Web Based Tuning Simulator for Arducopter PID Control Loops

I remember some years back there existed a web based turning simulator where numerical values such as P, I, D, IMAX, etc could be input along with the drone's mass.  The drone could then be flown vitually to visually look at how various tunes would fly (or not fly).   Does anyone remember this simultor or have a link?   I remember the creator was recruited by 3D robotics back when they were still developing the 3DR Solo.

Looking for opinions on my first full build

 Greetings all, I have recently began planning on my first full drone build. I have some experience with building drones in the past, however those were mainly just RTFs that I would install a flight controller on. I have chosen the following list of parts as a basic build, however I would like some input from other people due to my lack of experience. It should be noted that I built this with some of the cheapest parts I could find.What I am asking is:Is there any potential compatibility…

Trouble Shooting F90 Long Range Motor

After a crash, I have noticed that my fourth motor (F90 LRM) is not working, others three work fine. Initially, I thought it was because the wiring from the ESC (f55A pro) to flight controller (Tmotor f7) was loose, so I redid the wiring and plugged it in again and noticed the fourth motor responding on betaflight, however, it stops working after 10 seconds of run time. The ESC beeps three times as well. I also noticed that my FC is really hot. If anyone knows what might be wrong or how to go…

Hello everyone! Recently caught myself thinking that time is merciless, it's consumed by tasks, work, family. And I have no hobbies left. Absolutely none, except PC and mobile games, Aviator of smth like from this. Can you suggest what you do in your free time? Is it possible to find a hobby that won't take up much time and isn't directly related to drones or only indirectly?

 Data Reading Issue2360×3220 319 KBAn issue with reading data from the telem1 port of CUAV-X7+I am trying to integrate KingTech 210 ECU with Ardupilot firmware. The above .jpeg file explains the flow of my code. I made a library in the libraries directory of the ArduPilot (AP) source code. I have defined a serial protocol named “SerialProtocol_KT_ECU = 49” in serialManager.h file. I used the find_serial function from the serial manager libraryto find the ECU instance and the find_baudrate…
