Hi people, I am trying to connect a Beaglebone black with pixhawk using serial 5 port to send MAVlink messages from Beaglebone black for offboard control. I am using FTDI cable from Beaglebone and want to connect it to serial 5 port using DF13 connector according to the wiring shown in...

Hi guys, I am building a hexacopter with following build: 1. DJI F550 Frame 2. 15 A opto E300 ESC 3. 920 kv DJI motor 4. Pixhawk FC I flashed Hexa-x firmware into my pixhawk via APM panner. And connected all ESC's to AUX output (tried with main outputs too) of Pixhawk according to the motor...

So your advice would be to use normal 3dr power module with max 90 A draw ?? My hex will not go beyond 90 A at any point right ??

The frame weight is 478 g and according to my rough estimate it is going to be around 2000 g with the battery included. My motor has 1200 g thrust each.

I am using dji 920kv motor, 8*4.5 props, 5500 mAh 35 c 4S lipo. My agenda is to make it fly with Pixhawk and mission planner and get to know it better and then integrate it with beaglebone to create autonomous system as this is for an academic project. And I am an amateur in Rc flying. I know...

So you recommend 30 A opto esc for the hex?? Is it going to be a big problem as my objective is to integrate hex with beaglebone black and create Linux based autopilot. I can't afford any silly mistake :(

Thanks a lot mate! My amp draw might hang somewhere around 100 amps max according to my calculation. I will try to build my own circuit to power the hex with pihawk. Also trying to find someone who is using similar configuration! Thanks once again!

Hi people, Im in the process of building my first hexacopter DJI F550 with pixhawk flight controller. I am using 15 A ESC's. So my hexacopter will draw 6*15 = 90 Amps all time. And someties it can go more than that. The 3Dr power module can withstand only upto 90 A max. So it is not a good...

Thanks bud! So I can use the ESCs that I have then. And I decided to go with 4S 5000mAh 40C battery and its amperage is 200 A. So it should be enough for my hexacopter I guess. Also I have a doubt on total amperes that will be drawn from the battery by the hex. Will it be only 6*15=90 A...

Thanks everyone for your wonderful replies and time. I am an amateur in Rc flying and this is for an academic project. So no problem of the money here[emoji6]. All your replies helped me a lot. so I planned to just start with plain hex without any system on it and get used to it. everyday I...

Hi people! I am completely new to the multirotor world and I am assembling my first hexacopter now! And it goes like this. 1.Frame - Flame wheel f550 2.Flight controller- Pixhawk 3.ESC - 15A OPTO ESCs 4.Motor- 920kv I am planning to have a GPS, IMU, camera and and some sonar sensors installed...
