I had a couple of requests for a still shot of the 12-rotor beast that Joe and Justin cooked up, so here it is.

This uses Y6 firmware. You have two Y6s on alternating arms.
BUT... How do you control yaw?the signal to both ESC on each arm is the same. So if you command the craft to yaw, both a CW and a CCW motor speeds up or slows down. The net result is an unchanged moment about the z axis, ie. no change in overall torque
Nope, as you see on photo it has 2 ESCs per arm. I think only signal wires from ESCs paralleled.
Yes I would love to know how the motors are controlled?
I cant see how it can be done without 12 separate ESC outputs.
Using the same signal for each coxial motor pair would result in not being able to control YAW.
Is it really just a hexa but using the same signal line for each pair of motors?
Justin, please do :-)
I agree Joshua, our US air carriers solved the food problem a long time ago.
A lot of umph in that. Beast it is. Wow.
Bruno, yes, we always recommend that the APM be mounted as high as possible (ideally on a platform, as shown above), to avoid magnetic interference from the PDB and ESCs.
Think Pbreed got it. Looks very very simple. Pretty good if that works.
