two question, maybe someone knows:

these plugs are they standard plugs and does someone know where i can get them or are they home grown DJI ? For example the plug from the IMU to the MC.

Hetsink is looking very good.

It was rainy today, I only had 10 minutes to try with your settings Will look into the yaw problem more detailed.

 

[BorisS]

ovdt how big is your bird and if you using the MT 550 KV i can imagine that your bird needs more gain than mine. Not sure but your setting are going to be different for sure.

Those plugs seem specially made for DJI, never came across on the web.

If you want best results with painting, search for "anodizing". Normal painting will not work perfectly, once you touch it with your nail, the paint will drop off.

Once more thanks Gunter !!!
Bottom side and top side of the heat sink

No problems, only happy to help

I agree, just make sure when you get the heatsink made, that the aluminium is the correct grade to be anodised. Not all aluminium can be anodised.

expenses expenses now i want it. Its that procedure your talking about http://www.a-mbs.de/ ? first picture.

I got this thermal tape http://at.rs-online.com/web/p/waermeleitende-isolatoren/7074774/ should be right or ? 0.5mm 12Kv/mm 12.0v/MK, who ever needs some tell me i want need all !

Thanks

 

[BorisS]

Gunther what i dont get is I can open the DWG in my for free CAD viewer but archicad 13 is telling me every-time i want to open it no lines were drawn. Do you have a clue what that could be ?

No Boris, that is powder coating (Pulverbeschichtung) Anodising is when the aluminium is dipped into a tank (Eloxieren)

 

[Gunter]

No idea I'm afraid, I have never used Archicad. Have you tried opening the DXF file? Maybe Archicad doesn't do 3d drawings?

 

[BorisS]

it does, but i always makes problems I'll just get Rhino wish it would be working on OSX already thanks !

 

[Borneoben]

Boris have you seen this version of a heat-sink? "http://shop.jet-1a.com/index.php?cPath=472_526&osCsid=e770ed60785cb08ff909315ce55e31cc"
Also would be nice if you use some "http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=TH-001-ID&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=27" for the heat transfer. I also recommend lapping the surface "http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/lapping/"
I am watching you closely on this, if yours works on the DJI I will get a Herkules board too.

 

[BorisS]

Hi redridinghood I have seen it and i got my ideas from it. It doesn't fit on my CineStar frame though and i want to additionally add a rolling cage to my heat-sink. And the roll-cage will give some mounting possibility for my thick ppm cables coming from the Herkules and the motor cables.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=TH-001-ID&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=27 sounds very good

Thanks very interesting ! @ http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/lapping/

okay final with roll-cage, got a price for doing this thing today and i must say not bad for a single piece around 100 Euros. But it wont be one piece the bars of the roll-cage will be screwed together.

(edit) thanks once more redridinghood, ordered the stuff today didn't even think in that direction to prepare the heat sink.

 

[BorisS]

got word from the cnc guy not going to work the way i want it to. Drilling for the Rollcage to mount it to the main Heat-sink cant be done this way or only with extra costs for a 250 $ 2mm thread drill, specially hardened. So did everything new and simpler. By this pace next year spring

[BorisS]

so last proto fits, off to the CNC finally ! Cage is not screwed or glued on so it looks slanted and only the top cage is mounted. Hope to have everything latest next week.

Nice one Boris, hardly waiting for results.

 

[BorisS]

Krleas same here, I would love to have to thing up and flying already.

Guys i have one questions i would love to drill a 3mm holes in on of the 450mm Carbon fiber booms of the CS 8, to have some servos cables disappear. Would you be concerned that this majorly impacts its integrity ?

 

[BorisS]

so finally heat sink finished. Not so happy how the screws turned out, was spoken through like that but whatever. Got the main plate the rest can change myself.

Gonna polish this thing a little to get the rough edges out.
