Re: NAZA V2 location and size of the circuit board... though
To start, I would like to say "Thank You" for your replies.
I'm following, scratching my head occasionally, but I think I'm keeping up.
The Editor,
Should this: "The value that should be input into the Naza M v2 Assistant are for GPS puck offset ONLY (all all three axis)."
read like this: "The value that should be input into the Naza M v2 Assistant are for GPS puck offset ONLY (on all three axis)."?
Here's what I think I'm finding out:
CoG: Is to be considered with any physical change in configuration. As much as we would all like it to be equidistant from the motors, it's not going to happen. Some motors are going to work a bit more, some a bit less to compensate for aircraft loading. Within reason, these things will unscrew what I screw up. That's one of the things I love about the multi-rotor configuration.
CityZen's reference to the P2V+ makes me think I have some options to location provided orientation is maintained.
Can anyone answer this question from discv: "Are the CoG default settings on the P2V+ also all zeros?"
I'm not sure why CoG and location of NAZA are a critical/semi-critical consideration. I would easily be able to understand if it were a Center of Aircraft and NAZA relationship.
Am I trying to simplify weight and balance too much just because I now have 4 motors?
Is there an accelerometer or other sensor in the NAZA module or does it simply "compute data received" from the compass and GPS? If the answer is yes, there an accelerometer or other sensor. then my conclusion which follows is invalid.
The "NAZA" location is somewhat critical but it appears .5 inch lateral movement aft along the longitudinal axis should be acceptable.
After reading, rereading and rereading again, I'm really starting to think NAZA orientation is what's critical and location is not at all.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong on that one.
The "GPS puck" location is critical and should not be altered. For my project this is fine.
There are options to the circuit board but, at the moment, I'm thinking my dremel will make the needed changes.
Thanks for the pic syotr.
So, does anyone think I'm getting closer to figuring this out or did I head off towards Pluto?
Thanks again
