If you want to control the motors individually directly from the PWM signal wire (generally the white wire), however you'll never get a stabilization achieved if your project is due in the next 9 months. For this reason using the Naze to do stabilization is a great idea. I suggest you...

You might wish to better explain what you are trying to accomplish for more help. From what I gather this is relevent info: Servo library and servo cables to the receiver in if it uses PWM for the receiver input. Different method if the receiver has CPPM out and the FCB has CPPM out. PWM...

Came here to post this, noticed the title hahahaha. This woman is insane.

That is what I'd think, but you might check the port, it could be labled as something like Com1, plug it in, note what devices show up and then unplug it to compare and figure out which poort just disappeared. if you plug it back into the same place it should be the right port. usbasp is...

Make sure to check your ESCs, motor, and battery specs first though ;)

Reduced flight time, and if you had more freedom with the controls and power for the motors you'd be able to see the real reason hey are used. You can feel as if they have more "traction" when you change directions because the increased surface area gives them a better bite in the air. I...

Usually innocent deaths are attributed to misinformation, wrong place just the right time, being used as a meat shield by someone who is being targeted, or the most, likely a combination of the three. Not to get politics involved too much, but the people who are being targeted are the same...

You could use tri-blade props but it will actually decrease flight times. Lower efficiency due to the higher amp draw and less thrust per amp drawn. If you want to know more I can give you some raw data I've collected while working on a product review I plan to post soon after things get...

Hahaha, HAL stands for Heavy Aerial Lift, and what type of flight time are you expecting?

Planning on doing something like a H.A.L or endurance quad?

You'd be better to use a ground station that did everything required before sending the signal out to the Rx. If you tried to do it using a simple bus like the picture describes it is likely that your PWM out would be either unreadable, or misread as an incorrect value. You could use an...

Seen it done a few years ago before I was into quads. They got the balloon filled to the point that the quadcopter displaced almost exactly it's weight in air. The result was a somewhat drifty quadcopter that could move around with minimal power consumption. It was some sort of challenge...

Yeah, and three "drone" impacts before that that later have had bird entrails recovered. Waiting to see what this will be tagged as, though as it is a miss we may never know. Looks like the pilot gets to start blaming "drones" for any type of pilot error. Kinda like "missing a dog"...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3606482/Pilots-Lufthansa-passenger-plane-forced-dodge-THREE-drones-lucky-spot-landing.html Is someone going to come out and say that this is a joke? If so I'm certainly not laughing. The claims and exaggerations keep getting worse...

you build your house with FPV in mind? :P

Most soldering irons have a reasonably low EOS risk for something like your ESCs, so I doubt that was the cause though with a cheap crappy iron or perhaps backfeeding in your house would increase that risk.

Hahaha, I think it is an Officer only job as most all flying AFSCs are. I got a contract for a electrical systems maintenance for UAVs, but turned it down (after several failed attempts at convincing my recruiter) and then scored my current contract. If you were a mechanic you could probably...

May have been a little into the skin of the coating on the winding, and the vibrations made it come the rest of the way through the windings. Pretty unlucky chain of events :(

That right there is a battery saver hahaha. In many cases it is worth it's weight in gold.
