jpknobel commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"I like your thinking Bjorn Geir Leifsson. First i need a suitable camera :). would love a GoPro HD, but at the moment i have my phone, which probably isn't adequate. Thanks for your input"
Björn Geir Leifsson commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Regarding the question whether the arms are sturdy enough against twisting, my suggestion is to put a video camera on the copter in level with the props so that one or preferably two prop ends will be in the picture. Then you may be able to see how…"
Jeff E commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"I agree maybe if you have heavier payload then might need those additional support but on your vid quite stable and ACM doesnt seem to be affected by vibration...Great job thanks for sharing..."
jpknobel commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Yeah Jeff E i thought about making removable arms at the beginning but thought for less complexity and weight i would make it the right size to fit in almost all boots as thats where it will be transported. I've also thought about adding braces…"

Jeff E commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Great design very original. I like the simplicity. This could make it possible also to build a portable flat hexa with removable arms ( tho it will become more complex that it should be). I think adding X cf plate like in th emotor mount about 1/3…"
jpknobel commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"The arms are very strong. there is no movement at all in them, however if twisted you can twisted the arms a little, this isn't that bad because if you think about it there are no forces produced or encountered that will want to make the arms…"
John Lee commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Also - it looks like you're powering 3 motors per battery pack rather than wiring the packs in series? If so do you find that works ok?"
John Lee commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Thanks for posting the pictures, Jamie. That's a BIG hex! So despite their length the booms can resist twisting? "
Filipe Feijão commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Hi jpknobel,
Nice work.
I started to build my first quadcopter last month but i didn't finish it yet. I bought a wood frame to start because it cheaper. If everything goes ok, my next step will be a hexa with carbon frame.
Did you already test…"

I thought i would share my hexacopter build with the world, it's not finished as of yet but it is getting there.This is my second multicopter build; the first being a quadcopter which i may make a build log about as well but basically it was to see if my choice of building materials etc would hold up with the hexacopter project. Components I am using:- NTM Prop Drive 35-36A series (1800k/v @ 875W)- HobbyKing Redbrick 80amp esc- Ardupilot Mega board - Megnetometer - Xbee Pro…See More

nicolas grunbaum commented on jpknobel's blog post Homemade Hexacopter Powered by Arducopter"Thanks jpknobel, I'll wait, while I'm trying to adjust mines. I'm trying to use the CH6 option but can't get it to work. At least I don't see the diferences.
Jason, I can't find the info about ch6 tuning using cli…"
