    Flight Terms
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the terminology and specifications of flight controllers for quadcopters, particularly for FPV racing. Key terms such as loop time, frequency modulation, refresh rate, SBUS, RX and TX pins, FPU, and UART are highlighted as critical for selecting an appropriate flight controller. Participants emphasize the importance of knowing how specifications like magnitude and frequency affect performance. There is a request for specific resources and guidance to clarify these concepts. Overall, a deeper understanding of these terms is essential for making informed decisions when building a racing quadcopter.

can anybody please tell me terminology of flight controller and it's specifications. Also, how these specs matter, like what is the effect of increase in Magintude or Frequency of different parameters which will help me buy a flight controller for a quadcopter. I want to build a FPV for racing.

what research have you done so far?
 
I have gone through the net content. But I don't understand it properly.The things like loop time, frequency modulation,refresh rate and stuff like that is not understandable for me so I need complete terminology of different specifications of flight controller.please

Thread re-opened after some cleanup.

@Aashish sarode -- You need to show a *lot* more effort in showing us what you have been reading. There is no way we can help, unless we understand what you have been reading and learning. Please post links to the reading you have been doing, and ask *specific* questions about that reading. You need to tell us what you want to optimize in your quadcopter controls and why.

Here is a good tutorial page about learning to fly quadcopters and using their controls:

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'RF magnetic field generation'

Hello! I want to generate an RF magnetic field at variable frequencies (from 1 to 20 MHz) using this amplifier: https://www.minicircuits.com/WebStore/dashboard.html?model=LZY-22%2B, by passing current through a loop of current (assume the inductive resistance is negligible). How should I proceed in practice? Can i directly connect the loop to the RF amplifier? Should I add a 50 Ohm in series? Thank you!

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
