Haha yeah Lily doesn't look like it has very much beyond follow me... You could always try and implement something like you are talking about yourself;)

I think you might be talking about Lily, the one that you hold a little tracker and it follows you... I don't think you can manually control it though.

Or I'll waste a good week and ruin my quad in the process;)

Haha I know that this is not really a practical idea. I just want to do it as a project and maybe it'll actually be useful maybe it won't...

Can I run OpenTX if I am just using the Tx module?

After doing further research, I figured out that I can use a Tx module from Turnigy and attach it to an Arduino. The problem I am having is I'm not sure what form data is sent(how I would fabricate the code sent from the actual Tx). I sent an email to Turnigy but I am still waiting for a...

So I have a new project idea: creating a voice controlled transmitter for a gimbal. I know it may not be the best idea in practice, but I kinda just want to do it as a project. I was thinking of using an Arduino or Raspberry Pi to do the processing, the problem I am having is how to send that...

So I have the Quanum Q-3D gimbal, and it is great, but the problem is that I cannot control yaw from my Tx. Could I go ahead and switch out the controller to one that allows this? Would that work?

So I think it is an ESC. They are Mystery 30A ESCs. I am running off a 3S 5500 LiPo. I just tried turning it on and one motor didn't even move. The ESC was also struggling to beep. It was really odd, the ESC would beep at different lengths in no pattern. It seemed to beep more often when I moved...

So I think it might have to do with one of my motors failing. Every single time it drops off to one side(which makes me think that one of the motors/ESCs are faulty). There isn't much more to describe, unfortunately. I was flying, the quad dropped to one side, and it could not recover. I did...

So this quad has been quite a bit of trouble to me, but I am figuring it out. 3 times in the 4 days, I was flying it and it just drops out of mid-air. The first time it just broke an arm, but I fixed it. Yesterday it got stuck in a tree, but I resoldered and ESC and fixed it. Today it dropped...

Bump

Anyone?

So I have a nice quad that I built, and it works great. The one thing I would like to do is be able to use pitch and yaw from the knobs on the Turnigy 9x. The Q-3D has 3 servo leads for pitch roll and yaw, and I have 3 open channels on my receiver. I was just wondering how I could configure it.

I was just wondering how gimbal motors can stay firmly in place, but also can move if need be. Is this soley programming, or also the hardware? I would love this info for a future project...
