Topic: Motor/ESC and sensor mounts for ArduSoar radian
Proposal type: Hardware , Software , Other : _________________
Description:
I need a new motor due to a crash from a bad autotune result. The motor shaft is bent and cannot be replaced easily. I’d also like to try out the new VimDrones AM32 DroneCAN ESC and ensure it works on 4.6. Finally, I’d like a bit of money to cover 3D print costs for making a better flight controller mount, as well as printing a mount for the Trisonica 3D airspeed sensor. I don’t own a printer, and there is a local makerspace that has printing available for a small fee. The 3D printed files will be open source.
This platform is also used for development of SmartRTL in steep terrain and general 4.6 flight testing.
Planned amount $$ (USD):
- Motor $44
- 2x Vimdrones AM32 DroneCAN 50A ESC S50 $21x2 + $16.05 shipping
- 3D printed flight controller mount and 3D airspeed mounts ~ $20 print fees
RangeFinder - $100-$500 - I am reaching out to vendors for a sponsorship (lightware, benwake)COVERED by Craig
Estimated time for completion: 3 weeks
Benefits: More flight testing on 4.6
Since January, I’ve flown 18 times on this vehicle, and have discovered bugs/improvements.
