Building Possibly My Last Multicopter
I left the hobby in 2022 after the crash of my Tarot Ironman due to a propeller blade separation resulting in complete destruction of the aircraft. Since then I have been flying an old DJI MAvic Pro that I bought used from a photographer who wanted to upgrade. Anyway, recently l've thought about wanting to build one more multicopter. I enjoyed the challenges of building one plus the satisfaction of flying something I built. So I decided to once again embark on a build project. My needs…

Is the PID setup still the same with the PID in this link http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/TradHeli_Testing ?
I do believe that I have found the problem. The good ESC starts to rotate at 1050us and the others start at about 930us. I don't know how that happened as they were all the same. The problem is that they don't want to program since I cleaned them with contact LR!!!!
I have it working better now. But only motor (No.3) is responding as it should. I guess it is a calibrations issue then?

Thanks for that, Yes I did calibrate both, but I do have a question about the 4 small switches next to the CLI switch. Is this function still used in the latest code?
Also on another point. I have a blue board that has damage to the USB socket. Is it still possible to load code through the xbee telemetry?
Denny did you calibrate your ESCs and Radio? And or are you in flight or CLI mode (that small white switch on top of blue board). It sounds like your ESCs are not calibrated yet for your radio. Also if you have constantly solid green immediately after reboot, you are in flight mode.
Chris I just installed a new sensor board and everything seems perfect but it won't arm and I get motors doing a regular sound about twice per second. The radio inputs and the outputs along with the sensor outputs are all showing up in the flight data panel. Cables are good. and motor calib. has been done manually. I have the regular blue light flashing on the lower board plus a steady green on the top?
hey guys i want to reverse camera stablization
i have place RC_CP_rev to -1 and it doesnt work anyone else got any ideas
Chris,
Thanks for the comment. We will be starting a project on the arducopter at the university where i work. One part of this project is the calculation of the maximum performance we can get out of the arducopter. These calculations will be backed up by measurements. I suppose we could report the results of this study if this helps the community. If there is information available in the form of datasheets of electronic components etc i would highly appreciate this.
with kind regards

Hi everyone,
i am looking for data sheets on the parts of the arducopter so that i can access its potential in terms of accuracy and bandwidth. I can't find any info on the
