    New Octo, very unstable!

    In my case it was a big fail, my fault. All the rotors turning clockwise were right attached to their respective escs in the herkules board but wrong pluged to the dji. This way a back stick imput increased the front right engine and the next to the right instead of both front motors. The...

    New Octo, very unstable!

    Quite sure you have one or maybe the four escs running the same direction wrong pluged in dji unit. Triple check that. In my case have found that as because I was using the engine position nomeclature oh Hoverfly and all clockwise engines have an offset of one place (1/8turn). The effect was...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Maybe your right but after hearing some of you with issues with FW in atti mode I decided not to make that more complex and go steep by steep. Just loaded no FW on both boards for a test flight tomorrow before lunch. Hope to see some light then.

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Yes, manual only. Have not enough balls to switch to atti mode until manual mode troubles are solved. Have just reprogramed the lower herkules and will start with the upper one. May be there are a fault in the deffault firm like running one with FW and one without it so will load by myself both...

    Im looking fir a female plug to make a new wire with an extension using the three programming wires. In any case does someone suspect there is any kind of trouble running two herkules boards together for an octo ufo? I m suffering very strange behaviour with the default firm (supossed to be...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Looks like I need to reprogram my herkules and test some options but everytime I need to do it I must disassemble the octo. Is there a way to load the firm through the 4 ppm wires plus the ground of the battery or it`s required all ghe wires of the flat cable to do yhat?

    New Octo, very unstable!

    Three flights later: gps antena location changed with no difference in behaviour. Same with the esc wires routing and changing the sign of thz Z axis of both imu and gps location. Tge flight under ground effect is a challenge but once it goes in fresh air is quite flyable. The controls are...

    New Octo, very unstable!

    Any one knows if its possible to fly in manual mode with the gps antenna unpluged, want to test about its possible interference wuth the imu proximity and the best way is not to have it working.

    New Octo, very unstable!

    Your not alone on this war. First flight of my octo with dji + herkules esc. Similar behaviour, increasing the basic gains up to 170 helped me to take off and go away from ground effect. Still unstable compared to the cx4 with the same equipment. First of all I needed to place the power module...

    What you see as surges is a vertical oscilation or all axis lack of stability?

    Hi from Spain

    I think so. It has a closer flight to a heli. The tilt yaw rotor gives a different feeling and a stunning accuray in this axis.

    Me too have had no problems between dji + herkules in a cx4. The only wish is a lower timming firm close to the 3.75° I used with the turnigy plush and an explanation to know if the way dji +herkules work is the reason of higher engine temperatures than the same setup based on turnigy plush.

    19 min flying time with 4s 6600 remaining 950 mah inside after flight. Wkm +herkules+ axi2217/20 and 12x3.8APC. Motor are very hot after 19 min hovering in gps hold. Actualy testing different configurations to get close to 25 min but lower the engine temp. TOW 2200 gr including a 800mah bat for...

    Hi from Spain

    Hi folks. Just arrived to this forum while searching the net looking for info about herkules esc boards. Seem to be here you have a good provision of knowelede guys and that gives a good prespective. About MR I started time ago with a self made tricopter based on st gyros and an AP2000i board...

    WKM Futaba SBUS channel assignment - Still rather clueless

    Sbus from rx to x2 in Dji. Tilt servo fits in F2 output from Dji. Camera roll servo goes to F1 Dji output but requires no control chanel as it stays allways leveled. I use one rotary butons for gain adjust and a three position switch to choose tilt camera position betwee 0°,45° or 90°. Hope...

    Hi Andreas. That is more confused if possible. Can supose 24= 12 , 18=12 and 12 = 18 could be a different nomeclature in use. When AXI manufacturer talks about 24 deg timing advance for his engines it´s refered to the 24 deg you talk that is equal to 6 deg (low) or it´s based on the same...
