Quad build

Hey all,

 

this is my first build of a quadrocopter. It has Robbe Roxxy 710 10A ESC's, Pichler Nano Silverwind 9A motors, 8x3,8 props and a 3S 3200 mha battery. Some red and white LEDs for night flying. The frame is out of 15mm square aluminium (OBI Baumarkt). 4 custom made motormounts 13x13x13 alu with M3 (selfmade with milling machine). It has a Mui 150 from Jeti Model for voltage warning (out of my old Funjet). The center plate is out of 110x110mm PCB( 300x250 Conrad Elektronik). Weight with battery is 880gr. It needs 13 A to hovver around. The landing gear is also from OBI, not the nicest one^^(but it can bounce around).  I will stay tuned for new easier code, to get all the things like GPS and altitude working. And i don´t understand the code really. For me it´s in stable mode 3.1, 0.2, 0.7 and in this setup it´s hovering stable, but only with my steering (not very stable if im loosing my sticks, or switching from this mode^^) So if anybody can help me with the code to implement something from my side (Altitude Hold) this woud be very nice. Because it has no altitude measuring (i think) and it´s always hovering in 1 m around, without the grouneffect.

    Altitude hold is in the new ArduCopter NG branch. It will be released publicly in the next week or so..
  • why did you use 15mm alu?
    you should decouple the apm, if you use a smaller battery it would have a better thrust / weight ratio

    same in german:
    10mm alu profile reichen normalerweise komplett aus, 15mm wiegen einfach nur viel mehr
    für die motoren+propeller hast du eine ziemlich schwere battery drin
    und eigentlich das wichtigste: am besten legst du schaum oder i-was dämpfendes unter den apm, du hast den jetzt mit heißkleber festgeklebt, das gibt die vibrationen direkt weiter -> instabiles flugverhalten durch störungen auf den sensoren
