XLPower Specter 700 First Flight and Crash (ESC shutdown)
Переглядів 2,5 тис.3 роки тому
Still don't know what happened. ESC temp was around 120 degs so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I need more esc. Running 700mx with castle 120. Governor gain was on low. (15). Only thing I can think of is bad esc endpoints, but even that probably would not shut down the esc. "Landing" voltage was 34%. Any ideas? Follow up: esc twitches at throttle hold even after resetting endpoints half a do...

Code please
Could you share the code or at least which software you've been using?
Castle cremations 🤔😢
Wow
God Bless you! God bless all my brothers and sisters in Christ in Thailand
That was just a hard landing 👍🏻
Take that castle and throw it in the bin..buy a HobbyWing instead and you will be golden. A lot of castle esc’er has caught fire 🔥 I would never take that chance
Hey looks intersting, have you ever tried realsense Intel camera or dual camera for the same purpose as kind of SLAM or something, I think those sensors can be helpful too, Nice project :)
squeak
Notice any difference with the upgrades?
You flied with switch blades, that’s the problem. I crasched my kraken flying with switchblades! 😡🤔
Hi all ended up finding a faulty wire on the ESC that was damaged. Running a ice 160 now and had no issues. 120 is enough for 1700 rpm, but if you run 2200 rpm or similar for hard 3D you need 160.
Sorry to see that happen mate. Beautiful machine and great flying. I know some people have trouble with castle ESC’s, maybe try hobbywing? Also as others stated- a capacitor or pulse defender would have bought you a little time to bring the machine back
I’ll checkout the pulse defender never head of it. Thanks
What's the flight times
Little heli got me back in a month ago, omp m2. Now I have a fleet lol
Do u have an auxiliary battery
I use an extern BEC incase of esc failure. Helped save the heli this time. I was able to get it right side up before stalling.
It was those shitty blades man.... switch or AKA bitch blades always glitch out your esc.
Try setting the cutoff voltage to lowest it will go that stoped cut outs for me
Hey. Do you fly with 6S??
No I don’t, 1700 is to high for that. That being said 6s rpm would be more like 1000rpm.
@@Zac6361 thanks for your answer
Great 😉👍
Is that a new ESC? Has it ever been in a crash? I’m thinking that maybe an 160-200amp ESC might have been a better. Also, be very skeptical of flying anything that glitches or doesn’t perform within spec before hand. Also some run a capacitor to prevent ‘brown outs’, that might help. Nice helicopter, hated to see if it the ground, best of luck my good man.
Randy Thanks, I re did the wiring the pull-up resistor had snapped for temerity. Made sure to protect it better this time. I’m running a 160HV now and flies great. The 120 may not have been the issue, but I did not want to risk it since I may have actually snapped the resistor after the crash fiddling with the esc.
@@Zac6361 I always hear these rules of thumb when sizing ESC: 120amp=550; 135amp=600; 160-200amp = 700; That is a nice heli. I am considering one of these for my first 700 next year.
@@soupnazi33 nice this is my first 700. 120 used to be standard now 160-200 is since some people want to run 2200 rpm and 14 pitch etc. Get 160 with fan. It runs very cool for me. I haven’t gone above 2050rpm yet. But 2200rpm would give me 20% headroom on the 160. Ideally you want 20-25% headroom at a minimum.
@@Zac6361 Nice. I'll probably be getting the YGE 205A as they are my preferred brand and don't have a HV model in the 160 range (jumps from 135 to 205). I'll probably be running around 2000 to 2100 headspeed. I was watching a freddy can fly video of him building this model and he was talking something about pinning the tail boom but I cannot find that step in the actual manual. Did you have to pin the tail boom (ie: put holes in it with some sort of metal pins)?

Carbon or titanium MH main shaft?
CurazyHeart this was carbon. I did break a carbon one after the electronics failed and feel out of sky. Not sure the titanium would have done better.
@@Zac6361 Board failure?
CurazyHeart my board keeps resetting randomly another follower recommended checking the electric connections so I need to do that. Actually this is the second board that I’ve had the problem. I need to get the mcpx back flying again. Been flying the 550 lately.
That's funny that the Nano S2 got you back flying again it got me back flying heli's again, I was flying planes for years then when Horizon came out with the old SR I got that and broke it to many times and retired it and got the MCPX and learned better flying with that, then quads got big with FPV and I went that way for years and got tired of trying to keep up with technology and cost of upgrading. Then I seen the Nano S2 performance along with the BL2 and here we are LOL
How's your Microheli body holding up? Mine after almost a month is doing good except for the tail has taken some hits but that's just me taking chances in my house, chipping paint and some cracking so my fix is flexible colored dance floor tape, works great and adds some protection.
TheToymanbb not bad same here I had the tail come out on a crash and hit the blades making a chip. I made a custom way the attach the canopy I’ll have to make a video showing it. It helps make taking it on and off easier. Do you ever have trouble with the main board resetting continually before takeoff? Mine keeps doing this. Fell out of the ski once even. Maybe the battery is bad or something.
@@Zac6361 I did use some good clear tape to attach the back of the main body to where it meets the tail and that makes it a lot more rigid and very simple to do without adding weight. Yes my original board started doing that then it would have trouble binding with the transmitter and Horizon replaced it under warranty and I used the bad board until I crashed it blowing out the tail FET or tail motor then I had to choice but to swap it out and my second board has had no issues with well over 200 packs on it. I've noticed I've had to resolder wires out of 3 of my batterys at the plug because it wouldn't make contact and keep resetting the board. Check the wires for one that have worn out and broken connection.
If you pull lightly one each of the 3 individual wires behind the plug you'll notice that one of them will have some stretch to it indicating the bad connection.
I've had other small issues with it like the servo shakes but my fix is a small shot of break cleaner in the servo where the brushes and contacts are. That fixes it instantly without taking anything apart and lasts for hours of flight time. The other small issue I've had is sometimes when flying in my house I'll fly in stability mode because of small spaces and sometimes the gyros go nuts for a minute then it fixes itself and it happens out of the blue for no reason then it works great for hours then goes through the gyro hissy phase again.
The piroflips in real life can loose altitude much faster than in the sim. Do you agree?
abdon3000 I do find myself using more throttle in real life. Now most of the sim models have way more power(less bog) and higher head speed to match newer models. So I think that is the issue. I’m only running 1950 here. It floats a lot more at 2250 or 2400. Try turning down the head speed on the sim.
Nice flight. It must be the first video posted in UA-cam in 4-5 years with the 550 DFC as the star. I loved that model but quickly was replaced by DFC pro and then 550X
thank you! Yes it was short lived. So if I crash I have to upgrade to a new heli unfortunately(lots of money/not many parts around). Favorite color scheme hands down of the Trex 550 line up.
Awesome flying, seeing the new Microheli shell on your bird got me to buy one for mine, does the tail shell give it more strength than stock form or does it cause more problems knowing you have some good flight time and some crashes with it now.
TheToymanbb it’s very strong though I don’t think it increases durability since the it sits on the tail rod. So the carbon rod or frame are still week point. Worth the extra visibility.
@@Zac6361 it looks a lot more visible, I do like the Microheli bodies, swashes, grips, shafts and one way main gear sets. I've got like 100-150 flights on mine now and just replaced the stock frame and third tail boom. Nice bird to fly in the house and outside even in a small yard. I liked it so much I bought 2 more for backup
going to make something very similar, happy to see it is possible !
Hi this video is really cool. Are you using some kind of tool or application to do the mapping? Maybe I can do something similar with arrays in python Please someone answer maybe we can program together .
Humm, u talk so slow, I almost fall asleep
hello sir very nice video i want your help sir related to this project
Do you have a instructable for this mate?
Source files PLEASE?!
If the driving wheels lead instead of trail, the problem with carpet or crossing cables will go away.
Could you share the source files?
@Zachary I’m a senior think about attending Cal Poly. If I enjoy making projects like this robot (hardware + programming) would it be better to major in ME with a concentration on mechatronics or major in EE?
Can u share ur project at syedmusab96@gmail.com plzz
Hey i have troubles with tail blow outs during tic tocs and backward flying.Which gain do you have in the transmitter?
Y’all be careful out there 4 years ago my dad was put on life support bc he fell off a 250ft cliff
Hello, I have a doubt about map building. I have a dataset which contain range and bearing angle for landmarks.Now the robot observe same landmarks several time whennever it move or turn.From this data set how could I find out original location of the landmarks?
How can i draw the map based on the data from sensor? Could you share the source files?
Did you use a 9g servo? It was precise enough?
So let me ask you I am playing with the idea of an autonomous lawn mower and was thinking of using maybe a beacon and multiple antennas to provide location data as well as mark boundries is there a method other than gps that you would suggest? My goal would be to have a mower that mowes in straight lines and can adjust for terrain, I certainly don't want the random pattern aproach.
Hey, so do you solve the integration errors from the IMU using the encoder? Is the encoder still accurate after many turns/long distances?
Could you share the source files? I'm trying to build similar to this
Could you tell the components used?
This video talks through the components: ua-cam.com/video/TsM1figtt4c/v-deo.html
Could you use this to map the seat arrangement in a class room?
what microcontroller do u use ? Also can u tell me about the procedure to make this robot ?
This video explaining the hardware/design should help. Let me know if you still have any questions. ua-cam.com/video/TsM1figtt4c/v-deo.html
brother can u tell me can i use python in arduino ? and if i use ultrasonic sensor what problem or advantage i will have
Not easily, I think it has been done. The Arduino generally is less powerful, so running the high level python language will slow it down. Arduino uses C/C++ functions. Sonar sensors can be extremely noisy, much more so than the IR sensors. You wont get as accurate distance measurements. Lasers range finders are the ideal option, but expensive.
Sorry, but almost worthless. You really need to say what color the status light is because the viewer can't tell what color it is. A color narration would make all the difference in the world.
Bob Loesch, good idea. I might annotate it in, but for now here is the list. A Blue B Red C Red D Red E Purple F Purple G Red H Purple
Great, thanks Zac.
Wait one??? Yellow??? the chart doesn't list a yellow, only purple, flashing red, red, flashing blue and blue. Do you mean flashing red?
Just pulled it out of the case and checked. Your are right, I edited the last posts errors. Hope that helps. Now I need to go fly the little guy again.
This helps alot. I'm new to MB.
