Binding
- Binding process was painless
Required Hardware
Think ahead on hardware as this stuff is small and difficult to find. M3 misc nylon hardware arrives on
3.5mm bullet connectors were also an afterthought. I made a connector holder by drilling a 1/8" hole in a block of wood to hold the connectors while soldering wires to them
Motor spin-up testing
- 1 ESC was EXTREMELY hot to the touch. Discuss with Cyril.
- Just power to ESC, not motor connected
- Replaced it
Prop Balancing
- James Hughes Balance props
Initial Setup and Flight Test
- James Hughes Meet with Cyril to go through settings/ fine tune
Build TODOs
- James Hughes Drill bottom plate to allow mounting holes for PDU
- James Hughes Tie wrap ESCs and cables
- James Hughes Reverse PDU connector. Move to bottom side of board
Arming the drone
Seemed like it did not work all the time. Pretty certain the transmitter is on first, before plugging in the battery to the drone
Second Attempt of spin-up testing
- spin up on all 4 motors is good
- rotation is verified
- M1-M4 are connected to proper connectors
ESC failure
- ESC gets really hot with just having the battery connected
- No motor
- No connection to controller
- I'll tear it apart later
