INDIVIDUAL control of the engines

Post by DoHe »

Hello All, :D

I need to controll each engine seperatley. We are planing to make a Hoovercraft out of the Drone. : :mrgreen:
I would like to be able to address each individual motor seperatly from a python script.

For instance, I would like to tell M1 to turn at 50%, while M2 and M3 should turn at 30% and M4 and 10%.
How would I have to change the C-Firmware and the python Code to be able to do that?
Please help me! THANKS a lot! :)

I do believe a simple search of the forum can net you much information on this subject...

Here Marcus explains what needs to be done.
Here tobias explains what to do.
Here Slaxx points to some specific files.

After you've made the hovercraft (which sound pretty cool), you might want to post it on Hackster.io for greater visibility!
