Jcb's Quad copter Project,

So flashing went successfully, they're much better with the new firmware and the throttle works properly.

I kinda almost finished my new arm,



but as you can tell it's unfinished,
I had a little problem with it in the CNC. a structural issue that I'll learn from on the next model!


Each side takes me about 5-6 minutes to do, but changing the tools and re-finding zero can take ages. I need to develop a manufacturing process :) and what order I do operations in.

It would be easy to make with a rotary tale and tailstock, but not really worth getting one for just these parts. Have you done any analysis to see if they're strong enough?

[jcb121]

I can stand on it without it deforming and I weight 90kgs, I think they'll be strong enough :)

and I was thinking this would be easier with a 4th axis.

first class analysis me thinks
