That's because we employed all of the techniques mentioned here, and they work. By mounting the remote receiver away from the main receiver with a different antenna orientation, the odds of experiencing signal fade from signal reflection or antenna polarization are substantially reduced. You also need to make sure your first.

Once you have the motors and props balanced separately, you can mount the props on the motors and use a seismic or vibration app on your phone to test each arm of the tricopter. You should make sure to memorize the relationship between airplane controls and quadcopter controls because throughout the rest of this tutorial I will often be using these terms interchangeably; and this is the same for many other sites. David is an expert pilot.

Pocket AVR Programmer Hookup Guide - You will probably want to orient each motor so that the wire leads point down the quadcopter arm.

I noticed that I skimmed some areas a bit lightly when shooting the video, but I hope people still find it useful. Only took an hour to get it right! It turns out that the pinout for what I think is called the isp header was upside down from what I thought. Even the motors sound smoother. I like it a tad higher, but man it flies so much better. Hi David, thanks for the Video. It helped me alot to setup mi Tri. Each motor with esc spins up, when plugged directly into the receiver. The receiver test shows perfect setup. Do you have any by chance? Thanks to your answer and some goole-research I found the answer: I needed to trim down trottle a little bit. Do you have any ideas? Would love to see a simple but more efficient way to share thoughts and ideas about your products and contribution. I thought I liked the twitchy responsive thing. Looking at my footage though, it was jerky and crazy. Also hard to keep anything in frame for any length of time. Thinking ahead is proving to be much more enjoyable and smooth. The way I was set up before was like turning the cyclic and rudder on or off, there was no variable input. Glad I tried it out. Thankful for the wait on the setup video. It allowed me time to get the experience of playing with settings so that I had a basis for comparison. Yeah, this thing is fun! Hi David I have a question about the expo configuration. When you say that you use it on all the control surfaces, does it include throttle? I was setting up my radio lately and had this doubt. Other than that, great tutorial, it helped me to adjust my board better. When I remove the energy plug I must wait a few minute, than I can put the plug into again. The board works for a few seconds than it crashs again. I am trying to get my first tricopter up and running but am having trouble with my kk2 board. Have tried and retried with no success. I have flashed and re flashed with steveis 1. First off I got all the settings done per your video and the receiver test showed connectivity and function. However, in the end, when all was said and done, and I powered up the system, there was no actual powering of the motors or servo. I tried to check all but had no success. I am at a total loss. Can you give me some direction? I have no clue where to go from here. Thanks so much for your time. Thanks for the response David. I figured out my problem and have had two successful hover flights. Actually, when I first completed the build and the kk2 setup, I was unaware of the last step,,,,arming the board. Sounds crazy simple now but at the time I was not aware. I had never flown a multicopter. So, I re-flashed the board and started over. When I started over I questioned some setup options i. Once I had my mistakes corrected and knew about arming all came together. It was a learning experience but I have it now. And it is a wonderful feeling to get it in the air. I hope that this post helps others that have maybe had my same experience. It was a struggle at the end but all in all very fun. I look forward to 2 Thanks David for all the information that you have place out there for all to learn from. He made the flashing step a breeze. I have builded a new Tricopter as yours. P 120 I 65,the yaw is 60,the same about P I. So the tricopter do not appear the vibtation until I have set the value as above. I hope you tell the things about above, I speak English a bit,please do not mind,thank you david so much!

I may try another landing gear yaw mount or go with something else. Tighten the screws until they are quite snug, but be careful not to tighten them so much that they crack the body plate or strip the threads in the arms. Each of the motors are powered by three leads from the Q Brain. Take a look at the pictures below for clarification. However, there is no easy way to tell which order is correct. The radio antenna will be dangling out the front of the quadcopter.
