Re: [Paparazzi-devel] ROTORCOPTER FOR 500g camera

[Rui Costa]

Hello all,

Simon, thank you for the info.

After reading a lot, I will build something like the Mikrokopter Hexacopter XL. Have 40min of autonomy, so I think I will be capable of 20 min flight for some payload types.

Maybe we can join efforts to develop one with a paparazzi board (maybe Lisa/L with booz IMU or aspirin IMU). What you think? We can create on wiki a specific page just for that kind of rotorcraft.


I saw a lot of videos on the web with Mikrokopters platforms and the stability for video filming is incredible. I was thinking if paparazzi has the same stability capability? (I think yes)


About the I2C controllers. What you think will have a better performance? Make the I2C Mikrokopter controlers and modify the paparazzi code to run it with I2C bus or buy commercial available ESC's?



Cheers
Rui Costa

In my opinion, the main concern about coax configuration is the
efficiency of the lower rotors, which, from working in the wash of the
top rotors is greatly reduced. The scilab script I made for computing
the mixing matrix assumes equal efficiency for all rotors. In the case
of a coax configuration, you'll probably need a different Ct for the
top and bottom rotors.
