Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

I've got them to work, you just have to leave them much longer IIRC. They flash to say they're in bind mode in 4sec, but you have to leave them quite a bit longer before they'll actually bind... there's no indicator for when they actually go into bind mode, but it's about 20-30 seconds. Also, the ti...

Re: ebay gear motors

I used motors similar to these on one of my Nanos (Nudge) and they're nice but I found them painfully slow. According to the specs though these may actually be geared faster, in which case they could be quite useable.

Re: The smart ant's and flea's

Smallest in antweights and fleas.. but there have been two Nano walkers :L I found 3 legs to be the optimum balance between smoothness and size, but yours seems pretty small as is.

Re: NanoTwo Kits

Hmm, sounds like one of the motor driver chips might have died (happens either when the motor wires short together or the power wires short to the motor wires). Ship it back to me and I'll repair it for you.

Re: Problem with transmitter

The NanoTwo has an onboard BEC and onboard mixing. All you need to run the kit is a 2S battery and a DSM2 transmitter.

Re: Nanoweight Parts

Came across these recently: http://www.banggood.com/Tarot-MT1104-4000KV-Brushless-Motor-With-A-Pair-Of-Propeller-For-Multirotor-p-1046204.html There are quite a few tiny brushless around, but these are the first I've seen with sensible mounting holes. Could be good for a nano spinner or brushless an...

Re: Build Diary for a new antweight

Could always just stick another resistor in parallel with one of them to half the resistance on that side. Might bring it within trim range at least.

Re: Build Diary for a new antweight

Yeah, you need to use different values of resistor sometimes to get the trim sorted... 2.2k and 1.8k or a similar ratio would probably sort it
