Hi,

 I built a  V shaped with 12 motor and coaxial prop 
I know that the V shape is patented by Asctec.
This is a test only for learning purpose.

Is based on Coridium ARMmite pro controller.

Motor: keda 50-20s with 8x4.5 prop

Gyro ITG3200, Acc BMA180, Lipo 5000 mAh

Yes is patend by Astec if you search online you can found it. Danilo are doing a great work with his code and configuration . He start his project before my first code on ARM MP32 start to work. He is a veteran of ARM :)

@ Roberto, you are generous in your comments, thanks
It would be nice if I could use your hardware (MP32) ,
right now I think it is the best for this type of application.

It's an IMU or individual sensors?

A Patent has to contain Unique and original demands, otherwise, it's only Bluf !!

I does not read German, and I would like to have an English or French version of these demands ?

Anyway, it is not in mind of Doh It Yourself :)

I know what @wilfred means... a patent does not seem to fit with the open-source flavour of this community.

 

Actually, a patent does not prevent you or I from using this design, only from making money on it.

 

-and nowadays, it does not even seem to prevent that.   [can you spell C. H. I. N. A?]

Hi Juan,

They are two separate sensors, but have the i2c bus in common
