Thanks for creating the new discussion thread for AtomFly. Recently I have been working on flight controller firmware and a mobile app to control using BLE. I will keep posted my progress here. I will be asking many questions and create issues during my development. One quick question, is it OK to connect battery and USB C at the same time to AtomFly?

Can we use "Watering Unit with Mositure Sensor and Pump" with Atom Lite with Tailbat or other usb powerbank? What is the maximum current draw when pump is operating?

Also, UIFlow would be slower.

@roboticbits Do you calibrate the IMU?

I am waiting for a 100uF capacitor to be delivered. It is difficult to get parts easily in this COVID19 situation. Although I have a 22uF capacitor but I do not know if it would be helpful in preventing voltage drop. My progress is blocking for now.

@roboticbits take care of your safety first. Initially I also got a hit from props on my finger since then I tied it to a stick: https://twitter.com/knaveen/status/1293777343341711360

I will try to use a breadboard if it works.

I am still confused it is 5V or 3.3V as you checked there is no power input from 3.3V.

@roboticbits said in ATOMFLY Community Project Collection: How to fly the ATOMFLY?:

ledcWrite

I think ledcSetup(0, 10000, 8); sets up channel 0 to 10KHz and 8-bit duty resolution so the range should be 0-255.

@roboticbits
Can you try following inside loop() and see if Atom Lite reboots?
fly.WritePWM(AtomFly::kMotor_A, 110);
fly.WritePWM(AtomFly::kMotor_B, 110);
fly.WritePWM(AtomFly::kMotor_C, 110);
fly.WritePWM(AtomFly::kMotor_D, 110);

I asked in a tweet that why the Atom Lite reboots when the PWM value is increased above 95 or 100 for all motors. I got a reply from @m5stack: "I think the voltage drops too much, could u add one more cap between 3.3v and gnd. 100uf should be better." Before soldering a capacitor (100uf) I just wanted to make sure if it is 3.3V and GND. It is not clear from the schematics that Atom Lite is getting power from 5V or 3.3V? Please confirm.
