Flight mode PWM ranges

Started this discussion. Last reply by Ken Kroeker Aug 9, 2012. 2 Replies

Can anyone tell me where the PWM ranges are defined for each flight mode?  Is there a reason why the PWM range for Flight Mode 1 is so large?Continue

"Watch the video.  4'th axes are not generally fixed in one position - they are moved to wherever the setup requires them to be. As far as where it is in the video - everybody gotta be someplace...... I'll ask him where he got the…"

"Not sitting on a cross slide   -  it just has a 4'th axis on the end.  I had a little correspondence with the guy who built it and he will answer questions. He has unfortunately lost the drawings though. "

"I'm interested. Currently looking at building a cnc router for wood and Al in a 18 in by 36 in cutting area, but 24 by 36 would be ok too.  I have a cnc mill, so can proto parts if necessary. Is there a working spec somewhere with…"

"Thanks for that. I can get 6 modes if I change the ranges a little.  For some reason I can't get mixing to deliver the unique values in the range that mission planner wants."

udrones "ready to fly" quad problems

My "ready to fly" quad continues to have problems and has yet to achieve lift off. After several violent flips and broken props on attempted takeoffs I have tethered the quad to a platform so that I could observe it better. In this tethered mode, I can see that pitch works correctly, but yaw and roll moves are reversed. In other words: Pushing the right stick to the right causes a roll to the left (opposite to expected behavior) Pushing the right stick to the left causes a roll to the right…See More

Ken Kroeker replied to Dom's discussion Where are the CAD files located?
"I've used some of the drawings that are around to begin a 3d model of a quad frame. A rendering of a partial assembly is attached. When it's done I will make the files available if anyone is interested. Question: Do the brushless motors…"
