Ready to fly choppers are not equal. This arrangement makes them far more stable and easier to fly than single-bladed choppers. Single rotor choppers have only one layer of blades and sport a more conventional look. RC pilots love to fly more than anything. MORE

We did, however, find a scientific paper exploring the concept. Chopper was a prototype tool built experimentally by researchers at Princeton in 2012. Chopper optimizes these criteria and generates a partition either automatically or with user guidance. MORE
It is actually a 14V motor, so is not ideally suited to being driven from a 12V chopper drive. MORE
Toy choppers are not as impressive or as capable as hobby-grade models. They do make the craft less agile, but they’re a lot more stable in the air than single-rotor choppers. Go here to see what a typical high-end hobby-grade single rotor chopper offers. #4 MORE

When the chopper switches off it can do it two ways. Having set the correct off time to suit my motor I can now micro step it with equal spaced steps, but only if I disable the mixed decay mode. It can turn on both low side transistors. MORE

All radio-controlled drones, planes, choppers, and blimps can take to the air of course. And RC choppers at the beginner level are child’s play. Even so, a 3CH model chopper is the perfect place to start for those with no previous flying experience. MORE

Researchers at Michigan Technological University invent 3D Printable Polymer Pelletizer Chopper and it chops 3D printer filament into pellet-sized pieces that can be used in a fused granular fabrication (FGF) 3D printer or re-extruded as a new filament spool. MORE
I fancied using one of the Allegro micro-stepping chopper drivers. The current only flows in the sense resistor when the chopper is in the on state though. I bet it is a constant off time chopper and the minimum current is too high. MORE
I am running them from 36V with a constant current chopper drive. As I was adding the diagonal tie bars my wife said "it''s becoming a bit of a contraption". I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing! My alternative z-axis using four tin can stepper motors works reasonable well. MORE
R22 sets the off time of the chopper and needs to be different values for different motors as described here. The reference voltage for the chopper is generated by a high frequency PWM output on the micro and smoothed to DC by R2 and C4. MORE

I don''t think constant off-time choppers are the best idea. When I built my Mendel I used A3977 stepper drivers. Before that I did some maths to show that the component values need to be carefully selected to match the motor in order to achieve 8× microstepping. Makerbot produced a board with four potentiometers and I published settings for motors popular at the time. MORE
Yes, drones have attractions that choppers with two or more props don’t, but the opposite is also true. RC choppers generally have longer flight times , particularly at the higher end. That makes it pretty crash-resistant—for a model chopper. MORE
