Flyduino KISS Flight Controller V2 Manual

v1.0

image: Upper / Top Side

A new simplified Flight controller, the KISS FC V2 includes a complete own Flight Control Firmware

development.

The Idea was to get the simple KISS FC to the next level and due to intensive long term tests of some pretty

good Pilots we were able to optimize the code to a point where you hopefully get your quad in the air quite

quick.

Normally you just need to choose your Airframe in the GUI and you are able to fly (at least with KISS ESC),

otherwise you can download presets of well known pilots for given configurations and of course you can

tweak the PID yourself through the GUI.

Page 3 Image: Lower / Bottom Side The software setup side is reduced as far as we could, many things are already taken into account for you, if you have some solid soldering skills you should be able to build your quad pretty quick. A known feature is also the telemetry, in combination with our 32bit ESC line it‘s possible to show the live telemetry data via OSD on your FPV live feed or in the KISS FC GUI.
Page 4: Supported Copter Frames
Supported Copter Frames  Tri, Y4 and Y6  Quad +/x  Hexa +/x Supported Receivers Receiver Digital Telemetry Protocols Yes (Spektrum Spektrum DSM2 + DSMX Sat) Futaba SBUS FrSky Yes (X-Series RX) SBUS + S-Port Jeti Jeti DX + EX Bus Graupner HOTT Hitec /...
Page 5 There are 8 Receiver inputs and channels: 4 for the sticks and 4 AUX channels 1-4 Other Specs & Features MCU: STM32F722RET6 @216Mhz IMU: MPU6000 Weight: 5g Mounting Holes: 3x3cm pattern with 3.3mm holes (compatible with most frame types) Voltage: 2-6S (direct) The needed USB driver usually will be installed when you connect the FC for the first time.
Page 6: Connections
Connections There are 6 ESC outputs for 2-6 Motors. The first 4 ESC Outputs are in place for use on the most common QuadX Copter type Here’s a recommended wiring diagram: Please note that all Parts that are used together with the KISS FC V2 should be connected referring to their specifications that can be found in their manuals.
Page 7: Wiring Diagram
Wiring Diagram All available pins and connections: The 6pin sockets (SER1, SER3 and PDB) are used with the KISS Distribution board cable. (6pin 1mm) e.g..:...
Page 8: Gui (Graphical User Interface)
GUI (Graphical User Interface) The GUI (versions for Win, Mac, iOS and Android available) consists of 7 pages: The „Welcome“ page with all connections, the „Configuration“ page for the settings, “Advanced” for advanced settings, the „Data Output“ for Sensorgraphs, Rates, TPA and the two Flasher tabs.
Page 11: Installation & Setup
Note: If you press the Reset (RST) Button after you connected the FC to your PC, the GUI will automatically switch to the “Flasher” tab once you connect it. Installation & Setup Just plug in the FC via Micro USB connection to your PC. Drivers should be installed automatically on WIN7- After the installation is complete, unplug the FC from the USB, plug it in again and hold the FC firm and level for at least 5 seconds! The green LED will be lit constantly while the blue LED will blink, indicating the Gyro calibration.
Page 12: Pid Presets
PID Presets Adjust your settings with care! Only use small steps to increase or decrease the numbers and only one at a time. To make a start easier the GUI offers pre-defined PIDs for several setups tested by skilled pilots. More presets will be available once user share theirs.
Page 13: Pid And Rate Tuning
PID and Rate Tuning Rate decreases the gyro influence depending on the stick max outputs. E.g. with roll stick at center you will always have 100% gyro influence with rate on 0.00 it will still be 100% with full roll left. But with 0.50 rate it will be 50% gyro influence at full roll left or right.
Page 14: Filters And Oscillations
Filters and oscillations The GUI offers presets for low pass filters to get rid of possible oscillations. The lower you choose the frequency, the more filtering will occur. You can either turn filtering off completely or select one of the other presets to match your setup.
Page 15: Aux Channel Settings
AUX Channel Settings The AUX Channels offer access to advanced features, controlled by switches or knobs/dials on the transmitter, e.g. engaging the Level Mode or activating the buzzer like shown above.
Page 16: Firmware Updates
Firmware updates The KISS FC V2 can be updated using the GUI on PC and MAC (stand-alone versions available) Note: in case the flashing process failed, or there is a damaged FW on the FC, you can always switch to the FC's Bootloader with pressing the “RST”...
Page 17: Telemetry / Osd
Telemetry / OSD The KISS FC V2 offers various possibilities to use telemetry and OSD functions - internal Telemetry of the FC via GUI Telemetry of the KISS FC and ESC24A can be viewed on the „Data Output“ page. - external Modules for Telemetry and OSD, e.g. KISS ESC 24A/32A Telemetry via OSD External Modules Connecting the MinimOSD –...
