I want to get started on my street league build so bad, but it's a couple months off at least, I gotta finish this current project and it still needs about 500 in parts if not more

scarlet pier
#

Okay I’m in vc

also you have to configure betaflight

and bind everything

twin quail
#

Fly it with the smoke stopper yes!!

scarlet pier
#

Alr

#

Time to configure

#

How do I do that

twilit pivot
#

computer time

scarlet pier

It is

twilit pivot
copper pasture
twilit pivot

IMG_1799.jpg
covert hornet

i put un fused on my batt terminals and saw god for a sec

twilit pivot
#

I stole my multimeter

covert hornet

scarlet pier
#

Okay

odd isle
#

No magic smoke for me

covert hornet
covert hornet
scarlet pier
twilit pivot
#

those two

odd isle
#

And the impulse RC driver fixed right?

twilit pivot
#

depends on if they need it or not

#

I don't even know if they're using Windows

scarlet pier
#

win 11

twilit pivot
#

yeah most likely they won't need the driver fixer just because they're on win11 alone

copper pasture
# scarlet pier win 11

Downgrade to 10 much more program compatibility, win11 has so many issues it should be labeled a beta

twilit pivot
#

not quite

jolly arch
jolly arch
#

Windows 11 should be fine now... Windows 10 is becoming EOSL here shortly

scarlet pier
#

back

twilit pivot
#

It's definitely worse in performance and GUI

scarlet pier
#

I had to eat

jolly arch
#

Absolutely

scarlet pier
#

kali

#

Can you call please

#

I finished

jolly arch
#

Don't get me started on that, I want to toss my PC out the windows because of it

scarlet pier

twilit pivot

copper pasture
scarlet pier
#

@twilit pivot Do I use epic dog said

twilit pivot

scarlet pier
#

idk

#

Is there any more downloads

jolly arch
#

impulse RC driver

twilit pivot
#

just those two

#

and if it doesn't connect

#

this or even just this

scarlet pier
#

@jolly arch @hexed cipher @twilit pivot

#

Is this okay?

twilit pivot
#

yes?

scarlet pier
#

vc is mad

twilit pivot
#

why

scarlet pier
#

idk

hexed cipher
#

happymodel ep1 is 5v

#

not 9v

twilit pivot
#

that's why I told him to do 5v

scarlet pier
#

...

#

waht

#

i was told 9 would work

twilit pivot
#

but aymeric went "no"

#

yes by someone that lost patience with you and got angry at you

scarlet pier
#

well it was the only one left

#

I didnt rlly get to chose

twilit pivot
#

well he fucked you over then

scarlet pier
#

:/

twilit pivot
#

I didn't necessarily know it couldn't be 9V

#

but that's why I said 5V 😭

scarlet pier
#

So it fried or

twilit pivot
#

I don't know actually

scarlet pier
#

;-;

twilit pivot
#

the 9V might not be on using only usb

#

so you can try just resoldering it to 5V and you might be lucky

hexed cipher
#

they say they plugged a battery

twilit pivot
#

i know

#

but stuff can take a little beating sometimes

scarlet pier
#

well okay

twilit pivot
#

hurts my soul lol

hexed cipher
#

this was very uncool dude

jolly arch
#

You don't teach someone by screwing them over.

scarlet pier
#

:/ yeah that’s actually sad that someone gona ruin the first build like that

twilit pivot
#

luckily the receiver is just about the cheapest part

#

aaand it might still be alive

scarlet pier
#

Yeah

#

Just annoying

#

Damn heat shrink

#

Fixed

jolly arch
#

Soldered onto the 5v pad?

scarlet pier
#

yeah

regal crest
# scarlet pier NO

there was a point at which I was using grey duct tape all over my build

it was beautiful

scarlet pier
#

Erm

twilit pivot
#

that's a big prop for a 3.5"

regal crest
twilit pivot
regal crest
scarlet pier
twilit pivot
#

the tungsten?

scarlet pier
#

The receiver

#

We multi metering it rn

#

How do we check

#

?

#

If it fried

twilit pivot
#

by seeing if it works really

scarlet pier
#

Well it ain’t ion think

#

The light don’t come on

twilit pivot
#

I don't know the in-depth components of these things, check the components BEFORE the main chip

hexed cipher
#

for some reason it pulls the 5v pad down to 0.9v

#

im thinking it's toast

#

yeah you owe him $20 now

scarlet pier
#

It’s broken

#

;-;

twilit pivot
#

rip 20 dollars

copper pasture
scarlet pier
#

Yeah man pissed

#

whtvr

copper pasture
twilit pivot
#

I think he even configured it all

copper pasture
#

Also isn't vcc full battery voltage?

twilit pivot
#

yeah that's what it's kind of supposed to mean

#

but on his board it's the 9v regulator

#

and on the stupid diagram that was sent it's 5v

copper pasture
twilit pivot
#

most of them aren't

#

especially the tiny ones

#

I think they can handle anything up to 5V

deep finch
# hexed cipher yeah you owe him $20 now

Yeah, he actually had an ep1 tcxo, not an ep1, so I am in his dm to pay him the price of the receiver back since I didn't double check into his shopping list, so that's on me, so I will repay him

hexed cipher
#

👍

Yeah he good and helped pay for it, no hate to em just please read next time 👍

#

@deep finch let me just say you're one hell of an admirable person for fixing your mistake and making it right.

deep finch
#

But also I get more praise when I break stuff then when I fix stuff, it's a bit upside down

unique hinge
#

Haha yeah thats usually how it works. Just breaking stuff is not something that makes you stand out. Owning up to your mistake and making it right does, as not many people are capable of doing that.

scarlet pier
#

Timing be like

deep finch
# unique hinge Haha yeah thats usually how it works. _Just_ breaking stuff is not something tha...

Idk, I'm just trying not to be a dick,
but also, since people here went into conspiracy theory mode saying I knew it was gonna break and I was an evil person who wanted to break his stuff, there might have been some personal interest involved, to not have a reputation for being the asshole who wants to break your stuff, so you know, it also did help me at the end of the day, since I do still want to help people, but yeah, I guess you can say I'm an awesome person, my ego won't refuse that

scarlet pier
#

Makes alot of sense why someone would try to “teach me a lesson”

#

No worries tho I don’t hold a grudge for more than 1 hour

deep finch
scarlet pier
unique hinge
scarlet pier
#

Well that and now I can’t fly my drone for more than an hour but no worries 😭

deep finch
scarlet pier
#

Most ppl I argue with or get into fights/disagreements I friend and keep asking for help

#

Works 90% of the time

#

They just get confused

#

Also nice not being mad at ppl

#

All the time

deep finch
scarlet pier
#

Yeah but drawing wiring diagrams makes me pretty oblivious lol

#

Quite a bit of effort

unique hinge
scarlet pier
#

So it was either on purpose or accident

#

Which we now no the latter wasn’t true

#

Also I’m broke and 16 so it matters a lot to me Harold

deep finch
scarlet pier
#

If you break it Istg

twilit pivot
#

people are bad at judging what is dangerous and what isn't

unique hinge
scarlet pier
#

I trust everyone in this chat no matter what lol

#

Don’t rlly fact check

unique hinge
#

I mean, look at @scarlet pier PepeLove /s

deep finch
deep finch
# unique hinge I mean, look at <@982815239651356692> <:PepeLove:824985028756766759> /s

To be fair, he just didn't double check, and it wasn't at all obviously there was an error since Emilia, me and galaxy55 all missed it, so I wouldn't blame him too much for not seeing it either, since the mistake was that he said he had an ep1, but he had an ep1 txco, Wich has basically a singular difference with the ep1 and it's that it doesn't take 9v input

scarlet pier
#

I do post the build parts every 5 min

#

Or try to lol

deep finch
scarlet pier
#

Yeah but I try to be diligent

odd isle

Don’t break anything

odd isle

Sellotape does that?

scarlet pier

Printers for people who care about printers😂 nah they both look epic. I wish I could have one

twilit pivot
#

printers for people who don't care about printers*

#

just want something that works?

#

boom expensive printer

#

won't have to do anything to it

deep finch
# twilit pivot boom expensive printer

pretty much, I didn't want any of the hassle of 3d printing, so I got that one, and it does anything I ask it to do, except letting me sleep while it prints

twilit pivot
#

exactly why we have the Prusa

deep finch
twilit pivot
#

I would've gone Bambu but I don't like the company

deep finch
twilit pivot
#

It's like the DJI/Apple of 3D printers

#

they also used to be cloud-bound and were against people "rooting" their 3D printers for a while

#

and they have not contributed back to the open source software they fork and use

#

like the slicer

#

I don't want any part of that

deep finch
#

it's funny that I hate dji but bought a printer that does the same thing, but also, I never had any issues with it, and I don't really care that much personnally for the closed source nature, since I basically tell it to poop plastic, it does it, and voila, I never felt compelled to upgrade anything on it after 8 month of using it, so i'm personnally fine with that

twilit pivot
#

I'd be using an iPhone if I didn't care about this kind of stuff so

deep finch
#

fuck iphone

#

at least bambulab's products where a compelling option when they released

#

compared to the iphone bullshit

twilit pivot
#

nah I love iPhone's

deep finch
#

ew

twilit pivot
#

I despise the way Android is put together and works

#

and I love iOS

odd isle
#

I love them too

deep finch
#

disgusting

odd isle
#

I just despise Mac’s

twilit pivot
#

yet here I am using a stupid little Android phone because no one can make anything better than a fucking Oneplus 8t for some reason

odd isle
#

lol

deep finch
#

I despise everything apple except the ipads, they are pretty good compared to the trash android manufacturer poops out every year

odd isle
#

Anyone played with a nothing phone they look good

odd isle
twilit pivot
#

they're overpriced last I heard

odd isle
#

It got really slow tho

twilit pivot
#

and have a very bad track record software wise

odd isle
#

Nah if you get a referb their decent price

deep finch
odd isle
#

iPad + Apple Pencil or any decent stylus

Mmmmmmmmm wonderful

deep finch
odd isle
#

Linux will never rule

twilit pivot
#

Android is ass, and I already main Linux and have for yeaars

deep finch
odd isle
#

Cause easy anti cheat exisists

twilit pivot
#

EAC is compatible with Proton...

#

it's the other ones that are the problem

odd isle
#

If people can’t play their games people ain’t gonna use it

odd isle
deep finch
unique pewter
#

I hate easy anti cheat

twilit pivot
#

yeah some games just didn't flip a single checkbox to allow Proton to use it

deep finch
#

that usually doesn't go together

deep finch
twilit pivot
#

goes together perfectly

deep finch
#

it is useless crap that is only here to make you loose time

odd isle
#

Hacker, guns do no damage

#

Starts playing fake audio to make them feel schizophrenic

deep finch
odd isle
#

It’s such a wonderful software

unique pewter
#

I haven't run into a single cheater on fn so at least easy anticheat works

odd isle
#

It should be the norm in shooters

twilit pivot
#

VAC is all I need

odd isle
#

Or the funniest thing about ricochet is it puts all the hackers in one lobby

deep finch
odd isle
#

I know this is completely off topic now but you know all those terrible 5 minute craft videos

Did no one ever tell them that 3D printing exists

#

They start making saddles outta hot glue meanwhile someone makes the bloody mischief boots on a printer

deep finch
odd isle
#

Or or or or use the oscillator mode

deep finch
#

and 3d printing won't help you in their most popular videos "how to sneak candies in the cinema"

odd isle
#

I’m so doing that as a video

deep finch
odd isle
#

Prints holders that sit in jacket

#

Well the funny thing is in the uk they couldn’t give less of a shit if you bring stuff in as long as it’s not hot food

deep finch
odd isle
#

So it’s kinda pointless

odd isle
#

Im double screwed

deep finch
