Hexacopter (Asymetric Frame Design)

Post by 2.4g Shaun »

HI,
I'm about to build a X - Hex using Alexs new code for the UNO.

Is there any reason why all 6 motors have to be equidistant and the booms at 60 degrees?

I'm wanting to maKe a X configured hex with the front 2 motors well spaced , the side motors close in and the rear booms longer, to help with orientation and to have a good field of view at the front for FVP. (Essentially the profile would look liKe an egg with the top of the wide end chopped off.....)

This is not like the Flyduspider frame, as this has all 6 motors equal from the centre point, it's just the frame geometry has been moved forward.

Any advice appreciated, fact rather than theory, but all greatfully received.

Cheers :)

I'm planning the same. :)

It's possible you have to change the mix a little.

It explains how the mixing is done.
