Derek's Delta Wing With Naze32

[Derek]

no, the stick inputs are not being seen in the receiver tab in Cleanflight. I've tried the Default mapping, Futaba mapping, and the Spektrum mapping.

So, I believe that this is simply "operator error" as to why its not working. I'll mess with it more this week.

[Stambo]

You have a battery connected to the ESC right, I have overlooked this in the past.
Your rx is powered up and bound?

I have a Naze32 waiting to go on a future project so I flashed it and hooked it up like you have and it just worked, no issues.
I set the aircraft type to flying wing, powered it from a bec, hooked up a couple servos to output 3 and 4 and when I move the board the servos move.
It has to be something simple.
If you like we can get on skype some time and see if we can't sort it out.

I wonder how well this will fit in my AXN.

[Derek]

Yep...battery connected to the esc.

Yep...the rx is powered up and bound. I can flip the GEAR switch and I can see the bar move in Cleanflight. it's the only one that does move.

Now, something I did think of...I bound this rx to my pre-existing Delta Wing profile on my DX8. That profile Wing Type was set to "Elevon". So, I changed the Wing Type to "Normal" because I imagine that the Naze32 will be responsible for the elevon mixing now....not the DX8. After making that change, I powered everything up again and still....nothing moves except the bar for the Gear switch.

I am not working all day today. I will leave my Skype on today. Stambo, if you have a bit of time, I'd be grateful for your help. I really don't have anything going on today except my Dad is coming over to get some help with his rc hovercraft project. Other than that, it's just me and my daughter playing around the house all day.

I would go back a step and make sure the rx is actually sending a signal to the Naze.
Your tx should be set to a normal 4 channel airplane profile as that is what the naze expects to see.
Hook your ESC and some servos to the rx like you are setting up a normal airplane and see what happens.
Make sure everything works with it's correct stick movement.

I am at work at the moment so Skype will have to wait until later on.

[Derek]

There is no rush on a Skype meeting, Stambo! No problem at all!

You were saying to go back a step. I fully agree. In fact....I'm just gonna go back to the beginning and start a new profile in my tx and go from there.

I'm working the next two nights but I should be off work Friday-Sunday. If you can meet up with me on one of those days, I'd be appreciative. Take care buddy! I'll report back any results after I start the new profile in my tx.

[Derek]

Well....I didn't get very far at all. I started a new model profile on my tx. Re-bound the tx to the rx. I connected the servos to the rx, and not the Naze, and the servos work just fine. Reconnected everything to the Naze board and nothing. The servos don't move. In Cleanflight, the bars don't move in the Receiver Tab. Very odd.

[Stambo]

Very odd indeed, but at least now we know that the problem is with the Naze or Cleanflight.

[Derek]

I'm working tonight and tomorrow night. I'll get my other Naze board and put it on the wing, this weekend and see if I get better results.

[Stambo]

Are you using the header that came with the Naze32 to go to the rx?
It's hard to tell from the pic.

[Derek]

Yep

[Graham Lawrie]

How about a wee video Derek so we can see what's happening

[Derek]

I think you may be right, Graham. I'll see about getting a bit of video posted this weekend when I'm not working. I'll see about getting some screen shots of the Cleanflight tabs, as well.....unless you think I should have that in the video, too.

[Stambo]

It's a bit of a mystery as to why it does not work.
It has to be something simple.
I stuck mine on my wing last night with some blutack and once I calibrated the accelerometers and reversed one servo it worked perfectly.
Still have not flown it but everything responds well from the TX and corrections are applied when moving the wing so I might try it.

[Graham Lawrie]

That should be fine Derek, pics and video the more the better. I am home this weekend so should be able to help:)

[Derek]

Thanks Graham!

I hope this helps. If not, I'll get a bit of actual video when my video camera gets charged up. I think it goes without saying that I am not a pro when it comes to the Naze board, lol, but I set this up just like it was set up on my quad. Perhaps I was wrong in my thinking and that's what brings us to today, lol. I sure hope you guys can help sort this out.

[Graham Lawrie]

Can you show a picture of it connected to the Naze Derek please?

[Graham Lawrie]

Take a look at this Derek:)

[Derek]

Based on the diagram, it looks like I have the connections to the Naze board correct.

[Stambo]

You appear to have throttle and aileron swapped Derek.
Normally the 3 pin header goes to the throttle on the rx.

I have my skype on at the moment if you want to chat.

Are you using this cable?
