2in1 - Beta Testing Units

Well its that time again. I am keen to get some peoples opinions on these controllers.

I have 3 Beetle sized controllers which are ready to go and one more Ant sized controller.

Ant controller is $17 Plush10 (ESCheap10 Premium)

Beetle Controller $18 F20A (ESCheap20)

If you would like one please post here then PM me.

Once again all this is very very very untested. But seems to be working pretty well for me. If you would like to give it a go and help me test them out that would be appreciated.

The ESCs need a PPM signal and use the first 2 channels. They do mixing onboard which is inherit in the 2in1 code (you can't turn it off). The current ESC which I know works with them is the HK 6CH V2 ESC. V1 wont work or 3ch HK one.

Steve

PS: Don't me about Feather Controllers! The advantage for ants is size and beetles the motor is such low spec that it isn't an issue. There is no reason it wouldn't work on a feather but if you want to do it you can program it yourself as I dont think it will end well. IMO you are better off with two cheaper ESCs.

Done. You can buy it through BotBitz or just PM me and can do trade for motors.

Edit:Also what would be great is if you could do a comparison driving with banebots and 2in1 if you have both of them.
