Hey Guys,

I have been guilty of posting a lot of ideas on the forum, and building few of them. So I decided to get this one built (mostly) before sharing here.

This design combines a lot of independent ideas into one, so bear with me.

First, I am still a fan of the I or H frame configuration - always have been. And I have a gut-level distaste for the mounds of electrical spaghetti that you normally find on our quads. So the core of this design is a fuselage ...

It's proven to be very resilient and stable indoors. Survived many ~20 ft falls onto concrete.

Hi Folks;

Adding lights to your quad can serve a variety of functions, but primarily they will be used to aid the RC pilot in orientation of the craft in a flight environment that does not utilize First Person View (FPV). As a result we want to select our color scheme and layout with that end in mind. I personally selected a warm white set of lights for the forward arms, (arms one and four) and purple light strips for the two aft arms (two and three). With this layout, I can readily ...

Hello everybody

I have my Typhoon since one week so it's time to put some picture here.
It takes me about 10h of assembly and soldering to be ready to flight !! I think it should be faster to make it but I made my own power and receiver harness, so....
The configuration of the AQ32 is easy with the step by step guide but there are differences between pin number in the wiki and the AQ32 I have (for receiver).

So when you receive it, it's more or less like that ...

GPS module with the default settings ie port speed is 9600, by the way what is the default speed in AQ for Serial1 port? 57600?

Set the port speed 9600 in AP_GPS_UBLOX::init() (AP_GPS_UBLOX.cpp)

Code:

FastSerial *fs = (FastSerial *)_port;
fs->begin(9600)
delay(100);

in the AP_GPS_UBLOX.cpp after the line _send_pubx("$PUBX,41,1,0003,0001,38400,0");
