It would work with any standard cyclic servos, we are running the High Voltage version but most servos can run higher than 4.8V. The standard servo is 4.8V, but guys run them at 6V all day long with no issues. We do have a LIPO powering the DJI unit which normally run 7.4V, which in turn powers the servos plugged into the DJI unit. The RC receiver is also plugged into the DJI unit.
Pretty sure it would work on 6V. But you need to check with the folks at DJI just to be sure. Good Luck.
@Steveact1sb thanks for the fast response! Do you plug the 2S lipo directly into the DJI or do you use a BEC/Voltage regulator?! My friend and I are putting together a trex 800. we are totally confused to how to power the receiver/aceone?! a123 pack into receiver, 2s lipo into receiver, 2s lipo into DJI, BEC no BEC... stuff like that! we have no clue! How much mah does your lipo have?!
In our case we have the LIPO directly power both the R/C receiver as well as the DJI controller. This suggests that the DJI and the Receiver are both getting 7.4V from the LIPO. We are using HV servos for all cyclic controls so this is not an issue using a LIPO. One important note is you can't power the TAIL Servo at 7.4V as they do not make HV versions for the TAIL servo.
DANGER! You must put a BEC for the TAIL SERVO output leaving the DJI unit, so the tail servo does not burn out. This is extremely important. Read your specs on the TAIL SERVO and power is with 4.8V or 6.0V depending on your TAIL SERVO.
We are using one larger LIPO to power both units, as well as the SERVOS. This is about a 4000maH LIPO battery. Remember when you are running Digital Servos, the DJI, and the Receiver so together they suck power faster than a standard setup.
We do use a pair of switches that power all the units, we use a pair as a failsafe. This method ensure we have power flowing through two sets of wires and the DJI & Receiver are connected with many jumper cables so there is plenty of current capacity.
@Steveact1sb I understand the first part...The second part is what is giving my friend and me a hard time! What switches are those?! Is it something like this: h t t p://w w w.graupner.de/de/products/4136/product.aspx ??? Or are you simple connecting to packs in parallel?! Thanks again for all the help!!!
@Steveact1sb Quote: "In our case we have the LIPO directly power both the R/C receiver as well as the DJI controller." Does that mean you have a parallel cable from the LIPO to the DJI and the Rx?! Or does that mean you have the LIPO plugged into the DJI and since it supplies everything with power, it does so as well with the Rx??? Sorry, I have to ask because I need to make sure I do it right!
and PM me with your email address. I'm Steveact1 on RR. I'll put you in contact with my engineer who sets all this stuff up for me on my heli. He'll be much better qualified to answer your questions....and we won't be restricted to 475 characters as we are here in YouTube. His name is Russ...you'll find him to be very helpful. Thanks, Steve
I cannot call anyone right now, who is selling the Ace Ones because they are all closed but I am dying to know if you HAVE TO USE HV servos with it?! In the manual it says that it has to be operated at 7.4 - 8.4V...However, the same manual says that you can run it with as low as 4.8V??? What is it now??? thanks!
Im sorry but your going to have a bit of an issue marketing this without the most demanded feature of waypoints. You realize you can purchase an autopilot for less than this with fully programmable WP's. Im sorry and not trying to downtalk your product as Im sure its great, you just may want to lower the price to compete with other AP's that have more features ESPECIALLY waypoints. Again not downtalking so please dont take this the wrong way.
Thank you for that clarification. A owrthy device but at $3000 or so it seems some of those other stabilizers do the same work. I will say the GPS antennae allows positioning but all the others do the same leveling for $400-$700. It will interesting though of DJI would make better use of that GPS and do waypoints. Then you have something wort the money. Thanks again. BTW, they didn't suppl longer tiewraps because they didn;t expect a boom with your OD. Ha. Nice heli.
Help me to understand something. The AceOne DJI seems to be a good stabilizer which is very sismilar to many other systems that are thousands cheaper. The biggest difference seems to be the limited GPD functions mostly for positioning (keeping th heli in one point) and failsafe. AceOne really isn;t an autopilot system and can't do waypoints. I am hoping i am wrong so that the $3500 or so is going far. Help me to understand. Thank you for your videos.
The Ace One is an autopilot, it has the ability to stabilize the helicopter and hold it level as you maneuver it around. It also sends inputs into the camera platform and keeps it horizontal as the helicopter is being flown. It also has a built in gryo/compass/barometric sensor. It does not currently have a way of handling way points. It does have a failsafe mode which can return the helicopter to the starting position and hover should you lose radio contact.
This vid is great, Im looking into getting the AF25b with the aceone and with this video you have answered alot of my quastions before commiting to buy. great work guys and good luck with all you future flights :)
Just a quick quastion, what servos are you using on the airframe for pith, roll and collective as I spoke to copterworks and they recomended using JR 8711
We use the JR8711HV which are similar but are high voltage versions and designed for the cylic control. We went with the high voltage servos because we use LIPO batteries which output over 7.5V when fully charged and these JR servos can handle voltage all the way up to 8.4V.
Hey, I got an email saying that you responded to my comment?! I dont see where though! Am I missing something?! thanks

@iFlyFPV No apology needed...we don't sell these units. We just bought the unit and decided to make this video when we installed it on our chopper.
