X-3D-BL User’s Manual

1.1.6 X-BLDC brushless motor

controllers

Every motor is controlled by an independent X-
BLDC brushless motor controller. The controllers are
highly optimized for the X-BL-52s motors and thus
ensure the highest efficiency possible. Please note that
for this reason the controllers might not work with a
different motor type.

1.1.7 Optionally available: X-ACC

The X-ACC is a tiny add-on module, which gives the
X-3D-BL a totally different behavior. For using the
pressure height control with the X-3D-FunPilot, the
X-ACC module is neccessary.

Without the X-ACC the X-3D-BL is flying in the so
called Heading-Hold mode. The vehicle always tries
to keep its current orientation if there is no control
command. If you push a stick on your remote the
vehicle will turn in the associated axis. The further
you push the stick, the faster the X-3D-BL turns.

The X-ACC is a triaxial accelerometer. Using the ac-
celeration data the X-3D can compute the absolute
orientation of the vehicle in pitch and roll. As a conse-
quence, the helicopter is able to come back to a hori-
zontal orientation on its own. In the X-ACC mode you
command an absolute angle. The further you push the
pitch or roll stick, the bigger the tilt-angle of the X-
3D-BL. If you leave the stick centered the helicopter
will come back to horizontal. In this mode you are
not able to do loops or flips, however, hovering and
all 2D-maneuvers are much easier to do. The X-ACC
is also a great help for beginners! You can switch bet-
ween the Heading-Hold and the X-ACC mode during
flight using a switch on your (

control.

1.1.8 Optionally available: X-3D Mag

The X-3D Mag is used for stabilysing the yaw axis to
hold an absolute angle. By using a tilt compensation
algorithm the X-3D BL Ufo holds it’s desired heading
in the X-ACC and X-ACC-height mode at any time.
This makes it also easier for beginners to get in touch
