    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

@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:

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...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
