NEW 2020 HardWare - The EVO has a variable cruise-Control (New Version 2)

claudius62 · Feb 24, 2020

In 2019, I offered my H520 a cruise control that landed on the forward joystick, and while being able to regulate the speed with the electronic trim on the back of the radio, I could take care of more camera and viewing angles as well as altitude and turn. By being very counting on this form of flight which becomes more flowing and less jerky. (I was thus able to make superb flights over herds of horses which left me as the direction of the drone and the camera to occupy me).

I was looking for a way to adapt it to the Evo, but the concern is that we couldn't regulate the speed like on the H520.

But, nothing stops me, by dint of drawing prototypes, I think I got there.
A system that:
- Easily positioned by sliding.
- Easily locks the Walking Stick.
-Allows you to adjust a regular speed.
- Disarms very quickly with a boost (security).
-You don't have to stay on the radio all the time.

HERE IT IS

The block glued to the double-sided on the radio (does not interfere with the Joystick and the tablet).

The control block which comes to slide, put on the stick.

Unlocking a boost under the adjustment ball.

The STL Files will be put on my Drive in a few days. Those who will be interested can ask me for the link in PM.

So, your invention holds the pitch forward and is easily adjustable, easily engaged and disengaged. But it does not allow mixing of pitch and roll as with your H520 cruise control inserts, correct? Have you seen TyPilot's "Steady Drive" solution for the Typhoon H Plus? Could you adapt that hardware or idea to the EVO?

Yes, on the H520, I can play advance and slip at the same time.
Adapting it to the Evo seems difficult to me given the size and the travel of the joystick (2cm from end to end)
In addition, on the H520, the plate just comes into the frame of the joystick while the Evo is extra thick and beveled.
But this is something to think about.

@Rubik3x
I went a little too far by saying: "Adapting it to the Evo seems difficult to me given the size and the travel of the joystick (2cm from end to end) "
As everything is always possible, therefore achievable, after having smoked my neurons a little (only my neurons, tssss...), I came to this.
Progress stabilizer AND KEEP SIDE MOVEMENT.

Printing next week when I receive my new plates and test in stride (if time permits) .............

Without the 3d printer or adjustable tension - I just rigged a full throttle hold so I could watch or focus on other aspects of the flight. I stuck a small piece of scotch 3m fastener on the remote and another piece to a small metal hook of sort I had found at the bottom of miscelanouse hardware I had laying around - sure you could find similar in any Home Depot or Lowes store. Works like a charm.

Too bad they just don't develop some autonomous flight modes and these hacks wouldn't be needed.

Hello, with your system, the stick is still fully down.
There I can vary the speed in standard mode from 0 to 36 km / h and in the second system,I keep the lateral sliding right-left, easier to make wrapped around a subject with the conjugation of the stick rotation.

I got it, and looks good! I only had one need and that was full throttle straight ahead - so worked for me...

The rubber band is a marvelous and useful invention.

No it's not. If you aren't careful, it might hit you back.

All parts are ready. Waiting for printing.

And Now finished............

Am very interested in it. As a matter of fact, I thought about this if the drone manufacturers will have some kind of mechanism like your invention. Am glad you did it. It allows for a consistent and smooth video shoots.
