PreArm: Accelerometers calibrated requires rebootPreArm: GPS HDOP 5.2 (needs 2.5)PreArm:…"

"Update: I got past step 10, it turns out my RC wasn't calibrated. The firmware was uploaded properly, and the failsafe was also set up without issue. This isn't necessarily an issue, but more of a space saving question. Is the External GPS…"

Hello all,I finally learned that my problem with the binding issue was that I wasn't removing the bind plug, and that was therefore putting the receiver in bind mode every time after I restarted the quad, so that's out of the way. Now that the Rx/Tx…

So I posted a few discussions covering the RC issues I've been having. Thinking about it, I started wondering if my module and receiver were even compatible.I have a Dsss transmitter module with a Turnigy 9XR Pro, trying to connect it with my…

Trey Hagg replied to Skhumbuzo Dube's discussion Hoverboard
"I just wanted to point out that the Lexus Hoverboard was a joke video. They buried a conductive metal track underneath the concrete so it followed a certain path. Great video, though! Bill Piedra said:
It's certainly been done before, but you might…"

"I think he means making a hoverboard as in an actual hoverboard. Where would he put the stickers without a hoverboard? Andre K. said:
....so , by "design" you mean to choose colour and put on stickers ? :)"

Trey Hagg replied to Trey Hagg's discussion Powering a receiver with the Pixhawk
"Hi,
Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I used a Nimh battery on the receiver and it turns out it's fried because of the charger I used to be using on the battery I had. I got a new battery and charger, so that isn't a problem anymore. I ordered a new…"

So, I have a 9xr Pro with a Dsss transmitter module and I'm trying to pair it with a Turnigy 9x version 2 8ch receiver, but they just don't seem to want to bind properly. When I plug the battery into the receiver, the red flashing light comes on and…

Trey Hagg replied to neil sam's discussion Breaking solar cells into pieces
"The way I look at it is, if you don't actually break any of the cells, you can separate them to the desired separation and connect them with the proper wires and they'll still carry the gathered power to your drone hardware.
I don't know as much as…"

Trey Hagg replied to Anton Ludwig's discussion Transmitter and Receiver Combo?
"Receivers work by getting a signal through the air from the transmitter. There are different types of receiver signals: PPM (Pulse Position Modulation), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), Satellite, and a few others. Most, if not all, FCs use PPM to…"

I think I'm almost done with my drone, but I have run into a problem.So the Pixhawk doesn't supply power to the servo rail, but that is the only thing my receiver is connected to... I'm trying to research how to power the receiver without a separate…

"I recently completely dismantled my quadcopter, and now I'm going to start over.
I'm going to start by doing away with the PDB I have on it (Probably should've mentioned that; It might've been the problem) and use the Flamewheels built-in power…"

Trey Hagg replied to Trey Hagg's discussion Can't get my quadcopter flying
"Hello all,
I bought a new battery and propellers yesterday. In addition to being completely dead, the old battery was very swollen. It was on the bottom layer of the frame, so I only got to see its condition when I pried it out. I'm probably going…"

Trey Hagg replied to Trey Hagg's discussion Can't get my quadcopter flying
"Matej,
I did a little bit of research and found an answer for you.
There are three measurements to propellers. The first is, of course, the diameter of the prop. The second is prop pitch. This is how high the four props could lift the drone per…"

Trey Hagg replied to Trey Hagg's discussion Can't get my quadcopter flying
"Update:
So with the battery on my quadcopter, I measured it before charging and it said 0.04V. I was a little surprised. I then measured each cell individually and the first cell read 0.01V, the second one was 0.0V and the last cell was 0.03V. Then,…"
