> ############################################################################## = NaviCtrl V2.1 = The !NaviCtrl is an additional module for the FlightCtrl. On the !MikroKopter you use the !NaviCtrl together with the [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=849|MKGPS]] as a navigation unit. With the navigation unit you can use functions like [[en/PositionHold|PositionHold]], [[en/ComingHome|ComingHome]], [[en/CareFree|CareFree]], [[en/FollowMe|FollowMe]] or a [[en/MikroKopterTool-OSD|Waypoint fly]].<
> (All functions of the !MikroKopter are described here: [[en/MK-Features|Functions]]) The !NaviCtrl V2.1 includes an integrated compass module and a connector for an [[https://www.mikrocontroller.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69&products_id=835|external compass module]]. On the NaviCtrl board is also a Micro-SD card socket. Here you can insert an micro SD card (max. 2GB / FAT16).<
> During flight the LOG files of the Kopter will be saved on this micro SD card. After the flight you can take a look on the recorded data in the LOG file (if required) wit our program '''GPX-Viewer'''.<
> Informations for the GPX Viewer can be found here: [[en/GPXViewer|GPX-Viewer]] ############################################################################## <

> = Settings in the KopterTool = When the navigation unit is mounted on your copter you need 2 free channels on your transmitter that you can use the functions. <
> The first channel can be used with a 3way switch and the second with a 2way switch on your transmitter. With the 3-way switch you use the GPS functions: * Switch position OFF = GPS off * Switch position center = PositionHold * Switch position center ON = ComingHome With the 2-way switch you use the GPS functions: * Switch position OFF = CareFree off * Switch position ON = CareFree on Both channes mus also be set under [[en/MK-Parameter/Easy-SETUP|"Easy Setup"]] -> ''GPS Mode Control'' and ''Carefree control''. ############################################################################## <

> = Sat-Fix = For all GPS functions like !PositionHold, !ComingHome or a waypoint flight you need the GPS modul.<
> In addition, there must be a Satfix. To test if the copter (the GPS) already have a Satfix, you can use the 3 way switch for the GPS functions on the transmitter. The copter is outside, the transmitter ON and the copter is connected with the battery.<
> The motors are OFF! The switch positions of the 3 way GPS switch: * Switch position OFF * The copter is quiet and does not beep * The 3 way switch is centered (''!PositionHold'') or ON (''!ComingHome''): * Option 1 -> The computer beeps now once every second => '''no''' Satfix * Option 2 -> The copter is quiet and does not beep => there is a Satfix and you can use all GPS functions ############################################################################## <

> = Dynamic PositionHold = If the position function !PositionHold is activated, the copter automatically hold the position.<
> When you will change the position of the copter in the air, move the Nick/Roll Stick on your transmitter. The function of the mode !PositionHold is different if Dynamic !PositionHold is enabled or disabled: <
><
> * Function ''Dynamic !PositionHold'' disabled: <
> * The copter is directly controlled by moving the nick / roll stick. Here the function !PositionHold will be automatically switched off if you move the sticks. At the new position and after you release the sticks, the function PH will be automatically switched on again. * Function ''Dynamic !PositionHold'' activated:<
> * Also here you can fly the Kopter through moves with the Nick- / Rollstick to a new position. But in that way PH will be __not__ disabled/enabled but the nominal values of the GPS-coordinates will be moved. An more accurate and exact positioning of the Kopter is possible even in windy conditions. The Kopter will fly a little bit slower to the position, moves more sluggish. Here you can change the settings under ''!EasySetup'': [[en/MK-Parameter/Easy-SETUP|MK-Parameter]] ############################################################################## <

> = Beeps = With correctly connected navigation unit you hear additional beeps. This beeps are: * Satfix control => beep every second (see: Sat-Fix) * Using the 3 way GPS switch from OFF to !PositionHold or !ComingHome) => one beep for each using * Enabling Carefree => a long beep ############################################################################## <

> = Softwareupdate and Functionality Tests = With the KopterTool you can change the Software on the !NaviCtrl and also check the function.<
> The current mating software (!KopertTool, !NaviCtrl and !FlightCtrl) can be downloaded here: '''[[en/Download|Download]]''' <
><
> Connect the [[en/MK-USB|MK-USB]] with the '''Debug''' port on the !NaviCtrl, or use a wireless connection (like e.g. the RangeExtender) to connect the copter with the computer. <
><
> Open the terminal window in the !KopterTool and connect then the copter with the battery (Dont forget to switch on the transmitter ;-)). <
> In the terminal window you should now see the initialization of the !NaviCtrl. Here you see e.g. if a micro SD card is in use, the hard- and software version. if you use the internal or an external compass and if you use a license or not: <
><
> {{ http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/resizes/intern/KopterTool_ab_V2_0/TerminalWindow/Init-Navi.jpg?m=1447754112 }} <
><
> To update the software "click" on the button ''Update Software (serial)...'' and chose the software for the !NaviCtrlund. A click on '"Open" starts the update. The update itself is displayed in green. When you see the white initialization the update is done. <

> = Micro SD-card = You can use a '''micro SD-Karte''' (up to 2GB / FAT16) in your !NaviCtrl.<
> All telemetry data of the copter will be automatically saved on the micro SD card in a GPX and KML file. After the flight you can take a look on the recorded data in the LOG file (if required) wit our program '''GPX-Viewer'''.<
> Informations for the GPX Viewer can be found here: [[en/GPXViewer|GPX-Viewer]] Plug in the SD card as you can see under ''Mounting / Connections''.<
><
> If the card is inserted, the needed file ''SETTINGS.INI'' will be created automatically after you connect the battery with the copter.<
> Also a folder ''LOG'' will be created automatically when you do your first flight. '''INFO''' <
> If you update the Software, it can be that there are new functions. <
> To use all the new functions you should clear the ''SETTINGS.INI''. It will be created automatically new with the right new values that are needed. == SETTINGS.INI == The file ''SETTINGS.INI'' includes some settings you normally have not to change.<
> If you must change a value you can do it with an normal windows editor. <
><
> [[ http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/albums/intern/MK-Baugruppen/NaviCtrl/NaviCtrl-V2.1/Settings_ini.jpg?m=1446809682 | {{ http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/thumbs/intern/MK-Baugruppen/NaviCtrl/NaviCtrl-V2.1/Settings_ini.jpg?m=1446809682 }} ]] <
><
> The values in the '' SETTINGS.INI '' are largely self-explanatory. <
> If you e.g. want to achieve greater speed in manual flight under !PositionHold or during a waypoints flight, you can increase the value of ''DYNAMIC_PH_SPEED''. Or you will use use GPS and BEIDOU (instead of GOS and GLONAS) as receiving satellites you can change it under ''GPS_SYSTEM_CFG'' anpassen. == Presentation of the flight data in Google Earth == In the current version of Google Earth (> 6.1) you can show the route by loading the .KML or .GPX files.<
> (The flight-route with a .GPX file will be also displayed in the height if you set up in the properties of the file the Height to Relativ to ground.) ############################################################################## <

> = NMEA = Since the software version 2.00a for !NaviCtrl, the UBlox Modul can also send a '''NMEA''' Format.<
> (e.g. for Cameras with Datalogging). The output is at '''57600 baud'''. The records are sent with '''RMC & GGA'''. <
> You can get the data on '''PIN9''' (+ PIN7 GND) of the ''Debug'' connection of the !NaviCtrl. IMPORTANT: Only with an microSD card in the !NaviCtrl you can use the NMEA Data. <
> The file ''SETTINGS.INI'' on the microSD card includes then the necessary command "NMEA_INTERVAL"s for this purpose. This entry is set to "0" by default, so there is no output of the NMEA signal.<
> Here a transmission interval must be entered (e.g. 500 = 500ms = 0,5s). You can change the Settings.ini with an Editor. {{ http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/resizes/intern/MK-Baugruppen/NaviCtrl/NaviCtrl-V2.1/NaviCtrl-Debug.jpg?m=1446823046 }} <

> = Error Codes = If you use the GPS-System (NaviCtrl + Compass + MKPGS) on your Kopter and you calibrate the Gyros, you can see for a short time "error 6" + "error 3" in your Telemetry-Display.<
> This is normal. Because the connection between !FlightCtrl and !NaviCtrl is briefly interrupted when you calibrate the Gyros.<
><
> an error has occurred if an error message will be displayed permanently.<
