Hi!
So i was building this 3dr y6 and just got to calibrate everything etc. now i have one motor just twitching around. after testing it came out it has to be the esc.
with a multimeter i tested the wires going to the cable and the resistance on the b

I was just wondering what you guys' input might be on efficient quad setups. strong ones. maybe for a dslr even?
i was always just looking for low kv and 8s or 10s. but my flight times aren't that impressive.
what do you think?

I'm using a 3DRobotics teletry kit and I'm trying to make my 3DR qaudcopter to communicate realtime with
MATLAB. Since the telemetry kit has a UART interface, I tried creating a serial object with baudrate 57600 in MATLAB.(I tried using fread,
I am using the 3DR LiveView Monitor (Black Pearl) that has two cloverleaf antennas on top. I have mounted it to a pole and am wondering if it is okay to run antenna RPSMA extension cables and mount the clover leafs higher up the pole? I was going to

Friends in UAV development,
Im a little curious about a component of the new FAA proposal for UAV in the US airspace.
One of the parts of the proposal states that individuals who undertake this kind of work might need some sort of "basic aeronautical t

i have some questions about flying missions with a Hexacopter using APM 2.6 with arducopter Firmware 3.2.1:

I'm interested in tweaking APM code to suit tilt rotor technology. I've seen guys use ArduCopter to tilt rotors through small angles and then rely on fixed aerodynamic surfaces to get additional lift and forward speed. Only catch is t

i have a Walkera G-3D Gimbal, and i am really not satisfied with the results. No way to tune PID values, and a pretty bad stabilizing...
The Mechanics are pretty ok. SO i thought about replacing the Walkera Controll unit with a 32 bit Alexmos boa

Our quadcopter is using pixhawk and we came to the ESC calibration process after the initial setups on mission planner. We plugged and unplugged the power, after that we powered it again following the instruction at: http://copter.ardupilot.

I have a problem after updating AC to 3.2.1 from 3.1.5.
When in Loiter, the the speed of the motors rev up and down/pulsate quite rapidly. This was working fine when I was using previous versions of arducopter.

Hello,
I'm planning to attach a bigger camera (than a GoPro) to my Tarot 2-axis brushless gimbal. My other camera is heavier and I will be attaching a backplate so that it can fit into the Tarot's holding mechanism (minus the blue front attachment).
