Support for Coaxial Helicopter?

Started this discussion. Last reply by gearwolf Oct 9, 2012. 26 Replies

I've looked for a section all over the program and even though I can find the swash plate settings for a 90 degree swash I don't see anything for designating the motors for yaw control.  Is there…Continue

APM2 for just FBL stabilizer

Currently I have an APM2 on order.  What I would like to do is just have the APM2 be an FBL controller.  I have a direct drive tail (no servo) with a gyro.  I would have to test it later with the…Continue

"I have my coaxial setup so anytime you guys are ready.  It now has brushless motors with turnigy 6A escs and I'm using a vtail mixer for motor control but that can be taken out."

"Not sure anyone noticed this but the video feed not only has to be stereo but it also has to be warped for the lens to give you that 110 fov.  I pledged too but I'm hoping someone can come up with a filter system through a computer to…"

"That would be fine.  It would probably be a lot easier and faster.  Sorry I wish I could actually do all that and help."

"I can be interested to test the code on a Lama v3 ( fixed pitch,2 servos and 2 esc). I can have a lama v3 ( old mine) with some mods ( full Extrem kit and brushless motors ) for testing. And of course, crash, repair, re crash etc.... lol "

"yes. They are hobbyking 30 amp escs and micro analog servos. As for the download from GIT, compile and upload, I can learn it.  I just need some guidance or a tutorial or a wiki to look at."

"Ok, my mistake.  So 2 servos and 2 ESC's.  That makes it even easier! So do they take standard PWM? Can you download from GIT, compile and upload?"

gearwolf replied to gearwolf's discussion Support for Coaxial Helicopter?
"how come three servos?  Most small coaxials only use a 90 degree two servo system with two esc controls.  The servos control forward/backward/left/right controls and the esc's control yaw and elevation.  For yaw control one esc…"

"Yes.  If you're not using an aircraft that is going to use 3 standard servos for control, and 2 standard ESC's using standard PWM output, then I don't think I can help you.  Not saying it can't be done, but it's…"

"I'm ready to start working on it, but I don't have enough details, ie: ESC control.  I lots of very specific details, otherwise I could be just wasting my time. "

"So my version 1 didn't work out, but I should be building v2 very soon.  I had too much flex and the blades ran into each other.  So whenever you would like to start code testing just give me a shout."
