    Aeronavics / Droidworx AD8 HL & 360 gimbal

    Had to move my test date to next week due to weather conditions. :upset: My 360 kit is the newest version. I've only had it for around a month. It has the thrust bearing and all of the grommets are new. The kit isn't defective. The play is due to the fact that the frame is attached to the 360...

    Spooky future of Multirotors.....???

    You can buy the kits for building the a-pod and many of his other multi-limbed bots. They're amazing. For quite some time now I've wanted to build the A-pod and craft some form of fold out (insect wing style) quad onto its back. I will be doing this after Christmas hopefully. Should be an...

    Thanks Droidworx :tennis: Love the AD8 so far, it's a beautiful beast and always attracts attention. She's going through her BNUC-S flight exam in the next few days too!

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AD8 HL & 360 gimbal

    I've noticed that the joint that connects the av200 360 mount to my AD8 is quite wobbly/fragile. This is fine, as I'm careful with it....but I can't turn up my RSGS gimbal stabilisation gains due to this. I can set my roll gains on the RSGS to 600 on the bench and have no oscillations even...

    If your not able to hit the higher gains without oscillation try manually tuning the servo centres and then running auto tune. Doing this on the last few firmwares allowed me to run gains in the 6-700 range. If I manually tuned only, I couldn't run above 2-300

    AV200 + 360 battery tray - help needed

    The bit along the bottom with the holes is approx 23.6cm in length and 1.8cm in height on mine. May be slightly off as I couldn't get the ruler right up to it. Hope that helps Alex

    WKM 5.14a Problems?

    If your flying an octo you should be using 5.12a. 5.12a was only released to fix a problem on 5.12 for octocopters where motors 7 and 8 would cut out whilst in flight

    Why doesn't the math for prop size and cell count match add up in Ecalc

    I know a lot of people would be happy with those motors & set up if they were using it for AP as its rare that you ever use full throttle. I personally would prefer to find a motor that will produce similar endurance and cope with the stresses of running it flat out. You never know when you are...

    Why doesn't the math for prop size and cell count match add up in Ecalc

    You'll only ever be drawing that 24A at max throttle. At hover your drawing 8.78. So you'd be fine flying about normally, but would stress your motors if you had to use max throttle to get out of a sticky situation. Also your IR is wrong. 0.063 rather than 0.036. Where did you get your 1A @ 10v?

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    The pan stabilisation causing frames to spin before take-off with landing gear mounted gimbals seems like a major problem. Especially when you consider that the 360 kit you sell is landing gear mounted. Orientation problems before even lifting off is the last thing we need. You seem to be...

    I had to use the sub trims on my tx to stop the drift. It doesn't happen if the RX isn't connected

    Nope. Common ground just means that all negative (Black/Ground) wires from each supply connect at some point within the circuit. I'm using one pack to power my servos, RSGS and RX. My RX for gimbal control is powered by the RSGS wires connected to it

    Does anybody know whether there is going to be slew and softening on the pan axis?

    Do the pots have to be reinstalled for 1.2.0? Or is it still a pot free controller?

    Is this UK F550 deal any good? Would appreciate the benefit of your experience..

    I agree that Geoff is a good guy to speak to. Alex at UAVshop also knows his stuff and has excellent service. Can't go wrong with either

    Well done Kim. You admitted the skyline was flawed and released too early, but have/are doing your very best to fix the mistakes you made and make your customers happy. I'm glad I have stuck with the skyline and commend your dedication to fixing the issues.

    Nex5n triggering panoramic shots

    I'm currently triggering my nex using a gentled. This gives me the ability to take photos and video, but it will not trigger photos when the camera is in the panoramic mode. Have any of you guys figured out a way of getting this to work without mechanical triggering or hacking the switch?
