It&#39;s a well written webinar, built on 2 sections:</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Electronic Speed Controllers for Drones</li><li>Battery Pack for Drones</li></ul><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">What&#39;s really nice about this webinar is that it gives you the big picture. The first section discusses the following:</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Overview of a Drone</li><li>Trapezoidal vs Sinusoidal considerations</li><li>Software considerations</li><li>Test results and setup</li><li>Design Overview</li></ul><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">It overviews flight controllers, gimbal control, camera modules, vsison and sensor systems, remote control and battery packs. </p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">It also compares Trapezoidal (BLDC) and Sinusoidal (Field Oriented Control). </p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">The 2nd section discusses design requirements for the battery pack with respect to:</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">Safety</p><ul><li>Over Voltage</li><li>Over Current</li><li>Over Temperature</li></ul><p style="margin:0;">User experience</p><ul><li>Under Voltage</li><li>Cell Imbalance</li></ul><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">There are plenty of schematics, block diagrams, charts and graphs to support the presentation.</p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;">If you are at all interested in drones and quadcopters, make sure you attend this event.
