over again at the same position.
Logged are In this case:
- the current position
- the current altitude
and the direction of view of the copter
(Camera tilt will be displayed but not saved!)
Fixed/Relative Waypoints
A planned waypoints flight, can be stored on the SD card in the copter.
Such an waypoit flight you can open and fly over and over again via the transmitter.
You can load such a waypoint flight Fixed. Here you load the planed waypoint flight exactly for the position for which it was planned.
Or you load such a waypoint flight Relative. Here you can open and place the Waypoint flight at the place where the copter actually is.
See also below under Fixed/Relative Waypoints.
Suitable transmitter
You can use this functions only with an Graupner HoTT or an Jeti transmitter.
Using other remote control models is currently not possible
Anzahl der zu speichernden SinglePoints / WP-Listen
In the free version you can save up to 4 !Single Points or Fix/Relative waypoints lists in your copter.
And if you buy the commercial license it is already included to save up to 99 SinglePoints or Fix/Relative lists in your copter.
SinglePoint place + load

4. fly automatically to a SinglePoint
To start then the automatic waypoint flight to the SinglePoint, proceed as follows:
activate CareFree
activate AltitudeHold
activate ComingHome
Normally the function AltitudeHold and PositionHold are already activted. Then you only have to activate CareFree
and switch from PositionHold to ComingHome to start the waypoint flight.If you switch back to PositionHold during the waypoint flight, the copter then interrupts the waypoint flight.
Turn back to ComingHome to continue the waypoint flight.To stop and clear the waypoint flight you have to switch to OFF (from PositionHold or ComingHome).
If you now switch to ComingHome the copter will fly back to the place where you start and lift of the copter.
Operation via Jeti
It is operated via the buttons left/right/up/down on your Jeti-Box. |
|
1. open the Text-Telemetry
The menu to save and load a SinglePoints can be found in the Text-Telemetry.

4. fly automatically Fixed Waypoints

activate CareFree
activate AltitudeHold
activate ComingHome
Normally the function AltitudeHold and PositionHold are already activted. Then you only have to activate CareFree
and switch from PositionHold to ComingHome to start the waypoint flight.If you switch back to PositionHold during the waypoint flight, the copter then interrupts the waypoint flight.
Turn back to ComingHome to continue the waypoint flight.To stop and clear the waypoint flight you have to switch to OFF (from PositionHold or ComingHome).
If you now switch to ComingHome the copter will fly back to the place where you start and lift of the copter.
Airspeed between the points
If you load a SinglePoint waypoint and fly automatically to it, the airspeed is 5m/s (standard in the settings). But you can change the speed in the KopterTool via Navi-Ctrl2.
There you will find then the entry Single WP speed.
If you will not have a fixed speed you can also use e.g. a potentiometer on your transmitter to change it manually.To do this you need a free channel on your transmitter. This channel you set to the potentiometer on your transmitter and you set this channel also under Single WP speed (as Poti).
Altitudes between the single points:
You can fly with your copter to different places in different altitudes to save a SinglePoint. If you fly then between the points, the copter will fly in a direct line between them.
Here the MK flew to two points and thy were stored via the transmitter.
Then the points were called and the MK flew automatically between these points (eight times):
<<BR>
Video
(Load / save positions)
(Save a camera track)
Altitude line between Waypoints
If you select 'AUTO' or 255 as altitude speed, the MK calculates the altitude line to this Waypoint automatically.
Video
(The waiting time between the points was set to zereo - that makes the MK so fast)
Programable servo movements
It is possible to map the blinking pattern (for camera trigger) to servo outputs. Now the High/Low setpoints can be adjusted.
That makes it easier to release the camera with LANC or IR-Control.
License-Handling
In the past, the license-file had to be stored on the SD-card. In case of replacing the card it could be forgotten to store the file on the card again. Now the file will be copied into the EEPROM of the NC if a LICENSE.INI was found.
And it is possible to import a license file via the KopterTool.
A license key can be generated by the KopterTool. You can order a license from us with this key.
Logfile
- Time reolution in 0,1sec
- Nick/Roll angle resolution in 0,1°
New Entry: MotorNotReadyCnt -> A counter for each single Motor. They count up in case of a Problem (Motor stopped etc)
GPX Infos
- New entries: some important Setting infos added
Flight ranges
Creates a virtual cage.
There were three parameters for maximum Ranges on the SD-card in the NC:
- Maximum Altitude
- Maximum Range in GPS-Mode
Descend range -> needed for Law in France
At different sites different parameters could be needed. Now the parameters are moved to the FC-Settings. The user can now use different settings for different cases.
The old Parameters are not used any more:
The are replaced by these parameters:
![/!\](/moin_static199/mk-style3/img/alert.png "/!\"){kind=small}
Note:
- If you fly over these limits, you will get an error-message.
- When flying with altitude control and in dPH-GPS-mode, you can't fly beyond the ranges.
Reminder: how to start & stop the motors
Pitch/roll stick must be pushed into the bottom corner to start or stop the motors
This is not new -> it was already implemented in Version 2.00
Number one cause of crashes is still accidentally switching off the Motors in flight - which is now effectively avoided
(The pitch / roll stick can be pushed into a corner either left or right)
