    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    My friend did this test at her home, but we just went over some procedures to do safer tests in the future. I will keep this thread up to date. Your help is very appreciated.

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    Haha, no I am a guy and that's the girl who's working with me. But your point holds....she's been very excited about it and actually designed the frame on her own so the Death Star was her idea. (She's also an amazing programmer). I will get in touch with Nick, and hopefully get my hands on his...

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    Sorry I forgot to keep an eye on this thread; I got very busy since it's finals week. Anyhow.... Yes, I am actually going to try the joystick idea for my next build. We will see how it will turn out :D As to our current project, here are some updates. One of our escs isn't working. We have a...

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    Definitely looking forward to it then. This stick seems to have a hand full of buttons, so assuming I can tweak it to work with a radio tx/rx I should be able to fly a quadcopter fine.

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    I like these ones.....I think I have watched too much Hollywood CSI :D On another thought, have you used any other method to stream FPV other than Radio Video Telemetry? Our current setup is a Raspberry Pi No-IR camera but of course the lag is going to be painful.

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    I really wanted to buy one of those stick joysticks and build/program it myself but my team refused to let me (trust issues haha), but my personal next build will probably have a custom built/tweaked joystick.

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    We had the same problem this morning. The batteries were good in another controller but couldn't work in this Tx. When I noticed the jack port, I grabbed a 9v and it worked fine. We decided the batteries were not good but nice to know it can be modded. We will look into it if the 9v can't serve...

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    Hmmm....here is a picture of the receiver, there are three pins in a row on all 6 channels. I assume we don't need a power source on each row. So just connect power on the first channel's two other pins and leave the rest alone?

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    Well, I think we are just confused as to how the radio receiver is supposed to get power from the controller. There is a wire for VCC and Gnd, which our teacher explained is the power source, but the receiver has ch1-ch6 and and ID Set. Where should we plug the power? Thanks for your support...

    Flight controller board and radio receiver connection

    So I am back with a question.... Our parts arrived and everything is going well, but we can't connect the radio receiver with the flight controller. We are using the HK6s 2.4 Ghz radio system with the HkPilot Mega Mini flight controller. We connected the channels fine, but we can't find where...

    First build-- parts

    Thanks, holtneil. I like the simplicity of the second one, and it does seem to house the electronics pretty cleanly. I will take a look and update you as we develop the design, hopefully it will come out good.

    First build-- parts

    Thanks for the quick reply. This is for a school project, so I (we) are on a tight budget as you might have noticed :) We have a 3D printer at school so I am planning on using that. Your frame is really nice, and it will probably be less heavier if 3D printed. I will see what my team mates come...

    General questions related to first quqdcopter build

    Greetings everyone, I and two other friends decided to work on a quadcopter. We don't have much experience with hardware but we all know how to program in couple of languages. I am taking on most of the programming work load so I wanted to clarify somethings here before setting out programming...
