"Dani - Do you have time to look at the attached Excel file for making custom frame calculations and creating the add_motor_raw commands? I'm looking to create a document that tells custom frame folk how to use arducopter.
Please look at…"

Wayne Jones replied to Jeff E's discussion Arducopter Support for uneven Hexa TY6 H6"Hey, if possible can a idiot proof example of how to write the code for the above V-6 hexa be shown here. I get the percentages from 100% arm length and how to figure that to fit my frame, what I don't get is exactly how to write the code and…"
Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"I have used castle ESC for a long time, even both their esc that were still version 1 and got replaced to whatever revision but had to ship it back (Im outside US so its a bit expensive). IMHO unless castle will replace the existing HW and then…"
Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"Magnus, TC made those ESC but only for himself, he said that useless to create such ESC since most Hobbywing OEM will perform well with simonk firmware. OPESC still no word when they will release but I know they are testing. Sadly like ESC32 still…"
Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"Nice....I envy you since I dont have the means to make one but would like to get a cheap one like ESC32 or the AfroESC which TC stop making. HerKules II is out of budget. So I am stuck in waiting :(

Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"Davey, have you checked TC's AfroESC he dont mind someone building it, its opensoruced but not based on STM32 ARM but rather the normal ATMega8. no one had it yet except TC but the good thing is it supports Simonk's custom firmware.On the…"
Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"@Max, thanks for that its the ESC themselves are always getting harder to buy (mostly out of stock). Been following that thread too..but thanks for the link. Just in my opinion if someone got an open source multirotor targeted ESC and ready for easy…"
Jeff E commented on Bill Nesbitt's blog post AutoQuad ESC32 v1r5"Quite interesting to see this ESC. I myself is needing of an ESC that has higher PWM rates tho custom firmware is available its quite hard to get the reliable ones with the ready pin out for programming/flashing. Hope this is open source."

Jeff E replied to Paul Guggenbuehl's discussion I have a Fyetech.com Y6, I want to put in my IMU/oil-GPS pan system where do I start? in the group ArduCopter User Group"Paul, not to divert you from Arducopter but I think this is what you were waiting for
The sad news is it will cost more than the DJI itself base on other forums. It will be close to MK.
But dont get me wrong Arducopter still…"
