Luis Escobar replied to Luis Escobar's discussion Quick spektrum question in PIXHAWK
"Awesome, thank you for the info. I got my orangeRX receivers and I do believe they have to be bound to the transmitter through a different receiver before they can be used standalone, or at least that's the only way I got them to work. But they work…"

Luis Escobar replied to Oliver Wetmore's discussion Underwater Quadcopter
"Ever since I learned that brushless motors worked underwater I had this exact idea. I think the main issues would be getting accurate signal underwater, and dealing with the propeller sizes, because you'd need much smaller propellers underwater to…"

Luis Escobar posted a discussion in PIXHAWK
Hi all,So I was watching a video about the pixhawk and the guy claimed that you could plug a satellite receiver to the pixhawk and use it alone as the receiver. Is this true? I would have thought that you'd need a normal receive, like an AR6210, as…

Luis Escobar replied to Luis Escobar's discussion Tricopter setup with Pixhawk in ArduCopter User Group
"Thank you for the info about the yaw servo. I either wasn't watching it hard enough, or I had it wired up all wrong, but I got it working. Unfortunately, I ended up breaking it too, and I'm on vacation now so I don't really have any spares. Is there…"

Hi all, I just got a pixhawk to pilot my tricopter, and I'm having a few issues. For my setup, I've got pixhawk with a turnigy 9x and PPM encoder for the radio, 3DR power module, 3S battery, aftermarket 915 mhz 3DR telemetry, NEO-M8N GPS, and a q…

Luis Escobar replied to Anton Khrapov's discussion Strange behavior in ArduCopter User Group
"I had an issue with transmitter response times while flying in a park which had a huge radio antenna set up behind me. The lag was probably less than a second delay but that made it really difficult to fly. It may also contribute to your yaw if you…"

Luis Escobar replied to Kenneth's discussion Only 3 Motors spinning at any one time in ArduCopter User Group
"I had the same issue for quite a while, and my problem definitely had to do with ESC calibrating. Full throttle at startup puts hobbyking ESCs on programming mode, which caused me some problems. I just skipped ESC calibrating all together and my…"

Luis Escobar replied to yuvraj's discussion solar panel with lipo battery pack in ArduCopter User Group
"I have a similar setup with the solar panels charging up a 12V car battery, which is hooked up to the B6. But I can't charge batteries over 3S, presumably because the input voltage is less than the voltage of the battery I'm charging. (Same error…"

Luis Escobar replied to Luis Escobar's discussion "Third-person view" multirotor
"Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. It looks really interesting, but I can't really tell if it'd be a whole lot easier to fly just from the video... I've still gotta set it up myself, but my project quad is out of commission for a little…"

Luis Escobar replied to Ewen Rankin's discussion One Hour Flight Times - Specs
"How about those hybrid quad/planes? They definitely seem interesting, but I guess if you're going at a constant speed they wouldn't do much good. What do you need to carry?"

Luis Escobar replied to Ewen Rankin's discussion One Hour Flight Times - Specs
"Ah, I see. Sounds very interesting, I hope you can find what you need. But in my experience, as you said, large props and low Kv motors is the way to go also, high voltage is said to help, but I've heard arguments for low voltage as well. I'm not…"

"Hi,
What's the long flight time needed for? Just out of curiosity."

Luis Escobar commented on Brian Greeson's blog post My illegal UAS flight
"Wow, I thought the exact same thing when I read that; they're gonna start regulating paper airplanes, rocks, dust, you name it. Congrats, you're now a wanted man, lol"

Luis Escobar replied to Luis Escobar's discussion "Third-person view" multirotor
"True. I suppose, for the best perspective, the camera would be attached to some kind of post, and the post would be mounted somehow to the gimbal, so that the post is always upright...seems difficult.."

Hi all, I had an idea the other day.In my experience, flying FPV has always been so difficult to control and judge where you have to be in order to not run into stuff and to determine changes in altitude. OSDs help some, but it's still difficult to…

Luis Escobar replied to chrisa's discussion ADrone All Aluminum X copter
"Looks like a really great idea, since even though most frames are pretty cheap, this can be built instead of waiting weeks to get a frame from China or something, lol.  Folding arms would be a big plus, but I understand they could be a pain to…"
