In this article, KDE is recommending what looks to be powering OPTO ESC systems from the PM both to the power connector on top of the Pixhawk, and also connecting to the power rail on the back.
I'm building a Sky Hero Spy 750 using Pixhawk and 3DR GPS/telemetry etc.
Is there an alternative to using the 3DR Power Module to power the Pixhawk? I'm questioning the 14 AGW wires being able to handle the current draw from the motors (KDE 2814XF-515
I have a Y6B, now am looking to build a X4, maybe X8 later on (there is no replacement for displacement as they say), but for now an X4 with high quality motors and props is what I'm looking at.
This build will be more for long flight times and reliab
Attached is the log file and kmz. I did CompassMOT a few weeks ago and it was 4-7%. Vibration looks ok to me. It was a mystery and my first thought was ESC sync issue or motor failure but now I'm wondering if it was due to bad radio calibration causi
Anyone get this error in their logs? My Y6 would not hold position in Loiter/PosHold and it appears the hdop is increasingly exceeding 2.0. I took off in stab mode, switched to HoldPos to test, and the thing was wondering all over; I barely had cont
This was probably answered, but tonight I used Auto Tune on my Y6. I noticed after doing it there is a box checked 'Lock Pitch and Roll Values'. What is that for and should it be checked?
After a few weeks of frustration and noob mistakes, I'm really
I have the flying down pretty good with about 2 dozen successful manual flights and missions, but one thing that's been bothering me in the build manual is this section on 'backup power'.
One the one hand it says the zener diode is best but not requir
My 3DR Y6B has gone through several APC 10 x 4.7 props, no fault of the props. I've had several good flights now with no broken props so would like to experiment.
Does anyone know or have a recommendation for good quality CF props to replace the SF an
I'm finally getting things ironed out (I hope) on my Y6B DIY, but one issue is nagging me. My trims are set for in flight. In stab mode it hovers nice and still once off ground. Taking off though from day it wants to roll right.
RTL has worked well for 10-15 flights. Tonight I performed compassmot, came back at 6%. Did it again, 7%. Everything seemed ok, but haven't tried Auto Tune yet.
So I ran a test flight in the back yard before going to the field. Took off, put in alt-h,
As I understand the X8R "should" connect fine with the PixHawk.
The question is what FrSky Tx should I get for the Turnigy 9XR to make it all work? Will the 9XR work with the FrSky components so they all talk to each other?
