tepid knoll
Hello,
I tried connecting my drone with my Radiomaster Pocket but it didnt work. I also tried connecting the drone to my goggles unfortunately that didnt work either. Please Help Me!
What I have done so far:
-Changed the PH2.0 to BT2.0
-Cam desoldered itself while changing to BT2.0 and I soldered it back up
-Set up binding Phrase on my Radiomaster Pocket and on the drone aswell

“Cam desoldered itself”
???

“Cam desoldered itself”
???
Like when I soldered the Power in cable the FC got hot and it desoldered itself. (My assumption)
ionic nest
Sorry i think not the right chnnel here for that right
Absolutely not
ionic nest
What ?
tepid knoll
You told me to buy the Mob 7 1s that I cant do anything wrong with the FC of Mob 7
Now same sht happens
ionic nest
What
tepid knoll
I shouldve listened to @umbral furnace and buy Meteor 75
umbral furnace
i mean probably but we can get this to work
show your ports tab
and your receiver tab
ionic nest
You told me to buy the Mob 7 1s that I cant do anything wrong with the FC of Mob...
The x12 is reliable, but reliable doesn't mean it is literally bulletproof
tepid knoll
@umbral furnace I think something here is not right
tepid knoll
yes
tepid knoll
you mean the Packet Rate?
umbral furnace
yeah
tepid knoll
umbral furnace
uhhh
SPI doesn't work with that I think
SPI receivers DO NOT support D(D250, D500), F(F500, F1000) and Full Res(100Hz Full Res, 333Hz Full Res) Modes (Packet Rates) and thus will not bind or sync with a TX module in any of these modes.
These are the packet rates that will work: 50Hz, 150Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz.
set it to 250Hz
tepid knoll
yes it should work
umbral furnace
manually set both the vtx and goggles to raceband 8
tepid knoll
yes because 8 didnt worked so I tried 6 didnt work neither
I changed it back to 8 now
umbral furnace
you have put the antenna on it right?
tepid knoll
Do you mean this?
umbral furnace
yes
tepid knoll
it is connected
ionic nest
it is connected
Was it ever not connected ?
Cause if it was disconnected for just a couple of seconds it can hurt the vtx enough to basically kill it
umbral furnace
it is connected
if you're sure that you have your goggles set correctly
and the vtx set correctly
and the antennas are okay
https://openvtx.org/ go here in a chromium browser
plug in battery and plug in the quad
and flash it
at least
tepid knoll
Was it ever not connected ?
it was always connected
umbral furnace
I assume you can
tepid knoll
before I do anything
wait
This is where it desoldered itselft
I tried my best soldering it
tepid knoll
<https://openvtx.org/> go here in a chromium browser
anyways lets do this then
umbral furnace
yikesd dude
tepid knoll
not my fault it just desoldered itself
anyways what do I do here?
Or maybe the Problem is that I couldnt solder it well
hollow onyx
you are the best
that’s not a mobula7 issue
that’s an issue between the chair and the keyboard
hollow onyx
not my fault it just desoldered itself
it has to be shit doesn’t desolder itself
tepid knoll
it has to be shit doesn’t desolder itself
Dont know how but fr it desoldered itself.
ionic nest
Dont know how but fr it desoldered itself.
It doesn't desolder itself if you use a reasonable temperature for a reasonable time
If you used 450c for 2min maybe it could desolder itself but the board won't be happy
ionic nest
Could you send a more detailed photo of this part ? (Take off the canopy and take a closer picture cause here it's hard to tell what's going on)
ionic nest
But I will probably return it
I doubt they will accept it since you re-soldered on the camera plug but sure, also if we could have a closer look at the whole board it would be nice, just to take a look if any component slided or something
tepid knoll
Alright
ionic nest
And get the meteor 75
Tho the thing you are ommiting is that the f4 5a 1s is far less reliable, I'm going to let you count the number of x12 on this picture and compare it to the number of f4 5a 1s (they are the cross ones, and I'm not saying that they are bad, they are really good, while they work)
What I'm saying is that if you go with the meteor only cause you think it will be more durable, well that's a bad move
tepid knoll
I just want a drone to fly with
ionic nest
And since this isn't my own picture, I'm going to add my own experience, I have 5 dead f4 5a 1s, and only 1 x12 that died, (and another one that has gyro issues but that was user error since I forgot to plug in an antenna which for some reason messed both the vtx and gyro pretty badly)
tepid knoll
I opened the drone now
ionic nest
I just want a drone to fly with
And I get that, but sending back a whoop with a board that shows clear signs of degradation is probably not the right way to do it
tepid knoll
yes but its just frustration
ionic nest
Yeah, but unfortunately user error and bad luck are part of the hobby
I can tell that from experience...
Happens way more often that you would like
tepid knoll
ionic nest
That's not looking too good, in orange there the capacitor looks like it might have bursted, and in blue there should be a resistor there, check it it is shorted with the pin in red
Also the blue resistor looks like it got broken in half
tepid knoll
this means "no way to save it" ?
ionic nest
This means go check if what I said is right or not cause it will tell us how badly you screwed up
tepid knoll
I dont have a proper multimeter at home
ionic nest
Just a visual inspection will do
tepid knoll
there is no connection between red and blue
ionic nest
And is the resistor broken ?
ionic nest
I thought you meant this
What I mean is that there should be a resistor at the blue spot
tepid knoll
but there is no resistor
ionic nest
tepid knoll
yea I messed up
ionic nest
but there is no resistor
Well, since the ufl is right on top, I'm assuming this is part of the vtx section and a vtx needs some really clean and smooth power, so that probably fucked it up
Plus there is that capacitor next to it that blew up
tepid knoll
this means the fc is dead
tepid knoll
Well then
This is where my journey ends
I couldnt even fly once

which quads do you own?
All diy,
5" 6s on a demibot frame
6" ul for lr on a tbs aureo
2" 2s 1103 on a bassline frame
And a 0702 65mm

Which tools do you use?
like which soldering iron
etc..
ionic nest
Which tools do you use?
Ts101
A 70yo 2kg caliper that is actually way more accurate than most digital calipers
Ifixit it tweezers and manta kit
The "sexy screwdriver set" from tbs
An omnifixo
A bunch of other stuff I just have laying around on my desk that just come in handy from time to time
ionic nest
working desk?
Yup, just my normal desk,
I do have a workbench with all the tools my grandpa accumulated over the decades, but it's in my basement and I'm too lazy to go in my basement when I want to work on my quads so I just do it on my desk
tepid knoll
I see btw if you dont mind! Where are you from?
tepid knoll
Nice nice
You have your peace
@ionic nest I will buy the Meteor 75 Pro as my last hope
ionic nest
<@1032961812582371329> I will buy the Meteor 75 Pro as my last hope
Don't get the pro version if you don't want to exclusively fly outdoors
Cause that thing is a chonker
ionic nest
like in a big room
The 75pro isn't actually a 75mm
It's an 82mm
It's much bigger in the air than a 75mm
Go with a meteor75 instead
tepid knoll
whats the difference?
ionic nest
The pro uses 45mm props
The standard uses 40mm props
It's actually a big difference
tepid knoll
It's actually a big difference
whats the big difference?
ionic nest
whats the big difference?
I said it twice
tepid knoll
yes but what makes the difference
tepid knoll
is it bad when I have 45mm props and its 82mm
ionic nest
More weight
ionic nest
is it bad when I have 45mm props and its 82mm
If you try to fly it indoors it will be like trying to fly a 5" in a tiny backyard
tepid knoll
If you try to fly it indoors it will be like trying to fly a 5" in a tiny backya...
its fine since I will fly it outside only
ionic nest
its fine since I will fly it outside only
Yeah but at that point might as well go 2s 2" if you only want to fly outdoors if you have a bit of a bigger backyard
tepid knoll
I want a whoop
tepid knoll
I have setup only for 1s
1s batteries
charger for 1s
what do you think about meteor65 pro
is that also like 72mm?
ionic nest
what do you think about meteor65 pro
It's 65mm but 35mm props
It's great
Just throw the gemfan props in the garbage and get some 35mmx3
The 35mmx3 are way better
tepid knoll
There is really no quad which I can fly when I get it
tepid knoll
The 35mmx3 are way better
are the ones on Mobula 6 2024 the 35mmx3
ionic nest
Well, a meteor65pro will fly on some 300mah 1s which is what I assume you have
ionic nest
are the ones on Mobula 6 2024 the 35mmx3
Nope
tepid knoll
its 31MMX3
ionic nest
Gemfan 1208
If you want the full performance of the meteor65pro you need the 35mm props
ionic nest
its 31MMX3
Nope
tepid knoll
I have it next to me
ionic nest
Well then you swapped the props
tepid knoll
No these are the ones that came extra
ionic nest
GF1208
tepid knoll
Just tell me a drone with prop guard to fly lightly indoors and mostly outdoors and I dont have to change a thing
ionic nest
Just tell me a drone with prop guard to fly lightly indoors and mostly outdoors ...
Meteor65pro, you only have to change the props, that's all
It will take you like 10 seconds
tepid knoll
How much difference is there between Meteor65Pro and Meteor75Pro? (Power)
ionic nest
Well, there will be quite a bit of difference, but the meteor65pro will be infinitely better at indoors
