Thanks for the pics, there are pretty clear. I have one question. I will be using the same setup except for the acc. I will be using a MW+ and a NK (both clones). Also, I am thinking about using an external BEC for the noise issues I read somewhere, but do you think this is really necessary? Also, If I use an external BEC, I read somewhere that since I am powering everything through it, I need to disconnect the power (VCC) cable of the FTDI sparkfun breakout board to be able to get the readings…is this true??
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for clearing that up.  I had been reading about people blowing the outputs on the bmp085 by not getting the solder joints correct.
 
Cheers again and merry xmas.

Are you referring to the DC bus split on the bottom of the board? I've just added a photo confirming I left it closed (connected) so the two sections aren't split and I don't need to use a seperate uBEC to power the ESC / servo side of the bus.

Matt

Many thanks for the guide – exactly what I needed.  Did you enable any of the jumpers on the paris board?

I added two more pictures to confirm the SDI pin (#7) of the BMA180 is connected to the SDA pad on the board. In that last photo, it’s the white wire that shows that connection. Hope that helps.

Is that right? Looking on the MultiWiiCopter site, in one of their photos of the 4.0 board, it looks like they have a green wire connected to that pin.
Thanks
Steve

Thank you,Jan
