Mullet wrote:I'd ideally like to use Quatos on an upcoming quad I'll be building. I understand the part about measuring mass (for the most part). A good recommendation for a length measuring device would be helpful. I also understand the part about measuring weight. I have a digital scale that measures in grams. The part that I don't understand is the thrust curve measurements. I have 12A BLHeli flashed ESCs. I also have Sunnysky 2204s 2300KV motors. Finally, I plan to use CF 6045 props. I've read that Quatos requires ESC32 for thrust curve measurement. I've also read that people are doing Quatos with KISS ESCs. Anyone in the US (or Europe) have a rig and know how to measure my prop/motor/esc combo and also a willingness to do a favor? I could send out a prop/motor/esc combo for proper testing. I'd do it myself, but don't have the know how or proper tools. Otherwise, perhaps it might be a better idea to stick to PID. Quatos is really appealing though and half the reason of going AutoQuad.
Mullet wrote:Yeah those motors (AIRGEAR200) look nice. Are you going to skip the ESCs and go with KISS ESCs instead?

Thrust Stand, Turnigy 7-in-1 multimeter (Don't need this to do Thrust curve measurement, but it's helpful), 12A ESC (might or might not use KISS for test), Turnigy Tachometer, Transmitter (DX7s), Lemon 8ch DSM receiver, DYS 1306 3100kV motors.I figure I'll use the tachometer to know what RPM I'm at and just apply throttle till I get to 300, 600, etc. RPMs.
