Again, a very good video. You sure know what you are doing and explaining it clearly too. Nothing bad to say, you get an A+ for everything. I learned something.
Let me join in tho late, to say your tutorial is very appealing in every aspect, technical info , presentation , storyline content...really great...wish u had a lot more views, again , bravo sir!
great information. i would like to know if it's possible to control 10 motors with a single flight controller, and if i could use 4 or 8 batteries in a single design?
Hello there! This is one of the best videos out there. Although I do have a question on Battery-ESC connections. Why didn't we use bullet connectors there? Plus batteries come with one XT60 connector. Every ESC has one of its one. So please if you can elaborate on this in a mini video it will of great help. A beginner here.
A common practice is to use a power distribution PC board, which I did because it was part of the frame kit that I used. You need a way to split high-amperage current from the battery to each of the four ESCs, so basically you're going from the XT60 connector to four pairs of wires going to the ESCs. The power distribution board has one pair of wires soldered to it with an XT60 connector coming from the battery, and the four pairs going directly to the ESCs (no connectors). Strictly speaking no bullet connectors are needed anywhere, but the ones on the motors make it easier to maintain if you need to remove a motor, and easy to reverse a motor's direction by swapping two of its leads.
Obviously there are some limits to how far you can scale it up but in general, yes you just need bigger parts. The radio receiver and flight controller don't really depend on the size of the drone.
Thanks for the video it is awesome. Got a question regarding motor rotation how do you change the direction of the rotation? Can you transpose each of those 3 wire in the motor to the esc connection. A bit confuse there. Thanks.
Hi Jan, I am building the drone , I am using SP racing F3 flight controller It is communicating wit the clean flight but my motor is not responding when I give throttle even though throttle is bar I moving in the clean light. Can you please help?
Unfortunately the added weight of any commonly-available solar panel, or even just the bare solar cells, would consume much more power to hover than the solar panel would produce so it would be a net loss.
Hey, first off, great video! I have a question, is LibrePilot only for the CC3D or can i also use for the NAZA V2? I now there is a DJI software for the NAZA but since there won't be any more upadates for that i trying to find another software.
old comment, but just in case you or anyone still needs it, if you take the device that is drawing power from the battery eliminator aka: voltage regulator module, the device that is drawing power from it, may be a motor, or a camera or flight controller, ect... take a look at the power requirements of that device. If it is not listed on the device itself, look at the data sheet. Just type in the model and name of the device, followed by "data sheet pdf", the information will be in that data sheet. You will want to know the voltage and current that the device is drawing at full load. Those are your numbers. So if you have a battery that is 12volts, and you have a motor that is pulling 5volts/3Amps, then that's what you want. If your motor is only pulling 3volts at 1Amp, you might end up burning it out.
I used a FlySky remote control, which is quite inexpensive but worked fine for me. The kind of remote controller you use is largely independent of the other design choices so for the most part you can choose any controller that suits your needs and budget.
I just adjusted the throttle until it held approximately still, and the throttle stick is not spring-loaded so it stays where I put it. But it's not a true altitude hold and the drone would eventually drift up or down. When it's flying close to the ground, as it was in some of the first flights, there's a degree of pseudo-altitude-hold from ground effect because the lift increases as it gets closer to the ground. That's nice for hovering but it's inconvenient when landing because you have to continually decrease the throttle or it will stop descending.
I want to make a good drone. 1. The drone can fly for 1-2 hours 2. Can fly above 200-300ml 3. It can fly with a weight of 1 kg 4. There will be cameras 5. There will be a remote control - What does it take to make it. How to make it. If anyone knows, please help
That sounds like a challenging project. Here's an online drone calculator that you might find helpful for weighing the many tradeoffs of weight, flight time, batteries, motors etc.: ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.php
I wants to make a drone bt not in common way..I wants to add some new or extra ordinary or innovative things in drone.. Can u give me some innovative idea that can I use in drone for my project..??

You sir are the leader in drone building tutorials, because you actually include all of the important information. Fantastic job on this series!
Again, a very good video. You sure know what you are doing and explaining it clearly too. Nothing bad to say, you get an A+ for everything. I learned something.
Thanks Edwin.
The Gods of South Park love this guy.
thank you for helping me build my drone.
Glad to help!
Another Excellent video; on to Part 3

loving your videos mate

Great presentation
fantastic tutorial, just that i want it !!!
Glad you found it useful.
Many thanks.
You are great. Thanksssssss

If I make a larger scale drone can I still use the same motherboard and receiver just bigger battery, esc, and motor?
Obviously there are some limits to how far you can scale it up but in general, yes you just need bigger parts. The radio receiver and flight controller don't really depend on the size of the drone.
hey! thanks for the video!!
Thanks for the video it is awesome. Got a question regarding motor rotation how do you change the direction of the rotation? Can you transpose each of those 3 wire in the motor to the esc connection. A bit confuse there. Thanks.
switch around the outside two bullet plugs connecting the motor and the esc.

Good job! One question, how is the connection about the pins and receiver controller? Thanks
Can we use li-ion batteries instead of li-po battery
please make a video on how to build a voice controlled drone
Great videos, thank you !

Could you add a solar panel on the drone to give it more battery life while its in the air the solar panel could keep the battery charged
Unfortunately the added weight of any commonly-available solar panel, or even just the bare solar cells, would consume much more power to hover than the solar panel would produce so it would be a net loss.
@@BrainRight thanks for your response

Which battery did you use?
is this arduino based drone?
How do you know what size battery eliminator to install? Will a 5v/3A work for this as well?
old comment, but just in case you or anyone still needs it, if you take the device that is drawing power from the battery eliminator aka: voltage regulator module, the device that is drawing power from it, may be a motor, or a camera or flight controller, ect... take a look at the power requirements of that device.

How much do the parts cost?
Which remote controller is that ?
I used a FlySky remote control, which is quite inexpensive but worked fine for me. The kind of remote controller you use is largely independent of the other design choices so for the most part you can choose any controller that suits your needs and budget.
Thanks for the video.
How do you achieve altitude hold when your left controller stick is not centered.
I just adjusted the throttle until it held approximately still, and the throttle stick is not spring-loaded so it stays where I put it. But it's not a true altitude hold and the drone would eventually drift up or down. When it's flying close to the ground, as it was in some of the first flights, there's a degree of pseudo-altitude-hold from ground effect because the lift increases as it gets closer to the ground. That's nice for hovering but it's inconvenient when landing because you have to continually decrease the throttle or it will stop descending.
