Hobbyking KK2.0 Multi-rotor LCD Flight Control Board
Designed by the Grand father of the KK revolution, Rolf R Bakke, exclusively for HobbyKing, the KK2.0 is the evolution of the first generation KK flight control boards. The KK2.0 was engineered from the ground up to bring multi-rotor flight to everyone, not just the experts. The LCD screen and built in software makes install and setup easier than ever. A host of multi-rotor craft types are pre-installed. simply select your craft type, check motor layout/propeller direction, calibrate your ESCs and radio and your ready to go! all of which is done with easy to follow on screen prompts!
The original KK gyro system has been updated to an incredibly sensitive dual chip 3 Axis gyro and single chip 3 axis accelerometer system making this the most stable KK board ever and allowing for the addition of an Auto-level function. At the heart of the KK2.0 is an Atmel Mega324PA 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontroller with 32k of memory. An additional 2 motor output channels have been added to the KK2.0 allowing for a total of 8 motors to be controlled (Octocopter). A handy Piezo buzzer is also included with the board for audio warning when activating and deactivating the board.
If your new to multi-rotor flight or have been unsure about how to setup a KK board then the KK2.0 was built for you. The 6 Pin USBasp AVR Programming interface ensures future software updates will be quick and easy.
Specs. Size: 50.5mm x 50.5mm x 12mm Weight: 21 gram (Inc Piezo buzzer) IC: Atmega324 PA Gyro: InvenSense Inc. Accelerometer: Anologue Devices Inc. Auto-level: Yes Input Voltage: 4.8-6.0V AVR interface: standard 6 pin. Signal from Receiver: 1520us (5 channels) Signal to ESC: 1520us Firmware Version: 1.2
Pre-installed firmware. Dualcopter Tricopter Y6 Quadcopter + Quadcopter X Hexcopter + Hexcopter X Octocopter + Octocopter X X8 + X8 X H8 H6 V8 V6 Aero 1S Aileron Aero 2S Aileron Flying Wing Singlecopter 2M 2S Singlecopter 1M 4S (Custom Mix via the "Mixer Editor" option)
The Mixer Editor allows you to adjust where and how much signal the motors receive from stick input and sensors. This allows you to create any configuration possible with up to 8 motors or servos.
Whats is a Multi-Rotor Control board you ask?
The HobbyKing KK2.0 Multi-Rotor controller is a flight control board for multi-rotor Aircraft (Tricopters, Quadcopters, Hexcopters etc). Its purpose is to stabilize the aircraft during flight. To do this it takes the signal from the three on board gyros (roll, pitch and yaw) then passes the signal to the Atmega324PA IC. The Atmega324PA IC unit then processes these signals according the users selected firmware and passes control signals to the installed Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs). These signals instruct the ESCs to make fine adjustments to the motors rotational speed which in turn stabilizes your multi-rotor craft.
The HobbyKing KK2.0 Multi-Rotor control board also uses signals from your radio systems receiver (Rx) and passes these signals to the Atmega324PA IC via the ail, ele, thr and rud inputs. Once this information has been processed the IC will send varying signals to the ESCs which in turn adjust the rotational speed of each motor to induce controlled flight (up, down, backwards, forwards, left, right, yaw).
Note: A user manual is available under the files tab. *Royalties paid on each unit sold to Rolf R Bakke, the original KK Designer.
If my RX has CPPM on Channel 1, do I change all 4 main settings on the KK2 board under CPPM settings to channel 1 thereby only using one wire or do I still use the same 4 outputs on the KK2 board into to 1 on the RX? Thanks!
Connect your cppm signal to channel1 on the KK2 board and on the Kk2 cppm setting assgin your Tx stick to the appropriate channel. You only need one set of wire from the Rx to the KK2 board.
They don't split up orders, but you can cancel the backorder item. The rest will be sent to you, the amount of the cancelled item will be credited to your store points.
Try to reflash it... could be it didn't wrote well on the chip... you can check, when you flashed it, leave it connected to the usb, then you can check the menu by pressing the buttons
I have tried flashing it again, and reflash it back to the 1.2 and still having the same problem. Also no I cant use the stick to take it out of safe to armed mode
Please check your end points to the rudder on the radio(EPA or ATV) and either on the card in 'stick scaling menu'.
Go to the receiver test menu to check receiver value
on yaw axis about -100 to 100 depending the way you move rudder stick.
Having a problem with the KK2 board. I flashed the firmware to the 1.5 version now non of the buttons are working to be able to get into the menu. Is there a way to get these working again??

usually the beeping that you say is from the board not powering up properly. try disconnecting everything and then reconnect your rx wires and only esc on M1 connection. if that doesnt work for the heck of it try to do the esc throttle calibration by doing the button 1/4 sequence during power up just to see if it shows the calibration screen
I had a low impact crash with my Quad and had to replace a motor mount ...when I powered it back up I get only a bright white screen ...as if the programing is gone can anyone help me????
It is common for the LCD to go bad in a crash. Check the ribbon cable to see if it lifted from the PCB.
If you are running 1.2 firmware, you can try this:
Q: I accidentally adjusted the contrast such that I cannot read the screen now.
Does anyone know how to do a reset to default contrast?
A: Turn the KK2 off and on again.
push button 4
push button 3 (four times )
push button 4
push button 3
push button 4
push button 1
push button 3 (36 times)
push button 4
just quick question when you put quad back together, did you make sure you plugged your esc back into M1 on the board? if not then you will only get the white screen, or if your esc went bad and is not powering the board properly to M1. try another esc into M1 connection.
you can use any battery size and type. but depends on your esc. the board uses only 5 volts so your esc or besc needs to supply only 5 volts to power the board. if you plug your 4s directly into board it will fry it except in the battery monitoring section which requires soldering an extra connector to bottom of board.
ok, i use this item (Hobby King 30A ESC 3A UBEC) on my Tricopter: www.link can i take power to the KK2? 2. how can i power this Hobby King 30A ESC 3A UBEC, can i use 4s 3000 ma battery?
if your esc and motors are rated for a 4s battery then you just connect your esc to your battery. the esc should have a built in 5v BEC which powers the board once you connect your esc to M1 on the board.

Hi Guys, any one knows what flight controller boards have auto-level feature, apart from KK 2.0 and DJI Naza? i am looking for something under $100 CAD.
multwii pro has stabilize feature which is same thing. 65 us dollars. great board for price and has multiple flight modes including alt hold, pos hold and return to home.
i use it on my quad and i have tons of fun with it including fpv. using a 5000maH battery and 750kv motors with 11*4.7 props. get about 15-20 min flight time(hover). it has multiple flight modes including quad x and quad plus.
that is so nice. did you but the board from Hobby king? I have tried regular multiwii board and programmed it many times but i could never arm it and so never had a chance to fly with it. I have flied with Eagle N6 V2 flight controller board but it is hard to fly with it since it doesn't have auto level feature and you have to do lots of effort to keep the quad copter balanced. Do you have email? thanks
Thanks Robert for giving me a source for purchasing the multiwii pro board. i am trying to find out how to purchase it. how much did you pay for that? i added you to my msn messenger to chat sometimes.
i paid 65 for mine, with straight headers installed. came with gps ublox neo 6 board. you can get board by itself for around 30 i think if you do not want gps
do you have time to chat on hotmail? I am not sure if GPS is good for me to get at this time or not?! I tried to find the multiwii pro board on witespy but when i search multiwii in the search box it gives me no result!!
put your model on a flat surface and make a sensor calibration. and adjust your subtrims, so that all values in the receiver test show 0. slight drift after that can be trimmed out
under the board settings it is called acc calibration. You will need to do that while the copter is on a level surface. you can check receiver test and adjust subtrims in your tx to get all rx inputs at 0 in the receiver test menu.
I got a message from hobbyking - the wait on the KK2.0 seems to be 30 - 45 days (I'm also waiting on Turnigy 9XR battery pack)
"The order is under process in our warehouse and will be posted once the backorder item 917100007 and 9171000183 are arrived in stock. The latested Estimated Time of Arrival for them is about 30-45 days, please kindly check your account for updates later."
Ill be honest. In my past experience with hobbyking they always say 30-45 days. That's a standard response. I have seen items restock the next day but usually take months.
thanks for explanation, i am not an impatient person but waiting for weeks for your flying project is too much. i live in canada and there is 2 months or 3 that weather is good and you can fly outside, after that winter is back and getting the board at that time doesn't worth to me. if the manufacture is not going to produce more of this board HK must remove the advertisement for the board on their site or they should do something significant for happiness of customers.
If by "they" you re referring to HobbyKing. I would have thought it was pretty obvious that they're doing. They are waiting for the KK2 Board to arrive. The same as the rest of us. Did you think they already have them and are not selling them because they don't want to make money? Obviously the manufacturer is still making them or building a run of other boards and isn't set up to build the KK2 board yet. Manufacturers don't simply make one item, they may use the same assembly line to build dozens of boards. So let's do what most KK2 users are doing, being patient and waiting. I've already paid for mine so I'm waiting too.
I totally agree. An absolute bargain even though I lost 2 out of 4. That video was nice and smooth nicely setup to get it that smooth. Please be careful when flying so close though. The technology is still liable to glitches and sudden runaways for no reason. Nice smile though :-)
Exactly what I did. I use the dual LED board on the front of my quad. Although there is already an LED on the NAZA assistant to indicate the mode I also wired an HK Board to that input and I can see it 550 meters away. A fantastic orientation tell tale. It has one very high output White LED and one lower output green, red or blue flashing LED. Much better than a ping pong ball. PRODUCT ID: 381000016
i had found something a while back but it requires soldering tons of tiny wires to the board which is complicated. another route that i went is on rcgroups called nolcd. command based programming. www.link DOT with .
I had already seen the NOLCD, but I think I'll go for the option of adapting the flex complicated, as is explained in another post of rcgroups.
And much better protect the tiny little screen. lol
my quad will pitch forward or roll left at the start of the flight. if it were a plane i would trim it to level flight. i was told however you can do all the adjustments on this board without using the trims on the transmitter. is this true?
yes, you can go into the board settings and first check your radio inputs and make sure they all read 0. if not set sub trims on radio til they equal zero. next you can go into acc calibration on board while copter is level. once done try and fly. if it still rolls or pitches you can elevate the side it rolls/tilts to slightly with shim and do acc cal again. repeat as necessary until smooth flying.
Mine did the same exact thing. I put it on a flat surface and reran the self level calibration and it seemed to fix it real good. You might also want to adjust the Acc Trim (roll/pitch). There is a great u tube video by DHDSRacer called KK2 Autolevel Tuning. Just google it. Worked great for me. Enjoy!

Pozzix the word is out. These are a hot item. So please tell me you have put your EMAIL Address in the "STOCK ARRIVAL ALERT". Then you will get an Email when they come in!
Oh yes, I perfectly know how it works, but there is a big difference between "email me when item back in stock" and "to have this item you have to wait 5 weeks or something like that". I don't understand why, when an "hot" item became low in stock, HK don't start reorder process automatically to producer. This method permits to have low times of resupplying (and customers are more happy).

Pozzix, You probably know this but out of your last 10 discussion posts 6 of them have been about items not being available. I should tell you that HobbyKing's ordering facility does not read these posts. In fact the only HobbyKing people who read these posts do it simply to delete posts they don't personally like. So your complaints are going in vain and giving ordinary members a pain having to answer you. So do as most of us do, be patient. Perhaps you could show us your history of running successful businesses. Stock doesn't just arrive because a company snaps it's fingers. It arrives when it is built and it's HobbyKing's turn. Complaining certainly won't make it arrive any faster. I happen to waiting as well but I've paid for mine already so unless you do the same you may miss out on the next batch as well. Some items have been known to sell out within an hour so if that happens be 3 am in Italy, missing out could be a sure thing.
Pozzix I have just check Australia stock and this board is in back order here too. I do see what you mean HobbyKing seem to have trouble with stock control. I do think they only buy is big batches and that is why stock runs down before they buy more in. These board had been in, plus 10 for a long time. For some reason there seem to be a rush on then. Maybe it was because waterlogged recommended them!
I didn't complaint nothing and I know that these posts aren't read by HK but, if a product become "hot" ('cause form HK sell statistics it is bright like the sun) maybe it will better for my business (if I was HK) that these product is always available or its time to market is possibly lower. BTW I'll awaiting as all of you(me) and with a lot of patience, 'cause nothing I can do to make this prod available now.
(for example: I put my email stock alert on talon tricopter 3 months ago and it is out of stock yet. How a customer must read 120days of absence of that product?)
Sometimes, news related to product availability and/or its evolution, makes customer nearest to business but anyway...
I'll wait.
Max
Pozzix I was not having a go at you SORRY. I just know this happens to some items. Not so long ago it was the Turnigy9XV2. Everyone after it and there was no stock. HK could but a bucket load of these and then they would sit on the shelves. I hope you get one soon. No one likes waiting!
Poxxix have you ordered one yet. I found if you click on "Add to Cart" over a few times, then it will add to cart and you can buy it on back order. This way, when it comes in, you will be the first to get it! (Back order is just that, you may still be waiting a while. But if HK have the orders then it helps HK to get them in.)
They will take my money, when they will have them in stock. I never had problems with HK and I wont have in future. I'm awaiting for my list become available. In my current cart I have a lot of items and for sure..3 kk2.

And certainly none for you, mind your own business. It was a stupid question. Nobody reading this forum would have a clue when anything is coming into stock Only the purchasing office would know that and I assure you they come nowhere near this forum. Therefore any such questions as to when is a dumb question to ask. Go ask a local taxi driver, he has as much chance of knowing than anyone here. You've made a wonderful start to your time on HobbyKing. Making sarcastic comments when not involved in the conversation. By the way, I wasn't looking for points but perhaps you are. I devote many hours a week answering legitimate and reasonable questions. Something I have been doing for 3 years. Any money I make (about $2.00 per week) I leave in my account and when I find someone deserving of some help I'll buy them something. So I get upset about dumb people asking useless questions which can't be answered whilst helping genuine people with their questions at my expense. How much help do you intend to give or can we expect just sarcastic remarks?
did not know you are that touchy and have no sense of humor.Keep up the good work by telling people they have to wait till stock arrives maybe they will take it on board.Cheers
im finding my quad flys stable at p-20 and i-20 is this normal? or is somthing wrong? becuase ive read that the i is usually 50% of your p. when i first started out i was at p-60 and i-30 and just worked my way down until my current settings. am i doing somthing wrong here?
not at all. if it flys good at the settings you have then so be it. every copter is different due to size, weight, center of gravity, esc type and so on. so everyone will have its own sweet spot so to say. i beleive i had mine both at about 35 or 40 when i was running this board on a tricopter.
i have 2 kk 2.0 boards with no lcd for sell in the US only. they can be programmed using an alternate cmd prompt that i have been using but i upgraded to multiwii so no need for them anymore. $15 each with free shipping.
Robert this really is not the place to do selling. Please consider putting your great offer in the classified section on the Members Forum (Blue tab at top of Page). Also if you could PM me there, I would like to know more!
English: WOW WOW WOW The best and cheaper flight controller for multicopter and not. You can find thousand pages on internet for calibrate it. The controller have the last firmware installed. (the my have 1.2 firmvare). I have ordered 3 of it, both for my 70cm outdoor and 23cm indoor quadcopter.
Italiano: WOW WOW WOW Il controllore di volo migliore e più economico per multicopter e non. È possibile trovare migliaia di pagine su internet per calibrarlo. Il controllore ha l'ultimo firmware installato. (la mia ha la Ver 1,2 di firmvare). Ne ho ordinato 3 schede, sia per il mio quad da 70cmper il volo all'aperto che il micro da 23 cm.

Got the board today, looks state of art but, not all functions working, went to sensor test option and it showed all ACC sensors OK and on gyro X and Y ok but Z-not Ok, tried to calibrate on horizontal non moovable table-but it keept failing...So believe the gyro sensor on Z axes faulty-already second board in my collection that I believe wasn't checked properly by QC
Will try to look into other settings,maybe find something what causing it,
otherwise would try to look for replacement...

Over all this is a great board with many features that are easy to access. The added screen makes all configuration dummy proof and accelerometers help with unwanted drift. You can also use the custom mixer for any crazy ideas that may not have an existing program.
