Hi,
I am building a quad with a pixhawk fc. Pixhawk does not support normal PWM receiver inputs. Therefore I need to get a PPMsum compatible FrSky receiver.
The last X8R frsky receiver does not support PPMsum.
So my question: which frsky 8 ch receiver h

I installed an Attopilot 90amps sensor for current and voltage on my Octo.
I then did the mission planner configuration in battery monitor, first trying with the preprogrammed Attopilot 90 option in the sensors drop down list. The calced voltage

I plan to wire my X8 octo so:
As I must use the attopilot sensor (because I exceed the 3DR power module capacity of 90 amps), I am worried that connecting the ground wire of the attopilot module to the APM will create a ground loop with the existin

I've to power APM with 6S batteries. I intend to use the PDB as power source. I must therefore step the voltage down to APM's required level, that is between 4.8V and 5.25V. This range must be kept under load to avoid a brown out.
This is where the

I have a question about powering the APM based on a UBEC (not via 3DR power module):
-JP1 is now off
-Can I then plug a UBEC 5,3V directly on the APM A0-A11 side rail ?
Or do I have to plug on the servo outputs and put JP1 back on ? I try not to

I have been doing quite a bit of analysis for what would be the best tiger motor model/propeller combination for improving my heavy lift octocopter.
I am sharing here an excel analysis sheet I made for that, as it may be useful to share this

I have ordered a replacement 20 ESC to replace a stock 3DR 20 amp (old ones, not SimonK).
Although I ordered online explicitly a 20 Amp 3DR ESC, I received instead a jDrones AC20-2.0 which says on the jdrones web site is running "UltraPWM softw
