Thanks for spotting the mistakes and for letting me know! I will get them corrected right away⌠Sometimes when its getting late I dont think properly⌠so not a good idea to draw diagrams But its great to receive some feedback so that all of our guides are actualy useful as I might of missed something obvious
Update: I have now corrected the main connection diagram to make it abit more clean on how you power the naze32 and fixed the pinout to correctly label UART 1 TX
Really nice diagrams to connect everything up⌠Im running s.bus to a X8R and want to get gps up and running⌠what pins to i need to use if pin 4 is already taken? thanks
You seem to be the only one to actually understand the s.bus set up⌠makes sense now thanks, if i use cppm, i could run the gps of uart2 right? if so would you recommend it or just stick to sbus and leave the led strip? thanks again
With all cleanflight controllers I think its always best if you can use cppm as input as that does not use any of the (very) limited serial ports on your board. So yes if you need to use GPS on a dedicated hardware serial port then you will cant use SBUS . But to be honest there is nothing wrong with cppm, which I explain in the RC protocols guide I wrote some time back.
Alex, These are great images! Would you mind if I used them at an upcoming makers fair where we have a table? We would likely print them out to explain how a quadcopter works. It would be greatly appreciated.
Sure not a problem if you need higher resolutions just let me know would appreciate if you could mention dronetrest as the dronetrest community always welcome new members
Thanks Alex! sorry for the delay here. Yes I would be GLAD to mention Dronetrest at our table! High resolution pictures would be excellent. Im not blowing them up too big but I may in the future if we get a good response. can you upload them here in the thread? Particularly I am interested in the image you title âTypical Naze32 Connection diagramâ.
If you are using PWM inputs from your receiver then you cant use an RGB LED strip. You will only be able to use a static LED strip on your quad as there are no spare pins. Best to use a PPM receiver
Hello, its a great tutorial and discuss for the naze32 rev 6 with cleanflight. well, i have a problem, i am flashing the firmware was successful with the latest naze 1.12.1 ,But the green LED keep blinking and wouldnât stop even i did some calibrate acc. and mag. but when i open and flashing via baseflight there was no problem on my naze to connect with my receiver fsia6B. i want to setup my naze32 with cleanflight
and i need to setup my gps ,minimOsd and sonar.
On âTypical Naze32 Connection diagramâ if I am not mistaken, the ESC to motor connections wiring are wrong. The clockwise rotating escâs should have two wires reversed while the counter clockwise rotating motors should be straight through.
Thanks
With most blheli ESC it actually doesnât matter as you can just switch the direction with software anyways. I actually cant remember the last time I paid attention to the motor to ESC wiring
Alex
Yes, I know you can use BLHeli to change it but not everyone has an ESC with BLHeli bootloader/firmware.
I had a friend that followed your diagram few days ago and got it wrong. Donât forget that a lot of new guys are the ones that actually look at tutorials like this.
Take it for what it is worth.
@mlpfw Thats a very good point, and I did not notice that the diagram was wrong until you pointed it out so I have fixed it now
When I was writing this guide it was rather late at night and I used our diagram from our ZMR250 build guide which has the correct ESC wiring on it, and for some odd reason I switched it around. So thanks again for pointing that out!
Hi there Alex.
Iâm still a bit confused here, as your âpinoutâ, âclose-upâ & 'âtypicalâ diagrams are conflicting in what that connection does. These types of diagrams are helpful to someone like me who has never picked up a Naze ever, but I fear if I wire a buzzer how your pinout diagram shows, but look at the close-up diagram, that buzzer will be permanently buzzing. Iâm also assuming that the Naze gets its power from a bec esc?
