Para's House. (Goodbye)

[gaunt creek]

I haven't sent it to them yet it is almost in USA

[steady willow]

Seemed to go as planned. How... Functional.

I get picture from VTx in goggles, so the basics work at least.

Need to do FC config changes next.

[solemn cairn]

as long as you have vtx in your betaflight build it should have populated the vtx table

[tropic wyvern]

eepy car

:3

[steady willow]

If it has (can't check yet) that would imply that Rx and tx are the right way round. Cool. Have this smoke then see where we're at.

[graceful bluff]

Nice car

[tropic wyvern]

indeed :>

[wispy nest]

"car" is to zoomers what "doggo" is to millenials

[hot bear]

Mrow

I miss my cat

[tropic wyvern]

:3

[hot bear]

3 more days until I see her again

[tropic wyvern]

yay

[hot bear]

Maybe the Mario 8 already arrived by then

[tropic wyvern]

i finished my 3.5'' today

finally flies

[hot bear]

Time to buy a y6

[tropic wyvern]

or a 7''

[hot bear]

Or an 8"

[tropic wyvern]

go big or go home

50''

but its so fun

even LOS

[hollow venture]

reviewing the drone scene from war of the worlds

idiot dji pilot hasnt set up turtle mode

this movie is so epic

[agile forum]

Arch + quickshell is epic

[unreal cargo]

Not all DJI drones have turtle mode

[hollow venture]

It was a 5 inch in the stupid movie

[solemn cairn]

showed up to a park with my friend to fly today and somehow there were 2 people flying whoops already lol

got to try 04 lite and n3s

[tropic wyvern]

lol

[solemn cairn]

the n3s felt kinda crappy and didn't agree with my eyes

but the picture is so good

most noticeable thing was just being able to fly behind stuff with no breakup

but the n3s were really not comfortable lol

was too afraid of breaking his shit and the setup was too unfamiliar for me to try any freestyle

he has the stick tension up crazy high which made it super hard to fly

he felt my radio and went like im changing mine to that as soon as i get home lol

he never knew any different

[graceful bluff]

Lmao 😂

[tepid thicket]

my god I wish ppl flew whoops at our local park

usually it's only kids yelling or older teens being weird

or other dudes just training (there are some calisthenics tools that are super fun to fly through)

remember doing it with my cinelog25 before it died

[crimson turtle]

I have burnt 15 motors the 2 months I have been flying racing

[solemn cairn]

skill issue

[sacred ember]

bleh

[crimson turtle]

I will touch you

very proparly

[sacred ember]

hey dont say that

[hot bear]

I will touch you respectfully

[hot bear]

Damn cool

[unreal cargo]

What radio do you have?

@gaunt creek

[shadow bolt]

Why can't we have more 3d props

I want 3d props for micros

Not just 5 and 3.5"

[tropic wyvern]

agreed

[hot bear]

Let's see what happens earlier, me flying 3d or me flying my 8" for the first time

[solemn cairn]

I have a boxer crush. he had a regular boxer just with the tension on the gimbals wound way up

[shadow bolt]

They should really ship radios with the tension way down from the factory

Seems like everyone just lowers the tension as soon as they hear about it and it's just so much better for responsiveness

[steady willow]

And accuracy, and looking long term, repetitive strain injury.

[hollow venture]

Right around 6-9 is chasing age

Boxer out of the box is so tight

Gx12 is nice

[stark flower]

I think radios come with stiff sticks cuz people are used to video game controllers with stiff sticks.

They think it's what the average consumer wants.

[hollow venture]

Imma experiment with less tension

[hot bear]

Same

[tepid thicket]

I hate light sticks

Bc my fingers are not that steady and with light sticks it all comes through

[split lichen]

Almost 25k

[sand sparrow]

Waittt lowk I should try heavier tension cuz im also shaky too lol

[steady willow]

My sticks are light as they'll go. Any lighter and the mechanism rattles. They only just centre themselves.

[tepid thicket]

Mine are stock (GX12)

Again light sticks just make me shake a lot

[steady willow]

Light springs set as light as I can get away with and still have them recentre with TBS Honey stick ends.

If I have much spring weight on the sticks I'm fighting the springs, and that makes me inaccurate.

[soft pecan]

i need something to have some resistance to it as well, i feel like i lose the sticks otherwise

[steady willow]

LiPos charged and packed, Radio charged, quad configured and checked, spares and tools packed.. all good for today's flying 😁

[grave cloud]

I need to loosen mine for sure, I need to apply too much force to get them out of center and it causes jerky movement

[soft pecan]

first hdzero flight incoming, trying 540p90 or 720p60 first?

[grave cloud]

Have fun!! Looking forward to your HDZ impressions

[steady willow]

That makes sense. I can feel the springs if I consciously pay attention, but not enough to nudge my intended input.

[steady willow]

Not sure. Probably 540p90 😁

[steady willow]

I mean, so far, very good.

Hardware build quality and feel in the hands is miles in front of Goggles X. Comfort on the face? Not even playing the same game, let alone in a higher league.

[grave cloud]

Hell yea, I've said it a few times already but the goggles 2 look sooo gooood

[steady willow]

HDZ coming with a narrow and a wide faceplate is how it should be industry wide.

CaddX's "You will wear the Asian flat face variant and you will like it" can suck my chuddies.

I spent so many hours trying to make the GogglesX comfortable and be able to see the displays, to no avail.

Fuck man, I even had aftermarket dioptre inserts (Rho-lens) made for them.

The HDZero G2 optics are that much better -and better placed- I don't need inserts to be able to see the displays.

Waiting for my antennas to get here from Canada, so I have bodged an bunch of LHCP stuff together for today. With that in mind, I need to temper my expectations for signal performance today.

All my LHCP stuff is RP-SMA, while the HDZ stuff is SMA, so adapters have been used, which will impact signal.

Oh, here's a question I can't immediately Sus an answer to...

Can I set up the dials on my radio to set the VTx Channel and Power output somehow?

[hot bear]

Fuck rp sma

All my homies use sma

[soft pecan]

Should be doable pretty easily with some command line commands in Betaflight, probably the same as with analog.

[hot bear]

You can use the elrs backpack menu in the elrs Lua script

Just go in sys>elrs>that vtx menu thingy

If you already bound the backpack from your goggles

Then you can change both at the same time

[steady willow]

https://betaflight.com/docs/wiki/guides/current/vtx-cli-settings#change-vtx-power-level-using-aux-channel

[steady willow]

Found it. Much 💛

[steady willow]

BF can do it natively 😁

Well... That'll do the power from an aux channel..

Assuming aux 6 for channel, and 7 for power in this example...

[hot bear]

Well, you need an Aux channel for that

With the backpack you dont

And does it also change the settings in the goggles?

[steady willow]

Wait, it could change the channel on the goggles too with the ELRS backpack functionality?

[hot bear]

YEEES

I use it on analog

Because of my DIY backpack I can't change the channel in my goggles without my radio anymore, but well

[steady willow]

Oh, that's cool AF.

Does the radio need anything special to do this?

[hot bear]

At least I can change the goggles and vtx with one operation

[hot bear]

No

[steady willow]

The HDZ G2 have ELRS backpack built in I think?

[hot bear]

I think yes

[steady willow]

Ok. How do I do this then?

[hot bear]

I checked it, yes it's built in

That's how I made mine for the 04x pro

[hot bear]

I assume you can enable it's wifi somewhere in the settings

Then you can probably just give it a binding phrase like a receiver

Idk how it works for hdz goggles exactly

[agile trail]

Do you guys know if the topic of drone simulation in matlab or simulink has been discussed here before?

[steady willow]

I don't have time to play with it now, it'll have to wait till I get back from flying. 💛

[agile trail]

Or a simulation of a quadcopter control system

[steady willow]

I assume you don't mean a real-time "playable" simulation.

[agile trail]

Yeah

I mean a thing that can be parsed through the equations of copter dynamics

[steady willow]

That's above my pay-grade 🫠

[agile trail]

i can pay

[ruby ice]

lmfao

[agile trail]

It's all a joke until you actually need one of these

Like, I'm dying to know

40%, literally

[ruby ice]

you know theres a search box on discord right

[agile trail]

Yeah, everyone asks if anyone has done this, no one answers. And if you send a friend request to such people, they ignore it

[ruby ice]

well thats probably cause people dont know or it hasnt been discussed

[hot bear]

How do you even end up in this channel lol

[ruby ice]

actually yeah lmao

[agile trail]

Well, if you hear anything, plz let me know

[solemn cairn]

Pretty sure there is just a menu called backpack in the goggles, you turn on backpack and hit bind in both the radio and goggles and you are done

[steady willow]

Sweet.

[white cedar]

cookie

[ruby ice]

huh?

[gaunt creek]

Who are you and what were you saying in DMS 😭

[gaunt creek]

3d very sexy

[gaunt creek]

Thats so exciting! What radio You gonna use?

[tropic wyvern]

Lol

[gaunt creek]

What kind of witchcraft allows theses costs?

[tropic wyvern]

Really low quality

[gaunt creek]

And the picture for the first one lies that price is for the bnf analog elrs

[tropic wyvern]

High fail rate

[gaunt creek]

Actually

Actually

[stark flower]

They certainly cut corners on electric components.
Frame may be wider weave carbon also which is less durable.

[tepid thicket]

It’s probably dogshit

[gaunt creek]

Makes sense

[clear jewel]

Frame probably not great

[split lichen]

Dogshit-ness

[shadow bolt]

So how was HDZ ?

[shadow bolt]

(Once upon a time you could get a babyape for like 60 bucks)
It's merely that they are the only ones not taking a gigantic profit and stealing money from honest hard working Americans, bringing back good value in this profit driven hobby
(Great sarcasm disclaimer)

[steady willow]

Yes.

Default cam mode is 540p90.
Didn't change it. Feels like playing the sim, except the real quad is lighter than the sim.

I now know that what I thought was mass affecting how long it took to move on a throttle punch, was actually latency.

Signal was pants to my quad -as expected- with the cobbled together antenna solution I had today.

Signal to Paul's gear was spot on though, love that I can just tune into his broadcast and spectate.

[soft pecan]

well that's a scary last sentence

[steady willow]

Even with that pants signal, I was throwing the quad round at 50+° and hitting gaps, matty flipping it round shit like it was the sim.

I'll pull the DVR and dump it somewhere when I'm done with this smoke.

Oh yeah, at some point during one of the packs; I ripped the bodged antenna, plus the sma connector straight off the pigtail without noticing.

What was left was a near perfect linear monopole whip, which was spitting out enough juice for me to not even notice the antenna had gone

[shadow bolt]

Well that's nice to hear, I assume you don't regret the kilobuck entry into HDZ

[steady willow]

Nope. Not one bit.

I was worried, obviously, but now having flown it. No. This was the right call.

[soft pecan]

woo bad influence to get it before the weekend

[shadow bolt]

Happy to hear it !

[steady willow]

Right, Let me get the DVR of the "First Full Lipo" (after everything was tested and checked) dumped into Resolve..

[steady willow]

Oh FFS. Resolve won't read a .TS file? Qué?

VLC plays the files just fine.

I don't have time for this, have to do other stuff.

[wispy nest]

a .ts file should be for typescript, not video lmao

[wispy nest]

throw ffmpeg at it until it works

[soft pecan]

.ts is mpeg-2 transport stream, pretty common in cameras

[steady willow]

This will have to wait until tomorrow then. I don't have time to do all this and upload it somewhere. 🙁

Maybe. No editing, straight render.

[soft pecan]

what version of davinci are you on?

[sacred ember]

do newer versions of resolve work with .ts?

[soft pecan]

supposedly 19.0.2 supports it but i am not sure

[steady willow]

https://youtu.be/A6LBghEe6WQ

When it actually finishes uploading and processing

Back in a bit.

[soft pecan]

I mean that looks like it is doing pretty dang well despite the antennas

[hollow venture]

It’s giving digital analog

Which makes very much sense

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek can I see how big the Oasisfly is. Like next to your hand or a banana

[tropic wyvern]

banana better

[gaunt creek]

feck u

[clear jewel]

Hey

Rude

[tropic wyvern]

angry_cat

[clear jewel]

It is kinda hard because every hand is a different size

But most banana

Or if you put it on the KITTY

Cause I like your kitty

@gaunt creek what is the gpu on the background

[gaunt creek]

I forgor

[clear jewel]

But could I get a picture of the Oasisfly next to a banana or on your cat

If you don’t have a banana that’s fine

Somewhere I have dvr of my cat meeting a whoop for the first time

Peak comedy

[clear jewel]

Now can I get a picture of just the cat

[tepid thicket]

uuh the oasifly

ngl I want one of these

[tepid thicket]

cutie

[hollow venture]

3 inch doesn’t look so silly

[clear jewel]

Kitty

[clear jewel]

Can you pet it for me

And give me the Oasisfly

[hallow oriole]

Mfw when i decide to hit the failsafe switch on my 5" after losing video

Then 3 seconds later i remember i hadn't flipped my vtx power switch back up from 25mw to 1w

[steady willow]

VTX Band:Channel:Power as an OSD element.

[hallow oriole]

band and channel as an osd element is kinda funny lmao

power is not a bad idea

i should really add that

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek I need some emotional help cause I don’t think I can do my idea. I want to turn my o4 whoop into kayoumini and then build a 7 inch and a 5 inch and a Oasisfly 25

[gaunt creek]

money?

mo money mo problems. congratulations you have less problems 🎉

[clear jewel]

No cause I won’t be allowed to do it

[clear jewel]

No

[gaunt creek]

🥶

Well you should be allowed to make one of these

[clear jewel]

The hell happened to that

[gaunt creek]

Stuff 🫠

[clear jewel]

KITTY

[gaunt creek]

Thats the 6th drone I choose not to talk about

[clear jewel]

Like that one child in the family

Wait how many drones do you have

[gaunt creek]

6

But officially 5

65mm analog
75mm HDzero
2.5" 04pro
5" 04pro
5" 04pro on cocaine
And that broken mess

[ruby ice]

which ones the cocaine one?

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek what’s the 5 inch one cocaine

[clear jewel]

KITTY

[gaunt creek]

5" with 3D props and 3D betaflight settings

[clear jewel]

What is 3d betaflight settings

And 3d props as in 3d printed

[ruby ice]

no, 3d flight

[gaunt creek]

3d fly mean I can fly upsidedown forever

[ruby ice]

you reverse the prop direction so that you fly "down", which really ends up being backwards

and the props are just built so that they're equally good forwards and backwards

[gaunt creek]

And equally bad aswell

Plus they explode if looked at funny

And ESC settings kinda sketch

And your battery life is cut in half

And it's much louder

[clear jewel]

What do 3d props look like

[gaunt creek]

And is prone to dysyncs

And encourages you to fly at 0° camera angle

[ruby ice]

so just dont fly 3d honestly

[gaunt creek]

And doesn't have as much support or options

And gives you only half of your throttle resolution

And makes you unlearn all your skills on normal acro

And when you crash is causes extreme acceleration sometimes cuz fc gets confused

And is really really fun!

[gaunt creek]

Less aerodynamic but more or less normal props

[gaunt creek]

Also they usually look broken in my case

[stark flower]

like if you ran them in reverse they would be just as good as forward.

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek 3 feking o4 pros

Really

Can I has one

[gaunt creek]

No

[clear jewel]

But you have at least 4 of them

[gaunt creek]

You can't prove that

[clear jewel]

Jealous

[ruby ice]

just 1 and 3 empty boxes

[clear jewel]

No he has more then 1

Cause Oasisfly

@gaunt creek can I see you non cocaine 5 inch

[clear jewel]

I air so how many o4 pros do you have

[gaunt creek]

Its been through some things but pretty good for first drone

[gaunt creek]

3

1 box is from friends drone

[clear jewel]

I have 2 o4 lite and 1 o4 pro

[gaunt creek]

I only have one o4 lite see your winning 😉

[clear jewel]

No

You have 3 o4 pro and 1 lite I only have 1 pro and 2 lite

[soft pecan]

para bought it all like a week before the prices went insane

[gaunt creek]

Lol I know Im so happy about that

[clear jewel]

I was able to get my 04 pro when the prices were high but I only paid 250

[gaunt creek]

Impulsive buying for the win

[gaunt creek]

And now I run analog!

[soft pecan]

all silly like that

[clear jewel]

I’ll take a drone off your plate para

Seems like a lot of work

[gaunt creek]

If you come pick it up in person you can have what is left of this one

[clear jewel]

What is left of it

[clear jewel]

Dang I’ll take the Oasisfly

Seems like a lot of work

I’ll take good care of it

[gaunt creek]

You must be confused

I don't take care of my drones 🤫

[clear jewel]

Sooooooooooooo

Please

Let me take care of it

[gaunt creek]

I'm a sadist. I'll break them again and again. And when they think they can finally take their final rest I will bring them back from the dead and slap parts on them that give them just enough to fly so I can crash them all over again. Ive killed Flight controllers, VTX, camera, arms, and 40+ props and I didn't even know what FPV was 6 months ago

[soft pecan]

these sub250 ones make so little sense to me

[gaunt creek]

I'll take care of it 😶

[soft pecan]

they could've made like a stronger frame and let go of the metric ton of 3d printed filament on it

[gaunt creek]

?

[soft pecan]

and then also the weird use of metal

they're such weird quads

[gaunt creek]

I removed all the fillament long ago and the metal is prolly the worst part. A waste of weight. Even still it flys amazing so can't complain

[soft pecan]

but it could've been amazingerrr

and strongerr

[gaunt creek]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gaunt creek]

Jeez I'll make another one if you insist

[soft pecan]

lol

have you been conformal coating everything?

[gaunt creek]

Horrifically yes not fully caught up tho

[clear jewel]

Hopefully I can finally get my 2 analog whoops fixed once I build the kayoumini so I can use the motors from the o4 65 then I need to buy new motors and get 2 new board

[ruby ice]

once ive finished my volador build i really wanna either build or buy one of those flywoo 1.6" open prop things

the firefly or whatever they call it xd

the deadcat geometry looks real nice on it

[clear jewel]

O4 or no

[ruby ice]

nah walksnail 1s cause im broke af

and realistically im not looking for an outstanding performance on something that tiny

at least in terms of camera

[hollow venture]

I got o4 lite in a flywoo explorer and it’s 149 dry

[soft pecan]

walksnail 1s is pretty much better than dji 1s

[ruby ice]

yeah but thats a 4", you should be able to fit the pro on there pretty nicely

[hollow venture]

But a whole 26 grams more

[ruby ice]

well yeah i have heard that, but the cam quality isnt as good is it?

[hollow venture]

And $130

Range is stupid good for the weigh lol

[soft pecan]

it's better for freestyle and it has a usable fov

[hollow venture]

Got it out 1.5mi before I pussied out

[soft pecan]

it is worse for recording cinematic stuffs

at least i think so

[hollow venture]

I lost my freaking flywoo lens

Can’t find it

$30 for it and stupid filters

[ruby ice]

that is true

[ruby ice]

thats more what i was talking about lmao

and its quite a bit cheaper

[soft pecan]

it's a lot more durable

[hollow venture]

Waiting for rich mc rich face to strap two to a hammer and test imperially

After glueing connectors

But broooo trust it’s like totally perfect for a lr build

[ruby ice]

other than resolution its pretty much completely better

[clear jewel]

You are talking about the o4 lite right

[hollow venture]

Yes

[ruby ice]

o4 lite against ws 1s

and we're saying 1s is better

for whoops

[hollow venture]

I think ur missing 2 letters here

A tiny downside is weig jt

It’s 2 grams more

[ruby ice]

and how much heavier is o4 lite compared to, say, a hdz setup

[hollow venture]

A full 6 grams

[ruby ice]

exactly lmao, if youre prioritizing weight, dont go for dji or ws

[hollow venture]

That’s facts pickle

[clear jewel]

Go look in general what someone said

[ruby ice]

anywho other than the orange canopy this thing actually looks real good though

@gaunt creek can that be your next quad

[hollow venture]

He’s already got one

Except it happens to have prop guards

I mean it can’t fly that differently

[soft pecan]

it would fly quite differently

[hollow venture]

Darn

Well you gotta do what you gotta do

[ruby ice]

thats why get that

[hollow venture]

Aio5

Great use of the new goggles that are on the way

[ruby ice]

and yeah when it weighs less than like 60g or whatever, 5-10g of prop guards will make a huge difference

[ruby ice]

shh

actually wait you can get a hdz version of that i think

[hollow venture]

I was referring to the hdz one

200mw

Spi

[steady willow]

Until, as I did yesterday, you realise it can all be controlled by other shit, so you honestly might not know what channel it's on without it. 😂

[sand sparrow]

Wait do u conformal coat ur o4 pros too?

I saw ppl showing how to do it online but idk if its safe

[steady willow]

I used to do my Walksnail VTxs and Cams.

[hallow oriole]

By the buttons?

[steady willow]

By ELRS backpack from a radio switch

Can change the goggles and VTx at the same time

[hallow oriole]

Oh lol I don't have a backpack so im gonna know what my goggles are on and if i can see the video then the vtx is also on that channel

[steady willow]

I don't have the time to play with it today, but I plan on putting the channel on one dial and power output on the other.

[hallow oriole]

Oh thats neat

I have volume and brightness on my dials

Power on a 3 pos

I have an unused button set tho

[steady willow]

My screen auto off is like 5 seconds. Saves shit loads of radio battery

[hallow oriole]

My screen is pretty tho

It auto turns down the brightness when i arm

[steady willow]

So is mine, but I can't see it with goggles on my face 😁

[hallow oriole]

Yeah lol

I wonder if i could just have it turn off when i arm

Idrc

[hot bear]

pretty sure you can

[steady willow]

Atm I just have a switch for the 9v rail on the FC, which is useful, but I want a bit finer control than that, without having to fuck around with stick menus and shit.

[hallow oriole]

Did you use an extra board to do that?

I didn't think they had the hardware to be switchable

[steady willow]

Nah, it's built into the FC

[hallow oriole]

Wtf

Thats cool

What fc

[steady willow]

Innit

It's an old JB F7v2

[hallow oriole]

Neat

[steady willow]

Yeah, it was proper useful with Walksnail.

[hallow oriole]

I found a buyer for my gr

Gt

Just gotta get rid of the goggles

[steady willow]

Could just switch off the VTx while doing other stuff. HDZ has a proper pit mode, but just switching it off hard has it's uses.

[hallow oriole]

Yeah

[steady willow]

eBay man. Worked for me

[hallow oriole]

I might have to put it up there then. I had the bundle on fbm and rcg

This guy only wanted the vtx so i said fuck it sure

135

Usd

[steady willow]

Personal, non vehicular listings don't cost you anything, so you're only down time for putting it up on eBay.

[graceful bluff]

Do you have a kayoumini frame?

[graceful bluff]

Why so cute

Not fair

[tepid thicket]

why can't I be as cute lol

[shadow bolt]

The masculine urge of being a cutie pie

I wish there was just an easy switch that didn't take years or cost zillions to increase cuteness

Yes

It will be sometime within the next week I believe

I hope they restock dfr in the same batch

Fingers crossed

[clear jewel]

It is 25 of every kayou frame

I think

[solemn cairn]

mine got to the uk in 5 days, guess i got lucky

with the cheapest shipping option

[solemn cairn]

i imagine they dont work on the weekend so it should get back on track

[clear jewel]

Me

[tepid thicket]

did you get the package at least?

[solemn cairn]

yeah i got it ages ago

the thing i said in vc is different

[tepid thicket]

Yea the one in vc I meant

[solemn cairn]

i have the vc one now

[tepid thicket]

Oh good

I hate deliveries

I forgot to tell you

My dad gifted me a soldering station but amazon sent us a used one

See one tip has solder on, another is wrong and the heating element is already brown

[tropic wyvern]

amazon shenanigans

[soft pecan]

probably returned pretty often

because of what it is

[tepid thicket]

you mean it's garbage?

I think it's just that they try to resell the used stuff as soon as possible

[soft pecan]

It's not garbage but it isn't the best piece of kit

it would probably do you fine

[tepid thicket]

how much do I have to pay for a good soldering station...

400 euros?/

[brave moth]

just get a pinecil

[tepid thicket]

why

if I got this one

[brave moth]

why do you need a station

[tepid thicket]

because I do other stuff too

[brave moth]

like?

[tepid thicket]

heatshrinks and so on

it's good to have an air station too

[brave moth]

id just get a pinecil and a seperate hot air thingy if i were you

[soft pecan]

the yihua hot air stuff should be fine, you can find tear downs on eevblog and such

[tepid thicket]

still more stuff than just a soldering station

[soft pecan]

whatever that yellow brand is is probably okay

[tepid thicket]

which is what I have

[soft pecan]

yes

[tepid thicket]

it's the 995D+ evo of them

[soft pecan]

some of it is fine

some of them aren't

some of them are very generic

[tepid thicket]

like my other one that seems to be garbage, pretty convinced it's just the horrible tips

they seem to have a lot of play

but also once I pressed down a bit too hard and the soldering pencil just snapped in half lmfao

bruh the pinecil costs as much as this station basically...

20 bucks less

[brave moth]

so you paid 60€ for that

[tepid thicket]

no the pinecil costs 20 bucks less

here it's 90 euros

I paid 110 for the station

[brave moth]

https://pine64eu.com/product/pinecil-smart-mini-portable-soldering-iron/

[tepid thicket]

we have another one of them at home, it works really good

[brave moth]

its 66 here i bought mine for like 40

[tepid thicket]

on amazon it's 90 euros

[brave moth]

https://eleshop.de/pinecil-smart-mini-tragbarer-lotkolben.html 52

yeah why are you looking on amazon

[tepid thicket]

because I had it opened

if I'll need a portable iron in the future I'll get one of those

[soft pecan]

It's 27 euros plus probably like 14 usd shipping from Pine64 directly

[tepid thicket]

how is it 27 euros on their website and 90 on amazon cmon

[soft pecan]

because amazon

[tepid thicket]

my dad only buys from there

lol

he refuses to buy anywhere else at the cost of spending more money

[brave moth]

ive seen an o3 air unit on amazon for like 900€

only the air unit

no camera or antenna

just the vtx

[tepid thicket]

I've seen a 15 euros mouse going for 8000 once

no wait

it was 82.000 and something

or a nvidia quadro for 42.000 euros

[tepid thicket]

someone clicked too many 0s

or better, one more

[shadow bolt]

And yet you know at least one person bought it

[tepid thicket]

not my dad lol

but tbh if you pick anything and scroll the different sellers, you'll see wild prices with any product

[shadow bolt]

And there will always be people who would buy the overly expensive thing, cause more money = more better, right ?

[tepid thicket]

Not sure if someone would spend this much without thinking

[shadow bolt]

I do know for a fact those people exist

[tepid thicket]

[ruby ice]

real, ive got a thing coming from across the country and its been "in transit" for like 2 days now

[tepid thicket]

summer...

I hate it

[ruby ice]

its winter for us right now, australia is south hemisphere

[tepid thicket]

my guess is that many workers are on holiday

oh well

right you're australian

but like deliveries here are slow too

[grave cloud]

my package made it from china to europe in 3 days, expecting it to take another 3 days for the final 100km lmao

[ruby ice]

my mum bought a thing one time, they shipped it back and forward across the country like 4 times before bringing it to us. funny thing is, we're almost directly under the flight path, so it went over us multiple times

[ruby ice]

i can usually get stuff from china or nz in 4-8 days

[tepid thicket]

I know right?

my god

usually it's like this when I order props on aliexpress

[solemn cairn]

First pack I had shit video, after that it was completely fine. I think the vtx must have been stuck on 25mw for some reason

[shadow bolt]

Did you check if you didn't have 25mw set on your elrs backpack ?

[solemn cairn]

i had it set to 1w

it even said 1w in the vtx menu

but i had no range

[tropic wyvern]

my whoop doenst arm

sadge

a;ll mixed and modes set up correctlly

[solemn cairn]

i thought my antenna might have fallen off but it was fine and i had perfect video after the first pack

[solemn cairn]

does it not arm or does it arm and the motors just dont spin?

[tropic wyvern]

yes that

well

uuhh

sheit

idk

there arent any beeps

and im getting inputs

[solemn cairn]

does it say armed on the osd or do you get an arm prevention flag?

and do the motors spin when you test in the motors tab?

[tropic wyvern]

i do see cpu overload

[solemn cairn]

lol

[tropic wyvern]

so the throttle thingy on my osd just does not work

[solemn cairn]

what pid loop rate and dshot are you running?

[tropic wyvern]

i do not know

[solemn cairn]

then check?

[tropic wyvern]

i do not know where to find the pid thingy

dshot300

[solemn cairn]

pid loop frequency

in configuration

[tropic wyvern]

8 khz

[steady willow]

Too high

[steady willow]

Turn that down to 4kHz.

[tropic wyvern]

i did

it arm now

however

[steady willow]

GG

Does it fly right?

[tropic wyvern]

only amrs

and freaks out on takeoff

[steady willow]

My first quad, a whoop used to be laggy AF in the configurator, but flew fine.

[steady willow]

Why was it set to 8kHz PID rate?

[tropic wyvern]

i do not know

also had bidishot siabled for some reason

[steady willow]

(is it the only setting awry, is what I'm getting at here.)

I think resetting to defaults might be in order here.

Custom build?

[tropic wyvern]

ye

second hand

[tropic wyvern]

this right

[steady willow]

You did make a backup once you had it configured and working... Right?

[tropic wyvern]

uuhh

yeah

[steady willow]

Welp, you will next time.

If it were me, I'd reflash BF entirely and configure from scratch.

[tropic wyvern]

ill reset it

[steady willow]

And as soon as it was done and flying, backup the config.

[tropic wyvern]

flashing now

[tropic wyvern]

it did now work, but this might be an issue

[solemn cairn]

you are connected to betaflight and dont have a battery plugged in

[tropic wyvern]

this quad might be cursed idfk

IM SO STUPID OMG

i rotated the gyro

WHEN I DID NOT NEED TO

it did not help

it only helped it not freak out

but the controles are backwars lmfao

[gaunt creek]

What is an erls backpack again?

[solemn cairn]

the channel your goggles are on changes with the drone when you use elrs vtx admin

very useful if you change channels alot

[gaunt creek]

So it changes the channel on its own when turn on drone?

[solemn cairn]

yeah you set the band and channel in your radio and the goggles and the drone both automatically go to that channel

[gaunt creek]

And to setup erls backpack for you need extra gear or just use your base goggles

[solemn cairn]

the hdz g2 have it built in

[gaunt creek]

So if setup when I go from analog to hdzero it won't require me swap the channels manually. Just turn everything on?

[solemn cairn]

yeah

also change it from auto scan to last for when you switch on the goggles

saves a bunch of time

[gaunt creek]

And for DJI thats not relevant cuz they all are on the same channel

[solemn cairn]

dji has channels you just cant manipulate them though betaflight

[gaunt creek]

Yeah but since they are bound to the goggles directly on inital setup it doesn't matter

[solemn cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqAyETbnojo also new video from today

[gaunt creek]

So I should set this up

[solemn cairn]

its convenient yeah

[gaunt creek]

Awesome can't wait to see it

[gaunt creek]

I actually already did that

[solemn cairn]

definitely way more confident on hdzero than on analog

[gaunt creek]

Awesome

Nice

[grave cloud]

Nice

[solemn cairn]

also no clue what happened here

video was perfect after the first pack

vtx didnt want to cooperate

[gaunt creek]

This nano DVR?

[solemn cairn]

yeah nano 90 at 540p 90fps

[gaunt creek]

Looks pretty decent. As a flight experience it looks amazing

[soft pecan]

it has a health bar

[solemn cairn]

yeah lol

[gaunt creek]

Still not a go pro, action cam, o4pro. So if you wanna get Cinematography level footage you need action cam. But for freestyle looks great.

[solemn cairn]

discord also makes it look way worse

[gaunt creek]

I know

[soft pecan]

think about it though

one o4 pro? like 200 on a good day

have 2-3 hdzero quads and you've "saved" enough to buy a naked action camera

[gaunt creek]

Still no onboard recording 4k

[soft pecan]

but you have an action camera

likely at a similar weight

and presumably looking better

[gaunt creek]

Next drone I build will have the nano in it. Still no action can tho I refuse

[soft pecan]

and why

other than puke throwing up eww gross action camera

actual reason

[gaunt creek]

Cuz I'm stubborn, and also I NEED auto record if it's on a button I'm fecked. I also like knowing that what I see now will also be in the footage that is pretty later

[soft pecan]

and you think you can't have auto record for some reason?

[gaunt creek]

Yes

[soft pecan]

you can?

[gaunt creek]

I do think that

[stark flower]

Gopros are still basically free or like 40-60$ for you @gaunt creek

‐get new gopro at best buy.
-pay the extra 40-60$ for the ADH 2 year plan minimum.
-abuse the camera all you want for 2 years.
-return it broken as fuck in 1.9 years before ADH expires.
-ADH cost is consumed and gone.
-full cost of camera itself is returned to you.

Often the employees fuck it up and give you back the ADH $$ as well lol.
Many times best buy has paied me to demolish and get a new gopro.

[tepid thicket]

that's fraud

but like the O4 has such good quality even in goggles...

and the video link is great, I went behind a pretty big house (my aunt's) entirely made out of bricks and concrete and I was at 46mbps

[stark flower]

No it is not.
I paid for an insurance and then used it.

At no point whatsoever has any part of the paperwork or agreement been violated in any way.

Should the insurance system increase my premiums over time?
Should there be a limit of how many devices can be warranted in a given time period?
Should best buy alter their ADH agreement to be more beneficial to them?
Arguably yes.

Does that mean using it as its currently worded is fraud?
No.

[queen monolith]

If it's specifically ADH for GoPros, Best Buy might be going through GoPro directly for that
https://gopro.com/en/us/news/Introducing-GoPro-Care-You-Break-It-Well-Replace-It

[stark flower]

Gopro care was gopro trying to cash in or edge best buy out.
They did it smart and have a yearly limit.
Let's it be fair and in go pro's favor.

Good system and makes sense.

Best buy ADH is all out of whack cuz think of how many of those ADH's they sell every day on shit that people never damage?
TV's or whatnot.

BB doesn't care about the ADH $$ going out the door on gopros.
A few times a week at best since FPV such a small market.
When there is so so much more comming in on other devices every day.

BB almost did fix it at one point they temporarily removed gopros only from being allowed to be ADH eligible.
Then they changed course and just increased the premiums.
They dropped the super cheap 1 year ADH.
Now a 2 year is the minimum you can get.

[gaunt creek]

You don't need to turn on the action cam before each session and then press record before each flight?

[tropic wyvern]

https://pyrodrone.com/collections/new-products
quick go grab your kayu frames!

[soft pecan]

there's been plenty cameras that you can arm using like a spare uart

[gaunt creek]

So a switch on remote?

[soft pecan]

yes, or just when you arm

should be very possible

[gaunt creek]

That's cool. Would have to see it to beleave it

[soft pecan]

i think there's also a way to just have it always record when powered

[gaunt creek]

Also what do you think of this conceptually. I'm not even talking about it being DJI just in general this seemed interesting to me

https://youtube.com/shorts/nw7qFtw0B5Y?si=jCeaPoOJ_4tCPfIe

[soft pecan]

i think this is the worst showroom ad and it is absolutely hurting me

[gaunt creek]

I know we don't like speedybee or DJI

[soft pecan]

but after that clover did that "first"

[gaunt creek]

I don't care who did it I wondering what do you think of the concept?

[soft pecan]

it's an awesome concept

of course it is

I've been suggesting it to a few people because people keep going on about how O4 Pro's and digital is too expensive

they could literally just use one single vtx for all their quads

https://cloverfpvsystems.com/

[gaunt creek]

Its interesting way to save money and hedge bets

[gaunt creek]

Oh that's a great link thanks

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek guess who just spent 1100 dollars on 13 frames

[gaunt creek]

Why?!

[clear jewel]

Okay so the first order did go through but I didn't see the order confirmation page

then I ordered again but I did see the page

but the first one did actually go through

[gaunt creek]

So that should be 2

[gaunt creek]

How feck up 11 times?

[clear jewel]

yes 2 ordered

[clear jewel]

what

it was just those 2

they had multiple frames in each oen

[gaunt creek]

Omg why do you need 13 frames?

[clear jewel]

I don't

so I am canceling the first order

so I am only getting 5 frames

[gaunt creek]

Why need 5 frames

[clear jewel]

one 7 inch one 5 inch and three 2.5inch.
the people really like the 2.5 inch so I am getting 3 build 1 keep 1 and sell 1

[gaunt creek]

The heck all at once?

And they call me crazy

[clear jewel]

they only stocked 25 of each

[gaunt creek]

How many drone you have currently

[clear jewel]

it is from europe and this is the first time you can get in the us

[clear jewel]

4

2 of them are broken

which I am about to order the parts to fix

and turn my o4 whoop into one of the 2.5 inch frames

[gaunt creek]

Do you have full pockets at the moment

[clear jewel]

what

[gaunt creek]

Thats gotta be expensive

[clear jewel]

for the 2 analoh whoops it is like 150 max

[gaunt creek]

Do you have a lot of spare money rn

[clear jewel]

for the 2.5 inch it is 200 ish and then the 5 inch and the 7 inch i won't build for a bit

[clear jewel]

yes

[soft pecan]

i mean you could've always just bought them

especially if you were buying that many

[clear jewel]

I only bought that many because I accidently ordered twice

all I was gonna order was the 5

[gaunt creek]

Nice

[soft pecan]

but then you also don't cancel

[clear jewel]

I sent the email to cancel

and they haven't responded

[soft pecan]

call

[clear jewel]

ima do that right now

[gaunt creek]

I'm not going to let you have more working drones than me

[clear jewel]

i called and got it cancelled

[soft pecan]

yippee

[gaunt creek]

Good

[clear jewel]

so I only have those 5 frames coming

[gaunt creek]

That means you could have 9 drones 🥶

[clear jewel]

I won't tho

[gaunt creek]

I must catch up

[clear jewel]

it will be at 5 for a bit

but 1 of them won't have a o4 air unit

[clear jewel]

it will take a while and I won't build out all 3 of the same ones

and the 2 big ones ill do 1 next month or so and the other a while later

[gaunt creek]

Your tricks won't decieve me

[clear jewel]

my dad won't let me

and I only have 1 o4 pro

[gaunt creek]

My trick is to not have a dad 🥹

[clear jewel]

but you have that really cute kitty

[gaunt creek]

Truuuuuue

[clear jewel]

@gaunt creek JEALOUS

WHY DID YOU PUT A KNIFE TO YOUR CAT

[gaunt creek]

He needs to be reminded who is incharge

[clear jewel]

he is so fecking cute tho

[gaunt creek]

Here isy prettier cat

Wilson dropped a chair on her and broke her leg at some point

[clear jewel]

orange tabby is cutier

cute

[steady willow]

It Moved!

[soft pecan]

sounds like it'll be in the UK soon

[steady willow]

Here's hoping.

Got drone side antennas sorted, just waiting for the goggle side, and I'm good to go.

Turns out, the HDZ Freestyle v2 VTx will fit lovely in a FoxWhoop25 frame with a Diatone F740 AIO....

I think the SillyWhoop might make a comeback.

[tropic wyvern]

:P

[steady willow]

Needs a less "Fuck me first!" Camera mount making for it though.

That poor nano walksnail kit.

[tropic wyvern]

lol

[gaunt creek]

I'm able to 3d rubix cube in sim gonna go for first IRL attempts tomorrow change my rates for it. what's your progress?

[hollow venture]

I’ll have you know it’s actually Rubik’s

[gaunt creek]

ill have you know stfu

[gaunt creek]

@soft pecan this is technically a rubiks cube right? even tho its sloppy?

[stark flower]

the one at 9 sec is prob ur best there

[gaunt creek]

I saw 4 different videos of Rubik's cubes doing different things. so just wanted to make sure what I was doing is at least the right thing even if bad

[stark flower]

Rubix is any combination of:
snap roll/yaw/flip in a smooth& fast 90/180 manor such that you end up going out of the move in a planned controlled manor (almost always forwards but other directions are fair game{harder})

watch someone solve a rubix cube speed style.
there is no set order or direction.
just precice control for a set outcome

[gaunt creek]

I did not yaw 💀

[stark flower]

im not saying you have to

but it falls into the options

TBH most rubix priob dont even yaw

[gaunt creek]

Yes but my yaw is slow so now I gotta increase rates to compensate 😭

[soft pecan]

yes

[stark flower]

yaw by physics nature can't be as fast as pitch/roll

[gaunt creek]

Thanks

[gaunt creek]

Unless I set it to a max rate of 2000 🤫

[stark flower]

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-meme-aardman-the-pirates-pirate-gif-26563702

yaw hits a limit physics per build wise much sooner than pitch/roll.

so argualbly if you wanted "samless yaw" in the rubix.

you would wanna limit your pitch/roll rates to match the actual IRL max your yaw can hit

[gaunt creek]

2000 yaw will show those limits lol

[tropic wyvern]

I completely forgot

[graceful bluff]

What is the Minecraft healthbar at the bottom left for lol

[ruby ice]

battery voltage maybe? yeah its also on the other side, but like, fpv pilot

[graceful bluff]

The cats are

Cats control the economy

And all of our lives

[graceful bluff]

Prop health? Hahaha

[ruby ice]

probably lmao

i never take off with anything more than 4 hearts honestly

[solemn cairn]

[graceful bluff]

Nice, and how did you make it look like that?

[graceful bluff]

How responsible

Not like s o m e people

[solemn cairn]

You put a custom osd file on the goggles sd card

[gaunt creek]

You can't wiggle out of this it was YOUR idea to do Rubik's cubes you have until Sunday to finish your homework assignment. If you do it with some consistency in sim you can still get partial credit

[tropic wyvern]

alr

[gaunt creek]

Good 👀

[gaunt creek]

Look @tropic wyvern mine are not even good or even consistent. And that's a sim so you got this

[tropic wyvern]

But im whooping now!

[gaunt creek]

Good looking forward to your vod

[tepid thicket]

the screen kept turning off lmfao

you hit the wall hard a few times, insane how they can stand such impacts

[tropic wyvern]

Lmao

[tropic wyvern]

Cant record dvr

[tropic wyvern]

Yeag

[tepid thicket]

I was looking around for analog goggles

[gaunt creek]

Hssss

[tropic wyvern]

The stupid module does not want to work

[tepid thicket]

found some skyzones used in my city

[tropic wyvern]

What skyzones

[tepid thicket]

04O

[tropic wyvern]

Nice

How mutch

[tepid thicket]

dude wants 270

but considering it's from my city I could go lower

bc I ain't doing 270 lmfao

[tropic wyvern]

They are like 420 new

[tepid thicket]

330 dollars on official website

taxes included

free shipping

[grave cloud]

Yea guess what the package I'm waiting for is

[tepid thicket]

lol

I wanted to spend the least amount of money possible since it's only for whoops

[grave cloud]

Part of me wishes I just got hdz g2 but I don't have that kinda money right now

So it's gonna be a classic case of

[tepid thicket]

I mean if they work

[grave cloud]

I think I'll be purely analog for a good while so

[tepid thicket]

this applies for stuff that sucks and dies that you need to replace

[grave cloud]

Yeah this should be decent enough to work I hope

[tepid thicket]

yea cmon how much do you need to spend otherwise

there are much cheaper box goggles that work so why would this not work

[grave cloud]

I have EV800Ds and I hate them which is why I'm upgrading

Can still use them as a secondary display for friends tho at least

[tepid thicket]

I saw them and I was like "ew how can someone use them"

[grave cloud]

Yeah they don't feel good

[tepid thicket]

I like HDzero G2 a lot, they look really nice but Imo spending 700 bucks for goggles to use with a 100 euros whoop is a waste of money

[grave cloud]

Like it works but it's not what I'd call a pleasant experience

I'd love to use HDzero for long range but there is the recording issue, the O4 is unbeatable in terms of image quality with no action cam

HDzero setup plus action cam would require me to pay more than 1100 euros which is just unjustifiable, other than something that I absolutely can't affor rn

I got 250 euros if I'm lucky

I started with o4pro 5inches and then went to analog tinywhoops
Now I mostly only fly analog so if your flying for fun analog is more than enough

I'm gonna slap a gopro on my bigger quads (when I have them)

[tepid thicket]

On my 7” I got O4 pro yea

[grave cloud]

Sorta wanna make a naked action 4 or smth

[tepid thicket]

The good thing about the O4 is that it’s a naked action 4

[grave cloud]

lmao true ig

[tepid thicket]

It just requires dji goggles

[gaunt creek]

But lemme guess you don't fly it much

[tepid thicket]

I fly it once a week at most

[gaunt creek]

Absolutely

[tepid thicket]

Even less tbh

[gaunt creek]

Honestly that's pretty good

[tepid thicket]

Just because my cousin is here

Otherwise it goes down to once per month

No space for 7” stuff

Tbh it makes me wanna sell it but I know the day I’ll need it I’ll regret doing it

[gaunt creek]

I got DJI goggles 3 and HDzero goggles 2 and I like the idea of using my o4pros more. But in practice I use the goggles 2 a lot more

[tepid thicket]

I hate G3s

[gaunt creek]

That was more what I experienced

[grave cloud]

That's one of the reasons why I don't wanna fly O4

[tepid thicket]

They just look so uncomfortable to wear and light leaks a lot afaik

I got integras

[grave cloud]

If you don't like what dji gives you, tough, you have no other options

[tepid thicket]

Still it’s the easiest way to shoot video imo

Especially coming from O3

[grave cloud]

Yeah I can see that

[tepid thicket]

You don’t need to buy new goggles and shit

And action cams are so expensive

[grave cloud]

I can get an action 4 for like

200€

[tepid thicket]

Someone told me to buy a dji action 1 lmfao

Good for you here it’s much more

[grave cloud]

Not the worst

[tepid thicket]

I have an action 3

Which is the only one that doesn’t support gyro data

[grave cloud]

oof

[tepid thicket]

Also O4 has bigger sensor

And tbh between O3 and O4 there’s a huge difference, I didn’t like the O3 enough to shoot video but the O4 is great

Gopro is superior in resolution but lacks in anything else, and we all know the magic of gopro

Forgot about the sensor aspect ratio too but shooting mainly horizontal video I don’t care too much

[gaunt creek]

I think they are significantly more comfortable than the hdzero goggles 2 and I have zero light leak

[gaunt creek]

True

[tepid thicket]

For me DJI G2s are a nightmare to wear for example

Most people like them

I tried them and couldn’t even keep them on, integras are deeper and allow your face to sit easier

Or better, my face

[tropic wyvern]

Im surprised my whoop is still alive

[tepid thicket]

I was about to say lmao

[gaunt creek]

How are action cams on 3.5"

[tepid thicket]

“Go touch grass”
“Nah I rather cut grass”

[tropic wyvern]

lmao

[tepid thicket]

Bet that smells like a lawn mower now

Like Bottas’ mercedes

[tropic wyvern]

LMAO

i kamikazed into myself on accidens

into my neck

[tepid thicket]

Ouch

[gaunt creek]

Ah these votes are dead even 😭 anyone care to explain why?
