So, guys, just what advantages do you see the A2 has over the old WKM ? Is it worth the extra cost ? Won't a WKM with the V2 IMU just as good ? andy

Droidworx was too much like Droid Works for George Lucas so the name was changed to Aeronavics to prevent litigation. Good move since Hollywood is one of their major markets and no one want to get on the wrong side of them.

yes all backwards. If you look at the diagram it should the negative value is above cog.. good old china!

It's abit of a 26 minute epic but here is the full video from the North West trip i was involved in. great little crew & locations, just wish it was always like that up there! Lec

Our flight log is an Excel file that is described in our ops manual that was accepted by the CAA. It logs date/time/GPS location/Flight duration and is created from GPS flight telemetry. It has extra fields to show accumulated flight time, aircraft and pilot identification. If the flight had an...

Everything will be OK .... it'll just regenerate .... perhaps looking slightly diifferent !!! Great effort all the same, impressed. andy

thanks Anthem. The full film should be out later this week. Just seen a raw edit & im pretty happy with it. Was a great trip. Lec

If you have the bluetooth led you can use the phone app to calibrate compass. It is in the tools section of the app. If that doesn't allow it to enter the calibration then you may have a faulty unit.

Looks like an interesting step forward but dual systems are not really quite it. A true triplex system with two out of three voting is the ultimate way to do it. I'm sure it will come.

A couple of recent projects we've been involved with... Lec & Andy

Mav... KamKop gimbal... We don't use KamKop's dampers, our gimbal is hung from a std Droidworx quick release system which has dampers (in compression) built in. The KamKops ones were too expensive to even consider and not needed. andy

Mav... The AV130 is basically first generation technology and expectations now exceed its capability. Using the CX740 was our way of overcoming some of the limitations but it still left the roll to sort. I did consider slipping the roll drive cog off the rack to leave it sort of free running...

We've now moved on from the AV130 but keep it ready as a backup. We now have an Alexmos based brushless gimbal by KamKop, which was worth the upgrade. 1- The roll cage is pretty tight up against the rollers to remove any slack. The edges of the cage are aligned in the grooves of the rollers. A...

Sochin33... As far as I can tell the V2 IMU does not need a specific version to operate so should be good at v5.16 and later. Our next step is to replace the existing V1 IMU with a V2 and we'll do that at v5.16 firmware level. rcmike... The causes of firmware/software problems never seem to...

Yeah I had an issue yesterday with IOSDmk2 where it randomly went to the black screen. Probably only happened twice but I will keep an eye on it.

We have had an odd problem with our Coaxial Octo that was only fixed by dropping back from firmware 5.26 to 5.16, losing bluetooth and motor test facilities. If you are on v5.26 then do try dropping back to v5.16 or possibly 5.20 and then perhaps upgrading(??) through to v5.24 to see if the...

We have a Y6 with a DX18 and its been faultless, so is recommended. No experience with Futaba gear so can't comment on that.. You do need the Xplus expansion for all 18 channels otherwise you are limited to 9. We also use the TMS 1000 telemetry module plus altitude and GPS modules so we have...

Sorry we meant firmware version 5.26!

We just had a bad experience with our X8. Switching to Go Home sent the craft into wild tumbling and we were unable to regain control. Luckily the crash landing was in tall grass and the only damage was a broken leg. Droidworx build them tough. Thanks to many responses from forum members and...
