Your board is running v 2.2 - Use GUI JAVAConfig 2.2
Boards requires 5v power to run - it will blow above 6v!
5.0v only
correct polarity only!

this is an abbreviated guide - FULL PARIS info online
Using the Tx sticks to operate the PARIS
Set the Throttle to OFF - After connecting the LiPo - The ESCs will
beep to indicate they are powered but not armed - ESC’s cannot arm
on power-up with PARIS Wii boards. The embedded PARIS
software prevents this and requires you arm with a stick combi-
nation below The red LED comes on (steady) on the CPU board show-
ing the board has power. After connecting the LiPo (or USB) the green
CPU LED will ash for 5 secs then go OUT If the LED blinks green (fast)
but won’t stop blinking - then the Rx is not powered by 5v (an Rx cannot
get sufcient PWR from some USB! It must be powered by 5v from at least
one BEC).If the green LED still blinks green (fast) but won’t stop blinking
-then the Rx is not connected to the correct PARIS/warthox THRO pin
correctly. The ESCs cannot calibrate as a multi-engine-group because the
default state of the CPU->ESC is Dis-armed for all engines. You need
to calibrate ESC throttle-learning range as a separate exercise
-below If the ESC’s beep-non-stop then they are not connected to the
PARIS board ESC pins or the Rx is incorrectly connected or the Rx/PARIS
sees you do not have your throttle to zero.
FAILSAFE - If your copter goes out of radio-range it may cause harm - if
still powered - Take the precaution to program in the FAILSAFE condition
to protect people/property. Do not skip this step.
Bind your failsafe (Read your Radio manual - FAILSAFE) on the Tx
with power/Throttle set to OFF - Power off failsafe condition. You might
decide to set the failsafe power to 1/3 throttle so the aircraft descends in a
controlled descent - recommended if understood - For Example on FrSky
- set sticks as above (or THRO to 1/3) - then Press the Rx button - 2 green
ashes on the Rx itself - done. Failsafe can also be set in Software (NOT
recommended - Use only for ultra basic or legacy Tx’s - if your Tx has fail-
safe - use that). When you turn your Tx OFF in a test the Failsafe - should
return the Copter to level and min-throttle -
NOTE : If you use a 1/3 power (controlled descent setting) be aware that
if you switch your radio off while the PARIS armed - then you will initiate a
1/3 powered condition!You must understand this concept fully and realise
the word failsafe - does not mean you can be an idiot - sorry - you still
need to understand the consequences of your chosen failsafe condition -
and You will be deciding what the Radio will do when it cannot receive a
signal. You are still the Pilot in command - YOU are responsible to decide
how you will handle failsafe above.
Arming - Learn to recognise that your WiiCopter is ARMED. Hold right
Yaw (or right cyclic) for 1 sec - you will see the Green LED come on - stays
on SOLID If LED does not come on GREEN - then increase YAW travel
on the Tx (see Transmitter Calibration procedure - above top) - or Check
the THRO is not actually reversed by mistake (Futaba) - then trim down a
few clicks on the THRO trim. If it still won’t arm connect FTDI and use the
JAVA-Cong (see below - install JAVA) to make sure the Throttle PWM is
below 1100 (normal THRO range is 1100-1900) - In order to arm - the
Wii CPU is looking for THRO <1100 and YAW ~1900 - The GUI
shows actual values from Rx and is a valuable guide to trouble-shoot a
CPU which won’t apparently arm.
Disarming - Learn to DISARM the ESC’s before touching or approach-
ing the Copter ESC’s/Motors can start suddenly and the props can
cut - ngers and eyes - permanent injuries With THRO OFF ; Hold the
YAW stick LEFt for 1 sec ; then the CPU GREEN LED will go OUT and
stay out
Gyro Calibration - Disarm the copter (see above) ; Place the Copter
on a perfectly LEVEL LZ - it must be completely static - Set Trims to
neutral - Stand back - With THRO off, Hold the YAW LEFT and the Cy-
clic stick Back for 1 Sec ; release - you will see the GREEN LED blinking
fast for a few secs then go out - The Gyro is now calibrated for drift (at
this ambient temperature) - The Gyro on a PARIS/warthox board is the
WiiMP+ You can Ddo this everytime you y - preferably about 2mins
after Powering up - in the outside air temps where you will y.
Accelerometer (Acc) Calibration - Fly the Copter in ACRO mode
- Trim the copter using the Transmitter stick sub-Trims so it hovers still
on STILL air (no wind) - Land - Disarm the copter (see above) ; ensure
the Copter is on a perfectly LEVEL LZ - it must be completely static
- Conrm the DISARMED LED is OFF - Hold Full THRO/YAW LEFT
and the Cyclic stick Back for 1 Sec ; release - you will see the GREEN
LED blinking fast for a few secs then go out - The Acc is now calibrated
for LEVEL mode (at this ambient temperature) - The ACC on a PARIS/
warthox board is the Nunchuk®.
Accelerometer (Acc) Trimming - Also called auto-LEVEL trim-
ming - FIRST do after the GYRO & ACC calibrations and normal ACRO
trimming (see above) using the Tx trims. LAND. Switch over to LEVEL
mode (Gear Switch). Take off and mentally note the way the copter
wants to drift - DO NOT TRIM THE TX - Land - The nal ACC trimming
procedure (below) is this -DISARM (see above - the Green LED will go
OFF) Move the THRO to the ‘Learn Position - full up) - in this example
the copter was moving back and right - so ; using stick-banging - move
the cyclic (right stick) up once (led blinks) - then left once (led blinks) -
these alterations are saved to the CPU memory. ARM again - hover and
repeat the process until the copter hovers ‘level’.
All testing with PROPS OFF - then install last Failsafe is DISABLED in software - use Tx failsafe
