MFD Autopilot

iPeel · February 29, 2016, 07:08:33 PM

The MFD boards are notoriously problematic to get drivers loaded on a decent operating system, I'm not sure if you'd have any luck at all on Vista!

The MFD should be running the latest release though, as those units will not have been in stock very long. TBH I've had my MFD units for two years now and have not updated them ever, they work perfectly and I don't feel the need to.

Unless anyone can point you to a guide on making the drivers work on Windows 7 (I think there's a guide on here somewhere) then its about time I pulled my finger out and did one.

Never had an issue with win 7 and the mfd. as long as you are using the correct dongle with the correct update prog from mfd. Which version of möbius is yours? The v2/3 can take 12 volts but v1 is 5v. As i says the latest mfd should be 1.7 so if it's a black case one it will be current anyway.

and how about windows 10, as you like it so much Neil :laugh:

It's been a couple of hours since I last used my Windows 10 PC so there's 67 updates and 11 restarts to do until I can use it again probably.

Only 67 ? ? ? They are getting better already :)

You connected a 5v Mobius to the 12v MFD AP Camera input ?

Pretty sure I have the later version but it has been messing around recently. I have put an hs1117 on order and will take careful notice of the voltage input!!
I will connect up the full works and post a picture before powering up!!!!

Connect up as per advice from Coyote regarding ground loop.
Everything went live, on screen display went live; no picture!
Resorted to the usual method of swearing at the kit then realised I had left the lens cap on!
Going for a lay down......

I like the MFD....So, wheres the best UK supplier...and how much is one these days..?

I like the Vector also, but the text looks a bit iffy, and I like the smooth direction pointer on the MFD....Decisions...:(

Plus Rob actually flies on MFD AP's so you get support with practical experience.

Hi,

New to all this, if some of you experienced pilots out there could help me out. i have recently bought a mfd ap and tbs crossfire and would like some info from you guys, (i'm trying to setup a flying wing)

1/ I have a Taranis x9d+ on V2.1.xx and enabled the tbs digital CRSF
2/ connected single servo cable from AP channel 6 to tbs channel 1 for ppm
3/ connected two servos to Ail & Elev on the AP
4/ setup the 2 switches and can change between flight modes
5/ i have set a model through the wizard (wing) on the Taranis and i can put the throttle and two servos on any channel
6/ also setup another model without the wizard but then have to change on the mixer page and put the throttle on channel 1 and servos on channel 2 & 3
7/ i can get into the OSD menu with switch 5 back Elev top middle switch 5 front, trying to change the setting i can't do without affecting something else, i'll change something and try move down but then i've gone back to the main menu.

I hope this make sense...if you can tell me what i'm doing wrong or put some screen shots up your install and Taranis screens

Your Taranis model needs to have the wing template turned off. No mixing on the radio at all.

Then select wing from the menu in the AP so the MFD AP does the mixing.

If you had the radio mixing aileron and elevator you can not navigate the menu because it's mixing the outputs so the A/P does not get clear or accurate inputs.

Put Aile on channel 1
Put Elev on channel 2
Put Thr on channel 3 in the Taranis if you are using channel 6 ( futaba channel order )
