    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    Here she is. Now, I just need to get the Tx to talk to the bird. Anyone have a DX8? Stick movements were showing up in MK Tool but I'm not sure if it's all set right because I couldn't do the calibrations.

    :D ok...this is embarrassing but I will tell you anyways...I didn't have the molex connected. All systems go!

    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    I did write the changes (though it took me a few bangs of my head against the desk...nothing intuitive here) but the error still occurs. Stick inputs seem to be working though I didn't really check them all...just gas. What could the steady led's mean? The manual says that is when the Rx isn't...

    MK Tool is working! I just didn't put the right driver in or ?? anyways, I uninstalled then re-installed the driver and it worked fine. How about some plugnplay here...it's 2011! Okay so after getting that sorted, I plug in my MK and in the centre panel it says Setting 3 Quadro and Missing...

    3D printers and Multi Rotor

    I think there are great potential uses for 3D printers in building and maintaining our crafts. Does anyone have one? What are you using it for? From custom parts to replacement parts, I think at some point a 3D printer will be essential for the DIY hobbyist. Any thoughts on this?

    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    Thanks a lot for replying to me, Crash. I am indeed on XP. It's the last windows I've used so I'm fairly familiar with it. I'm not sure I installed the right driver in the right place!?! I don't have the option to 'safely remove hardware' anymore. Is there any other way to find out which port is...

    Thanks, Kirk, but I think I need more clear instructions. What is the correct com port? I just picked up this XP netbook specifically for mk-tools but I'm usually a Mac user.

    I did see that, thanks, Dave. So I've put her all together! almost...still need to put the props on. I had to trim back the LEDs to fit the landing gear. It's funny how many times you have to go back and redo things. The problem I am having now is when I open MK Tool I get this error...

    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    Postal workers are back at it and I finally got package #2 which had the receiver, binder and some FPV stuff (still waiting for the T1000 Telemetry module). My question is (because I haven't found any clear instructions on this and I don't quite understand the science yet): Where do I...

    The Land or the World? I guess the World is closer to NJ. I'm a left coaster so I've only been to Disneyland. I guess you wouldn't be able to drive to California in 2 days...or could you?

    Not exactly a multi-rotor build

    Looks great! I love all the multi-rotor branding :)

    Tau Labs ppssst....there are a few more left.

    I'm sure this is a dumb question but will this work with a mikrokopter Power Board? Is it comparable to MK Flight Control but at a much lower price?

    My Spektrum kit was supposed to have the RX, binder and telemetry stuff in the box but it had none of it so I have to wait :( Vancouver seems to have not taken kindly to losing against the Bruins...however, I think there would have been a riot win or lose. Some people were there to start...

    My Newb Okto2 Build Thread

    I did tin them but you are right, one of them has a lot of copper showing in the pic. The picture was taken in the middle of fixing the solders and adding heat shrink to them. The one's you are looking at are pre-fix. Now just waiting by the mailbox for the Rx that was missing from my...

    Major triumph today after witnessing the immense jackassness of our fair city's poor sportsmanship yesterday (we had a riot). Anyways...finished up my main soldering Smoke test...it's all good! I used the 9v with the dean at first but it didn't have enough juice so I used my...
