Motor Music - Brushless motor controller for Quadrotor UAV

Advanced prototype brushless motor controller designed for Quadrotor helicopters. Optimised circuit design for high efficiency using EPP1045 prop, roughly 11g/W @ 250g thrust (AXI or Hacker motors).

Agile response controlled via I2C input @ 1kHz update rate.
Configurable RGB 0.5W Navigation LED's (flash duty cycle, period & intensity)
Integral motor and stick mount to 10mm Al square section.
PID control with dynamic braking.
Operating modes: Open loop, Linear RPM, and Linearised thrust.
Configuration settings and debug accessable via serial port GUI using Hyperterminal.

Coming out soon if there is enough interest. May also do bare design without the stick & motor mount.

hello, i'm interested in the LEDs. what are their purposes again? is it when its red, its slowing down and when its green its speeding up?

[infernoed]

@Simonc319 GPS hold video shows them flying. They are for ground visual orientation of Quadrotor UAV - useful when you fly 122m high and 500m away. The music video they are set to flash on and off with music.

I am looking for brushless controller. Do you sell these controllers? Thanks....

[infernoed]

We are looking to commercialise them, will do another video in the near future

did you make the music self or do you have a program to convert musicnotes to different rpms?

[infernoed]

Used a spreadsheet to produce a rpm lookup table. The main fundamental tones are generated by wash from each blade passing the mount arm - so a simple calculation. If the controller fails to hit the "note" it is pretty obvious by ear and sounds flat. Music is a good test of the controllers ability for development purposes.

@infernoed you know what would have been nice????

A link on where to buy!!!!

Please answer fast I am drooling over this thing

[Dj7day]

as in the movie `Sorcerer`s Apprentice` )))

[SashNone]

Great :)

[djhesit8]

this is nuts... even for a nerd like me :D

[djdavies83]

haha i like the music you selected for it to play

[irishkendoll]

puts a smile on my face everytime i load this video!
