We needed an instrument that can plot the voltage/thrust curve for any BLDC motor and propeller combination. We use Pulse Width Modulation to control the Electronic Speed Controller which drives the motor, and it would be nice to be able to relate the PWM percentage to thrust. Our first prototype used Force Sensing Resistors which will be compared to load cells. #arduino #fsr #dyno #shield

Check out the latest review of our app FlightPlan on freeappsforme!
This app allows you to program a flight plan for the Tello Drone and then upload it to the drone for execution. You can also fly the drone manually with the app if you wish.
While the plan is being flown, the app will display the glass cockpit. Real time telemetry from the drone is displayed on the glass cockpit. This includes pitch, roll, yaw, velocity (x, y, z), temperature, time of flight (tof), height, battery percentage, motor on time, barometric pressure, and acceleration (x, y, z).
You can download FlightPlan for FREE from the Apple App Store.
