Det gikk veldig bra til å være første flytur. Hexacopteret er heller ikke ferdig bygd enda, men det var lett å kontrollere. Selv om ikke motorer og blader var blitt balansert enda. Auto Tuning kalkulerte helt nye PIDS. Synd at SJCAM'en som henger under i en 3 akse gymbal ikke filmet turen. Bra redigert Mikael, takk! Håper du kan filme en annen gang også :)
Hello Mikael, Can you help me with something, I am planning to have a similar configuration, can you tell me a little about it? How are you using your power module?? The maximum current is 90A. Regards!
Hello Camilo, You may have discovered a fault in my setup I’m using 6 motors (KV340) that according to www.ecalc.ch draws 31,2 A Maximum each. That totals up to 187,2 A. I’m currently using power module v1.0, and if the maximum current is 90A on this module I may have a problem. I see there is solutions to this issue: copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-using-a-pixhawk-with-6s-batteries/ But I’m not sure the power module v1.0 supplied with my (Chinese) Pixhawk only supports up to 90 A. Btw: Is there anything else you need to know about?
Hans Petter Wold Hi guys, Added some useful information, links to Pixhawk and 180A AttoPilot power module wiring: - copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-using-a-current-sensor/ - www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2177075
Camilo Hernandez Hi again, I never got around to upgrading the power module to the Sparkfun 180 A version. That was a mistake! Yesterday I gave full trottle and the multicopter climbed to about 250m fast and suddenly all motors stopped and it fell. The motors stared again 10 meters from the ground so the damage was not total. But the power module was burned, it did not handle the current. Lesson learned: Upgrade to the Sparkfun 180A module!
Hi. I used the one of the two battery mounting plates and mounted it over the center and then monted a Pixhawk APM Flight Control Universal seat cushioning suspension seat that i order from China (www.aliexpress.com/item/Pixhawk-APM-Flight-Control-Universal-seat-cushioning-suspension-seat/1847262854.html)
Are you willing to share MC_Roll_ RATE P, MC_Pitch_Rate P and MC_YAW_Rate P and appropriate I and D values + MC Roll-P and MC-Pitch-P and MC-YAW P for your Pixhawk?
Hi Mikael very nice drone you get...but could you tell me the total weight in flight equipped on your video and what is flight range.....? Thank's a lot.......... Philippe ( France )
I noticed that your Hex makes the same noise as mine makes with the Pixhawk. What is that? and is there a way to get rid of it? I used to use the NAZA on this system and it didn't make that strange high pitch wiring noise. Some times that noise worries me and wonder if I should be changing out the ESCs or if it's just what the Pixhawk does.
Hi, so sorry to tell you that I don't remember it. Nearly 7 years ago I uploaded this and must of everything here is outdated. I might check with a friend to see if remembers😊
Hans Petter Wold Most of the builds I have seen are all with Naza, I am trying to figure out how to mount my batteries if I have a mid size gimbal down below. Also my PDB is under as well. I ended up buying one already built so I have to work with that rather than designing my own from scratch.
Erik Schneider Hi Erik, I use Pixhawk and I solved this by mounting the PDB with short extenders. I was then able to mount the battery pack on the gimbal rails just slightly back from the center below the PDB. The gimbal mounting kit I just moved forward so that center of gravity is balanced. In the video center of gravity was not perfect, but this has been changed and gimbal mounting kit is now much further forward. Hope this helps you out.
Viktor Tech Hi Viktor, I have made some modification to the configuration since this video was made. Basically I have swapped the two 5000 mAh batteries with one large 16000 mAh battery and upgraded the propellers to 18”. Also bought FrSky transmitter, added retractable landing gear, plus some minor changes. According to www.ecalc.ch/ which is a great tool I should have mixed flight time of 16,3 minutes and hover flight time of 21,4 minutes. The all-up total weight is now 6300 g and I can add additional 6395 g of payload. Off course increasing the payload would decrease the flight time. The altitude is limited to local regulations (400 feet or 120 m in my country), but the max altitude is actually limited to the range of the TX/RX. I have only tested it to about 450 m but it could go *high* up in the sky :) especially when I have configured the Radio fail-safe so the hexacopter will return to home if the TX/RX signal is lost. Let me know if there is anything other you want to know :)
hello Hans Please explain brand and specifications of the battery of 16000 that you placed the Hexacopter. especially talk to me about the amount of discharge. I find only 25c
+Geon Map Hi, I have actually upgraded to a 22000 mAh battery. It has these specs: Gens Ace Tattu LiPo batteryCapacity: 22000mAhVoltage: 22.2VMax Continuous Discharge: 25C (550A)Max Burst Discharge: 50C (1100A)Weight:: 2544 gDimensions: 198*91*66 mm It’s a hexacopter so with 40 A ESC: 6 x 40 A = 240 A total. 25C should be more than good enough. But i have had issues with burn out in the power module. I had to replace it with a Attopilot 180A Voltage and Current Sensor.
Wow Tremendous change. which is the ultimate measure of the propeller.? and what is the team's final weight.? and what is the end autonomy.? hans thanks
