I just received a Turnigy Tachometer and it is mostly dead. Can someone tell me if there are suppose to be parts where the bare pads are?

http://flaps.chebuzz.com/autopilots/10-coptercontrol.html I don't expect they will last long. Don't hoard. More coming soon.

You were probably expecting something else?:p It might be good for prototyping my bi-copter.

I want a frame that I don't think exists yet. Maybe there's a reason for that?:confused: Here's what I'm thinking let's hear your ideas: It will be for a basic FPV/camera platform with vibration isolation. It won't be a pro mount so maybe design it for a GoPro and small FPV cameras. Basically...

Everyone should have a RX that has built-in failsafe, but what happens when communication between the RX and flight board fail? The CC code currently doesn't have a radio failsafe. There's no baro so a smart descent becomes difficult. Cutting the motors is not the proper way IMHO and I do...

I received the CopterControl board in the mail this mail this morning. Below is a size comparison between a Quadrino, an MK, and the CC board. I must say, it's some fine workmanship but I'm still going to take the iron to it. Buzzed: That Hakko 808 rocks. I'm going to lay the pins down...

I'm going to put my CC board in a bi-copter and it looks like I'll need a custom mixer setup. There is currently no information in the wiki to setup custom mixing. What are the number ranges? +- 100? +- 64? +-50?

Below is the link to get the new open source CopterControl board from the OpenPilot project. http://forums.openpilot.org/topic/4702-inital-op-stores/page__pid__13468 Be warned though. This is for early adopters and people who like to get their hands dirty so don't get your panties in a wad if...

I was flying my beater quad yesterday and it took off on me. The right rear motor just decided to speed up and it was all I could do to keep it in the yard. Then at about 8 feet it dropped into a bush and released the magic smoke. The windings on the ultra cheapo cf2822 motor burnt. Then I...

I've been using an old Aiptec camera to record video, now I want something easier and smaller. Has anyone tried one of these: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/mini-d1-quality-sd-card-video-recorder-onboard-or-for-ground-s-p-221.html I like the instant on feature. Are there any others?

I'm going to attempt to document my build of a FPV system. Currently my ground station is composed of a spaghetti mess of wires. This build aims to fix that mess. For starters, read this page: http://videoaerialsystems.com/fpv-a-guide-to-success/ You may recognize the owner of that site as...

I finally got around to wiring up the MultiWii board that I put together months ago. The wiring is a bit of a mess because I didn't have an interface board and with it just being a test craft, I did it fast. Bottom line is that it flew well with no tuning. I only flew half a battery but so far...

I'm working on a bad MK BL-Ctrl that I believe caused another problem. The schematic below is for the FET section. Can one of you electrical engineers tell me what would happen if R25 was to fail. Kirk Edit: I should have been more specific. It's a version 2 BL-Ctrl. I know R25 will stop...

Has anyone seen such a beast? I was thinking of something like below but built into a flying wing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK61Q0crRGo Here's a winged quad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWTi2Dgh0Fw The goal would be to have a FPV craft with gliding and hover ability. Has anyone seen one?

I'm looking for an RC truck to test my FPV gear and antennas. (Yes... that is the excuse I'm using.) ;) I'd like to get something in the $200 or $300 range. I'm leaning towards a large crawler so it won't get stuck as easily and maybe even be able to carry a light quad on it's back. Any...

I figured I'd pop in and say Hi. I have an MK Octo and a Kaptein Kuk quad. Just picked up a CNC machine and I'm hoping to learn enough by the spring to build some frame parts for an openpilot copter. Kirk
