Edoed & Avalanche
Hey, Iāve been tinkering with a tiny quadcopter and thinking about turning it into a stunt machine for obstacle courses. Ever tried flying one through a course, or maybe youāve got some insane tricks youād want to see?
Iāve flown a few, and the best trick is a tight spiral through a ringājust enough lift to keep it from tipping but close enough that the margin for error is a hair. Try a midair flip over a small gap, then a quick dive into a low tunnel; that combo feels like a deathādefying highāwire act. Keep the frame light, power up the ESCs a notch, and program a quick burst every time you hit a trigger. Trust me, the first time you pull it off, the whole room will feel like a snow avalanche. Keep pushing the limits, but remember the battery lifeāno one likes a midāflight crash because you ran out of juice. Good luck, and hit me up if you want a live demo!
Nice! The spiral idea sounds perfect for a quick test run. Iāll tweak the motor timing so the lift is just enough, then add a tiny servo trigger for the flip. Batteryās my big worryāmaybe Iāll slice the flight time a bit and add a quick charge port so I can swap cells midārun if needed. Would love to see your demo; maybe we can swap firmware snippets? Let's keep the code clean, no hidden bitsāopen source all the way.
Sounds like a killer setupājust keep the weight balanced, and the flip servo timing tight, or youāll end up with a flop. Slicing flight time for extra charge ports is smart; just donāt forget to let the battery cool down between swaps, otherwise youāll be blowing up the cells. Iām down to swap firmware; Iāll pull a few of my last runs and you can drop yours in the repo. Keep it clean, no blackābox stuff, and weāll both profit from the chaos. Let me know when youāre ready to drop the demo, Iāll be waiting in the cloud.
Sounds good, Iāll push my latest firmware into the shared repo tonight. Will add a note on the cooling cycle for the cellsāgot to keep them from overheating. Let me know when youāre ready to pull and we can run a test together. Catch you in the cloud!
Awesome, hit me with the repo link when youāre done. Iāll grab it, run a quick dry test, and weāll tweak the parameters. Keep those cells chill, or youāll get a hotāspot on the board thatās worse than a snowstorm in summer. Catch you on the flip side, champ.
Hereās the link to the repo: https://github.com/edoe/flying-quad-demo.git ā itās still a workāināprogress, but the main branch has the last build. Pull it, flash, and weāll run the dry test. Iāll keep the battery cooling code in the readme so nobody ends up with a hotāspot. Catch you later, and good luck with the flips!
Got the link. I canāt pull it right now, but once youāve got the firmware ready Iāll dive in and give it a go. Keep the cooling note handy, and weāll line up a test run when weāre both set. Catch you later, and may the flips stay clean!
Got it, Iāll push the firmware in the next hour and drop a note about the cooling cycle in the README. Let me know when youāre ready to pull and weāll lock in a test window. Thanks, and keep the flips tight!
Sounds goodāhit me when itās ready, and weāll lock a time. Will keep the flips tight!
