  NAZA v2

• Wait for the lights to get to normal blinking

• Compass already calibrated

• Switch between Atti and GPS mode 5 times quickly and calibrate the compass on horizontal and vertical planes.

• Calibrate the Gyro

• Place the Copter on a perfectly LEVEL LZ - it must be completely static - Set Trims to neutral - Stand back - With THRO off, Hold the YAW LEFT and the Cy- clic stick Back for 1 Sec ; release - you will see the GREEN LED blinking fast for a few secs then go out - The Gyro is now calibrated for drift (at this ambient temperature) -The Gyro on a PARIS/warthox board is the WiiMP+ You can Do this everytime you fly - preferably about 2mins after Powering up - in the outside air temps where you will fly.

• Has there been a recent software change?

  YES

  NO

• Calibrate Accelerometer

• Fly the Copter in ACRO mode -Trim the copter using theTransmitter stick sub-Trims so it hovers still on STILL air (no wind) - Land - Disarm the copter (see above) ; ensure the Copter is on a perfectly LEVEL LZ - it must be completely static - Confirm the DISARMED LED is OFF - Hold Full THRO/YAW LEFT and the Cyclic stick Back for 1 Sec ; release - you will see the GREEN LED blinking fast for a few secs then go out - The Acc is now calibrated for LEVEL mode (at this ambient temperature) - The ACC on a PARIS/ warthox board is the Nunchuk®.

• Accelerometer Trimming

• Accelerometer (Acc) Trimming - Also called auto-LEVEL trim- ming - FIRST do after the GYRO & ACC calibrations and normal ACRO trimming (see above) using the Tx trims. LAND. Switch over to LEVEL mode (Gear Switch). Take off and mentally note the way the copter wants to drift - DO NOT TRIM THE TX - Land - The final ACC trimming procedure (below) is this -DISARM (see above - the Green LED will go OFF) Move the THRO to the ‘Learn Position - full up) - in this example the copter was moving back and right - so ; using stick-banging - move the cyclic (right stick) up once (led blinks) - then left once (led blinks) - these alterations are saved to the CPU memory. ARM again - hover and repeat the process until the copter hovers ‘level’.

• Calibrate the Accelerometer (should be done only once)

• 1. The Kopter should stand straight.
  2. Throttle up + Yaw right, Nick middle, Roll middle
  3. The Kopter acknowledges the ACC calibration with beep-tones.

  

• Calibrate Gyro

• Before every initial startup or after changing the Lipo a new calibration of the Gyro's must be done.
  1. The Kopter should stand on the ground and not move or shake.
  2. Throttle up + Yaw left, Nick middle, Roll middle
  3. The Kopter acknowledges the ACC calibration with beep-tones.
