Tim Dickinson replied to Grzegorz Radziwiłko's discussion ESC won't calibrate to APM unless the lower throttle is 900.
"Have you tried calibrating the esc without the apm? Grzegorz Radziwiłko said:
I have already reversed it along with pitch i believe."

Tim Dickinson replied to Grzegorz Radziwiłko's discussion ESC won't calibrate to APM unless the lower throttle is 900.

Is it possible to control the progression of a waypoint mission though an RC channel? So the knob at 50% and the quad will fly to 50% mark in the mission?

Tim Dickinson replied to Rhosyn's discussion Low Cost, 3-Axis Gimbal--- Opinions/Experience Needed
"I would go with the Storm32 gimbal. It has nice integration with the pixhawk. If only one of your motors is bad then just replace it and your gimbal will work fine.

Tim Dickinson replied to Jack Wu's discussion Advice Needed for F450 Custom Build

Tim Dickinson replied to sakib sheikh's discussion choosing battery
"No this is wrong. You want the ESC to have a higher rating then the motor not higher then the battery.

If your motor is rated at 45Amps then should should go with a 50/55Amp ESC. You have battery's rated at 400-500Amps and you cant think you need a…"
