    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    I dont know why i bother asking these questions on here. But....does anyone have an idea of why my computer would tell me I have overloaded the usb port? Before connecting the ESC's it seemed to work.

    Ok, this is very weird. Are DJI and Xaircraft the same?

    http://www.xaircraft.org/ I would never have thought to see DJI instructions on their website.

    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    I just got an email from Jim at Monto saying he recommends calibrating the esc's when they are all plugged in at once. The only reason it makes more sense to me to do it individually is that you are giving the full Tx range to the esc. where if you were to calibrate based off the output of the...

    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    thanks. thats what i wanted to hear-again. It's just hard when you do research on the net and all the responses say varying things. But none are specific to XA. One mikrokopter site where a guy uses the I2C says ONLY one ESC power should be used! The arducopter says the same thing and...

    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    I am desperate here. i cant believe no one on here can help me out with this. 2 things i need to know are 1) do I need to calibrate each ESC individually? Or can I connect them all to the FC and do them together? the manual says I need to calibrate each esc once. 2) As my original post...

    Response time ESCs PWM

    I was readin the manual to the Maytech esc's i just bought from MontoRC and they say there are 3 settings for response. One of which is instant. Do most ESC's have this?

    XAircraft Exploding props

    Yeah, this is highly disappointing! I was told that I was only .8% of people who had this problem, as though it wasnt a big deal. Then I was told that the "NEW" improved props arrived only to have another prop fail. At that point a motor locked up on me completely. Jing Chen emailed me and...

    Rendering with Adobe Premier, you've got to be kidding me!

    Maybe it is the type of file conversion. For example, if you tell it to convert avchd to quicktime, there are over 50 different types of quicktime formats. If you export as an apple animation quicktime you are going to be waiting for a while. No way it should take 10 hours though. There are...

    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    Ok. I just tested the live view on the nex5n for myself. It works just fine! hdmi plugged in. You can go into the menu and tell it to not have anything on the menu. i watched the video and it is a clear perfect screen. So now we have to figure out a clever way to downsize the box required...

    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    it seems most people convert using Aunsoft's Mts converter. It works great, just an extra step. Yes the nex 5 was only 1080 60i, the 5n is 1080 60p.

    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    Yeah, it's a pretty damn cool camera. I am much more happy with this than the GH2. Also, for the Mac guys.....it has the option to export in MP4 as to AVCHD. I think technically AVCHD is a better compression but I cant tell the difference. Unless you are doing green screen work or lots of...

    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    ok, how do you disable the BEC on board the ESC's without cutting the cable?

    XAircraft X650 V8 built, now what?

    I dont know why they cant tell you this stuff up front. REALLY annoying! but for people using windows XP you need this special download for the USB to recognize the unit. http://www.xaircraft.com/wiki/Downloads(en) its the very bottom download. USB 1.3

    XAircraft Proper esc configuration using Xaircraft FC

    I made a custom hex. A few of you told me to NOT use all 6 esc's with BEC or odd nasty things will happen. I know Open Pilot wants you to cut all the power cables but 1. This makes sense. But then I talked to Jeff at Xaircraft and he says whatever you do DO NOT cut the power lead from the...

    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    I just got my nex5n today and it is awesome! I have not flown it yet and probably wont for a hwile until i gain more confidence in my new craft. At first i thought the rattling was in the lens and therefore probably part of the stabilization system, but it is definitely in the body. You have...

    Response time ESCs PWM

    I watched a video of their single rotor heli systems in high winds. It was dead stable! So clearly it is possible to have both worlds. What good is a FC if it keeps the craft in one spot but jiggles all over and makes the pilot nervous? There should be a set of macros in the coding that...
