Firmware / Software
Software/firmware updates are here to stay. Don’t resist them. Embrace them as part of the process. Until they build the perfect drone, there will be updates. Are you. So don’t think of firmware updates as an annoying inconvenience, they are there to help protect your drone and your reputation. Try to get into the habit […]

Flight Controller
Here is an example wiring diagram how components in a drone are connected to a flight controller. The efficiency of a drone is hugely dependent on its flight controller because it processes all the functions and controls that manage the flight of the drone Combining your electronics into one easy to configure stack is becoming […]
Remote Control / Transmitter
Every drone pilot, sooner or later, finds out how common connection errors can be Trial and error Lazy Repairing Not all transmitters are compatible with all drones. Troubleshoot The Problem Hardware issues, tear down the remote control and replace the part.
Receiver
Different radios speak their own languages to talk their receivers with some being faster and others being more reliable or even smaller/cheaper. This means that you must use a receiver that is compatible with your transmitter which will most likely be made by the same company. Once the receiver has the signal it needs to […]
Electronic Speed Controller (esc)
ESC is an electronic circuit that controls and regulates the speed of an electric motor. It may also provide reversing of the motor and dynamic braking Due to the differences in motor technology, different ESCs are required for drones with brushed motors and those with brushless motors. High-efficiency, low-heat design optimized for minimal cooling environments […]
Propellers
Propellers for multirotor drones are arranged in pairs, spinning either clockwise or anti-clockwise to create a balance. Varying the speed of these propellers allows the drone to hover, ascend, descend, or affect its yaw, pitch and roll. Propeller speeds are varied by changing the voltage supplied to the propeller’s motor, a process that is handled […]
Motors
Every motor needs to be designed to prevent the build up of excessive heat, which will damage the motor, the Electronic Speed Controllers and wiring. Many drone motors are designed using a centrifugal cooling system, along with cooling fins. For a drone to fly outdoors in all weather conditions, the drone motor and components need […]
