What VTX do you have?
#I'm fairly new to building drones and cant get my VTX right for my HGLRCF405v2!

Its probaly so far from anything recognisable man, i didnt have too much money to put into this quad XD
cant find anything on it at the moment
winged grotto
it worked before i flashed 4.3 to it

Without itformation on the VTX, you'll have a hard time setting up the VTX tables. If they're not set up right, it just won't work
subtle jetty
it worked before i flashed 4.3 to it
what firmware version is on it now?
winged grotto
originally, i flashed it to 4.3 because i was told ibus was only going to work with it and just to test something when i was out of town with my laptop i flashed it to 4.5.2 to see if my controller would still connect and it did and worked fine so i kept it there
subtle jetty
originally, i flashed it to 4.3 because i was told ibus was only going to work w...
so it's 4.5.2 now
?
winged grotto
correct
subtle jetty
you need to test with a working VTX table
Can you at least get a link to where you bought it from? Or even just a photo
winged grotto
heres a photo, the original link is gone and dosent lead aywhere now.
winged grotto
you need to test with a working VTX table
could you help guide me with that
hollow marsh
heres a photo, the original link is gone and dosent lead aywhere now.
post the original link pls
and a photo of the other side of the vtx if possible
hollow marsh
it worked before i flashed 4.3 to it
can you post the config backup you made before flashing?
hollow marsh
show a screenshot of the whole Video Transmitter page
winged grotto
i tried manually imputting those into it.
hollow marsh
according to the specs it uses TBS Smart Audio protocol?
I wonder why you're getting device ready: yes when it's set to MSP lol
winged grotto
poor quality, smaller text is:
VIN 7-26V
GND
DATA
VIDEO
GND
5V OUT

Here's the actual VTX table they supply, you can import it in Video Transmitter tab

5V OUT
I got pics and specs on the product page, don't worry
hollow marsh
Disable MSP on that row
also I assume you know which UART you've got it wired up to
and that it's wired to the TX side of that UART
hollow marsh
actually i think im lost again ;-;
which UART?
winged grotto
im not sure how to tell
winged grotto
i think it says rx 2
sorry im lacking in propper tools and had to take my fc apart
hollow marsh
that's not a VTX port
And oh boy, I hope you haven't killed anything if you powered it up in this state
putting 5V on video doesn't always end well
since it's a 1Vish signal
make sure you're looking at the correct cable...
but ig you are
show a photo of that entire side of the fc
hollow marsh
theres also this port?
I hope the receiver isn't plugged into that port cause that's not right either
at least according to common wire colors
winged grotto
recievers not
hollow marsh
so what is plugged into there?
VTX goes here (red):
Receiver goes here (blue) :
show pics of new wiring once you fix it
just wanna sanity check the wire colors
actually, wait
hmmm
winged grotto
theres another port with pads i have reciever on
winged grotto
rx3 5v and ground
hollow marsh
what receiver have you got?
winged grotto
flysky fs-16
hollow marsh
that's the radio, but oh lord..
winged grotto
or well
winged grotto
i already had the radio ;-;
hollow marsh
it's a shit radio for drones
winged grotto
thats fair
hollow marsh
guess how i know
the issue is that I made the mistake back in 2018
when there was no other option xD
ahhh
I'll send you a link
and you'll promise me to go have a read once we have everything figured out in case I forget, okay?
This will tell you how to make sure your drone doesn't fly away the moment it loses signal.
Like mine did.
winged grotto
got it 🫡
hollow marsh
oh so, not actually a flysky receiver
winged grotto
fli14+
hollow marsh
that one is slightly less flyaway prone, ironically
winged grotto
Thank god
hollow marsh
still, check it
this one has two issues:
- fixed antennas
- overheating
make sure it's not taped to heck, it needs a bit of airflow
can you send some overall photos of your drone?
so I can see which wires go where and stuff
winged grotto
just like the fc stack and stuff?
hollow marsh
I want to track which components which wires go to
so I have a general idea of how the thing is built
winged grotto
also when going through my fs-i6 i cant find anything under 11 ?
hollow marsh

xD
it's an L , not a 1
winged grotto
omg
winged grotto
they should capatalize it 😢
hollow marsh
As for the failsafe guide I sent earlier - that mostly applies to original flysky receivers.
These 3rd party receivers usually handle failsafe more properly, but you should still check that failsafe works.
winged grotto
gotcha
hollow marsh
the issue is mostly with the IA6B and X6B receivers
the X14S has a different problem now that I recall
god I grew to hate these things so much
imma edit the FAQ post
winged grotto
alright lol
hollow marsh
just added a new heading lol
anyway, send pics of the build
I wanna tell you where to plug shit in so it doesn't blow up
hollow marsh
can you just put the things in how they generally are supposed to be
and send some wide shots ?
not up close
winged grotto
im trying alright
i used a smoke stopper plugged it up and set the uart to 1 and its working ;-;
i had the reciever plugged into that 5v port and thats why it wouldnt work
i set up my radio with all the instructions you gave aswell
hollow marsh
im trying alright
why is the resolution like 5x5 😂
winged grotto
dont worry ;-;
hollow marsh
I can't see shit in the pics
it looks like you sent screenshots of thumbnails of photos
winged grotto
not to far from what im having to do ;-;
hollow marsh
y tho
winged grotto
cant get discord to function on my phone
hollow marsh
so just upload the pics from your pc?
or upload them to imgur on phone and send link from pc
winged grotto
i dont know, first flight was awesome. i got outside setup got my gopro on it cause it has gps and i wanted to have that, my goggles are fogging up and im constantly having to take them off and whipe them before flying and then my gopros bluetooth is messed up so i cant check the preview and just decide to fly it, my headset strap comes off after like 10 secondes of flying and i catch it and dont crash, i get the quad back and its a little heavy and the gopros just deadweight and the thing on the gopro snaps and wont come off so i have to take the battery off and unscrew it from the bottom and get it off then my batter hatch thing falls off and i just leave it because im already tireed of it and fly for a bit get my quad back again start packing up, otw back in (3 foot walk) my lanyard breaks and my controller falls down 4 steps (all on the gimbals) with the battieries everywhere and i just keep walking.
i dont think the world wants me to fly fpv ;-;
