@soft pecan hey, so i have rlly bad 65hz vibrations on my 3.5" build and someone suggested it's because i have the cap stuck down but am using the stock wires and not replacing them with motor wires or something like that

*not extending just replacing

any advice on how to solder stranded motor wires to solid core cap legs

#

i genuinely feel like i remember telling you to leave it floating

#

lol

wet fox
#

yea

#

then i stopped leaving it floating bc the leads were really long and it was touching the frame anyways

#

and someone told me that was the cause of the vibration

stark flower
wet fox
#

yea i have like 0 space

#

u can see in that picture it's like a quarter inch from camera

#

was also getting some weird stuff where with abrupt movements it woudl hit the camera

#

the cap is bent at like 90 degrees so the long side is facing the fc and the vtx cable is running in between the fc and the cap

#

it's really bad

wet fox
#

and any other sources of vibration you'd recomend looking at

#

i was thinking of taking off all the tpu bc maybe that's somehow causing it?? idk im really confused at this point bc i feel like i checked everyting

This item also exists for the conveince reason of rigid cap legs like you are experincing.

Are you tired of trying to solder wires on those pesky little capacitor leads? Step your builds up a notch with WaFL’s Cap Cap.

# hollow venture How easy is it to setup 3d

In sim its just a single thing IIRC.
IRL its not terribly hard, mainly just a few switches and some ESC settings changes.

Ideally you want 32bit ESC's as they are better for this.
As well as propper 3d dedicated propellers.

hollow venture

It’s not in either of the sims I got

Okay

@soft pecan i got to do a battery training thing at work and i now know how to build a battery from scratch

Kind of

#

We took the raw materials and mixed them and applied them to the anode and cathode and then sealed it in a pouch with the electrolyte

It was super cool

But

#

You do have to talk to people in real life

soft pecan

can't I just do a 100 email long email chain

#

and then just show up

hallow oriole
#

Honestly probably

#

I don't think you could show up here but i think you could find a place

shadow bolt
hallow oriole
#

Yknow when we filled the pouches with electrolytes we had to use this little airlock machine and then do the whole process through gloves in a completely argon filled container

shadow bolt
#

I just run 4 omnis and have all the penetration I need

#

but also I don't need a lot of penetration

#

so do with that as you will

hallow oriole

I do already have two x2 air, assuming the ones on my ws gx will work

hallow oriole
#

Uhhhh i have no idea

soft pecan

so you would have to swap the connector

Its also lhcp iirc

#

and walk up to them while they are having a lab

soft pecan
#

I could never

shadow bolt
#

statistically if you do it enough time you will make a battery one day

or just steal their crap and make the battery yourself

with varying degrees of legality

all you need is a big enough forklift

hallow oriole

hallow oriole
# shadow bolt yeah that's what I meant

Maybe we were cutting something to the micron, i forget. There was some crazy stuff tho. The anode and cathodes get mixed as a paste and then applied to the copper and aluminum super thin

hallow oriole
#

How you gonna get it to the right thickness

shadow bolt
#

squeeze it real hard

#

or chemical etching

#

or sanding

hallow oriole
#

You cant sand it. That makes dust. We are in a clean room. The other thing is that it must be completely uniformly the same thickness

#

We squeezed it real hard

#

But not too hard

shadow bolt
hallow oriole
#

Lmao well yeah

#

But still

#

Point is everything is ridiculously precise

shadow bolt

now imagine making atomically smooth optics

that's the fun stuff

Ah yeah optics are also insane

I haven't seen it in person tho

soft pecan

and then taxes

hallow oriole

#

What analog vrx does it come with

shadow bolt

issue with antennas is that whatever you do people will complain

soft pecan

it's okay that they want more extended testing

there's always going to be people that do, and I feel that it is sad that a company like HDZero isn't doing that themselves

#

same with the clearview system and such

shadow bolt
#

I'd assume they did but wouldn't publish it since otherwise a thousand people would say "not but it's biased cause they are selling the rx so financial incentive" which fair enough but also who has the big money equipment they have

soft pecan
#

well then it is a

#

"prove it wrong" situation

#

which then provides incentive for other people to set up proper testing themselves

#

and so it kickstarts the FPV independent testing industry once again

same kind of way it is with CPU's and GPU's

fair enough

# shadow bolt Well, can't find too much on the second hand market for less than 200 bucks

Rapidfire and HDZ pretty much killed their market.
CV really only sold to racer's.
Not many freestyle people cared enough for the extra costs.

Rapidfire was pretty much as CV good for 1/2 the cost and a good UI not a cancer UI like CV 1 and the module have.
So around then is when was the time to grab them.

Then remainder got dumped when HDZ became the race go to.

and not days later

batteries don't really randomly fail mid air

heavy panther
shadow bolt
#

except if you seriously fucked up and broke the connections inside

but it doesn't look like it

I never had a broken bat before

shadow bolt
#

it looks perfectly fine

And i found the batt separate of the drone

batteries can take abuse

shadow bolt
#

if there's still voltage and it doesn't smell sweet, that's a mighty fine pack

heavy panther
#

I just dont want to have a potential fire hazard in my home

heavy panther
#

The smell.... Is it some sort of gas leaking?

shadow bolt
#

or charge it

#

that's why you should use ammo boxes

(with the seal removed)

but it's fiiiiine (this is not legal advice)

I once found myself in a room with a dozen of those people

#

I wonder if they just lack noses

#

how do they not succumb from it

#

I would not survive this smell all day

heavy panther
#

I mean... You get used to it to some degree if you wear it every day, and then you just not realize the sheer strength of the smell

stark flower
#

They get used to it or don't have as strong as smell sense as you do.

heavy panther
#

So... Is the bat 100% dead? I would guess so cuz leaving it potentially discharged for a month isnt really good Harold

shadow bolt
#

just grab a multimeter and check the voltage

#

if it's close enough to storage voltage, then it'll survive

#

(like 3.7-3.9 is -acceptable-)

heavy panther
#

Oh yeah thats true... I forgot that u can just do stuff with electricty

heavy panther
shadow bolt
#

it won't be super happy to stay at a much lower or higher voltage but it will likely still survive a month fully charged

#

ye

#

that's what a balance lead is for

heavy panther
#

Ohhhh, right

#

So just one probe to the negative wire and one to one of the positive ones

shadow bolt
#

you check the voltage across two neighboring pins

#

and check each pair

heavy panther
#

Huh? i still have soo much to learn

shadow bolt
heavy panther
#

Oh thats interesting

#

So the cells are connected by the negative wire?

shadow bolt
#

they are just connected together

#

it's a tad silly to say negative or positive wire when it goes from the positive of one battery to the negative of another

heavy panther
#

True

shadow bolt
#

colors are just here to make reading it easier

heavy panther
#

Dang thats clever and confusing at the same time

shadow bolt
#

I mean, it's just breaking out the tabs on the cells so they can be accessed from outside

heavy panther
#

But what is in this case balance lead 1? Ground?

shadow bolt
#

well yes

#

and between 1-2 is cell 1, cell2 is 2-3, cell 3 is 3-4

heavy panther
#

Ohhhhhh, that makes so much sense

shadow bolt
#

as most things do (when actually thought out)

heavy panther
#

I...kinda understand it now

This video may help you understand some of it further, the good bit starts ~6min in when he goes to whiteboard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIbHLacozFo

While I'm editing up the UHF RC series I thought I'd post this video showing a simple solution to getting an unbalanced lithium battery (lipo) to balance if one or more cells are significantly low.

The simple lead shown in this video makes it easy to charge the cells individually and the video explains why most cheap balance chargers have so mu...

# median fable How<a:why2:1161163389297504299>

So I was practicing a tight powerloop around a metal swing and I crashed a bit. It was still flying amazing so I just rolled with but then when I went to the other side of my house it lost video feed immediately. So I realized I lost the vtx antenna in a field full of tall wet grass 😁 otherwise the drone didn't seem to care that I was soaking it all day

#

It still flys great but I'm learning why you need an antenna

median fable

Well just buy a new one

That’s an easy thing

The all powerful @soft pecan. The only reason I got to fly a whoop in the first place with her great wisdom forseen this problem that I the sketch pilot has created. So with her advice to buy spare antennas that was also picked for me I bought them from a store that @soft pecan taught me how to use. As repentance for my sin I request forgiveness through the means of you naming me as you wish for today. 🙇

@soft pecan is it okay to use a nano recivier and electrical tape for this while I wait?

Or is a different antenna bad?

soft pecan

i

#

okay

#

a lot of things here

tropic wyvern
#

uh oh

soft pecan
#

that is not a 5.8GHz antenna is it

#

it needs to match the frequency or you might as well not have an antenna

#

other than that, that amount of tape weighs a noticeable amount

#

you are better off using some type of glue like e6000 or even 422c to try and hold it

or some other thing like liquid tape or some fancy 3m solution

Talk to me brutus

is there any way to keep blackbox from logging all the flights in one file?

drowsy lily

it was an OG air unit and no there wasn't any hidden battery lol

must be on board capacitance on the air unit, or maybe the motors generating enough power? i dunno

theres another twist too.. the plane at the point in the video was like ~1km away from me when i lost it... it did a 180 and flew towards me, landed perfectly intact ~150 meters away
