Any PWM standard ESC will work in terms of controlling the motors. HOWEVER, some ESC respond faster than others. As an example, Castle Creations older than 4.01 firmware was designed for aircraft and Helis and they do a lot of signal checking and averaging (as well as throttle curve...

Jack- First, if your camera is fixed mounted to your craft then the flight controller makes a big difference. We have spent countless hours coding and flying to provide the smoothest flight motion possible from a range of craft. It is not difficult to simply change the speed of several motors...

Yes and No. If you maintain the position of the aircraft and the car stays in the same relative position then YES because its bearing would be constant and the HoverflyGIMBAL has magnetic heading lock. However, if the object is moving then the relative bearing would change. Without...

The new HoverflyGIMBAL 3-axis gimbal controller IS NOW SHIPPING. Our gimbal controller will work with any servo controlled gimbal and is independent of the flight controller (of course we think you should use Hoverfly but.....). The tiny controller uses 8 microcontrollers, 3-axis Gyro...

Here is the second demonstration video for the HoverflyGIMBAL

Actually, the AL, AH, PH, and RTH work very well. If you look on the RCGroups forum where most of our users have been active in the past (I encourage people to come here as well) you will find that issues have been resolved. It is also important to point out that only about 30% of our...

Correction---> The Accel and Temp calibs are done with the PRO and the compass is done with the GPS board.

This is what the OSD looks like generated by the HoverflyPRO

Another big distinction between Hoverfly and everyone else is that we have a customer service staff, professional ticket/issue system and a useful knowledgebase system. People can also call us and get help and even talk to the engineers developing the flight controllers including me the President.

As of right now if you want to fly really big multi-rotors Hoverfly has the capability. Our customers flying Red and bigger are using or PRO because we can use standard Turnigy ESCs whereas MK and DJI are limited. We have worked with several customers that are repeatedly burning out Hercules...

The HoverflyGIMBAL configuration tool can control the roll and tilt advance. These were set rather slow in the first demo video so there is a bit of intentional lag. You will be able to adjust it to your desired lead or lag. We will have another video out shortly.

The USB cable should be connected to the PRO position 1 when doing all calibrations. Yes I believe you will see PH and RTH checked with the three position switch is moved to RTH.

Yeah I have considered that. Not sure it would yield much more information. I have been considering buying a cheap digital scale and ripping the load cell out of it. BTW - If anyone has a particular ESC they want me to try PM me.

The motor has a reflective set of lines, 16 around the circumference of the motor housing. An IR TX/RX pair senses the change in light amplitude. This value is then thresholded in analog to a nice clean square wave. The microprocessor then measures time delay between rising pulses. The...

This is re-posted from RCgroups. I wanted to share it with you guys as well. I've watched the debate over the "speed" and performance of ESCs here for a while. I also see a great deal of effort being spent re-flashing ESCs to improve factory firmware capabilities. The general consensus has...

I wanted to add a few thoughts on this topic. Professionals I talk to everyday ask me this question, purchase our flight controllers, and make the switch to Hoverfly. The primary reason is that they are tired of dealing with tweaking and just want to get a return on their investment in their...
