LiteWing Calibration

Introduction

Calibration is essential for correcting sensor offsets caused by the installation or soldering of the MPU6050 motion sensor. If the sensor is not perfectly level during soldering or has slight factory variations, it may introduce roll and pitch drift during flight. If the LiteWing drone drifts in any direction during hover, follow this calibration guide to adjust the roll and pitch trim settings in the mobile app.

Understanding Roll and Pitch Trim

If the drone is not holding position correctly when hovering, trim adjustments can help compensate for minor imbalances.

Calibration Procedure

1. Initial Setup

Step	Action
1	Place the LiteWing drone on a flat and level surface
2	Power on the drone and connect it to the mobile app
3	Ensure the system and Link LEDs blink, indicating the drone is ready

 

2. Accessing Trim Settings
 

3. Trim Adjustment Guide

Before adjusting trim values, fly the LiteWing Drone and observe its drift direction. Adjust the trim values in slight increments until the LiteWing Drone is stable.
 

Roll Trim Adjustments

Drifts Left: If the drone drifts left, increase the roll trim value to a positive value (eg, 0.2).

Drifts Right: If the drone drifts right, decrease the roll trim to a negative value(eg, 0.14).

Pitch Trim Adjustments

Drifts Forward: If the drone drifts forward, increase the backward pitch trim to a negative value(eg, 0.10).

Drifts Backwards: If the drone drifts backwards, increase the pitch trim value to a positive value (eg, 0.2).

4. Testing and Fine-Tuning
 

Calibration Best Practices

Once stable,  your LiteWing drone is ready for a stable flight!
