Re: More powerful coreless motor

It worked! Kind of, it doesn't disconnect anymore which is huge progress but there is still up to a second of delay between controller input and rpm change. The delay gets bigger the longer the crazyflie has been running/how fast . Ill test further tomorrow! Thanks a lot for your help so far!

Re: More powerful coreless motor

More powerful coreless motor
