    New forum area! 3D Robotics

    Looks to me like Iris is a nice deal. I'm interested in Pixhawk for my next MR and this seems to be a great way to start.

    This 2nd switch does huh?!

    I've watched all of Ali's setup videos (very helpful) and followed along with the RTH setup but it didn't work so I know I'm missing something. Not a big deal, I don't plan to set it up until I'm more comfortable flying it and have all the bugs (is this even possible :nevreness: ) worked out...

    This 2nd switch does huh?!

    Sorry for the Hijack, but how do you do this (RTH on a 2 pos switch) with the Futaba Tx? (mines a T8FG but the T8J programming seems close enough to figure it out) I tried setting up the mix to do it but I'm missing something. For the record I don't intend to enable RTH on a switch right away...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    For my first flight I had mine along the arms also, then I read in the manual to keep the antennas away from ESCs so I did it the way you see in my last pic. I might make something like yours myself, Futaba however says it doesn't matter which plane they're on so long as they're at 90* I just...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    It is the same monitor but mine came as you see it, I didn't have to remove the plastic case. It did however cost 2x as much as yours from Hobby King. I guess I'll buy a couple more from HK and remove the case myself. Still following this to look for ways to improve upon my build. Thanks Bart.

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    I have a small battery monitor also, not sure if it's the one Bart uses or not. Paid $8.00, works for 1s to 8s lipos, has two buzzers, an LED display, shows total voltage, voltage of each cell, the low battery alarm is adjustable and weighs next to nothing. You can see it in the pics below. My...

    Naza V2 layout FW-550

    All built and test flown, going to remove top plate and tidy things up and solder in the wires for the gimbal controller tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Ok so I built my 550 on Christmas day, spent part of the day yesterday setting up the radio and Naza and today saw my first flight. 4 short flights in all. no crashes, need to work on gains I think, setup my Tx so I can adjust pitch, roll and attitude gains on the fly. Increased pitch/roll by...

    Can't Find Naza Instructions! Help!

    Try this link Naza instructions... Sorry I guess this is the quick start guide you found, still pretty helpful. Search Youtube for more info would be my suggestion, lots of good videos. http://download.dji-innovations.com/downloads/nazam-v2/en/NAZA-M_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.22_en.pdf

    Can't Find Naza Instructions! Help!

    First thing to know is what TX you have. I have a Futaba T8FG Super and found a good video on DJI's site that helped me set up mine, (mostly, I still need to figure out how to set a switch for RTH) Just saw it's a T8J, here's the video I used, I'll bet the T8J is similar enough you can figure...

    Naza V2 layout FW-550

    Thanks, I know there's no set ways, just looking for ideas that work well, IE no interference issues etc. Not sure what can be done as far as how close one module can be to another. Can you stack any of them together using velcro etc? Like I said I like neat and I can't find a neat way yet...

    Naza V2 layout FW-550

    A new MR was born yesterday but I'm not happy yet. I'm trying to figure out the best layout/location for all my electronics on a FW-550. Naza V2 with Futaba rx using S-Bus and a Zenmuse control module (going in later). I built my 550 yesterday but I'm not satisfied with the layout and overall...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Not sure what motors Bart will recommend, I just bought Sunnysky V2216-11 900KV for my hex, supposed to be good quality motors and the price was good $23.99 each http://www.banggood.com/Sunnysky-V2216-11-900KV-Outrunner-Brushless-Motor-For-RC-Model-p-78177.html

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Looks nice, I like the LEDs, gonna look into them now. Also like the Batwings, I was thinking of one for the rear and mounting the NAZA LED on it so if faces the rear, figured it would help with orientation but with those LEDs it might not be needed, we'll see. Probably order a couple...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Don't know either but I'm starting mine tonight or tomorrow. Got my lipos last night and that was the last thing I needed. I do have some different motors coming but I'm going to use the stock DJI 2212's first, then swap in the Sunnysky 2216-11 900kv I ordered and see the difference. The gimbal...

    Review of "Build Your Own Drone" and customer service

    I was bitten recently with the bug to jump into this hobby. After hours online looking at various MR kits and combos I finally decided to buy the DJI FW 550 with Naza M v2, DJI landing gear and a Zenmuse H3-2d Gimbal combo that quite a few stores were advertising. The best price I found was at...

    I liked it, what do I know? I loved the buildings with the Graffiti, never been to NYC so I don't know where that was but it was the most interested I've ever been in that city. I see a Disco in my future......
