"Very strange! Two of the ESC's are calibrating just fine, but the other two enter configuration mode.."

Fokko Driesprong replied to Fokko Driesprong's discussion Fast beeping ESC's
"Ok! I have a new frame and radio, just to be sure that these two parts are okay.

I have been busy today with a my drone but it doesn't seem to work. When I compile using the default PWM settings my ESC's keep beeping as posted earlier. I tried with…"

Fokko Driesprong commented on Max Levine's blog post 9x radio 'mod' list
"Looking forward to the new board. My board is fried because wrong input voltage. The regulators were burned because of the high voltage drop when supplied from a 3S LIPO. Tried to upgrade the power supply but ended up frying my board because of bad…"

Fokko Driesprong commented on Joel's blog post Dutch engineer is the first man in history to fly like a bird with self- built wings
"This evening the creator revealed this evening in a Dutch talkshow that his flying machine is powered by a motor. This means it is all hoax. According to citics it is impossible to achieve flying without any mechanical help. They claim that the…"

Fokko Driesprong replied to Fokko Driesprong's discussion Arducopter is doing weird things
"I have found it! I was confused about the configuration and calibration of the ESC. I have calibrated all the ESC's again and corrected the radio. Everything works quite well now! When I give moderate trottle, I can hold the Arducopter with one…"

Fokko Driesprong replied to Fokko Driesprong's discussion Arducopter is doing weird things
"I have some progress. One of the switches was in the wrong position at the Arduino, I fixed this. Also the RX was wrong connected; when I increased trottle, I also altered the roll. Quite strange. I rewired the RX to the Arduino and it is ok now, I…"

Fokko Driesprong replied to Fokko Driesprong's discussion Arducopter is doing weird things
"I have checked the cables, they are connected correctly to the APM. I have done some calibration for the ESC with its card. It are Turnigy Trust 45a.
 
The problem it that, no matter I go left or right on the controll, the left engine is spinning up."

Fokko Driesprong commented on AVS's blog post Visual Studio 2010 Professional Free Offer
"Love this IDE, in my opinion it is one of the best available for C# and VB.Net tough. However there is a good extension for PHP."

Fokko Driesprong replied to Jason Short's discussion Arducopter 2.0.48/49
"When I use .49 just one ESC gets initialized. When I loaded .47 all of them worked properly. Any idea what might cause this?
 
Furthermore, keep up the good work! :)"

Fokko Driesprong commented on Russell B. Sutton's blog post Compacted ESC's
"Dionh. That is true, didn't thought about that. Maybe a sort of modular design will solve that problem. There is no doubt in my mind that the design of the DIYDrones team will be great!"

"Dionh. This is also possible with regular ESC's isn't it?"

"Great! Looking forward! :-) Looks like there is no UBEC on the board. Nevertheless single LMZ14203 can do the UBEC job :-)"

Fokko Driesprong commented on Russell B. Sutton's blog post Compacted ESC's
"Please Chris, update us! Tease us with some pictures or something. I was also thinking about one board with four ESC's. Three out of four UBEC's are not used in the current situation."
