It's been a long time since I've had to deal with R/C and a lot has changed in radios. I bought a pixhawk kit with a PPM encoder and a radio with the flysky fs-x8b reciever. What I'm struggling with, is connecting the flysky reciever to pix
Do you have any experience with these lipo batteries? I run a 7.2 NiMH battery, is it possible to run these 2s lipo and more (Ovonic Rebel)? I've read that certain battery combinations can heat up the motor and ESC, but don't know which one is the be
Agricultural drones have gone from being questioned by the market to being actively promoted by the government, from tens of thousands to thousands of dollars. Behind this is the rise of technology in the entire industry.
I am building a quadcopter from some parts that were donated to me and I am unsure of how exactly to connect the power distribution board, esbs and flight controller. This is my second build and a lot more complex than my first. I was hoping I could
Does anybody know if you no longer need a teensy board? I still have an older version of 'plane' on my pixhawk. I had to get a new Taranis plus my old one broke. Just trying to set up the telenetry again. The new / used X9D radio had newer FW on it s
I've just signed up in the forum in the hope that someone will assist me with looking at the datalog of my last fatal flight! my quad has been flying nicely for a while now. I recently upgraded to 3.1 RC5, the first few flights seems rock solid, bu
My name is Jason Farnam. I am a fourth year mechanical engineering student from UC Santa Barbara. Our senior capstone project is to make a drone that can remotely cut a branch and bring it back to the user.
Some types of aerostructures are not RF transparent at 2.4GHz, and some aircraft designs use internal RF shielding. Both types require externally mounted RC antennas. We are fabricating an aircraft using carbon fiber aerostructures that are not RF tr
Hey! Friends, I found several charts about brushless motors (Brushless Motor Chart), which explain the relationship between motor size, voltage, and speed very well. Honestly, this knowledge is very helpful for beginners. Saving these charts will sav
Im going to some university work to show, some automation thing for my class. And I will talk about UAV. I have some question, Can I talk about fly by wire system? The fly by wire system airplane is the similar in the UAV? And somebody have a g
For an engineering project for high school, I have chosen to build an automated delivery drone, capable of carrying 1 kg of cargo, in addition to the dropping system we are going to build.
I need help optimizing this build for flight time, flight ran
I am building my first 5" camera drone. I need suggestions on a suitable Flight Control Stack and quad ESC with at least 45 amps. I don't want a bare bones controller but one that has lots of room to grow with new features. I will be using BetaFlight
Road to Drone Autonomy Series is a 3-part series where we feature Drone Solution Providers (DSPs) from three different geographies from the European subcontinent to highlight the experiences and journey to adopting autonomous drone operations f
