Information

  • In the hobby, you don't say "drone", you'd rather say: multicopter, multirotor, quadcopter, hexacopter, fixed wing, etc etc

Battery

Parallel charging
  • Don't charge batteries that have a lot of difference in tension (>15V) as too much current will from from one to an other more than the battery can hold (usually 2-3C)
  • Don't charge batteries with different cell count (4 cells with 4 cells)
  1. Check all batteries with a LiPo checkers
  2. Order them by tension, group them accordingly
  3. Before chargin, plug all the batteries on the parallel board WITHOUT the balance plug. When the batteries equalize, some important current can flow throught them, the balance plug may burn if the board is not current limited
  4. Start charging and look at the cells tension to see they are all pretty much the same (~1-2V)
  5. Monitor the whole process, never charge unattended
  • Regularly check batteries temperature, in case of any sign of heat, turn off the charger immediatly
  • In case of smoke, remove the charger from power immediatly
  • Don't srpay water, you can use dirt or sand to limit propagation of fire

Racing

Failsafe with d4r-ii

  • It's very very important to set the failsafe of the d4r-ii correctly
  • By default it'll retain the last value of all channels, thus contuying on its course and prevent the fc to enter failsafe
  • Procedure:
    • Bind the receiver (bind mode on tx, turn on rx with the button pressed, turn off everything)
    • turn on the rx only, press the button once
