Alpha V1 Open-Source Arduino Compatible Transmitter (Remote Controller)

I have been working on Alpha V1 for the past two years. I wanted to make sure Alpha V1 become the ultimate remote controller for variety of projects and as a result I ended up coding for most of the last 2 years.

Alpha V1 is an open-source transmitter (remote controller) with arduino compatible hardware. That would be Alpha V1's definition in one sentence but Alpha V1 is more than that. Alpha V1 is a transmitter that allow users to customize and modify their transmitter like never before. Alpha V1 does not only allow you to do that, it actually assist you because it let you do a lot of code-free modifications. Alpha V1 will be open-source not because we want you to get involved with the code for every small modification; instead we just want to make sure we do not give you any limitation in your projects. I have personally worked really hard to make sure code-free modification become a strong core value of Alpha V1 and I think we have achieved that to a reasonable level. Of course we cannot support every hardware that is out there, but we have managed to take care of many common devices.

I think it is the appropriate time to write more about Alpha V1, therefore I decided to write a post about it.

We will be launching a crowdfunding campaign for Alpha V1 and if you want to get notified at launch, subscribe at: https://www.craetech.com/alpha-v1

How to Find Torque for R/C Brushless Motors

I was looking for a solution to find the torque of my brushless motors for ages. I could not find any solution. I was chatting with my friend Shane Colton and he told me how to do it.

So these are the steps, for now I don't show why it is correct but it is not that hard to prove just play around with units.
Step 1: KV is usually provided. KV's unit is rpm/Volt
change rpm/Volt to (radian/sec)/Volt
Hint: just multiply by 2Pi/60 or use this.
step 2: inverse the result in step 1. So the unit becomes Volt/(radian/s)
Step 3: Find the current input of the motor.
In case you want to find maximum torque find the max power of the motor in the voltage you are using the motor. Sometimes it is provided by the manufacturer. Then use P=VI to find maximum I.
Step 4: multiply current to what you found in step 2. This answer is torque and the unit is Nm

the equation for the torque would be:
Torque = Step_2_result * Current
