These tech overviews will explain tech concepts behind major copter subsystems that the experts never explain (or problems/issues they conveniently ignore when telling you how easy things are). Gdrive

List of tech notes:

  • 7a_tech_overview_#5_RC-RX-FC_.docx. Describes the entire signal flow from the RC sticks/switches (inputs/mixes/outputs) to the movement/mode commands in the FC. This is the first tech overview. I wrote after spending weeks trying to understand the settings for inputs, mixes, outputs for edgetx tx12. After I finally figured it out, I simply could not believe that in all the tutorials (youtube videos, etc), not a single expert explained how this really works. This tech note explains. Explains the chaos of the RC UI design.
