Hello,
I'm using the Pixhawk flight controller on a Quadcopter.
With the throttle stick on my RC transmitter all the way up - My ESCs will deliver current well above the rating of my brushless motors - effectively burning the windings.
I know that I can
Hi there,Currently I am planning to make a new wind turbine. I am using a 12V DC motor to run the turbine and it will generate electricity. I have a 12V to 240Vac (DC TO AC) inverter which i made myself after doing some research in the internet.Now I

C-astral wings (website) are identical to the wing X8 Skywalker (or the opposite!), but the perfomance are very different. What could double performance of the c-astral? The outer covering (composite or carbon)? The motor / prop combination? My go

Just wondering if there were any suggestions about anti-vibe mounts for APM; I have the one in this picture, but I seem to be getting borderline bad vibes at hover. It works well on my other craft, but seems to be failing on this one. It's als

I have had about 20 flights or so on AC3.3rc7 on Pix....I usually fly an AUTO mission and I manually takeoff (even thou I have a TAKEOFF entry of 10m) and then switched to AUTO at a low altitude and then it takes it from there, been doing this for

I took off today and found that it wanted to pitch to the right with me having to put full left stick to level the copter.
Looking at the logs it seems that when the copter it level and disarmed it keeps ro

This flight was actually 34 minutes long, but the APM is only recording 15 mins. Every time, exactly 15 mins.
How do I enable full log lengths again?
Read more…Thanks for reading.
We are having problems with the RCIN port of the Pixhawk for the purposes of passively logging servo signals via a PPM encoder.
The intention is to be able to quantify the actual control inputs to the helicopters control system. T

But i have a question: what it means A40°, 50°, 40°, 30°?
How much is single load (in grams) for each mark?
A40°= ? gr

In some cases it sent the ESC into program mode, so by the time we lowered the throttle level we now had a non-functioning ESC. Also t
