In addition, on last week's poll we asked our readers which article would be interesting to have next.  The clear winner was the Multicopter article, so be sure to check it out!

If you find the information on this site useful, you can show your support by sharing it using the sidebar buttons on the main page.

Stay tuned, we'll continue adding new articles periodically.  Announcements will be made on blog posts like this, and through Facebook, Twitter, and RSS.  Contact us if you have any comments or questions, or if there is content you’d like to see in the future.


Until next time,

It has been little over a week since we opened the Guide and the response from the DIY Drones community has been very positive, thank you all!

Based on the feedback, this is the content we have added for this week:

PID Controllers Demystified:  What is a PID controller?  How do PID controllers work?  How does each tuning constant affect the response?  How can I practice PID tuning?

Understanding Transmitters:  What types of transmitters are there?  What does each transmitter setting do?  Which are the most popular transmitters on the market and how do they compare?

Plus, we have created a poll where you can vote for future articles.


Stay tuned, we'll continue adding new articles periodically.  Announcements will be made on blog posts like this, and through Facebook, Twitter, and RSS.

Contact us if you have any comments or questions, or if there is content you’d like to see in the future.  And if you find the information useful, please spread the word!

Until next time,

Announcing The UAV Guide

3689587918?profile=original

DIY Drones community,

We are proud to announce the launch of The UAV Guide, a centralized source of information about personal, recreational and commercial UAVs.  We aim to provide organized, easy to find practical information to help you quickly advance your knowledge about UAVs.  Here's a look at some of our first pages:

UAV Selection – How do you select which UAV to buy?  Which are the most popular UAV systems and how do they compare?

Brushless Electric Motors – How do brushless motors behave?  How can I calculate motor efficiency?  What resources are out there to help me select the best motor for my UAV?

Propellers – How do propellers behave aerodynamically?  Where can I find propeller experimental data?

First Person View (FPV) – What are the main components of an FPV system and how do I connect them?

Propulsion – What are the advantages of an electric UAV versus a gas UAV?  How do I wire up my electric propulsion system?

Be sure to visit back often, as we will be adding new content periodically.  We will announce new content through blog posts in DIY Drones, and through our Facebook page and RSS feeds.  If you have any comments or questions, or if there is content you’d like to see in the future, please contact us.

 

Enjoy!

-The UAV Guide Team
