Hi All;
Is there a way to avoid having to recalibrate the ESC every time the 12V is disconnected? I'm doing a project that requires 2 hexacopters to cooperatively lift a weight. There is going to be hundreds of power cycles and I'd like to avoid recalibration as much as possible.
The other quest is how hard is it to make the APM respond to usb commands rather than RC commands?
Thanks
Pat

Or do you mean Accelerometer calibration?

What we have is 2 hexacopters, a beam and a load cell to measure combined lift. All flight commands are to come in from USB, from a script. The commands will be roll, pitch and throttle, no yaw. I'm thinking if I can disable the PPM and inject the USB as a servo signal I should be set.
Any ideas or warnings are welcomed.
Thanks
Pat
Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The fourth round is an accuracy round for multicopters, which requires contestants to fly a cube. The deadline is April 14th.203 members
