    Noob with unresponsive ESC's/motors using WKM

    I built a Hex for the Xaircraft with SuperX using Turnigy Plush. I don't recall all the settings but will dig around. One thing I noticed during ground testing, i.e., MR tied down, was that the motors would spontaneously rev up and down without touching the throttle joystick. I had to...

    Very interesting question!..... my guess is No... but check with DJI support people.....

    Might move back to A2 Firmware version 2.1

    Hard to compare really as the A2 has a built-in RC receiver and larger and more accurate GPS system. If you decide to go or remain with WooKong M stick to firmware version 5.20 and don't be tempted to move beyond that. If you are not working with a PC but an Apple computer you will be quite...

    Might move back to A2 Firmware version 2.1

    But how easy is this to do since the firmware in the attached components also have to be rolled back? Firmware summary: A2 Firmware version: 2.1 Feature enhancements: Enhanced performance of A2 flight control system in data loss situations that are caused by abnormal communications. Optimized...

    Accident with Octocopter

    You are correct! That is a properly designed PDB...... The name of the one that I have is so similar......I thought it was the same one! Mine is the HobbyKing Super Hungry PDB as shown here...

    Finally a fly away for me

    Sorry to hear that..... If you want some help from MRF members as to the root cause, you might want to send us a follow-up c/w as much information as you can provide.

    Accident with Octocopter

    JLO..... Nice Rig there...... I am not up to that weight category but I have some reservations about the Power Hungry PDB which I have examine and modified. IMHO - The aluminum plates with the heat conductive paste is not well engineered since the source of the heat is electrical resistance as...

    Accident with Octocopter

    In general most ESCs over 30 amp use all N-FETs on the output....... but you can likely find that information within the specs from HobbyWing or email for that info.

    Keeping 3S on board for other electronics?

    Pyromed1.... buck converter is a great idea such that you have fewer batteries to manage and these are less dead weight to carry aloft. With respect to the stick on LED strips please keep in mind, if your MR is made of carbon fiber which is electrically conductive, the sticky side of LED strips...

    Yaw Axis with Alexmos 32bit 3 Axis BGC

    Thanks Kloner..... yes I did. There are also some who suggested I make sure that the middle of the three wires at the motor end becomes the middle of the three wires at the BGC end. I will check that out as well then double check the yaw motor direction again. And there are some claiming that...

    Can I get a little help here! NEED some email sent from professionals..

    All people are super sensitive and become defensive very quickly if confronted about a personal flaw or poor decision, which is one reason why it is so important to develop a positive relationship first. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still! Dale Carnegie's book "How to...

    Yaw Axis with Alexmos 32bit 3 Axis BGC

    Testing the new 32 bit 3-axis Alexmos SimpleBGC on my Cinestar with the tripod landing gear/yaw motor cage and a GoPro3+. Normal configuration "heading" mode seems to work really well.... but I am having issues with the "Follow Mode" for Yaw. Brushless Gimbal is the extremely light RCTimer 2...

    A2 Dilemma

    Evidence of a great separation between society and technology started a very long time ago ref: the Luddites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite Unfortunately not all were hung such that many work today amongst us but in non-technical areas such as media, politics etc. where, all too often it...

    A2 Dilemma

    Most GPS receivers are able to complete their software handshaking to the attached smart device by means of an NMEA driver. In the case of DJI GPS modules it also has to be able to communicate thru CanBus communication protocol. So there is a bit more happening behind the scenes at one but most...

    Accident with Octocopter

    Re: Which ESC is best...... That depends mostly on the motors you are using and there are many that are good although I have heard that those with Simon K firmware still have some compatibility problems with the newer pancake style motors. In any case both the current and the voltage...

    Accident with Octocopter

    First.... very sorry that you had a crash. fgomezd, provides the type of information that should be reported with all crashes. In this case there is no evidence that the DJI A2 was at fault IMHO. I agree with Lanzar re: ESC settings and battery type selected in ESCs should be Nixx not...
