- Question: How to calibrate Accelerometer?
Ans
- DisARM the copter. (The MultiWii GUI will show if it is armed). There would be some mechanism to DisARM it; It may be a Joystick combination OR Special button on remote to ARM/ DisARM the copter, this function acts as described in the MultiWii Arduino code.

- Question: How to orient MPU6050
Ans: Example: What you think is X-axis in MultiWii GUI, is actually Y-axis on the GY-521 / MPU 6050. Here are some hints:
- From MPU6050 datasheet, refer this image. This image shows the manufacturer’s specifications of X, Y, Z axis w.r.t. MPU6050 silicon chip:
- Also check the physical orientation of MPU on the Quadcopter:
- Establish some relation between Quadcopter's (Roll, Pitch, Yaw) with X, Y, Z axis.
Example: Something like:
- HINT: In the MultiWii code, find the lines like:
and modify at the correct instance. These lines may be at multiple places in code, you need to figure out which onces will be complied for your quadcopter model.
- After above modifications, connect Quadcopter with MultiWii GUI and see real-time data again. You might need to repeat the process, while it is done correctly.
