"Very nice Arash, it's fascinating to see how these pieces were put together.  I hope you make more posts like this in future! Do you have any notes on how the cage was processed?"

"I wonder why they used an aluminum structure, with the roll cage impact resistance of the arms shouldnt be an issue."

Custom Firmware Upload Problem

I have problem getting the APM1 to work arfter uploading the firmware through ardino sotfware. I download the Arducopter2.7.3 and follow the right steps in arduino software, the code is compiled and uploaded without any problem. But the APM does not do anything afterwards! I cannot connect it to MP and I don't get the green LED blinking.I tried older versions of firmware but still the same...any ideas??thanksSee More

"thanks for posting this Paul. The main idea is using the downward force, obtained by driving the propellers in reverse,  to to move the legs. Also, to get the  legs off ground SMA wires has been used. "

"Problem solved by resetting the board after turning it on! so I have to reset te board everytime I turn it on to have all ESCs working! "

"The problem still there! the strange thing is that only the one connected to OUTPUT 4 on the board works everytime and the others do not turn on at all! "

"Just a random thought but presumably you've initialised the ESCs? My guess is that the hacker escs are not coming on because their safety has been engaged right at the beginning.  Normally the ESCs have a safety feature in which stops them…"
