When I get the battery and charger (I ordered them last night), what is the minimum voltage that I should discharge my battery to? Also, the battery that you recommended is 5.2A, and the charger says that it'll charge up to 5A. They will work together, right? Or won't they? (^Pretty stupid of...

Parts: DJI F450 frame (http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=76_96_200&products_id=1006) Afro 20A esc with Simonk (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/..._Motor_Speed_Controller_SimonK_Firmware_.html) Multistar 935kv motors...

I'm using a 3s 3200mah battery. I have a voltage buzzer that came with my kk, but I don't know how to read the voltage of the battery with the kk. Also, the quad only flies for about 2 minutes before the battery dies.... Is that normal? (I'll look into the charger that you recommended, thanks)...

Ok. My problem is that I don't have a charger that can switch to Li-ion or NiMh. I have the basic charger that came with my plane (http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/aeroonline/e2eflite/e2accessories/e2chargers/e2acccharlipo_2.html). I guess I'm looking for a new charger. What charger do you...

Ok, so I took it out today and it flew for about 1-2 minutes before the props stopped spinning and it plummeted to the ground. I checked the battery voltage and it was at 9.9v (max is about 11.4v). The guy at the hobby store told me not to drain it past 10v, but I thought that it would fly for...

Ok, so I went to the hobby store and they said that I'd over-discharged my battery. They brought it back up to voltage with their 'smart' charger and told me not to do that again ;). I adjusted the PID's again (set them all to 30) and I had success!!!! I'm able to fly it now! Thanks!

Ok, so I edited the PIDs and then I took it outside to test, and the escs won't light up or beep! I tested it with a multimeter, and there's power to all of them, but they won't power up..... Also, when I was testing the voltage going through the distribution board, I accidently connected the...

What are PIDs? I've heard about them but I'm not sure what they are....

I have made sure they're all working and have calibrated my accelerometers. Is there anyway to calibrate my gyros? (I have Steveis firmware) Maybe the gyros are the problem...?

Ok. I guess I may never know why the distribution board broke, but at least it's working now! Any thoughts on the new problem?

I didn't have the battery plugged into the esc. I had it plugged into the flamewheel f450's built in power distribution board. After I plugged the battery in wrong, the distribution board stopped working.Last night, I attempted to solder the esc wires together to create a makeshift distribution...

I'm powering it throught the escs. They have built in BECs. Everything was working fine until I plugged the battery in wrong.... ;(

Ok, so I plugged in my other battery (other one won't charge now...), and I discovered that my power distribution board that is included in my flamewheel f450 frame is broken. The power won't go to the escs. If I plug the battery into the esc and then power the kk from the esc, the backlight...

it doesn't look burnt.... but it did emit a good amount of smoke......

(Lol this is my fourth question here in 1 month) Hey guys, I just finished my first quadcopter build last night, and this morning I plugged everything into the kk.2.1.5 board that I have. I bound my rx and tx and I calibrated the board and everything. I then unplugged it and went to do...

Ok. Thanks

Ok, thanks. Just making sure, but I'll be able to adjust the heat on the station to be able to safely solder pcbs and smaller circuits as well right?

The more expensive one is fine for my budget ($28 on Amazon). In my googling, I came across this from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/products/180) and I'm wondering if it would do the trick (It is less expensive, smaller, and I like Adafruit :))? If not, the station that you suggested looks...

Hello. I am in the process of assembling my first build. I have a flamewheel f450 frame from DJI, and I'm trying to solder the escs to the frame. The wire that I'm using is 13 gauge. I tried using my 30watt hobbico electronics soldering iron, but it just doesn't have enough heat to heat up the...

Hi. I'm working on creating a quadcopter flight controller with an Arduino. I've had success in reading the output from the throttle pin on the RC receiver and then using to Arduino to control 1 motor, but if I try to add a second motor and control it through the aileron pin (I know that I don't...
