"I tried to program the mixes on my DX6i to control the motors using differential steering, but it seems that either can't be done on a DX6i or it's beyond my ability.
I ended up not using Rover, but sticking an arduino between the receiver and the…"

"Hmm... that's not good. I'm trying to find a similar solution as the OP - I'm also trying to use aircraft ESCs.
Does that mean that when I've just armed, and my throttle is at 0, Rover thinks I'm in full reverse?
Is this also why when I first turn…"

"Gordon,
I'm trying to do a similar thing (airboat with differential steering), and I've observed the same behaviour (one motor responds as expected to throttle; the other seems to have an offset where the input needs to be quite high before it…"

"That works well. Thanks David.
My completely non-scientific estimate of lag with this solution is that it's just over 100ms, which is as good as it is on my laptop with the EasyCap.
I have a Moto X running KitKat, an EasyCap based on the stk1160…"

"Hi Felipe,
I also had this problem, about 3 weeks ago. My battery gave out during RTL while the Y6 was still about 20m off the ground. It came down hard and snapped all 3 legs. They all snapped at exactly the same place your leg did. Like Craig, I…"

"Hi Michael,
Do you have an idea of when grid functionality will be available in APM Planner?
Thanks."

"Glad it helped.
Better error messages from that application would be very helpful indeed. Thanks for contacting them.
Nick"

"Good question. I'm more the DIY type, and I'm still trying to DIM, as we all are on this thread. But for someone who has bought an RTF Y6 for somewhere between $1k and $2k, going from ~13min to over 20 significantly increases the value of the…"

"DG, I've not tried with the + plates that came with the motors, but it looks like it would be an improvement. Thanks for sharing this, I will give this a try when I'm able to fly next."

"I was thinking conduction rather than convection as well. A metal plate with just a touch of heat sink compound would probably pull a lot of heat into the metal arms.
The frame of this thing is like a giant heat sink separated from an overheating…"

"That's funny, I would say the only thing missing from Drift mode is altitude control, so I'm looking very forward to PosHold as is. :)
I'm on APM, so I appreciate the concern for supporting the older hardware, for a while at least. At the same time,…"

"I'm interested in some plates as well! I'd prefer the 6-sided Y6B mounting plates to the circular ones, but either one works, I suppose."

"Pretty smooth video considering you've mounted the camera directly to the frame!"

"It will be a simple Arduino + Motor Shield + USB host adapter + bluetooth dongle at first. Two 12V DC motors, a 3S battery, and skid steering. A stepper motor for the dump actuator. PS3 controller to drive. I'm going to use a spare video TX kit to…"
