I got some gear on its way to conduct some VTX and antenna testing:

*  ImmersionRC Power Meter v1
*  30db Attenuator
*  6Ghz and 1Ghz Directional Coupler

I kick myself because I had this setup I got from Channel1/Wayne from FPVLab and sold it a few months ago thinking with today's tech I wouldn't really need it anymore.  But now that I am interested in long range, I wish I still had it.

VTX Testing

VTX testing will be straightforward.  I plan to just plug in the power meter to the vtx with the attenuator in between and do mW readings.  I'll get a 60db one for >500mw.

Antenna Testing

I will try two methods for antenna testing. 

The first will be to set up reference antennas on both the VTX and power meter set apart at a distance of -25db which marks the midpoint of the lowest -50 reading and highest 0 reading.  Then I'll replace a reference antenna with the test antenna to see how it compares to the -25db.  I think this should give me an indication of antenna efficacy.

This second method is what Wayne did and measures SWR / standing wave radio / how much of the signal is bounced back to the VTX from the antenna / how well tuned the antenna is to the selected frequency.  This involves taking a power measurement with the directional coupler with the VTX and test antenna on both directions.  The difference in power readings is run through an SWR calculator to give the SWR ratio where best is closest to 1:1.

Please let me know if anything here is off.  I did these vtx and antenna tests a long time ago when the tech was nowhere near as good as they are today.

I build a lot, but allready i didnt any buildlog-something inhere.

I started fpv with inexpensive eachine pnp products, all had some small issues, but in the end they was a huge pleasure.
i never bought a diy kit, i liked to buy the happymodel trainer90, but i didnt in the end.
there is the tyro-line, the tyro69 seems inexpensive as a basher. Intressted to have a look what i would get, i bought one.


caddx beetle v2 - seems to be pretty bad image quality xD with a 25mw vtx
f4
20a 4in1 2-6s, i dont know if its honest but written on banggood, 6s on a that cheap esc?
1104 8600kv 2-3s
kingkong 65mm props


its not the most intressting buildlog, there are a few xD.
as its a too simple build, i liked to build it different. low profile, as light as possible. i will defenetly replace the top-cam-mount, probably with a selfmade ziptie-pod or a printed pod. short look, the cam seems to be no need to protect at the moment

first thing i did, was take the connecters away, the ones which arent needed for good everyday practice; esc and some on the fc.



sharp edges on the frame, not so beautifull cut from the manufacture but for the price.. i scratch a bit
made them a bit round. otherwise it seems to be pretty stiff, a bit impressed about the stiffness of the 2mm.
tiny solder job xD as i have low temps at my workbench at the moment, i had to beleive; soldering doesnt work as good as in a warm room. the motorwires was a pain, paired wire quality and temps, i couldnt do a nice job there. if a beginner solder this wires, he is ready to solder every wire xD positive view about xD what a bad wire -happens






picture how a frequently in use unclean workbench looks like :-)


actually it looks like;


i gave the cam a bit more angle, probably too much xD
i beleive no one builded a tyro69 with that low profile will it be a benefit?

i have to setup betaflight and do a maidenflight. still waiting for the new receiver, the old xm+ i added doesnt work as it should, give me a extrem short range, only for a try.

short build, not enough unique, there will come changes. i will update... when i get the receiver and changes about the top...

very intressted if it will work days or weeks, or even a month in the original settup.

Ok!

I have a Beta HX115 that I have been learning to fly / tune on.  I'm currently using Joshua Bardwells rates & PID.

Issue:  After takeoff, everything will perform normally for typically 15-30 seconds before, what for lack of better understanding, seems to be my roll rate changing dramatically.  Typically it would take a few tenths of a second to complete an entire roll when throwing the stick all the way to either side.  Instead, what happens when this anomaly rears its head ( which occurs mid flight, right after takeoff is perfectly fine, and sometimes throwing the quad around a couple of quick pitch loops magically solves the problem.. for a little bit ), is that suddenly when I move the roll stick its INCREDIBLY mushy and unresponsive.   Throwing the stick all the way right or left for a roll results in a roll that takes well over a second.. close to 2 seconds most often to complete.  

Any advice where to start replacing items, changing tune would be greatly appreciated!!
Mind this is my first quad, so it has taken somewhat of a beating thus far.  I have no doubt of the possibility that I've broken hardware or made mistakes in software... Though at this point, the changes I've made in the software are nearly non-existent with the exception of flashing betflight 4.1.1 and using JB's rates/PID's.

Thanks!

Selling the Taranis QX7 in very good condition. Has an RDQ 2S 3500 lipo and an XM+ conformal coated. $100 + buyer pays shipping. Due to shipping restrictions, I will only be shipping within the United States.

Hi there fellas. 
As the title says, i can't figure out the way to fix my quad in a way it flies smooth, i always see some wobbles or oscillations here and there, and they are really noticeable to me just on the GoPro video, or maybe is also present on the DVR but is hard to tell due its nature. 
I've followed the advices given before by all of you fellas but still, it's driving me -nuts-.

Next you gonna find a dump file and a couple of videos showing a normal flight with no even full throttle, is just a normal cruising flight. 
Motors are always "cool" and the props, for this video in particular, were a it beaten up, i just change them and i'll make the same exercise tomorrow with new props, but even before i was getting those.

You can find next the HD and DVR videos:

I have two runcam nano 3's that I am trying to use with a Happy Model Diamond VTX and a Tinyhawk S.  I purchased JST SH 1.25 3pin to JST SH 1.00 3pin connectors to go from the camera to the VTX.  I plugged it into the Diamond VTX and the screen shows weird symbols (see attached).  I plugged it into the Tinyhawk S and the board won't power on with a LiPo and when I unplug it, it powers on.  See attached for picture of connection.  Does anyone know what is going wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,

I have a matek M8Q-5883 GPS/compass module wired to my Holybro Kakute F7 mini flight controller. GPS rx goes to a tx uart, tx goes to an rx uart and the GPS icon lights up in betaflight. The onboard barometer is also showing up.

The module has SDA/SCL outputs (this is i2c, right?) and I have those wired to my FC with SDA-SDA and SCL-SCL. Nothing I do can get the magnetometer icon lit, so I'm looking for suggestions. Here's what I tried so far:

-Tried various mag_hardware, mag_i2c_address, mag_i2c_device combinations. These functions don't seem well documented, but the barometer versions are, so I used this page as guidance.
-Voodoo was kind enough to compile a custom BF4.2 target with slower i2c speed and gain deleted based on recommendations that worked for others in this thread. Still didn't work (but massive props to voodoo!)

Think this mag just isn't compatible with this flight controller? Any recommendations for other GPS/mag modules that would? I managed to fry my FC so I have another one on the way.. I'll try iNav on it, since others have said that magnetometers usually work in iNav when they don't work in BF.


Here's my diff all:

Virtual Switches in OpenTX - add another 3-position switch in software!

I'm setting up a quad for iNav and my X-lite pro doesn't seem to have enough switches for the additional flight modes (position hold, altitude hold, waypoints, return to home, etc.). So I came up with a way to make a "virtual" 3-position switch by holding a momentary button while moving one of my existing 3-position switches. 

It's like a shift key - when the button isn't held, the 3 position switch acts like normal, sending its values over one channel. But when I hold the button, the 3 position switch adjusts the values on another channel, and doesn't change the original channel. It also doesn't change the value until the switch moves, so things won't change on the original channel when releasing the button.

You could do this to multiple switches on one controller to greatly expand the capabilities of your controller! And if you don't want to add more channels or don't have any, you can add the virtual switches to existing channels by following JB's method (video below). Here's how it works:

Code:

//NOTE: SB is the switch that will be modified, SF is the momentary button.

LOGICAL SWITCHES:
L01 |▵|≥x SB 1 SF↑ //Add a duration of 0.1! Switch will activate for 0.1sec when SF isn’t held and SB moves
L02 |▵|≥x SB 1 SF↓ //Add a duration of 0.1! Switch will activate for 0.1sec when SF is held and SB moves (i.e we’re adjusting our virtual switch)
L03 AND SB↑ L01 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to upper position and SF isn’t held
L04 AND SB- L01 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to middle position and SF isn’t held
L05 AND SB↓ L01 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to lower position and SF isn’t held
L06 AND SB↑ L02 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to upper position and SF is held
L07 AND SB- L02 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to middle position and SF is held
L08 AND SB↓ L02 --- //Activates for 0.1sec when SB is moved to lower position and SF is held
L09 Stky L03 L01 --- //Stays on when SB moves to upper position while SF isn’t held until SB moves again while SF isn’t held*
L10 Stky L04 L01 --- //Stays on when SB moves to mid position while SF isn’t held until SB moves again while SF isn’t held
L11 Stky L05 L01 --- //Stays on when SB moves to lower position while SF isn’t held until SB moves again while SF isn’t held
L12 Stky L06 L02 --- //Stays on when SB moves to upper position while SF is held until SB moves again while SF is held
L13 Stky L07 L02 --- //Stays on when SB moves to mid position while SF is held until SB moves again while SF is held
L14 Stky L08 L02 --- //Stays on when SB moves to lower position while SF is held until SB moves again while SF is held

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS: //NOTE: replace “X” with the channel you want to use for the original switch, and “Y” for the channel you want for the virtual switch
L09 Overr CHX 100 ☑︎ //Sends the max value over channel “X” after SB moved to upper position while SF wasn’t held
L10 Overr CHX 0 ☑︎ //Sends 0 value over channel “X” after SB moved to middle position while SF wasn’t held
L11 Overr CHX -100 ☑︎ //Sends the min value over channel “X” after SB moved to lower position while SF wasn’t held
L12 Overr CHY 100 ☑︎ //Sends the max value over channel “Y” after SB moved to upper position while SF was held
L13 Overr CHY 0 ☑︎ //Sends 0 value over channel “Y” after SB moved to middle position while SF was held
L14 Overr CHY -100 ☑︎ //Sends the min value over channel “Y” after SB moved to lower position while SF was held

MIXES: //This is where you set the initial value of the channels when you first start up your transmitter. If you want it to be 0, you don’t have to do this. But I like all my aux channels to start at min value, since I have alerts set if the switches aren’t all in the lower position when starting up
CHX 100 MAX //Set offset to -200 for min value, -100 for 0 value, and no offset for max value on channel X
CHY 100 MAX //Set offset to -200 for min value, -100 for 0 value, and no offset for max value on channel Y

*//NOTE:L01 is used to both activate and deactivate this switch. This is why we need a duration of 0.1sec - OpenTx seems to handle this OK.

Now connect your quad to betaflight and go to the receiver tab and check that it functions as expected. On my setup it sometimes doesn't change the value if I move the switch really quickly, so keep that in mind.

Let me know if you tried this! And if you have any questions/issues/suggestions to make this more reliable or elegant. I'll add a video of how it functions soon.

I am Building a new 2.5 “ using a iFlight SucceX Mini F4 TwinG V3 stack. STM32F405 4.0.4 firmware

Is it normal for a fc to not be able to power a rx on usb(R9mm Rx)

Also, when I use battery there is approx 2 sec delay before fc sees the rx and gives the last arming 2 beeps. I checked my usb and it puts out 5v. The fc 5V rail only shows 2.14v on usb. But when I use battery both 2s and 4s it puts a steady 4.95v out and the rx seems fine.

Total newb here.  I have an iflight cinebee.  Set it up in betaflight following a youtube video.  Everything worked but not really well.  I thought maybe I shouldn't use his settings.  So I reset them in betaflight.  Now everything is messed up. The UART ports are missing.   The calibrate accelerometer and magnetometer are greyed out.  The on screen drone doesn't move when I physically move my drone.  I can't bind to my radio.  And there used to be 3 quick beeps followed by 2 more when I plugged in a battery...now there is only the 3 quick beeps.  I read a post somewhere, the guy said to type defaults in the CLI, but that didn't work for me unfortunately.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi

I wired 4 Diatone Mamba LED sw401 strips to the Mamba FC F7 at each corner as indicated in the Mamba wiring diagram. I checked the soldering, made sure that the 5v was with the 5v pad, ground to ground and signal to signal in on each LED strip. Plugged in the 4s Lipo.
But no lights, nada. 

LED lights is on with beta flight. I also configure the 4 strips. I tried the  small button on the FC. It is supposed to change the lights. But nothing, nada, no ligt.

Do any of you has any idea?

Thanks

Fizou

Hi all,


have some problem with my Mamba F405 mini ESC. After ACC calibration with my Taranis, after using secound Lipo battery suddenly my drone tuned off.

Now when i plugin battery, i have only V5 in FC.
ESC not working, no beeping, also BLheli dosnt see it.
Im new in this Hobby, and its my first quad. I've been flying it for 2 weeks without any issue. Until today D:

Its can happen becouse i mounted realy close ESC near FC? Then some parts get to hot?
I checked all connentions between + and each motor wires. Everywhere is ~15V.
In attachments 2 pictures form this ESC.
Im realy confused and in future want to avoid it.
Can someone give me some sugestions, how its could happend?

BR,
Cvbn

After many hours of reading this forum. And many hours of watching Joshua Bardwell videos, I finally was able to take my tinyhawk to a large secluded Park and run through all of the batteries I have. I want to thank everyone here and everyone online that has helped or given advice to any new Quad pilot for all of their help. It has been a trying time for me as I've had to replace one camera and the VTX due to a manufacturing error. I replaced the VTX with and hglrc Nano VTX and it works like a champ. I bounced off a few trees had to use Turtle mode a few times but all is well and the quad flies great. Once again thank you community.

Well....I don't really know what to say about this pair of goggles. It works 100% fine, but you would have to be a real madman to buy this thing. Although it comes with an almost brand-new True-D 4.0 and the RDQ 3000mah 2S lipo, it's just so funny to step back and look at this monstrosity I have created.  

Anyways, I'm asking for $180 for the set, which isn't a really bad deal, considering the fact that the True-D is about $70 and the lipo $15.

Can only ship to U.S. PM if interested.

(Oh yeah, I installed a female pin header inside, so you can simply unplug the True-D and use a RapidFire if you want. I just didn't want to take the whole thing apart again.)
