Multiwii EZ-GUI

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum & quads and after some research decided to go with Multiwii due to easy setup/programming (I have built several Arduino projects previously) & after reading of lots of issues with versions of Megapirate.
The Android App EZ GUI also convinced me as MP does not have anything as fully featured as far as I could find.
The only problem with Mulltiwii EZ-GUI is learning how to use it. There are no guides & info is scattered across several forums & Youtube vids.
I have Multiwii EZ-GUI up and running on my Galaxy3 & connecting successfully to Bluetooth module connected to Serial0/FTDI on Crius AIOP V2. I have documented this lockup issue that Bluetooth causes if connected up when FC is powered up in a different post.
What I can';t work out is how to set missions with latest EOS Bandi navigation firmware 2-3 Navi b7 & matching Win GUI 2.3 Pre10 for Navi b7. http://eosbandi.com/downloads/
Maybe I should not even be using these versions for MW EZ-GUI?
When I start App without connecting to FC, I get a Missions button & can set up a Mission by just clicking on map.
When I connect Bluetooth the Missions button disappears and only Map button in it';s place. Also In AUX switch setup of EZ-GUI or WinGUI I don';t get options of Mission or Land as I';ve seen in other users screen shots so would not be able to start a mission or use Land via switch.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers..B

Looks like no one on this forum is running the EOS Bandi MW V2.3 Navi b7 navigation firmware or Win GUI.

I contacted developer of android EZ-GUI which I run on my phone & now have it sorted.
For the benefit of others running Crius AIOP (V1 or2) or other flight controller with ATmega 2560, when you use the EEProm Clear utility in IDE you need to set size to 4096. This is because 2560 has 4K of EEProm.
Clear EEProm using modified utility then flash with MW V2.3 Navi b7 downloaded from http://eosbandi.com/downloads/   after configuring Config.h for your quad, GPS etc of cource. 
After doing this you will have Missions & Land options available in AUX settings & can plan/plot & run Missions using Win GUI or EZ-GUI via Bluetooth by just clicking or touching on Google map that is locked to your GPS.
Now we can show the MegaPirate boys how to do it without crazy lockups or fly away!  Check it out I guarantee you will be blown away with the features & stability.
Cheers from Downunder,
B :beer2:

I am running the same almost setup. I can relate to the no info being all over the web. My quad is soon to be set up. Anybody got links to info on explaining the flight modes? I almost found out what they mean but don';t know if I have to turn combinations on or 1 at a time. Example would be gps hold, do I have to have level,baro, etc on to work or just gps hold? Another answer I am looking to do is have a 3dr link , gps , and a minimosd on serials 1,2, and 3. I have the baud rates set , will they work or do I have to do more in sketches. There are people building bluetooth bridges but when I ran the 3dr into the serial port 0 and uploaded to the board it would crash the link. And the bluetooth bridge thing is another mystery that I can';t find out how to build with components I have. If I do get it working maybe I will post a thread how to do a cheap one. Sorry for a long post. I am leaning towards an apm with megapirate just because you guys document that really well. Gaza';s aiop manual is really informitive and is the only reason I didn';t ditch the crius yet

I';ve just tried the EOS Bandi MW V2.3 Navi b7 version on one of my machines...compared to the (weak) stock 2.3 config (missing a heft of GPS parameters, even then would not work via telemetry comms with WinGUI) it compiled effortlessly, and connected without issue.

Note that this version is specific to Eosbandi';s setup, so for the first time I found my props spinning as soon as I had armed.  You need to check through the config.h carefully (if you know what you need to set) and it comes out all good.

Haven';t had a chance to test GPS functionality yet, but 2.3 is much more stable than 2.2 (in my experience), and the Alt.Hold was a lot more even.  If it can do waypoint and RTL as good as MPNG then I may move to this permanently - MPNG just isn';t as stable in flight on the same frame.  Dunno if MWC 2.3 can do the whole camera heading fix thing though?
