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...

so higher Pwm is better than servo? i did some adjustments and it works with analogwrite right now But i don't notice any difference.

alright its flying! still problem with yawing. i need to figure out why its not correcting for yaw that well but i could definitely call it flight. my room is too small to let it go free and test it properly. cant say how well its flying sense it keeps smashing into things before taking off...

its kinda odd but i tried to do some adjustments but it not working. essentially, it seems that it can only go up like that if i increase the speed quickly with significant amount of yaw. so if i adjust the yaw so that its not yawing like a car wheel, than it won't fly up. is that a common...

Its soooo close! im so excited! i turned it on after a few changes and it went straight up! it looked like a coin that is just about done spinning but it actually toke off for once ! its sooo clooose :D. i think its time for pid adjustments.

thank you. its been resolved. It seems to be a calibration issue. i calibrated it a few times before. i switched escs and the same issue stayed so i didn't suspect it but yup. its working now :D
