PNP controller preview 1

I uploaded this on my 'community' page a while ago but for some reason CZcams gives no exposure to those posts when they include a video, and sure enough this only gained a miserable 5 views in 9 days, and I think two of them were mine. So even though the content is not properly explained yet, the lack of attention is leading me to set it as a normal video to get some more dopamine from views. ...

Ardupilot vs motor failure testing
zhlédnutí 29KPřed 9 měsíci
Although the results didn't show much conclusively, I think it's safe to say losing one motor doesn't faze Ardupilot in any significant way provided there is still enough thrust, and the prop direction doesn't matter either.

This pilot displays some great skills! I love his turns when he is using the cenrifugal force to handle this bucket is such a smooth and controlled way. Thanks for the great video and the good camera job! It was a pleasure to watch this!!
Is it work for ps3
I don't know. But if the PS3 can recognize generic off-brand gamepads, I think so.
@@iforce2d thanks
After all these years, still awesome videos! One question - if you had receiver connected, why it did not trigger motor when you were playing with sticks on transmitter?
Because the flight controller wasn't armed.
I need to develop similar set of skills, so awesome.
I am not able to access the sketches,please help
Fixed, try again.
Yes, thankyou
Also found baby sparrow that had fallen from tiles/roof rafters,, couldn't fly/jump back up and no way out to wild,,, so after few hours and no luck finding nest/parents i took it in fed it over 5?ish days (bread/mince/beansprout/currents/grapes/crushedseeds/sardines/chicken/egg/flys/worms) (all of these dipped in water + water bowl on table ,,, and i just cycled through them depending on what it wanted/ignored),, it slept in a rolled up wooly sock (treated it just like a nest , so was actually very clean (sock needs to be short/rolled up so it can't burrow),,, i put large house plant on some newspawper on a table & it liked chilling in leaves/learning to balance, and would fly onto me when i entered room (it was about 5 meters away from window, but didn't care/fly into it) (imprinted a bit? which probably can avoid if smart) anyway after few days of walkin around garden/it going to bush/tree and flying back to me it could clearly fly quite well (just needed to be forced/hungry),,, so i let it out this morning & went back inside for 2 hours, and now i think its gone (lots of sparrows around our house so i really hope they accept it/teach it) but i did used to call it back with high pitched whistle, but ig its gone so far now (or been eaten!) that it can't hear me,,, oh well \o/ am well aware that mortality rates are very high for sparrows (and pmuch all birds in nature), let alone adopted ones,,, but yea it was interesting experience & better to try to help it than leave it, because ive seen dead ones in loft before, anyway hope they are ok/chillin, this vid/comments was really helpful so thankyou :)
nice video man😎
Esto lo que estaba buscando pero necesito el codigo
Why didn't you just cut an opening in the bottom of the original canopy ? Seems like a pretty simple modification.
Mainly because I didn't want to ruin it for resale.
You see I saw DCS, so I'm interested if you will try to play that with an air controller?
Yeah I'm using my air controller for DCS, XPlane and Arma3, it works great but still need to reach for the keyboard sometimes. The setup procedure for those is pretty similar as what I showed in this video (just use iBus inputs instead of PWM) so I didn't bother covering it this time, but I did make a video years ago that you might find interesting. czcams.com/video/1HOykcWysjM/video.html That was not iomixer though, so the program needed to be recompiled every time I made a change, and other features like wireless head-tracking would take a lot of work to set up. Hmmm.... I actually haven't tried head-tracking in the flight sims yet, will have to do that sometime....
@@iforce2d It definitely would be an immersion boost. Don't worry about having to reach for the keyboard I've got some actual controls and still have to reach. Forgive me if I'm forgetting something but I would suggest trying to tie that head tracking into a camera that rotates on your actual RC planes. I bet that would be an experience.
Some “expert” on Reddit told me that they only have 300m of range and I am intending to fly high speed jets on this thing. I don’t think I’ll need 5km, but I definitely need half that. Should I be worried? Is there a way to extend the range? Is there a good non-spektrum radio that has 10ch and is as bulletproof as the i6x? New to the hobby.
The only real answer is to test it, regardless of what brand or model you're using. fwiw I'm comfortable with these up to about 2km, but I live in a very quiet radio area.
Your sketches link is not working. idk if its just my pc or what but it wont open. please leave a link to where i can find the sketch.
Try again, it just needed https instead of http. CZcams broke hundreds of my links like this a while ago, I have yet to find all the ones that need updating.
@@iforce2d thank you so much!
The final shot wasn't cross-eyed, what you see there is the third eyelid opening. Yes, cats have three eyelids.
Awsum video Dude !!! Thankyou heaps !!!😉🙃😎
Must play with my iomixer
That's a pretty cool application for the iomixer, I've just been using an Xbox controller which has it's downsides. Do you think you'll develop this use case further, particularly around force feedback? Considering the iomixer's application is usually to control various motors I can see it being suited, but I think a lot of DIY wheels use FOC BLDC motors which might be a bit much for iomixer? However I can mention I have played around with DIY head tracking, I first tried the same kinda dead reckoning integration yaw control method as you and hated it, was difficult to control and made me nauseous. I switched to a BNO055 IMU, it gives precalculated absolute Euler vectors so worked great for yaw and always returned to center thanks to the magnetometer but you do have do a couple full rotations before it self calibrates but you can move your head really quickly and it tracks which helped me want to actually look around. I used that for a while but found I was still often slightly nauseous and/or straining myself to keep my head in awkward positions to both have the game camera in the right position but also still be able to see the monitor. Heavy use of the re-center key helped. I currently use (solely for BeamNG) an IMU in combination with OpenTrack and a retroreflective ArUco marker for full 6-DOF tracking with a HMD (pretty much poor man's Oculus Rift), really immersive but also super useful in cockpit view to just see around the A pillar and over the hood by just quickly moving your head. Couple downsides though, it's two separate tracking systems, no sensor fusion, and thus two systems that can drift out of sync and screw up the vector math so two separate re-center hotkeys that I regularly use. Also you can't look backwards or outside the tracking camera FOV as you lose translational tracking. And of course it takes like half an hour to setup and my rubbish code crashes after about an hour or two. Also experimented with stereo inside out tracking in OpenCV for room scale, but it's a massive time sink, was tethered and never got it working in game, but did give some nice high resolution larger than room scale tracking. *I haven't bought a room scale VR system because then I'd just play it all the time and never get anything done, this way I have to earn my gaming time.
Nice video, thanks for shay🤩
NICE! I just finished turning an Elliptical exercise thing into a game controller.... It's SO amazing to walk, jog, run in STALKER. Makes gaming SO much more immersive and fun! STALKER has only digital inputs so it was a simple first game, with no quick travels. I think next game will have to have an analog in so i can walk the same speed as my character. I don't think i will do head tracking tho. I bob around too much and i just have a thumb stick at the top of one of the arm things that allow u to do the look when u need to. (DON"T BUY CHEEP ANALOG THUMB STICKS) lolz.
Fascinating. Enjoyed seeing how head tracking was integrated. For Apple devices, if could emulate a bluetooth game controller, then think you'd might be able to edit program logic and operate the controller without needing to reboot modes.
Was that 'pigged onto the front' of you cap?
Iomixer is awesome, can’t wait to build a few of them
thank you! I tested your sketch on two different modules and it worked fine, SYN6988 chip
Thanks for the feedback. Usually the only comments I get is when something doesn't work :D
Following along with interest ............ a bit off-topic but curious where you buy your NRF transceivers. Most I end up with are short on range, even with suggested fixes. Price seems irrelevant as some charge what they want for most clone regardless of quality.
Usually AliExpress these days. The ones I'm using in this video are quite short range. Maybe 30 meters in open air if you're lucky, or through one interior wall (no brick or dense cladding). So basically they are only useful within the same room. For the 'long range' version you want the one with a metal can on it, they typically go by the name of "E01-ML01DP5". For those, it can sometimes help to have a 10uf cap across the GND/VCC but I have just as many where it seems to make no difference. The iomixer has a 10uf cap near those pins anyway. For the long range models the antenna quality comes into play.
@@iforce2d ok....will check on the one you referenced to....Thanks Jorgo
Could you use a compass for the yaw? I think that would be more absolute and would have less drift. Maybe combining the sensors if a compass doesn't have enough granularity.
Yeah I think a compass might work ok. There's none onboard though, and they require much more setup/calibration.
Really great explanation. Those still watching, you did include the videos at the start of Mudrunner, that counts 🙂 Nice setup.
the sketch seems to have disappeared

@@iforce2d thamk youuuu
Head tracking just makes it so much more immersive and aren't the graphics just astounding in these simulations now?
Yes, you might even say they look.... so real :)
Cool stuff Chris
Great video! I did the RC controller thing with an Arduino. Feels much better to me than a gamepad for simulators. Would love to develop a hybrid controller with more buttons and a separate brake lever.
Yeah, the average gamepad doesn't feel very precise and often has a huge deadzone in the middle, not to mention the unnatural feeling of using a stick to steer a car. The iomixer has 37 inputs so it could be used to set up a nice 'simpit', but I'm not so serious about driving games that I'll be doing that... I think. The RC controller was an easy middle ground that works well enough for me.
So light and gracеful ❤❤❤ Like weightless. And no unnecessary movements. Beauty
It's amazing how high cats can jump from a standing position. Compared to their height, a human would probably have to jump to the 2nd floor to match a cat.

When you threw it at the wall, did the gyro try and right itself before impact?

You are like a magician! I had incredibly hard time with these steppers! Thank you!
What a BEAUTIFUL spotted kitty! I love watching animals run, and "pounced" on this video to see the slow-mo. Thank you for posting it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Some on said cats are no bigger and a garden gnome but could kill you with the right placement of a claw.
A dog can never be so graceful.
I have learned my stepper motor control in this site long time ago. This is an excellent tutorial!! I hope you update the driver with a new one

Cats are, beautiful, elegant and classy and it stands out even more in slow motion. Notice that if the cat is not running, it places its back paws exactly where the front paws were. I love cats.
Elegant and smooth
