thank you. it seems that the ESC was overheating. i checked connections and such and then replaced the metal screws that i used to attached to the frame with nylon .it seems to work. might have been a short that i made happen by accident.

its safe to say that im losing my mind slowly :D. everything works. all good. than i dropped my transmitter. potentiometer for throttle broke. replaced it with a new one and now its not working. all transmitter output looks the same. code is the same. but now, the quad turns off within 2-3...

hmm, i encountered this frustrating issue that i dont know if there is a fix for. The Ground solder plate of the ESC broke off. is this a fixable issue?

im using a custom flight controller that i made so its more tricky. Hello Wafflejock :D. ah ok, so if another sensor is required than thats good. ill look into that. I know acro is better but im too noobish to do that right nowo_O. i got the angle mode to work im just trying to make it as...

i don't know, i just feel like its really neat to see it float so im trying to do it.

but if i want no stick movement equaling hover than there should be some code to make it so that stick angle is applied as an initial .

so my quad drifts and i wanted to implement some trim. would it be the same to add a flat speed increase to the motors that are drifting?

when looking up trim, people often discuss what trim does and how to use it but i haven't been able to find information on what it is Code wise. What is it really?

thank you for your help. i want to improve on it further but right now, its good enough for a semester project :D . by the way, i think i have a plan for a tiny quad that might work. excited to give it a try! ill use 4 mosfets one for each motor and a regulator to 5v for the arduino. i hope that...

i ran into this dilemma. if i increase the I_gain, the quad tends to try to stay where it is but starts to oscillate heavily, if i decrease it, it becomes more stable but starts to drift so much i cant really call it drifting, its more like moving to that direction. I followed every guide to...

I already do that :D . i give it about 15 seconds or so before reading the initial. it happens pretty quickly. i would says about a second of stable in place hover and then without touching the direction stick, it starts to drift significantly.

but i think there is a problem because the drift feels significant. significant enough to feel like my room is too small for it. i expected a drift but not that much. I suspect that its the build im doing. i have two layers above the motors. One floor takes the battery and another takes the...

ok everything works great except one thing, It drifts left. I tried adjusting the PID many times but i haven't been able to figure out which one should i change. im trying to make an angle controller now it works except this drift.

Yeah, i think im just gonna use some online service that creates a board for you. that would save me alot of headache.

sometimes i wanna punch the wall! Gaaaah! i had to move the battery cus the build was kinda shaky and weak. As i was doing the reassembling, i peeled off the metal that connects one of the motors to the ESC by mistake so i had to replace the ESC. after tons of re assembling and soldering, ITS...
