Peter Seddon replied to jasonshort's discussion 'Arducopter 2.1.1 alpha'
This thread may be a starting point for what others are doing to rewrite/reflash the firmware in various ESC's to make them more suitable for 'copters (higher pwm frame rates and faster response). The problem they have recently run up…

Try http://www.motocalc.com/ as well. Huge range of motors and props are built into the database and it also offers comparative plots for a powertrain and estimates of flight performance for a given airframe.  Peter

Came across this in the Science Museum London as a development by Manchester University. It looked like the motors are fixed at this angle - Why? Anyone suggest any benefits for this arrangement - faster yaw control? greater stability? more controllable?…

Which Ublox GPS?

Posted on August 11, 2009 at 3:05am 0 Comments

Came across this post on the Mikrokopter forum and wondered how this might affect the Ardupilot fitted with the Ublox LEA5-H: " we did our tests with the LEA5H to use it with the NaviCtrl. We couldn't find a solution to get it work. The data rate of the LEA5 is not constant. (depends on how many satelites are received). Statement from ublox: this is a typical behavior, if you use refresh rates below 1 Hz.



This is the reason, why we use the LEA4H for our MKGPS.



So - LEA5H… Continue
