The SP Racing F7 FC Dual Stack is an interesting new product. There are some exciting features that were unheard-of including “PID Audio” and “Dual Gyro Fusion”. The SPRacing F7 DUAL is developed by the man behind Cleanflight, so is he making a come back?
This article explains what FC looptime is and how faster looptime might affect your quadcopter’s flight performance. We’ll also talk about gyro update frequency and ESC refresh rate which are equally important.
It’s possible that you can brick your flight controllers due to human error (where FC doesn’t talk to computer anymore, just timeout or says connection fail). You might still be able to fly using that FC as normal, but there is no way you can connect the board to Cleanflight or Betaflight configurator.
In this article we will briefly explain the different flight controller firmware options available for autopilots, and mini quad (FPV Racing Drones). We will take a look at the background of these FC firmware, and what they were intended to do.
Anton from CapeFPV team shared with us how to get better and more linear throttle response, by doing ESC (BLheli) and flight controller (Cleanflight) calibration and configuration.
The other day, my quad dropped from about 50 feet because I accidentally disarmed my quadcopter mid air and crashed. Sascha (aka Arakon) was kind enough to shared with me how he setup his switches and modes to avoid this from happening.
In this post I will share how I use Blackbox to tune PID, following some basic and simple steps.
For those using Cleanflight, here are a few CLI commands that might help you improve your multicopter’s performance! Many people are running these now and having good feedback.
Blackbox feature in Cleanflight is useful for tuning PID, and diagnose any performance related issue you might have with your multicopter.
New PID controllers (PC) have been added to the Cleanflight (CF) firmware. We discussed the three PID controllers 1, 2 and 3 in Part one. This post is part of the Cleanflight setup guide.
However, 3 more PC’s was just added to CF literally just a few hours ago (29 Jan, 2015). I am sure not many people has used them yet including myself. I will update this post again when we have conclusion how these PC performs.
CleanFlight supports RGB LED strip, which is really great. In this post I will show you how I setup and configure LEDs in Naze32 Cleanflight. Same should work for CC3D too.
RGB LED does not only help you identify your quadcopter easier, it can also indicate many flight data using different colours, such as battery level warning (voltage alarm), flight mode indicator, orientation lights, RSSI singal strength, thrust levels etc.
