Here are my settings for Repetier 1.6.1. I have used these settings through all the versions over the past year on my DaVinci 1.0 3D printer. Repetier is a powerful aftermarket software used to control the printer. It voids the warranty and if used wrong could damage things. Use at your own risk! With these…
I came across this app today and was instantly intrigued. Why? because it appears to allow you to unlock advanced features like autonomous waypoints and auto-takeoff and land, and other things that really take your Dji to the next level. While I haven’t personally tried the app because I tend to use Pixhawk, it looks…

I got a surprise today when my mini-quad went out of control on my desk. I had just installed new Clean Flight firmware on my Acro Naze32 and just set up the radio settings when I turned off the transmitter it set the quad into a run away and spun up to full speed in…
Short update here. Essentially, just waiting on a new GPS to arrive. The last GPS got struck by a blade when it rolled over during maiden 1. I did accomplish getting telemetry and minmosd working. Because this Quanum Nova APM is not a standard unit, its mapping of the pinouts differs slightly and when I…
Small update here. I attempt a flight, but it crashed immediately from what I think is due to bad PID settings. There is minor damage to the GPS. AUW with 2500mAh 3S battery is 998g. Without battery is 810g. Outstanding TO-DO list -PIDS -evaluate RF noise for RF interference abatement, LCfilter/torroid placement, planning on…

I am looking for a replacement controller now. This…
