Jittering motor problem - it's not the bullets
Started this discussion. Last reply by estebanflyer Feb 11. 8 Replies 0 Likes
Folks:10 seconds after powering the APM, the right motor starts jittering.When I test this same motor without APM, it works fine. That cancels out bad bullets, bad ESC or bad motor. I have tried a…Continue

Drone use in the U.S. raise privacy concerns(CBS News) - Unmanned aerial vehicles, a key weapon in the hunt for terrorists overseas, are coming to America. In February, President Barack Obama signed a bill that opens U.S. airspace to thousands of these unmanned aircraft.The drones come in just about any size you want - as large as a passenger plane - or as small as a hummingbird."There's no stopping this technology," said Peter Singer, a…See More

turn on filter mean solder the filters on the board? i did that. I will reset to defaults when i get new propellers this coming friday.
thanks for the offer, but I need a heavy lifter!
thanks for replying.
do you have a shop?
- At 6:51am on August 9, 2011, OG said…
looks goodThe T580 is a heavy lifter designed for photography Payload 500g to 800g : for a still camera or a DV & very light carbon construction position hold, xmode + mode selectable options. I think it could be a weight/power issue as well when I load up my copter it is hard to control it takes a lot of practice.

Developerjasonshort said… Hi,
Your rate P is far too low. Rate P is directly related to how hard your motors try to keep you level. Your quad looks a bit "lazy". If the defaults didn't work for you try something just a bit lower.
Don't worry about your Stabilize P until you get this thing behaving more snappy.
- At 2:01pm on September 9, 2011, estebanflyer said…
Perfect! thank you!
When Rate P was higher it would woobble too much, but i did lower both STAB P and RATE P at the same time.
Thanks again.

Special thanks to Paul Dowling and Jason Short for their help with PID's tunning! I would have never taken off without their advice.
Both stabilize and simple mode work flawlessly.
The beast is flying with four 4 cells batteries, 400 gram each. wingspan is 120 cm. Propellers are 14 X 7 3 blades.

Continue Four modes switch for Futaba T6EX
Posted on July 2, 2011 at 2:00pm 23 Comments 0 Likes
The T6EX doesn't have a 3 position switch channel, so I had to combine channel 5 and 6 to get four modes. I made it work with a pot that has double terminals for each knob position, so that way there is always 2 pins to connect cables to for a single position.
Think of this knob as a bridge between same terminals: A to A, B to B, etc, closing the circuit to ground.
Channel 6 is connected to a terminal A and a terminal B from the opposite side.
Channel 5 is…
