# Board - CMJCU
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The CMJCU is a tiny (80mm) board running a STM32F103, which contains a 3-Axis Compass (HMC5883L)
|
|
|
|
and an Accelerometer/Gyro (MPU6050).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This board does not have an onboard USB-Serial converter, so an external adapter is needed.

In standard QUADX configuration, the motors are mapped:

|
It is therefore simplest to wire the motors:
|
|
|
|
* Motor 1 -> Clockwise
|
|
|
|
* Motor 2 -> Anti-Clockwise
|
|
|
|
* Motor 3 -> Clockwise
|
|
|
|
* Motor 4 -> Anti-Clockwise
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using the Hubsan x4/Ladybird motors, clockwise are Blue(GND)/Red(VCC) wires, anticlockwise
|
|
|
|
are Black(GND)/White(VCC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have wired as above, Motor1/Motor2 on the board will be forward.

# Connecting a Serial-USB Adapter
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need a USB -> Serial UART adapter. Connect:

|
|
|
| RX | TX |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
When first connected this should power up the board, and will be in bootloader mode. If this does not happen, check
|
|
|
|
the charge switch is set to POW.
|
|
|
|
After the flashing process has been completed, this will allow access via the cleanflight configurator to change
|
|
|
|
settings or flash a new firmware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If the motors are connected and the board boots into the bootloader, they will start
|
|
|
|
to spin after around 20 seconds, it is recommended not to connect the motors until the board
|
|
|
|
is flashed.

# Flashing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To flash the board:
|
|
|
|
* Open Cleanflight Configurator
|
|
|
|
* Download the CMJCU firmware binary (https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/tree/master/obj/cleanflight_CJMCU.hex)
|
|
|
|
* Select "Load Firmware [Local]" and choose the CMJCU binary
|
|
|
|
* Tick "No Reboot Sequence" and "Full Chip Erase"
|
|
|
|
* Connect the USB->Serial adapter to the board
|
|
|
|
* Select the USB-UART adapter from the top left box
|
|
|
|
* Click "Flash Firmware"
|
|
|
|
* You should see "Programming: SUCCESSFUL" in the log box
|
|
|
|
* Click "Connect" -> This should open the "Initial Setup" tab and you should see sensor data from the quad shown
|
|
|
|
* Unplug the quad and solder across the 2 "BOOT0" pins - This prevents the board from going into bootloader mode on next
|
|
|
|
boot, if anything goes wrong, simply unsolder these pins and the bootloader will start, allowing you to reflash. You cannot
|
|
|
|
overwrite the bootloader.

# Helpful Hints
|
|
|
|
|
2014-10-26 17:37:56 -07:00
|
|
|
* If you are only using a 4 channel RX, in the auxiliary configuration tab, you can add a "Horizon" mode range around 1500
|
2014-10-24 17:15:57 -07:00
|
|
|
for one of the the AUX channels which will result in it being always on
|
|
|
|
* Enabling the feature MOTOR_STOP helps with crashes so it doesn't try to keep spinning on its back
|
|
|
|
* When the power runs low, the quad will start jumping around a bit, if the flight behaviour seems strange, check your batteries charge
