This is the new folding frame Project I am working on.

Can anyone tell me if it´s possible to control the eight counter rotating motors with ACM.

    NICE render, love SolidWorks .. You should ask Jason for 8X frame support :) There is many free out-put pins left on the APM, so may be you can use some, I guess...

    When you will have it ready for a spin ??

    And can you share more info on that frame ???

     

    IINM  ArduPirates code use I2C ESC for OCTO frame.

    I think eight is supported by the ArduPirates code.

     

    ACM will start with quad and tri support

    @ Ike: The developmet is made with SolidWorks.

     

    This was also my first thought but of the coax config I will los the Yaw effect.

    If you are runnint 8 motors in a standard coaxial configuration you should be able to run it using y leads to split 4 channels into 8.

    In a coax config, two motors receive exactly the same signal.
