Nice video showing how to train using the supplied tools
Hi everyone! :) Is it ok to ask question here? I'm building drone on Raspberry pi 3 and Pixhawk. Question related to calibrating engines and other stuff - can I do calibration using USB gamepad connected to the ground station? I just wanted to know if I really need RC transmitter and receiver, to just calibrate for the first flight.
@patrykbilka you might have more luck on forums for those types of questions - more dev related in here. however, it’s not considered a good idea until you have everything tested nd tuned: https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/how-i-can-fly-quad-copter-without-transmitter-and-receiver-using-apm-2-8/26693
Hi guys ! I'm looking for a drone frame which include indoor protection for drone, like the AR Drone 2.0 for example with its EPP (expanded polypropylene). But I want to manage all the system inside (flight controllers, electronics etc.). I can still make everything by myself, but it will take time (and not sure to succeed well), so if I can avoid it, it would be cool.
Have you seen similar project, or have models in head to propose ? Thanks in advance !

(I have found that "Hardware" is the closer topic for this question. But if you think it has to be somewhere else, do not hesitate)
@KiloNovemberDelta https://hobbyking.com/en_us/x-uav-lotus-quad-copter-with-water-landing-capability-450mm.html is close to what you’re after.
I am looking for something better than my ''not so reliable'' QMC5883L
You did not mention the size of motor, but I have had good luck with the rcx BE motors, low cost, good balance, look here http://www.myrcmart.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=be28&osCsid=p9nljaoq1temejpoose3vcc5k6&x=0&y=0

If your equipment is compatible with DSHOT, no calibration is necessary.
Does anyone know how to drive BLheli_s ESC with arduino, I test pwm, the motor with no response
Pretty simple, d/l blhi_suite, then select your arduino board, then flash it, then goto the motors tab and test.
I was using this one https://hobbyking.com/fr_fr/2213n-800kv-brushless-motor.html so if you know any one similar let me know ! thanks
@Silvanosky you wont be disappointed with the rcx BE motors if you were happy with that HK motor. I also recommend using BLHeli_S ESC, very smooth, very low stable rpm and reversible (3D mode). Compared to regular airplane or even simonk esc, these are much better imo. I love the RS30A V2, they are tiny, reliable, low cost, if you need 4 you could go with the 4n1. https://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-RS30A-V2-30A-Blheli_S-ESC-OPTO-2-4S-Support-Oneshot42-Multishot-for-FPV-Racer-p-1072073.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN

@Ozzy33 great thanks a lot ! I will try that
your welcome, I use these esc in my quads, I love them, zero desync even at the highest rates the gyro allows, have fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHoFfpLSb2g&t=2s
Hello guys - can I ask drone-assembly related question here? I would like to connect Rpi to pixhawk. Decided to use USB(rpi) -> microUSB(pixhawk) with red 5V cable cut. The last thing to cover is powering Rpi. From what I know, to power Rpi I need UBEC 5V - like this one: https://www.modmypi.com/power-1137/hobbywing-5v-3a-ubec-step-down-converter
What i think: One output goes to Rpi GPIO to power Rpi, then the other side of BEC is connected with Power Distribution Board (that is connected to Lipo) - Did i miss something?

What you’ve suggested will work. Personally I’d be using a serial port on the Pixhawk, not USB. Also, powering a Pi over the GPIO bypasses the polyfuse. There are pads on the bottom of the Pi near the micro USB that you can solder 5V to.
So: I’d do it differently to be more robust, but your way is easier and will probably be fine.

Anyone knows about this~Thanks in advance
I have been wondered if I could find a way to output a constant 5V and adjust it to lower electric lever like 1v from main out pin or Aux pin in Pixhawk(using rover), already check the docs and find out I can use main out to output PWM or Aux to output an instant high/low level, they will act as a signal for controling other equipments,
The DJI rover stuff. Not actually new, just hasn’t been marketed to consumers before
Hopefuly with some "openess" of the underlying protocols ;-)
I noticed in the docs that dodge does not work with the 360 degree lidars and I was hoping to be able to use it for obstacle avoidance on a survey type mission.
