    ArduPilot APM 2.5 FC on Droidworx

    I, too, have faith in the Ardupilot 2.5 hardware, and I am coming from having piloted a plethora of machines using a large variety of leading flight controllers available, from DJI, Microcopter, Autoquad 6, OpenPilot Revolution, to Paris and such DIY Arduino boards all the way to ZeroUAV, etc...

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Anyone using APM 2.5 for aerial filming?

    I believe 2.5 and 2.0 have negligible performance difference. @RotorJockey -- check your PMs, I sent you a longer, more detailed explanation.

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Anyone using APM 2.5 for aerial filming?

    Haha...that will mark a major evolution in Arducopter configuration; the day it is simply press a button and everything is optimally configured. An interesting note on this subject is that I have recently been experimenting (rather in-depth, as I have configured a Bluetooth->3DRadio adapter...

    Cinestar 8 brushless conversion :)

    Very interesting, indeed. I, too, am wondering which parts were necessary to custom-fabricate as I, too, have a CS3X Gimbal and a set of Radians that I'd love to retire in place of something much better, if that exists and is doable. Thanks, and great job here! update: Just looked at the...

    LED controller, jdrones ioBoard hack

    Btw, I have two of these jdrones ioboards, and have yet to ever get either working even in their intended usage. I first bought one when they were initially released and, while loading firmware to the board using its provided software utility, somehow I lost the ability to connect with the...

    Bracing the booms

    I've long wondered this myself, ever since seeing a kopterworx build that employed what appeared to be similar to the copters in the pics you posted above. Love to hear what you find from posting this thread. :nevreness:

    This is not a mosquito! Amazing, please read (particularly the last line)!!

    This is a cut-n-paste from an email i received from a lawyer friend of mine this morning that I thought many of you would find of interest: p.s. sorry i couldn't figure out a way to have the inline image appear larger :upset: --------- Can you believe this????! That is really scary! But...

    Kopterworx fire

    Was away for some time but just came back to see this news had come and gone. Sorry that you guys had to del with suh a disaster, and t the same time, relieved that it didn't turn out as badly as it could have (if the LiPos had joined the fire). Wishing you guys all the best. As for everyone...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib V2 Battery Options

    Without nitpicking any other portion of your analogy above, I can tell you that you MUST take into consideration the weight of the extra battery since if it was weightless than you should disconnect the battery and send it to me right away, along with any spare batteries of the same kind...

    Asctec

    I must admit, Ascending Technologies was one of the very first AIO marketed "pro" rigs I ever tried to get pricing on, but then after speaking with a representative in Germany (if I remember correctly), I was quick to dismiss them as a serious option due to the insanely high pricing of their...

    2 Free fly servos, One POT

    Are these the servos used as the pan servo for the Cinestar 3-axis gimbal? If so, I will take them off of your hands as I suspect something may be wrong with the one I currently have mounted in that position. I suppose that means the servo must be the 360° variant. Thanks very much. Jonathan

    Mikrokopter Is mikrokopter finished??

    Just noticing that no-one has made mention of the Herkules III boards for heavy lift necessity in conjunction with MK boards?

    Orbit 15-20 and prop adapters?

    This is merely an educated guess from memory (as I had been in possession of those prop adapters just prior to being warned away from them, as above, months ago), but I seem to recall that certain props have a root depth that do not equal the length of the non-threaded portion where the prop...

    Licenses to shoot commercial AP and AV in the US?

    This has been discussed to death with no real satisfying ultimate answer, but the bottom line, as I see it, is that without being able to get legitimate insurance for the instance where someone or property gets damaged seriously and/or injured as a result of the many possible failures and/or...

    YS-X6 ESC Advice

    Join the club with +10 CC Ice ESCs that turned out refuse to operate in a friendly manner with the YS-X6. Pretty unhappy about the situation but oh well, I guess. MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

    Heavy lift 11kg!!

    Would you care to post any details for a proper analysis? Motors, arm length and composition, I think I can see the props, but not 100%, battery type, poer distribution solution, esc size and type(custom or std.)? Based purely on what I can see, I'd have to mention the first couple things that...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx DroidWorx Completed Builds

    I feel retarded for asking because I've basically got it built in about 30 minutes, bust just want to verify my assumptions regarding the build manual, if one exists, detailing construction of the baby version -- I mean mini-6 by Droidworx. Looks very cool for just a toy, but it seem as though...
