      Hello, is there any function through which I can get the propellors to spin at a constant speed?

      My team and I are trying to design a physics lab where we can measure the propellor speeds using a tachometer. However, it seems to be that the command:

      drone.set_throttle()
      

      does not make the propellors spin at a constant speed for a given input. That is, I get the sense that the propellor speed is changing, especially if the drone's sensors pick up on the fact that it is being held stationary.

      Thank you!

            @aada2019 The input will correspond to how much battery power is provided to the motors. We do not have information on the exact voltage or rpm.

              @robolink_leila Thanks for the response! Is there any way you could provide me with information regarding what propellor speed (in rpm) does the input of

              drone.set_throttle()
              

              correspond to, assuming no disturbances? For example, maybe drone.set_throttle(10) is 10,000 rpm whereas drone.set_throttle(20) is 12,000 rpm.

              The information would allow us to develop a truly one-of-a-kind physics lab at Pomona College, so I would really appreciate any help you are able to provide!

              Thank you!

                Hi @aada2019 ,
                There is no way to individually control motor speeds aside from the functions on our documentation page. The speeds will vary as it is affected by any disturbances in order to maintain its direction.
