Steven Y Prince commented on Russell - ScoutUAV.com's blog post Scout Hexa really stable with Arducopter 2.4.1"I am interested in your hexacopter. Can you message me with more information? I am looking for a complete copter for AV/AP use minus the electronics."
Russell - ScoutUAV.com commented on Russell - ScoutUAV.com's blog post Scout Hexa really stable with Arducopter 2.4.1"Hi Steven, I built this hexa frame. I did make room to allow for a FPV system. I can build you this frame, if you are interested send me a message."
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.4 released"I too am experiencing this problem. After digging through several post I believe it is a bug. I read that the CAM_P_G and CAM_R_G are sharing the same variable name as another parameter. It should be fixed with the next update."
Steven Y Prince commented on Russell - ScoutUAV.com's blog post Scout Hexa really stable with Arducopter 2.4.1"Is that the Arducopter frame you are flying? I built a tricopter and want to go with at hexa for AV/AP. My APM should be here any day now, and I am looking for a good frame. Does this have room for FPV gear? "
"What you have done is my initial experience with the current build also. There is more refinement to do. Vibration reduction is important. Software Filtering a 3D imu is not easy especially if there is not much processor power left to do such."
Rana commented on Russell - ScoutUAV.com's blog post Scout Hexa really stable with Arducopter 2.4.1"That's really nice !"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com posted a blog postScout Hexa really stable with Arducopter 2.4.1
I have been working on a hexacopter for aerial videography and photography. The hexacopter is equipped with a ArduPilot Mega with sonar, gps, magnetometer and a camera gimbal. After hours of tuning, I got the Scout Hexa really dialed in.I really happy with the stability of the Arducopter code. Here is a video demonstrating some of the ArduPilot Mega's capabilities. I am working on eliminating the aircrafts vibration to the camera. See More
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to John Campen's discussion Batteries"Running the batteries in parallel is fine. Make absolutely sure your wiring is correct and that you won't be shorting the batteries when you connect them in parallel.
You can charge the batteries in parallel but you won't be able to…"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to Sigfinn Andersen's discussion Size of hexa platform"Yes longer arms do provide greater stability. You will want to have your arms long enough to clear the neighboring propellers prop washer. If you are going to use the aircraft for a camera platform, then it's better to keep the…"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com commented on Azam Shahani's blog post Incredible Flight Endurance!"Well said Squalish!"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com commented on Azam Shahani's blog post Incredible Flight Endurance!"They are also running 12.2Ah and 18.3Ah (depending on model) Lipo batteries. Those are 6 times larger than what is typical used on most quadcopters."
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to John Campen's discussion Batteries"The percentage is mAh's. As far as the voltage difference, assuming you have the correct number of resistors solders, you may need to recalibrate the voltage sensor.
Run through the setup for calculating the battery…"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to John Campen's discussion Batteries"For LiPo batteries you should stop flying when each cell reaches 3.2 volts. For a 3-cell LiPo that is 9.6 volts. You will want to set your alarm higher than 9.6 volts to give you some time to RTL."
Russell - ScoutUAV.com replied to Bart's discussion CNC question"The Fireball should be fine for your needs. I just finished making a camera gimbal from 2D pieces. The 1/16" bit is fine for making the slots, but I would use a 1/8" bit to cut the parts out. Using the 1/16" bit…"
Russell - ScoutUAV.com commented on Chris Anderson's blog post APM-powered hexacopter project on Kickstarter"Looks like funding as been cancelled. I wonder what happened?"
