    Sorry, been outta the loop for a while due to recent hospitalization, but out now and feeling up to giving this darn thing another go. I'll post back if any of your suggestions worked out. Much appreciated, and sorry for the delayed responses.

    Herkules IV arrived at Kopterworx.

    Thank you all very much for the kind wishes. As my state's former governor so ridiculously put it, "I'll be back!"...and I will.

    Herkules IV arrived at Kopterworx.

    I, too, have one mounted on a SkyJib 8. My current test configuration is running with Kopterworx KW8 motors and Xoar 15x5 props using both 5S and 6S. Unfortunately, I am hospitalized currently for a broken ankle that was accompanied by a pretty bad infection surrounding the area of the skin...

    Found My Distro Board Finally... Powerhungrysystems.com

    Totally, I encountered the same issue when soldering up 8 CC 75A ESC leads to each of two solid copper loops I made from equivalent of 8AWG solid copper wire. It absolutely tests both your soldering skills as well as your equipment's temperature range holding capability. I had the knob turned...

    WKM Sudden Woes

    Hello all, Recently, I acquired a YS-X6 and so decided to overhaul a working Droidworx AD6-HL Mikrokopter rig to instead have Castle Creations ESCs nd the YS-X6 FC, but to my dismay I learned the difficult way that incredibly the ZeroUAV system is not currently compatible with the CC ESCs!! I...

    8 brand new Castle Phoenix Ice 50 esc for sale

    Still available? Willing to work on prices possibly a trade if there's anything you need? I've got at least one of every single flight control system that I've ever come across. Many (like my two autoquad 6 boards) have never once been further than my workbench, but not ever flown! Just a...

    Zero UAV Zero UAV YS-X6 [Owners Thread] *Autopilot system for multirotors*

    Anyone able to tell me how to get this YS-X6 to work with Castle Creations Ice ESCs? Everything else is working except for one crucial element: can't get motors to arm successfully. Pissing me off very much. Thanks in advance!

    Cinestar 6 + YS-X6 flight controller

    Damnit...how's about any potential compatibility with herkules boards?? If that's not an option, why would be the absolute premium ESC for use with the YS? Note: the really weird thing is that the first few times I powered the system up, a few of the motors did arm, depending on the travel...

    Cinestar 6 + YS-X6 flight controller

    Regarding castle ESCs and YS-x6 : I am having trouble with the combination. it's actually got me pretty pissed off at the moment. I have everything installed properly, evidenced by the ground station responding as it should with all channels calibrated. The only thing I can't get to work I the...

    I just don't get the whole battery thing...why can't you use all the available power?

    There is a lot of wisdom being shared regarding liposuction here, so I thought I'd add a bit of info that is good to know, if you don't already. One is to heed a previous poster's advice about watching a couple vids on YouTube on Lipo fires. Listen to the sound they make right before they...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx DroidWorx Completed Builds

    Anyone happen to have ions of the plastic fittings that secure one of the crash cage 'legs' to the frame? It sorta looks like half of an H but imagine the horizontal line being 50% longer past the vertical line at each end: . | . | -------- Im not sure how I managed to misplace one of the...

    Skyjib 8 Heavy Lifter Build

    Hey guys, I am trying to figure out which motors will maximize on the potential of the new Herkules III esc boards I am trying to test. I unfortunately have already ruled out the Orbitb 20-18's (bummer since I am stuck with over a dozen of them now with no way to utilize them as of yet), but I...

    Herkules IV arrived at Kopterworx.

    Just wondering if anyone who's also beta testing these fine new boards can lend me a bit of insight as to what the differences are, in the latest firmware's folder structure, between the i2c_int0/i2c_int1 and similarly ppm_int0/ppm_int1. The structure is clear thereafter in that the folder...
