Can I use the optic flow sensor simultaneously with the sonar?

Started Feb 14, 2012 0 Replies

I have a sonar installed and I see in the optic flow sensor instructions that it takes 5v from the same pin as the sonar does, would it be OK to have both sensors connected and working?Thank you…Continue

Jittering motor problem - it's not the bullets

Started this discussion. Last reply by estebanflyer Feb 11, 2012. 8 Replies

Folks:10 seconds after powering the APM, the right motor starts jittering.When I test this same motor without APM, it works fine. That cancels out bad bullets, bad ESC or bad motor. I have tried a…Continue

Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I want to have the most advanced helicam in Toronto and use it in film productions. I have a quad with a GU 344 gyro already working and shooting, but the Arducopter seems really superior. EDIT: really really superior.

Reset defaults turn on filters. tell us in detail about your setup you have any pictuers?

I am selling ban new Lotus t580 ready to fliy reliyeble carbon moduler air frame.

I QA Test all t580

At 9:12pm on August 8, 2011, estebanflyer said…

turn on filter mean solder the filters on the board? i did that. I will reset to defaults when i get new propellers this coming friday.

thanks for the offer, but I need a heavy lifter!

thanks for replying.

do you have a shop?

At 6:51am on August 9, 2011, OG said…

looks good

The T580 is a heavy lifter designed for photography Payload 500g to 800g : for a still camera or a DV & very light carbon construction position hold, xmode + mode selectable options. I think it could be a weight/power issue as well when I load up my copter it is hard to control it takes a lot of practice.

How many grams is your bad boy ?
I only have a web store at the moment http://www.mymobilemms.com/OFFTHEGRIDSUN.COM/catalog/index.php I still need to hook up the shipping calculator.
Hear are some of the un mudded T580 videos it capable of a lot more if you replace the stock electronics.
som guy did a wii copter conversion it can even do acrobatics

Hi, 

Your rate P is far too low. Rate P is directly related to how hard your motors try to keep you level. Your quad looks a bit "lazy".  If the defaults didn't work for you try something just a bit lower.

Don't worry about your Stabilize P until you get this thing behaving more snappy.

 

At 2:01pm on September 9, 2011, estebanflyer said…

Perfect! thank you!

When Rate P was higher it would woobble too much, but i did lower both STAB P and RATE P at the same time.

Thanks again.

Both stabilize and simple mode work flawlessly.

 

The beast is flying with four 4 cells batteries, 400 gram each. wingspan is 120 cm. Propellers are 14 X 7 3 blades.

Four modes switch for Futaba T6EX

Posted on July 2, 2011 at 2:00pm 23 Comments

The T6EX doesn't have a 3 position switch channel, so I had to combine channel 5 and 6 to get four modes. I made it work with a pot that has double terminals for each knob position, so that way there is always 2 pins to connect cables to for a single position.

 

Think of this knob as a bridge between same terminals: A to A, B to B, etc, closing the circuit to ground.

Channel 6 is connected to a terminal A and a terminal B from the opposite side.

Channel 5 is…
