Edoed & Avalanche
Hey, I’ve 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 you’ve got some insane tricks you’d want to see?
I’ve flown a few, and the best trick is a tight spiral through a ring—just 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 death‑defying high‑wire 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 life—no one likes a mid‑flight 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. I’ll tweak the motor timing so the lift is just enough, then add a tiny servo trigger for the flip. Battery’s my big worry—maybe I’ll slice the flight time a bit and add a quick charge port so I can swap cells mid‑run if needed. Would love to see your demo; maybe we can swap firmware snippets? Let's keep the code clean, no hidden bits—open source all the way.
Sounds like a killer setup—just keep the weight balanced, and the flip servo timing tight, or you’ll end up with a flop. Slicing flight time for extra charge ports is smart; just don’t forget to let the battery cool down between swaps, otherwise you’ll be blowing up the cells. I’m down to swap firmware; I’ll pull a few of my last runs and you can drop yours in the repo. Keep it clean, no black‑box stuff, and we’ll both profit from the chaos. Let me know when you’re ready to drop the demo, I’ll be waiting in the cloud.
Sounds good, I’ll push my latest firmware into the shared repo tonight. Will add a note on the cooling cycle for the cells—got to keep them from overheating. Let me know when you’re ready to pull and we can run a test together. Catch you in the cloud!
Awesome, hit me with the repo link when you’re done. I’ll grab it, run a quick dry test, and we’ll tweak the parameters. Keep those cells chill, or you’ll get a hot‑spot on the board that’s worse than a snowstorm in summer. Catch you on the flip side, champ.
Here’s the link to the repo: https://github.com/edoe/flying-quad-demo.git – it’s still a work‑in‑progress, but the main branch has the last build. Pull it, flash, and we’ll run the dry test. I’ll keep the battery cooling code in the readme so nobody ends up with a hot‑spot. Catch you later, and good luck with the flips!
Got the link. I can’t pull it right now, but once you’ve got the firmware ready I’ll dive in and give it a go. Keep the cooling note handy, and we’ll line up a test run when we’re both set. Catch you later, and may the flips stay clean!
