Hello fellow drone enthausiasts,
I build and work with drones, specifically for photogrammetry applications.
What has got me scratching my head for the longest time, is that is seems that all solutions I can find on the market have the drone (either li

We would like to inform you that our company recently launched large-scale 3D printing services through Indiegogo, which can be used to order custom designed drone parts. We have developed the large-scale 3D printing platform and correspond

I have been always active in fixed wing.
One of my friends asked me to look in, the chances a quadcopter can survive a defect engine, or motor controller ?
The Frame should carry a 5kg sensor package, so, we are talking about a pretty heavy machi
We are trying to get a Hexacopter (Tarot X6 frame) with a Pixhawk Cube Orange+, Arducopter v4.5.1, Castle Creations DMR 30/40 ESCs and Tarot 5008 KV:340 motors, 18in CF props, in flight condition.
The only thing that is non-standard, is we have a 2 ½

Hello,
I have got a Pixhawk Flight controller board. All I am looking further is to use simulation with Pixhawk. I no nothing about Gazebo or any other simulation.
I want to learn simulation with Pixhawk. Can anyone help me out with where to start from
Hi
I am building new copter based on pixhawk 2.1 and here+ gps. It will be quite big octo but for now it’s quad with 15" propellers. I have mission planner 1.3.52 and copter firmware 3.5.5. When I am connected to mission planner from time to time I g
Hi,
If this is the wrong place to put this please redirect me to the proper board. My issue is trying to configure the control surfaces from the pixracer to the mission planner software (Qgroundcontrol). The servos are being hooked up to channels 1 a

I'd appreciate weblinks to the company.
Thanks for your help.
A new and improved version of the hands-on Arduino DIY flight controller for ESP32 / RP2040 / STM32 is available.
madflight is now an Arduino library and can be installed directly from the library section in the Arduino IDE.

When I try to accelerate the motors there are only 3 speed levels.

I have pretty much completed the build of my Tarot Sport Quad:
This has been the most troublesome build I have ever undertaken. Aside from mistakes I made, false assumptions, buying some used equipment online that didn't work for me, I had quite a num

The load capacity , wheelbase and drone arm diameter of the frame will decide the motors, propellers and battery models.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand the parameters of the frame i
