    Mikrokopter Droidworx AD 8 HLE (First Build)

    When you calibrate gyros, how many times the buzzer beeps? I recommend you to use beginner mode. Switch flight mode to beginner (mode 3) by holding left stick upper left while holding right stick upper center. Hold until you hear 3 beeps. You only need do this once to set Kopter to mode 3...

    Mikrokopter Capacitors for MK XL power boards

    Bart, I think the one you linked from Digikey is OK, I tried several caps on one of BLs to see if they're working and they're OK. (as expected :) ) What I'm wondering is: What happens if we use a capacitor rated at 35V or 40V at same capacitance (330uf)? Can the BL output more power for bigger...

    Camera Mount recommedations

    Thank you guys for those great information you gave! I would build my own but I've never seen a camera mount so I need to have one to see the weaknessess so I can build a better one. I think I'm gonna buy something used to save money.

    Mikrokopter Droidworx AD 8 HLE (First Build)

    Dave is right, you need to calibrate your compass. And be sure that your poti switches are at zero positions so they're not activating position hold or come home functions. Here is how to calibrate the compass: http://vimeo.com/21602317

    Time to try a Y6

    Ken, I was thinking mounting motors directly to the arms would generate less vibration than mounting the motors like yours in the pictures? You have adaptor attached to the arm and motor is mounted on that adaptor. Can you give some info about this?

    Hello everyone, I want to be short and clear :) I'm gonna shoot videos with my babies (QuadroXL and AD6-HL) and it's time to pick-up a camera mount. After reading Ken's post about averticalview camera mount, I'm considering it...

    Gonna cry for a week !

    I believe you'll rebuild it soon. I'm sorry you crashed. I had the same nightmare just a week ago. Lots of lessons learned like building your own spare parts is just so much cheaper. If you do so, you'll have more confidence. And thanks to the community here, there's always a solution for the...

    Mikrokopter Prepping a micro SD card

    The limit is 2 GB with NaviCtrl, this means it's using FAT 16 system. I've checked my microSD card, and it's FAT 16.

    New motor from Quadrocopter.us

    I find it overpriced too. I'm gonna order Avroto motors to see their quality against Axi motors. (If montoRC ships them to Turkey ).

    Tau Labs OP CC board and JR/Spektrum radios

    Here what it is said to be: "it is a serial cable utilizing the flex port of CC and allowing you to directly connect your satellite rx to the board solder-less at the same time having the voltage regulated from the 5v to 3v of the cc board."

    MK FPV Heavy-lift X8 using standard ESC's and Futaba TX/RX

    Mactadpole, thanks for sharing your findings. I'm following your topic very closely. One note about the motors: If one of them spins harder than the others (I assume you're controoling it by your hand, not without power), the problem source can be with magnetism. My suggestion would be to power...

    Tau Labs OP CC board and JR/Spektrum radios

    If you're using reciever directly, then you should use PWM firmware. But, you can plug-in the receiver satellite to flex ports directly. If you do so, you should use spektrum or dsm2sat (not sure which one) firmware. (you need a converter though :) )...

    Mikrokopter First big crash and need help for analysing the log

    Thank you very much Dave. I figured out the craft would move forward left if the motor #3 goes down in a hexa setup. Weak solder seems to be the problem considering this finding.

    Dave, they look great. I wonder how you cut them perfectly :) Droidworx's standart gear rail brackets are born to be broken
