I am new into building and flying these drones, having only built and tested a fairly standard quadcopter so far. I am in the process of building a hexacopter and I have been using the Cube Orange as the flight controller. In order to setup the H6 configuration within mission planner, I have selected the 6 motors image and then clicked on the H-configuration. However, the black-dot has not turned up in the selection bubble…
Checking the parameter list, FRAME_CLASS is set to 2 and FRAME_TYPE is set to 3, which seems fine… but does this mean that the controller has H-6 pre-installed? If not, please guide me through what I must do. Thank you so much for your time.
As a follow up to my previous question, which configurations are currently available in Copter 4.2.1. Would H6 be included? If so how would I find the motor ordering diagrams?
Yea, I haven’t seen one either most likely because it’s not a supported frame type. FRAME_TYPE 3 is H4. If you set that with a Hex CLASS it will auto assign the outputs the same as X.
Custom motor mixing I suppose is an option or potentially just use Hex X depending on what it looks like.
