[gaunt creek]

I know

He's a felon

[heavy panther]

[gaunt creek]

No matter what you have the 4000th message

[gaunt creek]

FAA is understaffed

[heavy panther]

hmm, they should just ban drones

if it flies its a drone

and ban drones

meaining birds are drones?

hmm

[midnight dirge]

mmmm

[gaunt creek]

Finished just for you ❤️

@fallen sable look!

[soft pecan]

wow you did it

a deadcat

now the rest!

[gaunt creek]

Yup can't go back now

[queen monolith]

I love that you're still pinging that one person lmao

[gaunt creek]

We need to 3d print the parts for the o4 pro no?

What prints do I need exactly.

[polar ether]

All of them

[azure flax]

walksnail

[gaunt creek]

Bro

No

[azure flax]

yeah maybe

im gonna do it

[gaunt creek]

Its good

But

A bit late for that

[azure flax]

sooo O4?

[gaunt creek]

Could we get a pain reaction in the thread for support please 🙏

[azure flax]

[azure flax]

there

[gaunt creek]

Your the best

Most of the parts are already here

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1stqDDwoMiFmqRTxziLsiQ7YnWge8gvOoavo88aX3eKY/edit?usp=sharing

[azure flax]

what's still shipping?

[gaunt creek]

Here is list

Soldering iron and need to setup 3d printer and figure out what prints I need for the o4 pro to fit my frame @soft pecan knows everything so she will tell me how that stuff works

[azure flax]

and that's why im sticking with whoops for now

[soft pecan]

whoops are the same amount of difficulty

[gaunt creek]

Good choice prolly

[azure flax]

i don't know how to solder 🥲

[soft pecan]

simple to learn, just make sure you get the good gear

it's a life skill

[gaunt creek]

Anything is higher difficulty when I'm involved.

[soft pecan]

might be true

[gaunt creek]

Tell me tell me tell me

What do I 3d print?

[polar ether]

i don't think you need to 3d print anything yet, the frame came with all the 3d printed parts you needed

[gaunt creek]

Even for 04 pro unit?

The 2 VTX antennas and the bigger camera?

[polar ether]

isn't the frame you got specifically for the O4?

[gaunt creek]

It says o3 and people said I could print as needed

If I remember correctly

I triple asked and people insisted the frame can support the o4

[polar ether]

try test-fitting the O4 in to the frame with the gummies it comes with

[gaunt creek]

I will first thing tomorrow

[polar ether]

and for the antennas, yeah you'll probably have to print a holder for them

[gaunt creek]

Figured

[polar ether]

you need this thing

it comes with the O4 version but i can't seem to find the file

[gaunt creek]

Remember o4 pro is bigger than o4

[polar ether]

you could try this

and this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1057694-dji-o4-pro-camera-tpu-mount-for-speedybee-mario-5

[gaunt creek]

Cute thanks!

[polar ether]

actually this one looks like a much better designed modelhttps://makerworld.com/en/models/1125029-speedybee-mario-5-dji-o4-air-unit-pro-antenna-moun#profileId-1124225

Now that you're a 3d printer owner thangs is a great site to search for stuff to print

[gaunt creek]

Isn't this gonna be heavy?

It looks cool tho

[split lichen]

It’s like 5 grams

Which is absolutely nothing on a 5inch

[gaunt creek]

And it being fully incased like that is okay for performance?

[split lichen]

Yes it’s fine

[polar ether]

it won't affect range in any way

[gaunt creek]

Awesome thanks guys

Its all coming together

[polar ether]

make sure to print it in TPU

[gaunt creek]

Duh

Basically done now

[polar ether]

i thought its not built yet?

[gaunt creek]

Lol no

Haven't soldered once

Or even dry built it

Or made a connection plan

Or know how to beta flight

No idea what is getting soldered to what

[polar ether]

it should be easy you're going digital

solder your ESC to the motors and pigtail, your RX, and your VTX just plugs into the FC

also solder your gps

[gaunt creek]

I wanna make a thing like this

[soft pecan]

there's no point

[gaunt creek]

Not sure where to start

[soft pecan]

tx goes to rx

[gaunt creek]

Why not

[soft pecan]

rx goes to tx

5v goes to 5v

gnd goes to gnd

that's literally ALL of what you need to know for your build

you know how to wire everything just knowing those 4 things

[polar ether]

yes, don't be one of those people who connect rx to rx and tx to tx lol

[gaunt creek]

So 4 solder connections only?

Rest is wires?

[polar ether]

well each motor has 3 wires, the pigtail has 2, the rx has 4, and the GPS has 4. So a total of about 19 soldered wires

[gaunt creek]

Is all 19 solders on pads?

[polar ether]

yeah soldering a wire directly onto a pad

[gaunt creek]

I think I can do that

[polar ether]

yes, its very doable

[gaunt creek]

So how do I make one of these?

😊

[polar ether]

you don't have to

thats what this basically is

you basically only solder these 8 wires to the FC

[gaunt creek]

I see so that's 8 out of 19

[polar ether]

the other 11 are on the ESC

and you have to depin the SBUS wire from the O4 unit

[gaunt creek]

Its 21 cuz I have a buzzer right?

[polar ether]

oh yeah i forgot about the buzzer

[gaunt creek]

And the rid module is combined with the GPS but still needs the same soldering?

[polar ether]

The RID module runs in the background, it uses the GPS data but the FC can't tell it's there.

[polar ether]

no additional soldering for RID

[gaunt creek]

So it basically just needs to yoink power

[polar ether]

yeah power and it uses the GPS data

[gaunt creek]

On the fc diagram you have it says vyx dji in the bottom right corner

[polar ether]

[gaunt creek]

VTX(DJI)

That is not necessary cuz I can plug it in?

[polar ether]

there's a plug on the bottom of the FC that uses the same pads

its basically those pads but in a plug made for the O4

[gaunt creek]

Sweet

So where on the ESC is the other 11?

[polar ether]

the xt60 pigtail has two, and each motor has 3 soldered connections.

wait i just realized I cant do math

3*4 is 12 not 9

so the ESC has 14 connections

[gaunt creek]

So 24 total

You have a diagram of the ESC

[polar ether]

here's the one that comes with the speedybee f405 not the one you got but all the connections should be the same

[gaunt creek]

Cool

[hallow oriole]

This is analog anyways didn't you get digital?

[polar ether]

yeah he got an o4

[gaunt creek]

Yeah

[hallow oriole]

So if I remember correctly your VTX will have a power, a ground and an RX and a TX

That's all you do for video

[gaunt creek]

Pro* 😎

[gaunt creek]

Yeah 24 connections total

[gaunt creek]

ESC is alot simpler

[hallow oriole]

Because the wires are pretty big, If you take your time you can make pretty good motor solder joints

[gaunt creek]

Prolly

Maybe

Hopefully 🙏

[hallow oriole]

Lol

[gaunt creek]

The 24 solders look right to you aswell right?

[hallow oriole]

I didn't really look through it, but it should be pretty easy

[gaunt creek]

I don't do easy

[soft pecan]

just solder it upsidedown rightsideup

[gaunt creek]

Huh

[daring falcon]

Don't do what I did and let the cap legs short on the bottom screw

[polar ether]

yeah... it can also short on just the CF #❔help-quick-questions message

[fallen sable]

She's in love with everyone (me)
👉 👈

[fallen sable]

Looks nice!

[gaunt creek]

I know its perfect basically done

Hdz goggles and rapidfire/tbs fusion/speedybee module

Saving this for later 🤙

[split lichen]

Wait what

[midnight dirge]

oh thats the best spreadsheet ive seen thats gone to the top of the board

yup im making one now...

[midnight dirge]

wait have you started building?

[gaunt creek]

Shhhh don't worry about it

[split lichen]

This is not the write channel

Lmfao

[delicate osprey]

Imfao

[split lichen]

Why the fuck did I say right as write

[gaunt creek]

Hey I have a question

Does anyone have any experience setting up or using a buddy box?

And What gague wiring is used for drones?

So I can practice

I want buddies ❤️

[polar ether]

for what part? depends on size of drone and if it's a signal wire or a power-supplying wire

[gaunt creek]

Yes

[gaunt creek]

It is now

[polar ether]

https://oscarliang.com/wires-connectors/

[gaunt creek]

It's a 5 inch Mario 5 speedybee drone

[polar ether]

like trainer mode?

[gaunt creek]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can two pilots control a drone at the same time?

Can one have priority over the other or swap control easily?

[gaunt creek]

Thanks

[polar ether]

you would need two controllers, a master and a slave. the master can turn the slave's authority over the drone on and off

https://manual.edgetx.org/bw-radios/radio-settings/trainer

[gaunt creek]

Sounds kinda hot 😅

I'm not sure which one I wanna be

[polar ether]

just build the drone lol

[gaunt creek]

You ask a lot of me

[polar ether]

then get some sim time instead

[gaunt creek]

I do I can hover now 🤙

And I can fly DJI neo in acrobatic mode ⭐

[polar ether]

yay!

how about a split s?

or hitting gaps?

[gaunt creek]

I'm going to sleep goodnight 😐

[polar ether]

yeah thats also important

gn

[gaunt creek]

Gn

Thanks again for all your guidance

[midnight dirge]

wdym 😭

[gaunt creek]

This is printer and solder friend

He's OK

Could be worse

Thanks...

I get tired sometimes, especially if I have to talk to Para. A lot easier to revert to Tumblr-zoomer speak

[split lichen]

im permanently scarred from what i have seen

[soft pecan]

u r okay

[gaunt creek]

u r ok*

[soft pecan]

[gaunt creek]

Hey! what you mean by that?

[split lichen]

infact its very fire

[soft pecan]

why do you have a sheet for a second drone

also i told you you should've just ordered it off of amazon

[gaunt creek]

you were right! 😭 always right

[soft pecan]

there i made the list for the second drone

[gaunt creek]

@midnight dirge so anyways lets pretend i have the hdzero and the DJI goggles 3

[gaunt creek]

oh no what did you do

lol

[midnight dirge]

can we pretend in the morning

jist remind me

[gaunt creek]

fine. but first thing, breakfast is for winners !

Yonk

[midnight dirge]

wish i had a 3d printer

[gaunt creek]

Just print one

[midnight dirge]

but how do i print one if i dont have the 3d orinter

[gaunt creek]

True rip

[midnight dirge]

:(

[gaunt creek]

Back to make pretend land

Let's say I have hdzero and dji 3 goggles

[midnight dirge]

here we go

[gaunt creek]

And I wanna a 3rd drone thats main purpose is to have fun flying indoors

Do I make or just buy premade for this sinario?

Which video system?

[midnight dirge]

oh you have both

ok so

[gaunt creek]

Analog, hdzero, snail, or dji

[midnight dirge]

fun flying indoors doesnt have stuff like trees and you want the higher latency (i think its called) so hdzero is better

hdzero is also used for racing

[gaunt creek]

Hd zero good for little tiny whoop babies?

[midnight dirge]

mmmmmmhm

[gaunt creek]

Let's also pretend I don't have infinite money because I have been buying shit like crazy

[midnight dirge]

some of the drones are over 100 tho

[midnight dirge]

ah ok

[gaunt creek]

Under 200 is ideal

[midnight dirge]

total

for goggles and whoop

[gaunt creek]

No we pretend I have the goggles

Remember

I'll use whatever of the 4 video systems

Cuz the hdzero can do 3 and Dji can dji

[midnight dirge]

i mean if you have the dji goggles they are compatible with 04 so you can get an 04 whoop

they cost hang on

[gaunt creek]

04 whoops are real?

[midnight dirge]

yes?

search

or i will do it

[gaunt creek]

If I can stay in the dji space I can go a little more expensive on the whoop

[midnight dirge]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=tiny+whoop+dji+04

[gaunt creek]

Nooooo

[midnight dirge]

saw that so felt like using it

[midnight dirge]

well i did a quick 30 secs research and have seen some go perfectly for 199.99

thas $

where is you froms

And even tho it's dji I can use my boxer crush for all of the above right?

[midnight dirge]

is your boxer crush elrs

[gaunt creek]

Yesir

[midnight dirge]

tyhen you have to make sure that the drone is also elrs

[gaunt creek]

Sweet

So I don't even need to go Analog to whoop in a house

That's wild

[midnight dirge]

nop

for example it may give youa list of options

hwy are we doing this theoretically btw

is this for after you build it

pls build it

[gaunt creek]

Build what?

The 5"?

Cuz I'm building that first and ASAP

Waiting on the Pinecil

Its napping in China 🇨🇳

[midnight dirge]

ugh

hate having to wait for stuff

thats gonna be fun af

what rasdio you got

[gaunt creek]

Boxer crush

[midnight dirge]

nice

[gaunt creek]

Do you mean build the teeny tiny whoop?

[midnight dirge]

no the 5"

[gaunt creek]

God I can't wait to be able

I have unironically been enjoying the neo in acro mode so I can't even imagine the 5"

[midnight dirge]

its gonna be hella fun

[gaunt creek]

I got a list of locations with permission to fly, studying up on proper soldering technique, and taking the part 107 test on Tuesday. I've been drones, drones, drones!

[gaunt creek]

I wanna be able to fly 24/7 no sleep no rest that's why I'm interested in whoop for inside

[gaunt creek]

This list is great

[midnight dirge]

ye htey fun

out of that list for indoor mainly

i would recommend one of the smaler whoops

[gaunt creek]

Figured

I'll try and figure put which is the smallest. Unless you know

[midnight dirge]

[gaunt creek]

Oh the mm is right there lol

[midnight dirge]

the meteor65 is a good choice

it doesnt say it at the top but if you scroll down to the spec list its elrs

[gaunt creek]

Nice buying 5 of them rn 👍

[midnight dirge]

https://betafpv.com/collections/batt-1s/products/lava-1s-300mah-75c-battery-5pcs

dont forget you batteries

oyu can always get some spare canopies aswell

[gaunt creek]

Canopies?

[midnight dirge]

https://betafpv.com/products/canopy-for-o4-air-unit

[gaunt creek]

Ah

Is that the most likely part to break?

[midnight dirge]

ye generally

a few of tyhose

you can get some frames aswell if oyu want

[heavy panther]

Are you building a tinywhoop?

[midnight dirge]

no

he wanna fly 24/7

so after hes built the 5"

he gonna buy the meteor 65 04

[heavy panther]

Oh hell yeah

I also should get a whoop

Hm

[midnight dirge]

most definitely

just quick tip if you have a dog (more specifically a cockaspaniel thats the spawn of satan) DO NOT go near them cause they will jump and possibly get it

as i have ALMOST just learnt the hard way

[gaunt creek]

Sounds good now we can talk about drone number 4!

[heavy panther]

noted, as my dog is a hyperactive monster

[heavy panther]

whats drone #3?

[midnight dirge]

when was 2!?!?!?

[heavy panther]

this whoop is second no?

oh maybe the neo?

[midnight dirge]

ye i crashed into my bird feeder and he mustve heard it hit this metal sheet

[gaunt creek]

Look at the spreadsheet

[heavy panther]

lol

[midnight dirge]

thats the best spreadsheet ive ever seen btw

[gaunt creek]

Thanks I learned just for droning

[heavy panther]

the text is a bit too small, i cant read it...\

[gaunt creek]

I like spreadsheets now if y'all ever want help making one @ me

[midnight dirge]

hehe im dming you rn

[gaunt creek]

@soft pecan did that

[heavy panther]

shouldve made the text larger

[gaunt creek]

You want help with a spreadsheet?

[midnight dirge]

sure

can i send a parts lsit?

[soft pecan]

i can help too

ill decorate it

[heavy panther]

Para's new full time job

[midnight dirge]

oooo yay

[gaunt creek]

Sweet yes

[heavy panther]

making spreadsheets

[midnight dirge]

i dm?

[gaunt creek]

I'm busy for a while for brothers birthday can I help with it tonight

[gaunt creek]

Sure

[midnight dirge]

whenever you want

[gaunt creek]

Yeah tonight I'll help

[heavy panther]

this thread should be in #1144565832828072080 , as it contains literally every single possible fpv releated question ever

[gaunt creek]

Can it be moved?

[heavy panther]

prolly not

[gaunt creek]

Then no

Yay now I can make spreadsheets without spending money!

[heavy panther]

yeah ik it was a joke mostly

[gaunt creek]

Maybe that can be my niche in this server. After asking questions of course

[hot bear]

How does this thread have 4600 messages

[gaunt creek]

We are not trying hard enough thats how

We NEED more

[midnight dirge]

talkative peeps

[split lichen]

It’s not great

[gaunt creek]

Why's that?

[split lichen]

3/4 of those are cinewhoops

[gaunt creek]

I see

[split lichen]

It needs to be 2s, heavy

Para

Finish the build

How free are you today

[gaunt creek]

Not much

[gaunt creek]

Cant

[split lichen]

Ok maybe not today then

[gaunt creek]

No Pinecil

[midnight dirge]

im aware

[split lichen]

Then why did you send it

[gaunt creek]

so 1/4 of them arnt

[gaunt creek]

What would you choose as an indoor tiny whoop?

[split lichen]

air65

[vague solar]

we have come a long way

[gaunt creek]

I use spectrum pla yonk

[gaunt creek]

Definitely

https://betafpv.com/products/air65-brushless-whoop-quadcopter?variant=41111519494278

[gaunt creek]

This cute little guy?

[median fable]

Yep

That’s the one

And you can freestyle (and race) with the race one better according to Joshua bardwell😂

[gaunt creek]

What's the downside of the race one?

[median fable]

Lower battery life

[gaunt creek]

And which video system is?

[median fable]

That’s analog

[gaunt creek]

How low we talkin

[median fable]

He got 3:15 with the race one and 4:00 with the freestyle

[gaunt creek]

Not terrible for what it is

[median fable]

Keep in mind batteries are hecka cheap too

Like $25 for 4

[median fable]

Yeah

[gaunt creek]

So land at lower voltages is not the end of the world as you damage them you'll replace?

[median fable]

People do tend to do that

[gaunt creek]

Would you?

[median fable]

I would still land them at a reasonable voltage but I wouldn’t be as worried about it

[gaunt creek]

I personally would like to make things last as long as possible

[gaunt creek]

That makes sense

[gaunt creek]

If it happens it happens but don't plan on it

Cool thanks for info

[median fable]

Yep👍👍

[median fable]

Yeah no problem 👍

[midnight dirge]

whoops have to be one of the funnest rype of drone

cheap, simple and are built like a nokia

[median fable]

Yep

[gaunt creek]

the esun one on amazon is decent
[4:48 PM]
i mean for TPU you need to dry it you dont need a filament dryer tho
[4:48 PM]
u can do the bed method perfectly fine
[4:48 PM]
thats how ive always done it

[polar ether]

How’s the drone build going, @gaunt creek ?

[gaunt creek]

going to puerto rico for a week before the soldering iron even gets here

[midnight dirge]

noooooooooooooo

https://tenor.com/view/ali187xr-gif-23052876

[gaunt creek]

Rip

[gaunt creek]

Practice boards and spare arms came in before Pinecil.

Pinecil just came into America

So it's getting closer

[polar ether]

yay! congrats man!

[gaunt creek]

I don't have adrone lol

[polar ether]

Could be a problem🤣

[wet fox]

is this just the trust or is this 107

or something else

[gaunt creek]

If I got 82% on trust I would give up flying

It's 107

[midnight dirge]

you go girl

[gaunt creek]

Ty Ty

A Fool got the part 107 before even having a drone and is ready for the easy part.

[soft pecan]

now you can't claim stupidity when you get caught flying alone

[gaunt creek]

Yay!

[gaunt creek]

Jokes on you I always claim stupidity

[midnight dirge]

XD

[soft pecan]

straight to jail

[wet fox]

para, are u just allergic to building?

[gaunt creek]

You wanna see one of my DJI Neo flights?

Sure!

[wet fox]

haha sure

[gaunt creek]

https://youtu.be/dRJrSafoPRs

@fallen sable look at my epic pro deluxe freestyle extravaganza

[soft pecan]

you're crashing the new drone instantly

[daring falcon]

Please practice a bit more in the sim

[midnight dirge]

Pls more sim practice before the 5”

[gaunt creek]

All of you guys 😭 suck

[fallen sable]

Yes 👉👈

[split lichen]

Is this you

[gaunt creek]

Yes

[split lichen]

Duuudddeee

[gaunt creek]

What?

[split lichen]

You said you had more space then that

You can’t fly a 5inch in your yard

[soft pecan]

nah 5" trust me

[gaunt creek]

I do my house is 2 minutes away from fields

[split lichen]

Ah

Ok good

[gaunt creek]

Lol of course not

And also I'm moving soonish to an even more rural area

[gaunt creek]

I can't help but think you are ready to watch me fail

[soft pecan]

i am

[gaunt creek]

😨

[soft pecan]

wibble wobble like that on the 3.5" you're building and someone's dying

it'll be either an ant or your window

[gaunt creek]

I'm building a 5"....

[soft pecan]

wait you were actually silly enough to do a 5" even after the whole like hour I spent convincing you to do a 3.5"?

lol

[gaunt creek]

Wait

Send help

[soft pecan]

it'll be fineee

just go to an open field!

with nothing around!

[gaunt creek]

@split lichen said go 5"

[gaunt creek]

I would never crash

[split lichen]

What

WHAT

[soft pecan]

a 3.5" has a lot more options for places to fly

[gaunt creek]

I'm throwing you under a bus

[split lichen]

he said he was rural and wanted cruising

[soft pecan]

i am rural and i would still pick a 3.5" if I only had one choice

[split lichen]

Hmm

Oopsie

[soft pecan]

since damn it is fun to maybe drive 30 minutes to a walmart parking lot

and hit gaps

[gaunt creek]

I'm gonna die!

I am rural tho just not my house 🏠

2 minute drive to one place 6 to another and 8 from a huge place all safe big and confirmed

[gaunt creek]

So it's time to talk about drone number 4?

[split lichen]

Imma get some new motors

[gaunt creek]

Yeah why's that?

[split lichen]

They are all bent

I wonder if my 2S lipos are ok

[brave moth]

do they spin

[hallow oriole]

Do they grind?

[gaunt creek]

Put them in water to clean them off. Then sand them to smooth out bumps. Then give them privacy in the middle of your house preferably on wood to dry.

[hallow oriole]

Wait you already got your 107? @gaunt creek

[gaunt creek]

Lol duh

[hallow oriole]

Lmfao how hard was it

[gaunt creek]

I don't mess around

[hallow oriole]

I need to get mine

[gaunt creek]

Middle of the pack

Not the worst

[hallow oriole]

What did you study with?

And where did you take it?

I can't believe the time has already come for me to be the one asking questions to you

[gaunt creek]

Pilot Instatute

And a lot of random youtube

[hallow oriole]

Epic

[gaunt creek]

To find a testing center you use iacra and shit but pilot instatute hand holds you through each step

[hallow oriole]

And how much did it all cost 😂

[gaunt creek]

I completed only 72% of pilot I statute and still passed.

Instatutw 150 and test itself 175

[hallow oriole]

Pain

[gaunt creek]

You absolutly can skip on the instatue portion

As long as you know where to look

Later if you want I can hop on a call with you and make you a lesson plan

[hallow oriole]

I might take you up on that, thanks lol

[gaunt creek]

Also look at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1stqDDwoMiFmqRTxziLsiQ7YnWge8gvOoavo88aX3eKY/edit?usp=sharing

I made a part 107 resource section

[hallow oriole]

Ahh

[gaunt creek]

You know me

Its Para Answer guy

[hallow oriole]

Para (Answerer of questions)

[gaunt creek]

Lol maybe not yet

[median fable]

MUTED

what?!

[hallow oriole]

shhh

i be sayin things

[median fable]

Danggg

Well not a minute ago you weren’t

[hallow oriole]

[median fable]

[gaunt creek]

What's the problem?

[gaunt creek]

ready when you are 👀

[hallow oriole]

I dunno if ill have time today but if i do ill ping you within about 3 hours lol

[gaunt creek]

sounds like a plan

currently working on @midnight dirge s drone spreadsheet I will become a answerer soon and I will be unstoppable

[midnight dirge]

XD

[gaunt creek]

Just made it back

[soft pecan]

waow

[gaunt creek]

Has anyone here taken a plane with their fpv drone?

What do you do about lipos?

[soft pecan]

check with your airline for the policies

[gaunt creek]

Gotta get practice wire for solder practice what gauge I get?

Gonna build it this week

No matter what

[midnight dirge]

gasp uts finally here

[soft pecan]

28awg bntechgo silicon

[gaunt creek]

Ty ty

[gaunt creek]

Also when the time comes how will I know what get soldered to what?

[gaunt creek]

https://www.newegg.com/p/0PY-012A-00217

This good?

[gaunt creek]

And this is the same stuff I'll be using on the drone right?

[soft pecan]

by looking

[soft pecan]

yes but not on newegg

[soft pecan]

yes

[gaunt creek]

Thanks

[soft pecan]

did you expect a better answer

[gaunt creek]

Where?!

[soft pecan]

you see a 5v pad where do you think that goes

[gaunt creek]

Idk

[soft pecan]

the 5v pad on the thing you want to wire it to?

crazy

you see a transmit (tx) pad where does that go

to the receive (rx) pad on the thing you want to wire it to

waow now you know how to wire a drone

[gaunt creek]

What's a 5v pad

[gaunt creek]

Lol

Thanks

[soft pecan]

search up the basics of electricity

[gaunt creek]

What's the basics of electricity? 🤔

[gaunt creek]

Please tell me there is a place i can get this in person so i can start building this weekend🙏

[gaunt creek]

Also what strategy do you use to build up so much patience?

[soft pecan]

decades of suffering

[gaunt creek]

Where buy

[soft pecan]

amazon

[gaunt creek]

Fuck

[soft pecan]

ping

[gaunt creek]

Amazon killing my country

[gaunt creek]

@soft pecan?

[soft pecan]

certain famous golfer is

[gaunt creek]

Yes that too

[gaunt creek]

Amazon, homedepot, target, Apple, Google, TESLA/X, microsoft, belong to golfer

So I don't use the above when possible

[soft pecan]

they all belong to the glorious regime

who you shall support under all circumstances

[gaunt creek]

I know

[soft pecan]

then buy it off newegg dang it

[gaunt creek]

Local communities

[gaunt creek]

If I can't find it locally I'm not gonna be able to build this week 😖

[ruby ice]

this has gotta be the longest thread in this server at this point

[gaunt creek]

Not yet car talk got us beat

[gaunt creek]

Highest guage they got is 20 😦

[soft pecan]

if only you had ordered it online

your drone comes with enough wires to assemble it and not more

[gaunt creek]

But but practice

[gaunt creek]

I did

But only yesterday

[soft pecan]

if it is just practice then why does the wire gauge matter so much

[gaunt creek]

Cause you told me to get this size

[gaunt creek]

See look

[gaunt creek]

That was your response silly goose

[soft pecan]

yes for the drone

but why does it matter if all you want is practice

[unreal cargo]

i feel like i said this

[gaunt creek]

i yonk messages and store them here

[unreal cargo]

ight

[soft rock]

Im late to the party

What is this thread about again?

[heavy panther]

Para going for the msg count record

[soft rock]

Isnt it aleready this thread?

[heavy panther]

Yeah prolly

I wonder if para started the building process

Im not sure

[soft rock]

Lol

[wet fox]

@gaunt creek did you ever do that build you have all the parts for lol

[gaunt creek]

Lol why would I do that?

I have a neo

Also no 😔

Cuz I'm waiting on practice wire

[gaunt creek]

Got a part 107 license for some reason tho..

[wet fox]

im so confused

doing everything except building this drone

[gaunt creek]

What's confusing?

[gaunt creek]

Ah yeah

[wet fox]

if no build, wanna give me the parts?

[gaunt creek]

That

[wet fox]

i build

and keep

[gaunt creek]

O

[wet fox]

and fly

[gaunt creek]

No

[wet fox]

https://tenor.com/view/trade-offer-gif-22327121

[gaunt creek]

Lol nice try

[wet fox]

so close

[gaunt creek]

Need wire to practice soldering so I can not destroy the parts

[wet fox]

just find old free electrical appliances on craigslist and steal the wire

wire is wire

[gaunt creek]

But @soft pecan told me to practice with a specific wire and I ordered it already

[wet fox]

yea...

[soft pecan]

what did i do

you asked what wire is good for drone

28awg is

[gaunt creek]

False

[wet fox]

i just mean, u can practice w/o having to wait for the wire to arrive

or just get wire from hardware store

like dont use it on the actual build tho

[soft pecan]

damn im a filthy liar

[gaunt creek]

Evidence

[gaunt creek]

Let's just all agree that the reason this drone is taking so long is all your fault

More specifically not my fault

[soft pecan]

sadly you can't put that on me

[gaunt creek]

Worth a shot

[gaunt creek]

I got the part 107 2 months after learning what a drone is. I'm fast as feck.

[soft pecan]

have not flown drone

go build it alreadyu

[gaunt creek]

Neo* 😖

[soft pecan]

don't see how that changes what I said smh smh

shaking my smh

[gaunt creek]

@fallen sable guess what came in the mail!

[gaunt creek]

Literally while we were talking about it

[soft pecan]

okay will you build and finish it now

[gaunt creek]

Oh wait I need a wire stripper 🤔

[soft pecan]

no

[median fable]

Fingernails work

@gaunt creek there’s gotta be some extra wires with you, like, is there any extra wired connectors it comes with

[gaunt creek]

Look

[median fable]

Wait is that not insulated?

Or do I not have eyes and it’s just solder

[gaunt creek]

I got the wire I just need wire stripper

[median fable]

Fingernails work fine tbh

[gaunt creek]

Alright fine then I need aaaa...

[soft pecan]

you need to build it

[median fable]

Yep

[gaunt creek]

Workstation?!

To build on!

[median fable]

Any table or desk will be fine

Or floor

So I’m sure you have that

[gaunt creek]

Heck

But but

I don't have ham radio license

[median fable]

Neither do I

And it’s fine

And I have 2 ham radios

[gaunt creek]

Guys I'm running out of excuses

[queen monolith]

For what it's worth, it's super easy to get the Technician level

[median fable]

Wait stop

Para just needs to build it

[queen monolith]

Oh lmao right you still haven't built it 😭

[gaunt creek]

You're right

[median fable]

PARA NO

ITS NOT NECESSARY

ITS UNRELATED

[queen monolith]

Most people don't have one anyway

[gaunt creek]

Lol alright fine ill start practicing my soldering tomorrow

[median fable]

No

Now

Nowww

[queen monolith]

You're really just collecting all the roles, huh

[gaunt creek]

Can't Flynn wants me working on it tomorrow 😌

[queen monolith]

Hey woah woah woah let's not jump to conclusions here; I'm just happy you'll be building it sometime

The sooner the better, obviously

Unless you actually feel like you want to practice soldering more, in which case take a day to practice, sure

[gaunt creek]

I have spoken in all categories and will buy things and spreadsheet for all of them 👀

[gaunt creek]

See what he said take a day

[queen monolith]

Only if you feel you actually need it

[gaunt creek]

See see!

Not my fault, all Flynn

[soft pecan]

Para you need to build it today

finish it today

[gaunt creek]

I'll compromise

And start practice

Its 50 min till bedtime and I got a lot of work tomorrow

[gaunt creek]

Sufficent?

Shhh

I'm trying to make excuses

[gaunt creek]

All right all solder gear ready

5000th message yippie! Wahoo! We are half way there! Then once we are at 10k we just gotta double it.

WHY WOULD YOU DO GO!?

You almost took the 5000th message!

I know where you live and have lipos

[median fable]

Wait why don’t I have any roles

I already actually built a drone
