THANKS!

I delved into this arena for a short time and purchased all of the old junk to build one of these dinosaurs! I have many long range quads that fly so easy and smooth, but I have always been fascinated with these old buzzards. Big mistake, I dropped around $300.00 to build one of these using the APM 2.8 FC. It flew ok for a large, under powered, way out of date, piece of old garbage! The undoing of it, was when I attempted to use auto calibrate! That sucker went waco and began to sway left and right and finally crashed into the ground. Due to the fact that it was plastic and not carbon, and weighed a ton caused it to shed many many parts on impact. It now lives in the city dump, lesson learned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How far we have come! I have two 60mm quads that are not toy grade and will fly circles around this. I also have 6 GPS quads including DJI products that bring a smile to my face every time. These are best remembered in the past tense and left to posterity!

Excellent video! You have an incredibly bright future ahead of you! Keep up the great work!

Nice vid. Actually u need to install the props upside down in each motor in the compass motor calibration.

Really great video! One thing that I didn't really understand is how do you power the ESC's. I saw that you connected the lipo battery to something but I'm not sure what. Do you use a power distribution board? I hope it doesn't sound dumb, I'm a beginner and want to build a quadcopter. Everything was clear except that part. So the ESC's power the APM with 5V and make the motors spin, but how do ESC's receive power?

@BananaScience

7 жыл бұрын

The bottom plate of the frame has a built-in power distribution board. If your model does not have one, you could just solder all of your wires together in a clump or spend the $1 and just get a cheap distribution board. ;) The ESCs power the flight controller and all other low-current hardware through the three wires that come off of it. If your ESCs only have two wires, they don't have a built-in BEC which supplies 5v power through that third wire. If you do have built in BECs I would suggest this super cheap distribution board but only if you can't find a base plate for your quad which has a built in one (there most likely is one if you look hard enough): www.ebay.com/itm/Multirotor-ESC-Power-Distribution-Battery-Board-For-Quadcopter-Multi-Axis-Model-/162324284849?hash=item25cb4805b1:g:zFoAAOSwux5YVSuF If you want something a little fancier and don't have built in BECs, try this one: amzn.to/2mmYEQw Here is what the "clump" method looks like: www.google.com/search?biw=1277&bih=712&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=quadcopter+esc+wire+clump&oq=quadcopter+esc+wire+clump&gs_l=img.3...12032.15252.0.15835.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0.xA0oO8CAjlY#imgrc=faeDNKqNqSb8OM:

The APM 2.6 goes through some "pre-arm checks" before it arms. Here is a list of them in order: ardupilot.org/copter/docs/prearm_safety_check.html We can now be sure that your problem is listed there. Most of those problems are very uncommon, so check all of these: 1) Your APM 2.6 is level. 2) You are outside and have a GPS lock. 3) Your transmitter's throttle value is trimmed to the very minimum (this is what happened to me).

There is not exactly a maximum voltage that you can attach to your flight controller, it is mainly about what voltage your motors and ESCs can handle. Your ESCs, if they have built in BECs, will output 5v to your flight controller no matter what voltage is put into them. For the S550, I would suggest a 3-4s lipo.

just curious, isnt it mandatory in the US to fly within line of sight? so 10 km range, where or how can it be used, do you need special permit for that? and then it can be done?

What flight time are you getting?

@BananaScience

It really depends on the load you're carrying. Without any load, you should expect 10-15 mins using the power system I used.

Are you receiving signals from all of your channels? There are some pre-arm checks that APM goes through before allowing you to arm. Check this out: ardupilot.org/copter/docs/prearm_safety_check.html

Hello Sir I want to flash firmware version 3.5.7 in my APM 2.8. But when I try to install the firmware it says " is your board a Linux board ". So what should I do , should I click yes or no on this message. Plz reply so that I can flash the firmware properly.

So I did a little research and think that you are supposed to say that it isn't a linux board. Is the right port selected and the FC is being recognised by the computer? Have you tried putting into bootloader mode or powering it from a 5V BEC as well as the USB? I haven't used my APM in a few years so my APM knowledge is a bit rusty...

how much weight it can lift

Hello I am thinking to connect 2, 5000 Mah Lipo batteries 3s in parallel to my F450 frame which has 30 ampere ESC installed on it with APM 2.8 will it burn my ESC or it is OK to connect these 5000 MH 3 cell lipo batteries in parallel. Please reply Urgent.

@BananaScience

7 жыл бұрын

It definitely won't burn out your ESC's as it is only a 3s LiPo. My only concern would be that those batteries would be too heavy. If you could lift them though, you would get some epic flight time! One of them is probably sufficient.

Sorry, I don’t understand

My APM 2.8 when powered on either through USB or bat. The led by the gps is always red. Sometimes a yellow led will flash in same area. I have never had a green light so does that mean my APM 2.8 isn't working correctly? I hope not. I purchased my S500 kit off eBay and right from the start I had 4 bad ESC's and 2 bad motors! The seller (said) he will send out 2 new motors and 4 new ESC's and a Gps until/M8N gps-compass. I've been seeing other APM 2.8 f.c's out there on the KZread and they have the green light on right next to gps when they power the APM. I hope I don't also have a bad APM

Also, if that eBay guy gives you any trouble, just report him. It is not natural that two of your motors and four of your ESCs would be bust. Something fishy is going on...

BananaScience yeah I agree, I'm not holding my breath in him sending out new ones. He had the guts to ask me if I'd remove my negative feedback I left on his product. I said you are crazy if you think I'm going to remove any my feedback. I said I'll remove it when I receive my unbroken new things. Also I found out later that he isn't even from the U.S like he states on his products page. He is from some small town in china. I also put a stop payment on my credit card until he fixes this which really got him moving! Like I said though I'm not holding me breath I'm sure I've been had.

That should work as long as it has PWM outputs if you want to use a similar configuration to the one I use in this video. 4 channels is pretty limited though since you can't have any auxiliary switches to enable RTH or any other modes just as a side note.

What wires of the ESC are you talking about? The power wires are fine to disconnect and the motor wires can be disconnected to be rearranged. Their order doesn't matter. The only way that I could see a short circuit happening is if you intentionally shorted two of the motor wires and turned up your throttle.
