Good to see more people getting into it! I'm new as well, but people here are super helpful. Perhaps we shall meet on the field of battle!

Re: A quick question about Brushless Motors, Feat. Spinner Design.

That's really good advice, as always. I'll draw one up tomorrow using that plan!

With the disc you pictured, did you start with a spiral or with a circle? I feel like the spiral shape is more 'elegant' but I can foresee possible problems with engagement. What are your thoughts?

Re: Devo 7E Transmitter

It's definitely in the right mode. I followed the instructions very closely! The first issue I've run into was that the cable supplied was not a USB cable. It appears to be an audio cable: http://i.imgur.com/D8JfEND.jpg I did, as a last resort, try connecting it to my computer's Microphone socket. I...

Re: University of Greenwich Open day - Saturday July 1st

Is there any more news? I'll need to book time off work relatively soon if I've any chance of attending.

Re: Devo 7E Transmitter

Hi there guys, I bought a Devo 7e to use with my antweight I'm building - but I'm having some issues installing the firmware that makes it compatible with the NanoTwo. The issue I'm having is that my computer isn't registering it when I plug it in, so DfuSe can't see it - I've tried different cables...

Re: A quick question about Brushless Motors, Feat. Spinner Design.

Right, so I'm at the point of designing the actual blade, and after slaving away at AutoCAD I have come up with something that looks reasonable. It's based on a spiral and the dimensions are in mm. Does this seem reasonable? If I've not overlooked anything I'll order some! The only issue I can think...

Re: A quick question about Brushless Motors

After careful consideration, I went for the Redcon 2204s as recommended by Shakey. I'm in CAD as we speak, designing a blade. However, I have no way of precisely taking the measurements for the mounting onto the motor - does anyone have any advice on how to handle this problem? I can't find the dime...
