    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    nope octo with s-bus or s-bus adapter you can use f1 f2 m1...m6 for your ESCs and than you use T and R ports on the RX side of the MC to connect your gimbal.

    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    japp thats an option, people have done it that way, their success I havent monitored though ! You have no chance of using futaba. What radio do you have at the moment maybe there is a futuba modul for you radio. S-bus just makes thing when it comes to WKM a lot easier, cleaner and also...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I will choose according to conditions. If no wind at all the 14 x 4 wooden chinese props are okay. If conditions are not perfect I will take the 12 x 3.8 or the next test will be with the 11 x 5 Graupner. But these 12 x 3.8 carbon props only make sense because they are so light 11 grams. The...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Okay just flew it again with the firmware on were FW is on. Everything back to the old status luckily. With the FW off the Lipo puffed slightly up 35 - 70 c 5s and the flight time was very short and the motors got warm which they never did before (with the before mentioned akward wobbling and...

    If you dont use S-bus as a receiver than you sacrifice the gimbal stabi from the WKM in case of an Octo. You could also use a S-Bus converter with a normal Receiver to keep the two ports on the MC free that you need for cam stabi.

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    I cant yet and i wont until i didn't have my bird flying in the garden tomorrow thats only fair. I personally don't think that its a Herkules issue, if than only a FW off firmware issue. There are 30 40 different firmware files for FW on off deg 12 18 24 etc I2C adress is might have caught one...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    okay reflashed everything to FW 1 again lets see how he behaves. Was a strange one now what went on. It was flying nicely already: Vid without any after work, really smooth in my eyes with little throttle jumps changes that I can life with. But the firmware FW off smacked everything up. I hope...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    nope just flew with it didn't resolve anything ! Or actually i am confused at the moment the throttle response issue is solved but he is not holding altitude at all anymore :( or very bad lets say it like that. Gotta figure whats going on here. I hate it dont fly the bird for couple week and...

    Gunters new octocopter build

    Gunther cant you reduce the actual WKM components plate even more. The only component that actually needs real stability is the IMU hard mounted to the frame to get the best feedback. The MC PMU etc. need a minimal surface to be attached. You once asked me about the landing gear of the CS8 /...

    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    Red i am not sure but in the back of my head i got the info from someone who actually knows what he is talking about, that the Aerodrive is nothing else but MK BLs components rearranged with a fat heat-sink which doesn't provide any protection and running on the MK BL firmware with the only...

    camera mount vibration - looking for solutions

    Another inspiration maybe Jack. I am using one of the virbation mounts from ovdts links on my WKM Hexa. Be careful though vibration mounts should also not be to soft or you will get a flex or wobbles on your cam. Thats why i fixated the mounts back to the frame giving me the possibility to...

    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    japp its good. But much more interesting it would be if there is actually a cam on it and filming and we can see the footage. Just because the response is faster doesn't mean that the way there is actually smooth. The question is if one should dial the gimbals in for such extremes which they...

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Okay getting better. After two hours the tilt mechanical problems are nearly gone. Running at 7v now and still getting better results if the cam is out of balance on the gimbal. Some more tweaking to do than off the the Roll.
