Tiny whoop build

[crude summit]

Im trying to make a parts list for a tiny whoop
here is the spread sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12D9urAahbwY1wCOsS79FfKw-ZzIGRPoobGYejNU24Tc/edit?usp=sharing

[nocturne cloud]

analog and what size?

65mm or 75mm?

[crude summit]

analog and 75

are there any frames that are better than other or really the only difference is the weight

[nocturne cloud]

some are stronger than others

on top of weight being a big difference

[crude summit]

are there any that you think are better

cause I don't really know anything about any of the parts like which ones are better and stuff

[nocturne cloud]

well you're limited to tinywhoop.com right

[crude summit]

trying to yes

cause I would just drive and pick it all up

[nocturne cloud]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/collections/75mm-frames

probably just the air75 frame out of that selection

unless @fierce timber or @edgy summit know something

[crude summit]

the meteor 75 air

[nocturne cloud]

yeah

[crude summit]

cause it is by far the lightest

by like 1.5 grams

next up is motors

[edgy summit]

ive only used air 75 or meteor 75 frames

[fierce timber]

are you in the usa ?

[edgy summit]

for 75mm rigs

[crude summit]

yes

i am getting all parts from

[fierce timber]

analog ?

[crude summit]

https://www.tinywhoop.com

[crude summit]

yes

[fierce timber]

then I would recommend you build a fractal75 with meteor75 air whoops, some topsin 0802 25kkv, some hq ul 40mmx2, a tinywhoop pinch and an air aio (either 4in1 + a happymodel ep2 or a 5in1 aio, 4in1 will be a tad better since betafpv's receiver isn't the best)

[crude summit]

uhh

wdym fractal 75 with me75 air whoops

[fierce timber]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/meteor75-air-brushless-whoop-frame?_pos=1&_psq=air+75&_ss=e&_v=1.0
https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/copy-of-fractal-65-lite-brushless-frame-kit?_pos=1&_psq=fractal+75&_ss=e&_v=1.0

you get both

[crude summit]

oh okayt

[fierce timber]

cut the whoops off the air frame

put on the fractal

voila

also get spare frames, no need to get spares of the fractal, but of the air frame you will need some

one of the great parts of the fractal frame is if you break something it's only one of the prop guards not the whole frame

[crude summit]

so just use the whoop part of air

[fierce timber]

yeah

[crude summit]

you can go here and help me

[fierce timber]

I already sent you everything tho

[crude summit]

i was confused

[fierce timber]

well, except for the batteries, get some lava/tattu/tinywhoop 450mah 1s

[crude summit]

ok

[fierce timber]

you will want a dozen or more

for the antenna, the air aio comes with a sleeved dipole

you could grab a truerc singularity lite if you want tho

[crude summit]

could we just go one thing at a time

cause my brain is very small

[fierce timber]

I mean, it's all in the above list

[crude summit]

for props 2 or 3 blade

[fierce timber]

some hq ul 40mmx2

[crude summit]

so that means 2 blad

e

[fierce timber]

yes

[crude summit]

just like these

https://www.tinywhoop.com/collections/40mm-props/products/hq-ultralight-whoop-prop-40mmx21-6x1-2-2cw-2ccw-pc-1-5mm-shaft

[fierce timber]

the 1mm shaft tho

[crude summit]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/collections/40mm-props/products/hq-ultralight-whoop-prop-40mmx21-6x1-2-2cw-2ccw

these?

[fierce timber]

yes

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/802-25kkv-calliope-edition-project-topspin-tiny-whoop-motors?_pos=1&_psq=802+25kkv&_ss=e&_v=1.0

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/air-brushless-flight-controller?_pos=4&_psq=air&_ss=e&_v=1.0

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/singularity-rhcp-20mm-ufl-vtx-antenna?_pos=1&_psq=truerc+singul&_ss=e&_v=1.0 (in 20mm, optional)

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/pinch

[crude summit]

wait for the board will it fit the plug in motors

[fierce timber]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/tiny-whoop-hv-450mah-1s-battery-bt2-0-connector-v2-0
tinywhoop's batteries are pretty overpriced tho, I would recommend you grab some tattu/lava 450mah 1s from another shop

[fierce timber]

no

I believe in you, you can learn to solder

not hard

grab a solder practice board

[crude summit]

no what I am asking

is

[fierce timber]

watch a bardwell video

[crude summit]

the motors have plugs on them

[fierce timber]

I believe in you

and you have scissors

or snips

or side cutters

[crude summit]

okay

[fierce timber]

or teeths

[crude summit]

and what about the camera

does that plug in

or solder

[fierce timber]

you can just plug it in

[crude summit]

okay

[fierce timber]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/tiny-whoop-pinch-premium-fpv-camera-copy
could also go with this variant, the wires should be better soldered on camera side and will require you to solder the camera

the pads for the camera are nice and big tho

[crude summit]

so which one should I get

[fierce timber]

(I mention it since those small flimsy teflon wires are often pretty poorly soldered camera side)

I would get the second

will be less hassle in the long run

[crude summit]

and i forgot

what about canopy

[fierce timber]

no need

it's with the fractal frames

[crude summit]

and 4 in1 or 5 in1

[crude summit]

ah ok

[crude summit]

for the fc

or aio

what ever it is

[fierce timber]

I would get the 4in1 and an ep2 (https://www.tinywhoop.com/products/happymodel-2-4ghz-ep2-rx-express-lrs-receiver), cause the betafpv receiver on the 5in1 isn't great and is prone to breaking or not great performance

[crude summit]

okay

[fierce timber]

also if you don't have tweezers and a third hand (besides all the other soldering equipment) that's also something you will want

[crude summit]

tweezeers?

[fierce timber]

https://www.tinywhoop.com/collections/tools/products/rhino-tweezers

[crude summit]

do I need anything else

for the drone

and what soldering stuff do I need

[fierce timber]

did you read the cvs receipt ?

everything should be in it

[crude summit]

yes

i don't remember

what the stuff was

[fierce timber]

erf,
grab a pinecil, some leaded 63/37 solder (from stannol, mg chemicals or tbs), some flux (from mg chemicals or tbs), a brass sponge (which has to be brass colored, not copper), and I assume you either already have an adequate psu, or PD3.x charger or a lipo charger that can be set to power supply, otherwise you will also need one

a third hand is also very handy, omnifixo is the best one around

and some solder practice board

from diatone/iflight/speedybee or whoever

[crude summit]

this one

[fierce timber]

yes

also some solder wick

[fierce timber]

yes

and side cutters

should be about it

[fierce timber]

and go watch bardwell's video on soldering

[fierce timber]

I did mention 3 brands right

[crude summit]

oh yeah

[fierce timber]

if it's rosin core and 63/37 then yes

[crude summit]

these are all mg chem

i dunno which one

[fierce timber]

get the seringe

[crude summit]

are the two on the left the same

[edgy summit]

Pen bassiscaly useless.
Don't get pen.
That's a no no.

[crude summit]

wait so which do I get

[fierce timber]

the serynge

and you use your eyes to spot the difference

[crude summit]

one is 8342 and one is 8341

one is no clean

[fierce timber]

and you want the no clean

[crude summit]

okay so the far left one

are those fine

[fierce timber]

sure

[crude summit]

do i want .3 ounces or 50ml

[fierce timber]

I don't use imaginary units

so idk

whichever

[crude summit]

ill just say the cheaper one

is there anything else I need

for any of it at all

[edgy summit]

Eye protection

[crude summit]

i have those

@fierce timber are you talking about this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoPT69y98pY

oh I also need a brass sponge

[fierce timber]

yes

[crude summit]

that one seem good

[fierce timber]

sure

[crude summit]

what do you mean adepquate psu

[fierce timber]

can output the correct voltage and enough watts

[crude summit]

do I need to buy something??

[fierce timber]

you tell me

do you have a 120w+ usb pd brick ?

or a variable psu that can output 2-6s voltage

and has enough watts

[crude summit]

is that just like a normal wall brick for like your phone or somethign

[fierce timber]

sure

can be

if it's powerful enough

[crude summit]

i dunno

[fierce timber]

I can't know for you

[crude summit]

that is for the soldering iron correct

and do I need a different tip

[fierce timber]

and the whoopstor

[fierce timber]

you don't have to

[crude summit]

will the whoop stor not come with anythign

[fierce timber]

it will come with a whoopstor

not a whoopstor + psu

[crude summit]

what is the power cord for the whoopstor

also what about the 3rd hand

[fierce timber]

you mean what plugs it uses ?

[crude summit]

yes

[fierce timber]

it can be powered from an xt60 or usb pd

[crude summit]

i can't find any of the cords for the whoopstor

[fierce timber]

I'm confused by what you think you are searching

the whoopstor doesn't plug into a wall

[crude summit]

what does it plug into

[fierce timber]

https://www.drone-fpv-racer.com/systeme-d-alimentation-adp100-20v-5a-100w-toolkitrc-13828.html
like that

for example

[crude summit]

but then how does that plug into the soldering iron

[fierce timber]

https://www.drone-fpv-racer.com/cable-xt60-pour-ts100ts101-2294.html
with things like this

[crude summit]

wait so in the picture I just sent will that one work

[fierce timber]

it's the same psu I sent above, so yes

[crude summit]

so then I get a cord that I plug the xt60 into to plug into the soldering iron

[fierce timber]

yes

[crude summit]

@fierce timber is there any thing else that I need at all

[fierce timber]

should be about right

[crude summit]

k thanks

[crude summit]

wait one last thign

what goggles

cuase the tinywhoop store has

betafpv vr02

or should i get eachien

[fierce timber]

neither

if budget allows, grab some boxpros or some higher end second hand goggles like the o4x

[crude summit]

I think that is too much

[fierce timber]

well, they are going to last you for years on end

consider it an investment

[crude summit]

well

[fierce timber]

gear is half the experience

you want something good

also if you don't have one already you will need a radio

[crude summit]

I already have a whole setup
3.5 inch
dji goggles 3
radiomaster boxer

[fierce timber]

what charger ?

[crude summit]

hota d6

[fierce timber]

it has a psu feature

you can just use that

[crude summit]

oh it does

ok

[fierce timber]

you will need an xt60 male to xt60 male cable

[crude summit]

So I know you spent time helping me get that list but i dunno I feel like I would rather just buy one but still get the soldering stuff

[fierce timber]

you can also just get an air75 sure

but I strongly advise you just build one

it's not hard and you will learn how to work on your quad at the same time

[crude summit]

but I know stuff like that normally makes me really pissed for some reason

[fierce timber]

then you kinda chose the wrong hobby

you aren't gonna avoid it

[crude summit]

i know

[fierce timber]

you will have to work on it

[crude summit]

I want to learn to solder

[fierce timber]

so might as well start now

then do

[crude summit]

but i feel like i would rather just get a built one

I really don't know

[crude summit]

Would I not work if I get the soldering stuff but also just get a prebuilt drone

also what about for goggles

[fierce timber]

It will work indeed

Didn't say the opposite

[crude summit]

I dunno why but I feel like I would rather do that

[fierce timber]

Look for a second hand cobra x v4

I would encourage you not to, imo the fractal above will fly better than an air75

[crude summit]

actually seeing that I am trying to save a bit more money and seeing that I already have dji goggles i might just get a dji whoop

[obtuse plaza]

what’s the xt60 psu in ur spreadsheet for

[obtuse plaza]

*if it’s still up to date

[crude summit]

Uh I think that was before i realized that I can use the Hoya d6 as a psi

Psu
