What do i need to do to make my babyape components work on plane as fpv

[native marsh]

title says it all, what do i need to have and do to be able to have fpv on my plane, i want to use my babyape's parts for it

[cobalt ferry]

5v regulator for the VTX

[native marsh]

so cam, vtx, antenna, regulater, xt60?

[cobalt ferry]

if you're gonna use an XT60 battery yes

iflight regulators are good

[tight ember]

or, i assume your gonna use an esc, you might be able to take the 5v from the bec. Though it might not be enough power

[native marsh]

well xt30

not the point

[native marsh]

idk if i will use an esc, might be fried from the fire tbh

and what battery should i use

like cells and capacity

[tight ember]

i mean esc like this, it has a 5v output to power the reviver and servos

[tight ember]

depends on the size of the plane

[native marsh]

how does that matter

just the fpv system

or should i attach it to my plane

[tight ember]

if you can get a volatge reg, just use the batteries you already have

the smol ones

[native marsh]

yeye

[native marsh]

so i want to get a xt30 with some wires and a regulator?

[native marsh]

i have 2s 450mahs

[tight ember]

yeah they will work, idk how long they will last tho

[native marsh]

idk either

[tight ember]

something like this

[native marsh]

so:
cam
vtx
antenna
regulator 5v
xt30

[native marsh]

cool but how do u change the voltage

[tight ember]

its 5v by defualt, then you bridge 2 pads to make it 12v

connect it directly to your battery

[native marsh]

ohhh

[native marsh]

wdym

[tight ember]

solder a xt30 to the + and - of the lil board

[native marsh]

like battery > xt30 > regulator > vtx > camera

[tight ember]

it can handle upto 30v

ye

same as you would on a drone but the power comes from the reg insted of the fc

[native marsh]

alr

so i have the cam, antenna, vtx

i need xt30, wires and regulator

[tight ember]

if the vtx is inside the plane you might need a fan or heatsink

[native marsh]

breh

[native marsh]

@tight ember

https://droneshop.nl/catalogsearch/result/?q=5v+regulator#/page/2

can u help choose

and what wires do i need?

[karmic walrus]

@native marsh fyi you wont get OSD from this

[native marsh]

Ik

@tight ember

fish

hel

[tight ember]

https://droneshop.nl/mateksys-micro-bec-6-30v-to-5v-9v-3pcs

probably alright alternative

and just any 24-28awg wire

[native marsh]

thank u

[tight ember]

YOU'RE WELCOME!

[native marsh]

where do i get that

[native marsh]

lmao

[tight ember]

idk

amazon

[native marsh]

lol

alr

oh i found it

[native marsh]

ill use 26?

[tight ember]

k

[native marsh]

do i need wire from the reg to the vtx?

[karmic walrus]

Nah it uses Bluetooth

Bluetooth power delivery

[native marsh]

Alr alr

this is what i got

[tight ember]

heatshrink?

[native marsh]

got sum

or ill get some

[karmic walrus]

Maybe a cap

[native marsh]

?

[karmic walrus]

?

[native marsh]

wdym cap

[tight ember]

?

[karmic walrus]

Let’s take a thinking abt there’s only one thing called a cap in electronics/drones

A capacitor!

[native marsh]

oh

nah

jk

do i need it?

[tight ember]

probably not, its only gonna draw 15watts

[karmic walrus]

Idk abt with a voltage stepdown

But I would cuz it will make it a kore@clean signal with analog

Like the Darwin vtx is shitty so it won’t be a good signal anyway

Makes it a litte@better

[native marsh]

true

[karmic walrus]

The voltage thing mogjt@be able to clean it tho

[native marsh]

bec?

[karmic walrus]

Ye

[native marsh]

so do i need a capacitor?

and where would i solder it onto

[karmic walrus]

The vtx

Same place u attach the power wires to it

[native marsh]

ohh

but do i need it or will i be fine

and the store doesnt sell it

i aint bothered

but uh 26awg good?

[karmic walrus]

Probs fine

[native marsh]

alright.....

[balmy badger]

dont use the baby ape vtx

its shit

[native marsh]

i know

[balmy badger]

i had a different 25mw vtx outperform 200mw baby apes vtx

[balmy badger]

ok

[native marsh]

real

[cobalt ferry]

its kinda like AKK VTXs

150mw of noise

[balmy badger]

💀

Akks vtxs are bad?

Good to know

[cobalt ferry]

very much lmao

[balmy badger]

Well what would u reccomend

[karmic walrus]

Rush or foxeer

[native marsh]

Imma order then

Today

[balmy badger]

what about hglrc

[karmic walrus]

They are fine

[native marsh]

This is the vtx right?

[tight ember]

Looks it yeah

[native marsh]

I read thst some vtx have a reg

[tight ember]

For that vtx darwin's website says input of 5v but AliExpress and a few other stores say 5-24v input
