    Flight Terms
AI Thread 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:

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
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...
