    450 Autonomous Drone ESC's

    In case anybody is wondering about this I have figured out that APM does not support BlHeli, BlHeli_S or BlHeli_32. So standard / Simonk ESC's are needed.

    Controlling a GoPro Camera

    My GoPro came with this remote https://shop.gopro.com/International/accessories-2/smart-remote/ARMTE-002.html and it claims to be able to do 600 feet. I think this would be a good solution as well especially since you can do everything with it.

    450 Autonomous Drone ESC's

    I have build a couple of racing quads in the past and I am now going to tackle an autonomous build. I have these Sunny sky motors and two different ESC's Racerstar 20a 4 in 1 and Emax simonK 30a ESC's. I am wondering what ESC will work better for this build? I have also heard that the simonK...

    Cant Get Motors To Spin

    Fixed It! when I was working with the receiver to switch it I must have bumped the negative lead on the esc and it came off just enough to not be noticeable. Everything is working great now!

    Cant Get Motors To Spin

    Yeah Maybe, another thing that convinces me that the 4 in 1 esc is dead is that BLHeli configurator is not detecting it.

    Cant Get Motors To Spin

    Battery is connected, I have checked that box and tried bringing up 1 motor and using the master slider both don't do anything. Im starting to think this is an ESC problem. But the ESC was working perfect before so idk why it would just randomly die.

    Cant Get Motors To Spin

    Well, I would rather use I-bus because it is 3 wires instead of 7 wires. And I have a feeling that the reason the motors are not spinning isnt because of the receiver mode but I dont really know.

    Cant Get Motors To Spin

    So I recently had my quad flying pretty good. Then I cut a ppm wire with the props by accident. Since my receiver supported I-bus I switched to using that. Now that I am using I-Bus I cant get the motors to spin no matter what. Even the motor controller in beta flight cant get them to spin. The...

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    Yes but I do not get how a motor would burn out just from one motor wire shorting?

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    Okay, I attached the motor wires to the esc wires by directly soldering the wires together and putting heat shrink tubing on it. Now that I look at it it apears that one of the wires was missing its heat shrink tubing(I must have forgot). But even if one wire out of the 3 was missing the heat...

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    The ESC has shrink rap around it so nothing could have touched the esc

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    Hmm, on the motor page it looks like the motor pulls more than 20 amps. I am using the 2300 kv version. Should I replace it with a 30a 4 in 1?

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    When I look at the 4 in 1 ESC there is no damage that I can see. and I did not see any "magic smoke" come out of the ESC when the motor burned out?

    Motor / ESC Problem?

    I recently built my first racing quadcopter and second drone. I used the build guide found here. I had a good first flight but on my second flight a had a crash and one of the motors gave off a lot of smoke. I tried to fly it again a couple of times and then gave up and came in to check on the...

    Bad Motors? Or Is It Just Me?

    So, If I were to go ahead and order those sunny sky's do you guys think I would have less trouble with the wires breaking or should I just stick to the emax motors?
