This is cool and I'm tempted. However I was disappointed to see that Quads these days are still using the ESC abstraction;
ISTM that there would be much benefit and savings from a tighter integration, or at least a better digital and bidirectional ESC protocol (yes, I did checkout OneShot and MultiShot - not it).
Hi, this is my boot-strapped side project that I started this semester alongside my classes. I'd be happy to answer any questions here.
Thanks for submitting. This should probably be a "Show HN".
Would it be kosher to resubmit with the correct title from the get-go?
You can email the mods (see Contact link in the footer) to see how they would like to handle it. They're very responsive.
This is very cool! We used to have a similar one at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL (http://lis.epfl.ch/) How many people and how much time did it take to design and prototype it?
I'm working on HoverBot with a friend at a different university, but I did all the design and prototyping work on this quadcopter over the course of 2-3 months.
Looks like a nice micro quad. Have you considered sending out some examples for reviewers (Flitetest on YT as an example) ?
It might be worth it marketing wise.
This is really awesome. Did you learn to built quadcopter by yourself or did you got it from your university?
