Har bygd en del oppsett i den størrelsen du snakker om.
Personlig ville jeg gått for 11x4.7 propeller, synes 8" gir altfor lite skyv.
Når det kommer til batterier er favoritten min 4S 5000mAh. Disse får en for 35 USD på hobbyking.…"
"Also the led strips are much cheaper on aliexpress.com, as long as you can wait the week or to it takes to get them shipped all the way from China.. I think I payed around 13 USD per meter incl shipping, but I had to order 4 meters.."
"I've used the WS2812 strips for many projects, and was thinking of implementing it on my hexacopter as well. The thing that stopped me initially was the fact that the code that you need to run to address them is very computeintensive. (800kHz…"
I recently received my ThreeDee gimbal, and assembled it this evening..
It looks like a very decent kit, good precision in the manufacturing. And high quality components as well.
Only problem I have found so far is some slack on the roll…"
I'd bet that the ESC which beeps, is the one that usually is supplying the APM with electricity.
When you connect the USB to the APM, you're feeding the APM with +5 volts, the same voltage
will travel back to the ESC and hence booting it up.…"
"The best way would be to buy a BEC, as this will prevent brownouts on the APM during hefty servoaction.
I've go for a 6v instead of 5v, as this gives you a quicker servo response. (Just check that your servos can handle it)
"Hey, would it be possible to get a look at your code? I'm trying to do the exact same thing with an ioBoard from jDrones.. They have an example but their code was a mess to get my head wrapped around.
"It's is possible me and a friend followed the gv9x guide, and just replaced the Xbee with the 3dr radio.
One problem we've found is it will lock up if you also have a radio connected to your pc at the same time.
The solution here is to first…"
"This happens if you have enabled the ALT_HOLD mode and try to land with it while it is engaged.
The solution is to land in STABILIZE, not in ALT_HOLD."
The same happened to me after an heavy impact.
I managed to fix so that it was able to function again, but the rest of the card was so smashed that I didn't dare fly with it again.
Anywho, here is how i fixed mine:
1. Put som soldering tin on,…"
Hi,Until today my APM2 has performed very good, but now it has changed it mind regarding booting with power from the output rail. And yes I have the JP1 connected, and tried to hardwire it just to be certain.And it is not a brown-out, as I have also…
