Para's House. (Goodbye)

[graceful bluff]

What a vibe

[tropic wyvern]

Yay

[gaunt creek]

it was so mush more complicated than that. but its working

[soft pecan]

shouldn't have been

[gaunt creek]

had to do 4 firmware updates

[soft pecan]

as you do with anything new you get

[wet fox]

🍪

[tropic wyvern]

:333

[queen monolith]

Wowee crazy shallow depth of field

[tropic wyvern]

Yeah it was dark with not much light lol

[gaunt creek]

random question can the 3 in one here work oustide of dji? https://betafpv.com/products/matrix-1s-brushless-flight-controller-hd?variant=41474014150790 it goes literally say boen for the o4. still i was wondering

[soft pecan]

the only thing I could think of is that it might not have an OSD chip on it for analog

but besides that no there's nothing speicifc

[gaunt creek]

what would that do

[soft pecan]

analog is well... analog

you wire the camera into the flight controller OSD chip and it adds OSD to the video signal, then you output that to the vtx

[gaunt creek]

yeah but without osd chip does that mean no osd

[soft pecan]

only for analog

[gaunt creek]

question of the day why meteor 75 vs meteor 65 again?

thoght small equil good

flight time right?

[soft pecan]

75mm bigger

o4 is heavy as hell

it needs it

if you are not doing dji but are doing like hdzero

yeah you can do 65mm

[gaunt creek]

another random question

[gaunt creek]

Regardless of video system what do you think is the best fpv drone for indoor flying?

also @solemn cairn the radio audio change has rebuilt my spirits to full! ill never give up!

[tropic wyvern]

WHAT THE FUCK

[gaunt creek]

Wat?

[hot bear]

shortmessages next evolution will be shortmustache

[hot bear]

this is how blue energydrinks are made

[tropic wyvern]

[hot bear]

Uhm @solemn cairn

I think I found the issue...

I'm gonna replace it next weekend and hope it didn't take too much damage from being at 1.5w basically without antenna for at least 30s

wait

shouldnt it have still touched when it was assembled?

hmm

ah yeah I forgot the whole thing didnt turn on

so the antenna is probably not the only issue then#

[solemn cairn]

there is a wire running directly ontop of the gyro

make it not do that

just solder it to a 5v at the front

[hot bear]

theres none left

[solemn cairn]

then just double up?

[hot bear]

and it isnt powering anything, its connected to the connector for a servo but I dont use a servo

[solemn cairn]

then remove it

[hot bear]

but yeah I might just resolder it

[solemn cairn]

it could cause problems like that

[hot bear]

its for my still noneistent claw mechanism tho

[stark flower]

Well the good news is even a broken shitty antenna like that.
Should have provided some protection for the VTX's power amp.

If the VTX is a good reputable brand you'll probably OK.

[hot bear]

the vtx (tbs unify pro32 hv) is not lighting up since my crash today

actually not sice my crash, but since my turtle attempt

[stark flower]

Oh.
It may be damaged in an other way then.
Double check power wiring to it.

[hot bear]

yeah I'll disassemble it a bit more today or tomorrow

the wiring is quite tight

[gaunt creek]

Just tune it silly

[hot bear]

its already tuned

[gaunt creek]

Turn it off and on again

[hot bear]

[shadow bolt]

Might not actually be that far off from being a monopole of the correct lenght

Tho the hollow part might fuck up with it

[hot bear]

yeah then thats not the problem

[shadow bolt]

Uhm, I wouldn't say that either

[hot bear]

not the main problem

I'm gonna wash it with some Iso next weekend

cause the vtx is dirty af

[unreal cargo]

Does anyone have any tips for how to cut down on weight? I have a 3.5 inch drone that's a few grams over the 250g limit. I was thinking of taking off the Express LRS module and using smaller batteries. Is there anything else I can do?

[shadow bolt]

You aren't gonna go very far without a receiver, also could we see the quad ? Not much we can do without knowing what you did

[hot bear]

shorter wires, lighter battery, removing as many 3d prints as possible, or just dont care abt weight

[unreal cargo]

I fly with a DJI radio

[shadow bolt]

If you fly with a DJI radio (ew) and not an elrs radio why do you have an elrs receiver inside to start with

[hot bear]

holy jank

[shadow bolt]

Also there's a bunch of needless wires in there

[hot bear]

dont use an adapter for the battery on the wuad

[shadow bolt]

And a useless adaptor

And a huge capacitor that's doing precisely nothing at all

[unreal cargo]

People told me to add it, so I did

[shadow bolt]

Wut

Well you need one if you fly elrs

[hot bear]

they probably didnt expect you to fly with the dji radio

[shadow bolt]

If you use a DJI radio (ew again) then it won't do anything

[unreal cargo]

So where do I put the capacitor?

[shadow bolt]

You use a smaller one (could use one half the size) and put it on the battery leads on the aio

On the battery connector it's useless

[hot bear]

I just accidentally vacuumed my stack nuts

[shadow bolt]

My carpet steals my nuts all the time

[unreal cargo]

Sounds like a euphemism for a BJ

[unreal cargo]

How do I know what capacitance I need?

[shadow bolt]

By listening to my "trust me bro" advice

But you could get something like a 470uf capacitor

Could go smaller easily

[unreal cargo]

16V is what I want, right? https://pyrodrone.com/products/flyfishrc-unicon-uph-16v-470uf-8x12mm-capacitor-10-pcs?_pos=14&_sid=4e0601b39&_ss=r

[shadow bolt]

(assuming 4s)
Nonono, you want 25v or more, capacitors are here to deal with voltage spikes, which can be much higher than the nominal voltage of your batteries

These would go on like a 2s quad

[unreal cargo]

Thank you both for the advice. I'll give it a shot

@shadow bolt random question, could my capacitor being on the power cable and not dealing with voltage spikes be why my drone occasionally hitches mid flight?

[shadow bolt]

That would just be the pidtune freaking out sometimes a tad

[solemn cairn]

if you have wires run over the top of the fc that could also do it

[unreal cargo]

So what's a better way to cable manage my drone?

[solemn cairn]

so you do have wires run over the top?

[unreal cargo]

Yes. I figured since I have an AIO board that I could put the wires in that empty space

[solemn cairn]

you can either secure them so they cant touch the fc or run them under or move the pads they are soldered to to the other side

the twitch you have is probably them tapping on the top of the fc

[unreal cargo]

I'll secure them better and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the help

Yaeee

[ruby ice]

second parcel guys, got a third coming today

[hallow oriole]

Have you been running ws or is this your first time?

[ruby ice]

first time, this is my first build

only reason i didnt go with hdz and boxpros is cause i wanna do headtracking stuff with fixed wings and allat later

so ws ecosystem for now

[ruby ice]

why do you ask, is there something i should be aware of?

[hallow oriole]

Im just curious how it goes for you. I spent a ton of money getting gX, the high wattage ws vtx, antenna replacements, etc. and had some hiccups.

Truth be told im not sure how it performs as it stands right now, i just haven't gotten the chance to test it. Theoretically i should get some ridiculous range now but it was a rough start.

[ruby ice]

ill let you know, frame just arrived so im gonna dry fit the stuff that i have rn and see how it goes

im doing a 3" volador build so it might be slightly tight but meh

using dual antenna version so hopefully thats good

[soft pecan]

don't hdzero goggles have head tracking built in?...

[ruby ice]

wait do they

meh goggles L are still cheaper than boxpros, and ive got the ws vtx now so

[soft pecan]

boxpro's and normal ones do

i assume it'd just connect over elrs backpack

[ruby ice]

mm is what it is ig

why is there 35 m2*6 screws lmfao

[ruby ice]

just beautiful

dont have the aio yet so i cant dry fit that or trim motor wires but its looking good now

a friend has a roll of translucent blue tpu so im gonna get him to print replacements of all the tpu stuff, think thatll work with the motors

[hallow oriole]

Ah ok. I couldn't tell if i was noticing latency over analog or if it was just an untuned 7", I really should have isolated new things as i tried them lol

[ruby ice]

@gaunt creek how in the world do you afford batts for all your quads man dayum theyre expensive

[ruby ice]

also what you think of the 3"

you reckon some blue tpu prints with matching props might look nice?

[solemn cairn]

your camera is going to die mounted like that

[hollow venture]

yes

[ruby ice]

yeah ik i fixed it earlier

its plenty inside now

[hollow venture]

Does that fit?

[hot bear]

Damm

[hollow venture]

When did para first start

[hallow oriole]

not more than a month before this

i think

[ruby ice]

dayum this thread is kinda old

wait how much has para spent now

[soft pecan]

no thatr's not true

[ruby ice]

isnt it like 8k or something now

[soft pecan]

at least 5k

[ruby ice]

5k in 5 months if you go off that screen shot

[split lichen]

Jesus

[soft pecan]

but probably way less if you exclude the tools

and para only bought the fancy shit

[split lichen]

Is that my fault

[soft pecan]

that will last long enough for their grandchildren to use

so like, epic

[ruby ice]

para should write a book, "How to give your children expensive, high maintenance, finnicky toys"

[hallow oriole]

How long were they here before the thread was started? Surely not more than two months?

[soft pecan]

exactly 5 hours and 21 minutes

[hallow oriole]

Sounds like i was pretty accurate then right?

Or did they build a quad before joining

[soft pecan]

i meant more like it can't have been that long already

[hallow oriole]

Oh lmfao

[dusk basin]

I wonder if Para has saw the majestic side of #✈️fixed-wings yet

[unreal cargo]

We discovered this hobby February 15th. He got his TRUST certification the 16th

[hollow venture]

nice

[unreal cargo]

2 days

We bought the Neo (our 1st drone) after joining, and after @gaunt creek bought the Goggles 3 and locked us into DJI

[hollow venture]

nice

[unreal cargo]

Correction: we found out about this hobby 2 days before. He joined the day the thread started

[gaunt creek]

Spend 1k per month is the goal I guess

[gaunt creek]

I won't reproduce. Need all the money for drones

[gaunt creek]

No I didn't first quad I built was with the help of @split lichen and @hallow oriole mostly, and @soft pecan teaching me all the utilities like soldering, battery health, safety

[gaunt creek]

Oh wait a minute your 🫵 @hallow oriole this is all your fault

[soft pecan]

look what you've done jason

para has no money left

[gaunt creek]

Ironically the Mario 5" deadcat drone has by far been my most reliable drone so that's crazy

3d flying has been weird but I'm adapting to it

[hallow oriole]

Yeah well neither do i because you wanted me to buy walksnail so here we are

Maybe in a few weeks i can finally range test the 7" when im not concussed

Something tells me i wouldn't be a great pilot right now

[unreal cargo]

Should've bought 4 DJI O4 Air Unit Pros like we did

[unreal cargo]

Get well soon

[gaunt creek]

I want to try all the unique quads not fixed wings, prolly...

[unreal cargo]

You're too used to broken wings to try fixed wings

[hallow oriole]

Dji

[hallow oriole]

Tricopter

[gaunt creek]

Action cams

[gaunt creek]

I do wanna try that

And 8 props and 5 all the weird ones

[hallow oriole]

Me hero 11 produces better video than the o4 pro (bar low light maybe) and i only had to buy it once lol

The petacopters are so cursed

Penta* (?)

[unreal cargo]

Cope

[gaunt creek]

How much your hero 11 weigh?

[gaunt creek]

Yes! I love cursed

[hallow oriole]

I think like 210g or something im not sure. I've always flown massively chonky quads.

[gaunt creek]

Solopist be careful we are out numbered here

[gaunt creek]

My action cam weighs o grams 😎

[soft pecan]

I can't predict stupid garbage

[hallow oriole]

Lmao

[gaunt creek]

What happened to walksnail

[soft pecan]

how are you concussed

[gaunt creek]

And why is it called that?

[hallow oriole]

I got a concussion

[shadow bolt]

It stopped walking

Then did a 90° turn

[hallow oriole]

Goofy chinese translation i guess

[shadow bolt]

And went for dat sweet sweet military sugar daddies

[gaunt creek]

Prolly got hit by one of his heavy drones

[gaunt creek]

Ew no

[hallow oriole]

So i gotta decide if i keep what i have and continue to buy ws vtxs or if i swap before i put more money into it

And ive already put in a LOT

[gaunt creek]

Is walksnail actually falling apart?

[hallow oriole]

Skateboard

[shadow bolt]

It, uh, went an interesting direction

[hallow oriole]

It hasn't gotten worse, but it just stopped innovating entirely

[soft pecan]

were u being dumb without a helmet

[hallow oriole]

Yes 👍

I was literally shopping for a helmet that day

[soft pecan]

showing you why you need one i suppose

[gaunt creek]

DJI DJI!

[hallow oriole]

Yup

[shadow bolt]

No

Hdz

[hallow oriole]

I can deal with the scrapes and the broken toe but concussion is ass

[shadow bolt]

You dirty shill

[gaunt creek]

I would never 😑

[shadow bolt]

That's a you problem

[hallow oriole]

Everything about the way hdz works i love, except that what i really wanted from digital was the penetration

[shadow bolt]

Wouldn't a broken toe be slightly annoying for skateboard

[brave moth]

whatd you try

[hallow oriole]

Well, yes. But a broken toe doesn't stop me from using screens for a week

[gaunt creek]

DJI literally has the best pen

[hallow oriole]

*electric skateboard

[brave moth]

oh

boring

i go skate now

but real skate

[shadow bolt]

Time to put on more hair so you get a natural helmet

Works perfect

[hallow oriole]

At the time, ws had a higher power vtx and i don't like how locked down dji stuff is

[hallow oriole]

Erm

[gaunt creek]

This is true

[shadow bolt]

Never had a concussion

[gaunt creek]

It still is locked down

[hallow oriole]

Yeah it sucks

[soft pecan]

I've managed to have 2 ama

[shadow bolt]

Wat's an ama

[soft pecan]

ask me anything

[shadow bolt]

Uh

[hallow oriole]

Academy of model aeronautics

[gaunt creek]

Buttttt if you have the goggles and the o4 pros the flying experience 3.5" or bigger can't be beat

Everything smaller and I would not recommend DJI

[hallow oriole]

I see that now

[shadow bolt]

Fuck my package for an ammo box is arriving after I'll have already left

[hallow oriole]

But i have probably 800 dollars in ws gear already

Which is nuts

All new antennas, gx, and the high power vtx i forget the name of

[gaunt creek]

Then I'd recommend analog. I don't see a reason for walksnail. And the reason for hdzero is to save money and only need one goggles.

[hallow oriole]

All of my quads are analog but the one

And i love love love my 04x pros

I just want better penetration

[solemn cairn]

16W analog vtx

[hallow oriole]

Even with a 1w vtx I still get crazy breakup just one floor down in a parking garage

Well

Thats one way to do it

[gaunt creek]

Best digital: DJI
Best light weight: analog
Hdzero for convience and money save
Walksnail is for @soft pecan

[solemn cairn]

hdzero isnt exactly cheap

[gaunt creek]

Agreed

[gaunt creek]

But

[solemn cairn]

it also has the only digital aios

[hallow oriole]

I don't even mind spending the money, i just dont want to waste it. Unfortunately ws might be my worst financial decision ever lol

[gaunt creek]

Cheaper then getting two goggles

[hallow oriole]

Ive already got two of the most expensive goggles lol

[graceful bluff]

709 left

[gaunt creek]

True back to convience

[hallow oriole]

Low weight performance really

[solemn cairn]

I want to get a hdzero whoop and put hdzero on my 5", then maybe do something like the aio15 in a kayou mini

[gaunt creek]

For 5" digital I don't see how DJI couldn't be the best

Low weight DJI falls off fast

[hallow oriole]

Wtf that message sent like 2 minutes late

[gaunt creek]

I'm pretty open to anything that is not walksnail or IIRC

[hallow oriole]

I was referring to the hdz aio

[gaunt creek]

Your phone is concussed

[hallow oriole]

I guess so

I gotta figure out how to put this boot thing on now

I think im gonna make some maccingcheese and maybe work on my charger setup

[gaunt creek]

So if im correct the advantage of walksnail is almost as good penetration as DJI but without the DJI closed systems?

That's not nothing

Having to use the DJI Fly app make me want to have murderess intent

[gaunt creek]

Lol I approve this message

[solemn cairn]

i dont understand the "dji closed system" thing, walksnail isnt exactly open either

[hallow oriole]

Walksnail doesn't require an app or an account or anything and it gives you more options to stream video out iirc

[gaunt creek]

Idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I'm trying to learn what walksnail is good at

[gaunt creek]

See that's pretty good! Maybe it was worth it then!

[hallow oriole]

Ws also gives you more antenna freedom in some cases

But the stock ones are garbage

Perhaps

I really just need to tune and test this 7" lol

It feels so strange to fly and I don't know if its because its ws or if its because its a 7"

[solemn cairn]

probabaly a mix of both

[hallow oriole]

Yeah

[gaunt creek]

Ironically I think the best advantage to HDzero is the fact that it can run analog

[hallow oriole]

The advantage of hdz is the analog upscaler and the goggles being super high quality, plus the low latency and low weight digital

My gx can run analog

[gaunt creek]

DJI is the only video system good enough to not require a action cam to get excellent footage

[gaunt creek]

Agreed

[soft pecan]

there be no best

[hallow oriole]

The ws has the moonlight, but i always see awful jello in the video for some reason

[unreal cargo]

And eliminating the action camera allows you to use a bigger battery too

[soft pecan]

analog too

crazy stuffs

[gaunt creek]

There can be a best at video quality, and penetrating

[unreal cargo]

It's no contest

[gaunt creek]

?

[soft pecan]

this isn't always the case given the O4 weighs quite a large amount

[soft pecan]

you can get analog cameras with an onboard recording board just like with DJI

in HD and all

[gaunt creek]

Would love to see the quality comparison, unironically

[unreal cargo]

I misunderstood, sorry

[gaunt creek]

To be fair I once saw someone use the o4 pro as an action cam lol

[hallow oriole]

Action 2 weighs less than double an o4 pro

[gaunt creek]

I gotta see this also that includes mounting and the video quality are similar?

[soft pecan]

to answer there's cameras like the insta360 ones

but also things like naked full size action cameras that weigh the same as an o4 pro

[gaunt creek]

Lol it's dji

[hallow oriole]

Doesn't include mounting but iirc the quality is better out of the action 2

Possibly significantly better

And thats not a naked one

[unreal cargo]

Point taken. I will now move the goalpost to cost of action camera + air unit

[gaunt creek]

Same but you still need a vtx, camera and antennas for whatever other video system it using

[soft pecan]

you can move the action camera between quads easily, unless you're using a clover cage you can't do that with the O4

[hallow oriole]

When you use the action cam on many quads the cost savings are very visible. I use my GoPro for non fpv stuff too

[gaunt creek]

Bad idea

[soft pecan]

given the weight of a dji camera you can probably fit in a vtx and an analog camera in that alone at this point

[gaunt creek]

Only need to buy one action cam

[hot bear]

@solemn cairn I just plugged my vtx into my pc via the micro usb and its lighting up, so I still have faith

next step is to find out what the problem was when it was connected to the fc

[shadow bolt]

fc is depressed

doesn't want to work anymore

it's tired

[gaunt creek]

I suppose that is true but I'm not arguing DJI > everything just best digital for drones bigger than 3" in terms of video quality, Penitration, and not needing an action cam

[hot bear]

if the fc is the problem I will be hurt because I have to sepnd another 50 bucks but at least I can finally get rid of my speedybee f405v4

I'd measure the voltage on the 9v pad but I dont have access to a multimeter this week

[gaunt creek]

I suppose you could do this analog with onboard HD thing but then your flying analog on a bigger drone for little benefit.

[soft pecan]

money

money is the benefit

[gaunt creek]

Oops

Forgot about that 😁

Money who dat? I don't know her. Thank you for listening to my ted talk byeeeeeeee!

[gaunt creek]

Yeah but do you have auto record 😎

So is the moral of the story that all video systems have advantages and it depends on what you need and want? Each video system is the best at different things.

Except walksnail.

[unreal cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-gif-12654501364171447161

[hallow oriole]

I kinda hate the ws auto record actually lol

[hallow oriole]

Yeah. Walksnail still technically has its place, but you would have to have pretty niche requirements for it to be the right choice right now

[gaunt creek]

Which goggles u got?

[hallow oriole]

i went from a vr007 to a FS transformers SE to an 04x pro and now I also have a gX for ws but i usually use the 04x pro

my first goggles lmao

[gaunt creek]

Gx is walksnail only no?

[hallow oriole]

it can run analog as well but you need to attach a vrx to it

i havent bothered to do that

the 04x pro are way more comfortable

[gaunt creek]

Well that's good

[gaunt creek]

Can't hdzero goggles fly everything you want?

Or was the gX alot better price to performance?

[shadow bolt]

Yes but wouldn't get 1080p100

But, well, dat be expensive-er

[gaunt creek]

Oh interesting

[shadow bolt]

Yeah, the vrx doesn't support it

[gaunt creek]

So gX is the best goggles for walksnail

[shadow bolt]

Yuh huh

[gaunt creek]

Epic

[hallow oriole]

i would need a ws vrx for the penetration i want and the gX will do ws better than the vrx

[gaunt creek]

Wanna know all the thinks

[gaunt creek]

Well if your trying to avoid DJI then it sounds like Walksnail was definitely the right choice

[hallow oriole]

i suppose so'

i just need to test it more

ive been too busy

[gaunt creek]

Can't wait to see your next vid!

Also @soft pecan what are the biggest props that are sold for the purpose of FPV I saw 13" on pyrodrone and got curious

[soft pecan]

that is a way too broad question

you can get props of any size

[gaunt creek]

Yeah?

[gaunt creek]

where you get 20" for example

Is a manned aircraft technically FPV eh?
If so then I imagine some helicopter has the record for largest props.
😉

[shadow bolt]

T-motor has some

[gaunt creek]

WTF

[shadow bolt]

Fpv drones would have to be rc controlled

We most investigate and cause pain to that person!

Heck!

Your 🫵 pain fuels me you think I wouldn't notice 👀

Where did the booster channel go? I lost it

[soft pecan]

#🚀booster

[gaunt creek]

Thanks

[soft pecan]

[shadow bolt]

Lost two even

[gaunt creek]

What?

[soft pecan]

it's like no problem but without the no

[gaunt creek]

Look at all the time you saved not saying no

[gaunt creek]

@soft pecan are we not painful enough for you?! 🥹

[soft pecan]

i literally never reacted to it

why am I getting blamed

i would guess it coincides with recent member loss

[gaunt creek]

Ahh!

We lost another

i love old aircraft that make no sense at all

where did these companies come up with this stuff

they had no CAD to help them

[stark flower]

This my fav wonky craft idea.
I got a model of it, like a plastic model kit thing.

One of theese days i'll build it and try to cram a bone drone into it so it can fly lol.

You are in the right place

[shadow bolt]

How are you typing then

[mild delta]

I made a help thingy

the problem is on there I can ping u if u want

[shadow bolt]

We could also have continued here

[mild delta]

oh

Righy

do u want me to explain the issue

[graceful bluff]

507 remaining

[shadow bolt]

That'd be useful

[shadow bolt]

Can we see the wiring

And solder joints

And the receiver tab

[shadow bolt]

You wired Rx to rx

You goober

[wet fox]

bruhhhh

[agile forum]

We are SO CLOSE to 20K

[mild delta]

Rx is to tx

[shadow bolt]

Yes

19500

I remember when I built my Beemschurbger
I wired Rx to Tx by sheer instinct
I had no idea

Oh I never mentioned the name of my drone is Beemschurbger

[mild delta]

rx to tx

[shadow bolt]

Indeed

I'm colorblind

Can we have a screenshot of the receiver tab

[wet fox]

also mb i meant ports and reciever im sleepy

[agile forum]

Do you have the UARTs set up ?
What's the problem

[mild delta]

Everything is setup correctly as I can tell

[shadow bolt]

Can we still see

[shadow bolt]

See

There's a little issue here

You don't have 2 rx

[mild delta]

yes

wym

[shadow bolt]

Which uart is the receiver currently on ?

[mild delta]

R3

[shadow bolt]

Btw, do you have a fan pointed at your quad ?

[mild delta]

yes

[shadow bolt]

Untick that

What vtx do you have in there ?

And which uart is it on ?

[mild delta]

[shadow bolt]

What vtx is it

[mild delta]

YOO

YO

YO

YO

[wet fox]

lol what was that sound at the end

[shadow bolt]

Untick the red and select smart audio for the blue

[mild delta]

done

[solemn cairn]

msp on uart 4 is for the bluetooth

leave that on

[mild delta]

I was saying

[shadow bolt]

Why not just share the USB uart

[solemn cairn]

speedybee

[shadow bolt]

Fair

They got scared after the dumb uart wiring of the v3

[graceful bluff]

Are the meps neons worth it?

[mild delta]

Dude so worth it

[solemn cairn]

meps is a shitty company

[mild delta]

not these motors

they are insane

[solemn cairn]

the company not the product

[mild delta]

Idk anything ab the company

[solemn cairn]

I wouldn't support them

[mild delta]

Why

[solemn cairn]

because they are a shitty company

vitroid has a post about on his website

[unreal cargo]

Link?

[hallow oriole]

meps is seriously one of the worst

https://www.vitroidfpv.com/articles/misc-dont-support-mepsking

[soft pecan]

there's more than that now as well

including the war ads

[shadow bolt]

Why do they have to keep on getting worse and worse

[shadow bolt]

~however are you saying this with the experience of other good motors while being good enough to tell the difference between two (decent) motors or are you just impressed by how a 5" flies/the color~

[mild delta]

I’ve tried like 5 different 1900kv motors

I’d say these are my favorite

@soft pecan I did my first pirch and IRL trippy!

Air mode needs to be on a switch

Disarming for my tricks is rough

[stark flower]

Yeah if u wanna get into perching and slides airmode on switch is gonna make your life a ton easier.

[gaunt creek]

Boxer Max does not have enough 😢

[soft pecan]

i forgot you had a boxer max

sobbing

[hot bear]

Honestly I barely feel the difference between ag01 and normal gimbals

[gaunt creek]

Why?

[soft pecan]

hundred dollars more

no reason

[tropic wyvern]

Colored buttons :D

[stark flower]

It has 4.
What are you using them all for?
Aren't the face switches 3 pos also?

Or get creative and use a pot.

[agile forum]

HUH
How many functions do you use

[shadow bolt]

you don't buy ag01s cause they actually feel better

you buy them so people who look at your radio know you have too much money

[hot bear]

They look cool

[soft pecan]

as opposed to my old tx16s gimbals

the gx12 gimbals are significantly smoother

[stark flower]

Everyone knows the more $$ you spend on goggles the faster your lap times get.

[agile forum]

@gaunt creek YES

[shadow bolt]

just like how mpu6000 made me 2s faster becuz it's just dat good

[soft pecan]

I'm 30 seconds slower when using Betaflight instead of KISS

[gaunt creek]

Wonderful!

[agile forum]

Huh

[agile forum]

How the what

[stark flower]

Oh well then you would be EVEN faster if you used race flight/flightone.

But not emu/helio.
That'll make you too juicy to race good.

[agile forum]

I thought bf was the ultimate peak

[soft pecan]

/s

[shadow bolt]

no multiwii is where it's at

[agile forum]

Ooh
Thank god

[soft pecan]

anyhow i only fly emuflight so

sometimes silverware

[shadow bolt]

and you'd be yet faster if you went to use ghost instead of staying stuck with elrs

[tropic wyvern]

[agile forum]

(I don't have the experience to tell that by myself 😔)

[soft pecan]

jesc blheli firmware of course

[shadow bolt]

I only fly our lord and savior quicksilver

perfect for my x class quads

[shadow bolt]

it's fine dw

[stark flower]

Bruh I fuckin hate ghost/tracer people that come to freestyle days.
MF's all be blasting their module at max power (cuz I need it for range.)

Then it always fucks up all BT devices in the area.
Annoying.

[shadow bolt]

you just aren't educated enough to appreciate the true good systems

[stark flower]

We are mainly poking fun at older softwares that for the most part are gone.

[shadow bolt]

-to be noted that quicksilver is not gone nor outdated and is very much great, the joke was that it's pretty much tailor made for tinywhoops-

[soft pecan]

weird how those even exist

I almost bought a ghost module at some point purely to flash elrs

[stark flower]

I saw one plus like 10 RX's for sale the other day for like 100$

[wet fox]

damn!

[stark flower]

Did not know it could run other software.
That's nifty.

[soft pecan]

it's part of why it failed

it released just as ELRS was gaining traction for the first time and there weren't really any ELRS things you could properly buy yet

there was the R9, GHOST or DIY for quite a bit

[stark flower]

Oh I recall the r9 stuff having options.
Didn't know ELRS was one of them.

[soft pecan]

even ELRS couldn't fix the absolute atrocity R9 was sadly

[stark flower]

Funy enough i had a freind that was on R9.
Was happy with it.
never had issues.

Then they moved to crossfire, but had tons of issues for a long time lol.

they got the opposite of results what eveyone expected lol

[soft pecan]

I had R9, would failsafe like 30m out LOS

[stark flower]

I do recall there was like some bad FW versions or something.
Some sucked I think.

[gaunt creek]

https://radiomasterrc.com/products/tx16s-mark-ii-radio-controller @soft pecan I was thinking of getting this what you think?

[hallow oriole]

yeah i ran xf for a few years and never had any issues or failsafes

edventually emilia convinced me to switch when i needed a new aio and there were no xf aios...

[soft pecan]

just a massive mistake to buy this all around

[gaunt creek]

Explain

[hallow oriole]

theres no reason for it to be that stupid big first of all

the functionality is the same as a t15 but 1w elrs

[soft pecan]

it's massive, you don't need a screen, it's way worse in build quality, it only does 250mW, the gimbals are iffy, the antenna is flimsy

it isn't a good radio by todays standards

[hallow oriole]

a boxer would be just as good but different screen

[stark flower]

I'm all in on the beta 4in1 air board lol.
I have begun to hoard them all I can.

[gaunt creek]

Sweet what recommend if want more switches then boxer

[soft pecan]

llama refuses

[hallow oriole]

i think i need to start getting a bunch of the elrs air 5in1s lol, i really like them

[stark flower]

Occasionally I do need the NDAA compliance.
But also I'm just lazy.
Not trying to RX swap all my junk.

[soft pecan]

get the gx12

[hallow oriole]

honestly i just like the smaller antennas on everything too

[gaunt creek]

Does not look like it has more switches

[soft pecan]

look closer

[gaunt creek]

Interesting

[soft pecan]

yes

[gaunt creek]

If you had infinite moneys what radio would you want?

[gaunt creek]

Gx12 does look pretty good

[soft pecan]

i would build my own

[gaunt creek]

You can do that

[split lichen]

Oh no

[soft pecan]

i don't have the cad skills for that, yet

[gaunt creek]

Tell me all about this

[split lichen]

Oh nooo

[gaunt creek]

Bruh

[soft pecan]

what bruh

[split lichen]

Para no more money

[gaunt creek]

I ment if you had infinite money now not later

[gaunt creek]

I can't hear you

[soft pecan]

i would build up my cad skills and build my own radio

[split lichen]

Para don’t you dare

[hallow oriole]

i would buy a gx12

[gaunt creek]

Talking to my financial advisor Emilia

[hallow oriole]

what are the gimbal sizes on the gx12 again emilia? are they full size or no?

[split lichen]

I would buy a gx12

[soft pecan]

smaller footprint but the same throw as a full size gimbal

so very nice

[hallow oriole]

thats what i was thinking

[gaunt creek]

Are there variations of the gx12?

[soft pecan]

no

[stark flower]

Exactly!
With unlimited resource why the F not go all out on super custom whatever you want?

My sisters roommate a while ago asked me:
"So what would you do with unlimited budget?"

"Uhhh probably crash the world economy just for fun and to see if humanity can find away to move forward or possibly eliminate money all together."

That got a:

lol

remember the whole solving world hunger was surprisingly affordable thing

[gaunt creek]

https://radiomasterrc.com/products/gx12-diy-90-degree-rp-sma-cable what this?

[soft pecan]

a ufl to rp sma pigtail

[gaunt creek]

huh

[gaunt creek]

huh

[soft pecan]

huh

[gaunt creek]

yeah but what can i do with that?

[soft pecan]

By replacing the built-in folding antennas, users can connect any RP-SMA-compatible antenna

[gaunt creek]

so nothing

[soft pecan]

users can connect any RP-SMA-compatible antenna

[gaunt creek]

why would i want to do that

[soft pecan]

so you can put a different antenna on it

maybe one more optimized for one frequency

or a directional antenna

this radio is all about customizability

[gaunt creek]

this battery work in the boxer max? https://radiomasterrc.com/products/21700-5000mah-battery-for-tx16s-mkii?variant=46486370681024

[soft pecan]

still no spot welder dreams huh

[tropic wyvern]

:D

[sacred ember]

:D

make it an X8 now

[soft pecan]

I'm not sure if it does but you can grab the 6200mAh pack as well

[tropic wyvern]

X8 2"

[sacred ember]

im sure it would make an interesting sound

[tropic wyvern]

True

Lmao

[shadow bolt]

Why not the 4in1, more durable (doesn't take on any impact directly and doesn't need to use betafpv's iffy receivers), more versatile (the triangle shape lets you use canopies you couldn't with a square and frame designs that are slightly neater), more sexier, what's not to love

[gaunt creek]

i have a 6200 mah in my max i wanna put in the gx12 and to get this 5000 mah for the max

yeah or nah?

got a third friend solopist is trying to coax into the fpv space so they may take my max off me

[soft pecan]

probably?

[gaunt creek]

know who would know or where I can look to figure it out?

[soft pecan]

the product page i assume

[gaunt creek]

thats epic

[soft pecan]

yup just plop on more switches

[split lichen]

damn id love a roller i could use as a bind

[gaunt creek]

get one silly

money

[gaunt creek]

get one silly

[split lichen]

i hate you

buy me one

[gaunt creek]

this?

[gaunt creek]

i get that alot

[tropic wyvern]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DL-9TpHBK8A/?igsh=MWJid2dvNm44NmEzMQ==

[tropic wyvern]

Need.

[gaunt creek]

vs this

[hollow venture]

@gaunt creek gx12 can only fit 5000mah

Or 2 21700 with a custom printed mount

[gaunt creek]

rip so less power

[hollow venture]

You can get two vapcells in there

6250 mah

F63

Imma order some f60s

Already printed the cell holder

[hallow oriole]

i dont use canopies at all, ive never had a whoop board die from an impact, and i didn't know the rxs were iffy... the real thing tho is that i dont have to put an external rx in it and that just simplifies my build a lot since i dont use a canopy

https://rotorbuilds.com/build/33836

[hollow venture]

Woah

[gaunt creek]

plz explain

[shadow bolt]

The receivers die every now and then, most likely just because of the impact the 5in1 can take and the board being fairly thin, it was a pretty annoying issue with the f4 5a 1s already before

[gaunt creek]

u have a gx12?

[tropic wyvern]

"We have fractal at home" aahhh

[hollow venture]

Two 217000 battery from vapcell, they make 6000 and 6250mah ones

Yeah

[hallow oriole]

my whoop boards pretty much always die when the vtx edventually just burns out

[tropic wyvern]

/j

[gaunt creek]

and if you get that is that 12000 mah?

[gaunt creek]

are you even supposed to do that?

[soft pecan]

no it's 6250mAh in 2s

[gaunt creek]

that makes more sense

[soft pecan]

Para you promised you'd learn the energy basics

[gaunt creek]

no

[hallow oriole]

w=v*a

wh=v*ah

👍

[gaunt creek]

are u sure using vapcell in gx12 gonna work?

[hallow oriole]

what the hell is a vap cell

there are 21700s

and 18650s

that is what they are

[gaunt creek]

im lost

[soft pecan]

para

[stark flower]

I thought they were flashlight batteries.
😉

[shadow bolt]

Cells you put in vapes, the cool kid way of saying an 18650

[soft pecan]

21700 batteries are

21mm by 70mm

they are all the same size

[sacred ember]

not accounting for button top and flat top

[soft pecan]

it's a brand that is good at making high density li-ion batteries

[sacred ember]

I hate that they cant just all be flat top

[stark flower]

It says 18650 fits.

Not sure if there is space for a 21700

[soft pecan]

not in a holder, but it does fit if you weld a pack

[hallow oriole]

i have a bunch of cells i need to weld into a 6s2p 18650 pack

[stark flower]

I just recently downsized and got rid of all my button top cells.
Flat is It for me now.

[unreal cargo]

Is there proprietary firmware available for the RadioMaster Boxer Crush? I want to use it instead of my broken DJI radio, but I don't like that it uses open source firmware.

[soft pecan]

buy a flysky radio you silly goose

Which one do you recommend?

Also, what drone module should I yet for that?

[soft pecan]

nv18, you can also go for a tbs mambo

jeti, futuba

so many options

[unreal cargo]

Thanks. I'll look into them

[hollow venture]

No, but you can print ur own housing for it

Still fits in the bay

I also printed a chest thing

Wanna make it bigger but they will make it less portable

6200 doesn't fit the gx12

[soft pecan]

unless 21700

[hot bear]

Iirc you said they don't fit without modification

[soft pecan]

21700's fit just outside of a big bulky tray

i think

Ah, so welded like the 5000mah pack

[hollow venture]

Oh my god

It finally here

[hollow venture]

You can print a holder

don’t u already have a boxer?

is that a 3d printed protector on the front of the o4?? i’ve been looking for a good one of those? can u see it when using the camera?

An unskilled craftsman blames his tools

[queen monolith]

Though that's not a great saying because good tools make it so much easier to learn

Like yeah, a skilled craftsman doesn't need great tools because they're experts.
A novice on the other hand doesn't have the skill to compensate for the lack of tool quality

[unreal cargo]

Maybe if you didn't fly 5D FPV with Multiverse time travel, the tools would be adequate

[soft pecan]

is just baby wdym

it hasn't been 30 years in FPV time

I swear

[unreal cargo]

Sure. I'll spend $263.73USD of my own hard earned money to bail you out after you broke the radio you bought. I would also like to point out that you chose that radio when you were in the hobby for a while and should have known better

[gaunt creek]

Thanks 🧡

[unreal cargo]

@gaunt creek and I have been flying quad copters for years. We're just new to FPV

[soft pecan]

yes that is basically two separate hobbies

[gaunt creek]

Not sure if that's breaking a rule

[unreal cargo]

Technically my Parrot AR drone was FPV because it had video feed to my phone

[soft pecan]

it was also a parrot

[unreal cargo]

Parrots are and were legit drones. You're just a walk snail supremacist

[soft pecan]

so true

[stark flower]

I'll trade u an X9D for the boxer.

[gaunt creek]

No 😶

[stark flower]

Well now your just being selfish.

@benry after using my charger as a multimeter, turns out my vtx isnt working because the 9v pad is dead

[solemn cairn]

lol

[hot bear]

luckily its a hv vtx, so I'll just connect it to my vbat pad

how does that even happen because of turtling

actually you might be right

9v bec is damaged (don't mind the weird look, there's 422c and dirt on it)

[hot bear]

yah both are from the bec

do you mean the chip on the inductor or what looks like a hole burnt in the board?

[hot bear]

both lol

[graceful bluff]

[solemn cairn]
