Hi, i have some problems because im very new to the topic, i dont have another option, like another controller, so i need help with the programming of the KKmulticopter V5.5 Board V2.2 Program + USB Programmer Firmware Loader, the same of the link and programmer. I used the first option of download to install the usb programmer, this downloadable driver. And all installed without problems.
Then i installed the KKMulticopter Flashtool in windows XP, and here is where the questions begin. First, when i plug the usb programmer into the V5.5 Board, it shows a blue led and then turns off. Is this normal? 1 - what programmer should i use with the KKMulticopter Flashtool programmer options?
2 - what controller should i use for the KKMulticopter V5.5 Board? I dont have the exact option in the KKMulticopter Flashtool, so what do you use in the options? 3 - I used the Multicopter Firmware(Black) for the tricopter im building, with this downloadable hex file, but the real problem that i see is that the downloadable file is for flyCamTricopterV2.9.
I tried with all the options i thought logic but always with errors. All description of the process is red letters, and mentions some fuses etc.
Flash Tool For Android
Please help, this is the last step to get my tricopter to fly. Thank you all, and happy new year. Hi, to answer your questions: 1. Use whatever programmer for which you downloaded drivers. You mentioned the fischl USBasp, so just click that one.
You must look at the chip on your board through a magnifying glass. It will most likely say 168P or 168PA, seeing as you have a KK5.5. Click the 'KK Blackboard 168P/168PA (16KB flash)' option. Once you select the proper FC, you will have a choice of firmware in the repository. My KK5.5 that I no longer use came stock with v2.9. I tried flashing v4.7, but I encountered too many problems, so I reflashed my board to v2.9, which I felt was more stable.
As a side note, I would recommend that you save up a little money and buy a KK2.1 board if you want a good, easy to program FC with auto-level. That's the board I now use, and let me just say that I never want to even think about having to tune the KK5.5 after flying the KK2.1. The KK5.5 was a true headache to get dialed in, with all of the pot turning craziness, and I always had to use ridiculous amounts of trim on my Tx just to get my quad off the ground. Even when I thought I had it set up properly, the board was sketchy at best.
Definitely not a good board to learn on. With the KK2.1, all I did was flash to the latest firmware, and my quad flew instantly and hovered almost perfectly without any trim on my Tx, and only the slightest SL trims (but that's just because I'm a perfectionist). I agree on the 5.5 board. The simpsons game cso. I am having so much trouble with it and I bought two of them.
My next board will be the kk2.1. Flashing the old 5.5 is almost impossible and only a few people have been able to do it. And its not stable at all.no level feature.your on the sticks all the time and the pots are rediculous. Any more than 50% and it will wobble all the time.
You've just made a realization that seems to often elude people for quite a while. If you're spending more time trying to get your quad off the ground than actually flying it, it's time to move on to a better solution. At around $35 shipped, the KK 2.1 is a great investment. To be honest I'm seeing a few blogs that indicate a few bugs in the flashing of the latest updates for the 2.1. Is it ok to just leave it as is out of the box.
I really dont want to go thru any more bugs when I order a new controller. The advertisement on hobbykings page claims it should fly right out of the box.
All I want is a stable quad.nothing fancy Then you definitely don't want to fly with the stock firmware, because it's infested with bugs. You definitely want to flash to at least v1.11S2. I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it if I didn't believe in it 100%. That's also what I wanted, a stable quad, and with the KK2.1, it's not an exaggeration when I say that my quad is absolutely LOCKED IN.
I can set my Tx down on the ground and watch my quad hover in one place. You'll love the Self-Level function, too. And just to be clear, the bugs are in the stock v1.5 and v1.6 of the KK 2.1 HobbyKing (hexTronik) firmware, not in the updates.
That's the reason people like Steveis, RC911, and HappySundays put out firmware updates-to correct HobbyKing's screwups. A lot of the bad stuff you read, I would venture to say most of it, is user error. For instance, people being ignorant of the gyro settings while messing with a bunch of other values, and then overflying the gyro rate. Most of the time, it's not the KK's fault.
If you program a stupid value into a microcontroller and it performs exactly as you instructed it to but results in a failure (i.e., a crash), you can't really blame the microcontroller. So that's a lot of the 'negative' stuff you're seeing about the KK 2.1. I don't give it any consideration, because the proof is in my quad's stability. I guess I will do the updates when I get mine. I did see that the videos show the flashing to be pretty reliable, like the one the guys from testflight did. I have seen a lot of their vids and they seem to know a lot about this hobby.
I been flying airplanes since the 70's but this is different. Couple helo's does not make you a quad pilot for sure. I can keep it close by pretty good, but it will be a while before I can pop up and zing around like they do in the vids. Thanks for your input. I feel more confident now. I had a couple of good flights today even in the breeze here in daytona that were a lot better than any before.
I attribute that to balancing the props a little better. Thats all I did and it made a difference. Still kinda touchy on the sticks but not as bad as it was.
Did a couple of low altitude figure eights in the yard and my neighbor mentioned it was quieter than before. That has to be the props. I'm still going to order the 2.1 board but I am enjoying flying the quad more every day. One question.you think a 2 cell 5000 is two heavy if I need almost half throttle to lift off and only get 10-12 minutes flight time.? The 3 cell 1700 only gets about 7 minutes and lifts off at 1/3 throttle.
I run mystery a2212's with 10x3.8 props. I had a couple of good flights today even in the breeze here in daytona that were a lot better than any before.

The 3 cell 1700 only gets about 7 minutes and lifts off at 1/3 throttle. I run mystery a2212's with 10x3.8 props Yeah, I would probably go with at least a 3S battery. I actually haven't heard of too many people flying a 2S battery on anything over a 330-sized frame; even a lot of the F330 guys fly 4S. 3S is good for all-around flying, 4S will turn your quad into a rocket.
I think that if you went 3S 5000mAh, you would get about 12-15 minutes of flight time, maybe more depending on your frame and overall weight of your quad. There's a max point when battery weight overtakes battery capacity in terms of flight time, but it gets a little complicated, so I won't attempt to get into that. A battery's C-rating also comes into play in flight time due to varying rates of discharge.
In very basic terms, the mAhs are like the volume of a tank of water, and the C-rating is like the diameter of the hose attached to the tank. Higher mAh means you have more water to spray, and higher C-rating means you can spray a greater amount of water at any given time if you need to. The S part of a battery rating denotes the amount of cells it contains within the battery pack, and is analogous to the water pressure of the hose. I personally fly a couple of 3S 2200mAh with 20-30C because they were (and still are) pretty cheap, I don't fly very aggressively nor do I fly ACRO (yet), and they offer a good balance of low weight and decent flight time.
I get about about 8 mins of flight time per pack. Coupled with 1045 props (I flew 8045s for a few months and liked them a lot, but I strapped a heavy camera on my quad, so I need some more thrust), they offer plenty of grunt when I need it. Glad to hear you're experiencing some good flights. I had a few decent flights on the 5.5 when I flashed it back to v2.9, but my KK 2.1 came a few days later, and the difference was staggering.
It instantly provided a level of control I could never dream of with the 5.5, which allowed me to focus on learning how to fly my quad instead of struggling to get it off the ground, arcading the sticks to try to get it to hover, and going into full panic mode any time it would get further than 30 ft away and start doing weird stuff. Flying isn't very fun when you have an unpredictable $300 machine constantly coming in for a rough landing. Now I can actually relax and enjoy my flights. Congrats on ordering the KK 2.1. Let us know how you like it.
