Assembly
Frame
- Basic assembly guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8ALzUluyXM
- An other assembly guide: http://www.cardella.tk/2014/09/fpv250-quadcopter-build.html
Configure FCU: CC3D Atom
- Install OpenPilot GCS (install of openpilot fails but openpilotgcs is working) https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/Downloading+and+Installing+the+Ground+Control+Station
- Hardware setup: https://wiki.openpilot.org/display/WIKI/CopterControl+-+CC3D+-+Atom+Hardware+Setup
- Full introduction to building a quad with the CC3D https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYsWjANuAm4r-E61stLchCR4bzY3NmDNh
Batteries
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Multicopter/wiki/power
- LiPo are dangerous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWdnjLqVWw
- C rating : the higher, the higher current you can draw http://www.rcheliwiki.com/C_rating
- C*Capacity in Ah=Current
- Current: 20C * 2.2Ah = 44A
- Power: 44A * 11.1V = 488.4W
- S is the number of cells in series, and is representing the tension (1S=3.7V, 2S=7.4, 3S=11.1V, ...). P is in parallel. Usually LiPo are in series and P=1
- Balancing: Cells need to be a the same charge level so we can avoid overcharging.
- It's a good idea to always use the balance mode to charge a multiple cells battery

- Use the charger to check and rebalance cells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AChoy_PsVEg
