Share My Creation RC motor + propeller test bench

Hi all,

A very specific application :

This Motor Test Equipment is specially designed to measure all vital parameters of RC motors + propellers.

On an RC plane, propeller performance depends on pitch, diameter, profile, and material.

Testing your propellers will allow you to measure and improve their efficiency.

This motor + propeller test equipment will measure:

• Thrust
• RPM
• Current
• Voltage
• Electrical power
• Temperature

It can be controlled either manually via a servo tester or your radio transmitter/receiver or automatically via your Android phone.

Everything is open source and explained here : project on hackaday

See the system running here :

Enjoy
JP

In the b4a code for the project given here : https://github.com/f2knpw/RC_motor_propeller_test_bench/blob/master/JP_RCmotorTester.zip , what is 'resources' in Resource Manager' Module? I get resource missing error. There also seems to be no library?

Code module
'Subs in this code module will be accessible from all modules.
Sub Process_Globals
    Dim ApplicationResources As Resources
End Sub

'    '    returns the application string resource identified by TagValue
'    if no string resource is found then the DefaultValue is returned
Sub GetApplicationString(TagValue As String, DefaultValue As String) As String
    Dim ResourceId As Int
    ResourceId=ApplicationResources.GetIdentifier(TagValue, "string", ApplicationResources.PackageName)
    If ResourceId=0 Then
        Return DefaultValue
    Else
        Return ApplicationResources.GetString(ResourceId)
    End If
End Sub

Hi,

It's and old module which is not used in this project. You can safely suppress all these references.
I don't know why the "export zip" didn't make its job properly !

I have modified the code to unlink this module.
Github is updated : BA4 zip export

Thank you. I removed the resource manager module and was able to compile. For anyone else who gets 'no file' error on clicking the link, note that the url is repeated twice which is why you get the error.

oups ... Thanks ! I have updated the link as well !
