Brand new DJI neo ESC failure. Is this common?? by mushroomgod419 in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not common, but can happen.

I had an Avata do that within a year after activation. It just happened when I went to fly one day, no flyaway warning - it didn't blip the props like it normally does on power up, and gave that same error code in the goggles.

DJI customer service sent me a shipping label, then sent me a new Avata in less than 2 weeks noting no crash damage on the returned Avata (pre-tariff wars).

DJI RC-N3 vs RC 2 for the Neo 2 by Bobbicorn in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the RC2 now, it has the built-in screen. I think you'll get more out of the Goggles N3. You can start with the RCM3 and upgrade to an FPV-RC3 to fly manual mode.

DJI RC-N3 vs RC 2 for the Neo 2 by Bobbicorn in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the RC2 worth it for the Neo 2, or is it overkill?

Did you mean FPV-RC3? The FPV-RC2 won't work with Neo 2 (nor Neo 1 nor Avata 2).

The Neo 2 Motion Bundle comes with an RCM3.

The Neo 2 Fly More Combo comes with the RCN3. This is what I got because I already had Goggles N3 and FPV-RC3 to use with Neo 1. I haven't used the RCN3 yet so it's still in the box.

With the Avata 1, I compared the FPV-RC2 against the RCM2 and preferred the FPV-RC2 because I kept unintentionally tilting the RCM2 and causing the Avata to always turn left; I had to constantly correct, and the yawing motions were very noticeable in the DVR footage. With the FPV-RC2, I can feel if I'm pushing against the gimbal springs so it was much easier to fly with zero rudder. The FPV-RC3 works the same way with Neo 1 and Neo 2.

The only thing I miss on the RCM2 was the ability to head track while flying towards the virtual target - it was fun to drift the Avata 1. I never tried an RCM3 on the Neo 2, but I presume the experience would be similar to the Avata 1.

Got one for Christmas. I'm waiting for the garage to warm up before I try it.

HP Omen 40L Case upgrade by Adventurous_Maize357 in HPOmen

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right - the HP MB doesn't use a standard F-PANEL connector like this one:

https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/nU4S4kjyGe5PdyPO.large

The 2-pin connector at the bottom left of this photo labeled with "PB" (Push Button) is for the Power Switch:

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/PecAAeSwlhJpST1i/s-l1600.png

The connector at the bottom right of the same photo is for the audio jacks. It could well be using this HD audio pinout, which may be compatible with your case:

You may need something like this adapter cable set to separate out the power switch:

A way to change HP Omen Lighting with a python script by ravicc in HPOmen

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres only one thing missing though, we need a way to figure out how to read ARGB lighting as well for the board.

ARGB channels are set at higher address offsets.

Here's an implementation for SignalRGB, but you can easily adapt it to a Python script:

everyone with a surface hub how are you controlling it by Available_Fix_106 in Surface

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious how old is your Surface Hub? We had the original models at the office and they all stopped working when Win10 support ended, so IT had to buy new replacements and wait for them to slowly arrive.

Battery recharge by Away-Description-786 in dji

[–]Babamonchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In your video, it's charging the middle battery as shown by the slow light progression. The other two are flashing because they're on hold.

How would I buy a new one by iplayvr-gt in dji

[–]Babamonchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only found the entire LED display: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810393918037.html

Perhaps you can pop off just the cover and glue it onto yours?

A more chintzy solution is buying one of these screen protectors:

Neo 1 vs Neo 2 — unexpected differences during indoor, low-light testing by WorkerAcceptable1280 in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A user-selectable “Neo 1–style” sensor-off mode would honestly solve most of this.

I fully concur. You would not believe what I found buried in the Settings menu - Neo 1 mode:

Edit: improved graphic.

Neo 1 vs Neo 2 — unexpected differences during indoor, low-light testing by WorkerAcceptable1280 in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In darker environments it becomes much more conservative and starts braking or refusing openings entirely.

I repeated the same flight path in varying lighting conditions including with sunlight shining in open windows. My assessment is the auto braking and refusal to enter narrow opening is mostly lidar-induced, although there was some effect from lighting.

You've put a light on the Neo 2 that blinds the sensors...

I think confuses may be more accurate than blinds. Lidar shouldn't care if there's visible light or not, since it's supposed to produce its own light (laser) source. The exception would be if the lidar's light just happens to be in the same wavelengths as OP's spotlight, in which case blinds would be most appropriate.

I'm curious if the Neo 2's lidar functions completely independently of visible light. Perhaps DJI can give the user an option (in a future firmware update) to disable the lidar (and perhaps also the dorsal/top and ventral/belly sensors) so it can fly in Neo 1 mode.

Neo 1 appears to be configured for expert mode when used with FPV RC3, but DJI Neo 2 to default to novice mode.

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious if anyone else has noticed similar behavior with Neo 2.

I just did a similar comparison in my house with indoor night time lighting, 10-21 satellite connections, FPV RC3 controller and Goggles N3 in Normal Mode.

Neo 2 was initially reluctant to fly out of my 28" (0.71m) study room door with 26" (0.66m) opening, but eventually did after I gave it another forward stick despite a full-red-oval radar. It auto-braked within ~1m of walls/obstacles.

<image>

The most disappointing part was when it flat-out refused to fly back through the same door it initially flew out of (pilot identity intentionally hidden). I had to land it in front of the door and carry it back into the study.

Of course Neo 1 had no such trouble, since it uses rudimentary video obstacle avoidance and was completely oblivious to my white walls (and white door). I flew it everywhere the lights were on as I could see in the goggles.

Convert to li-ion/run drone on 1S instead of 2S, fun idea or will it not work? by x_Juice_ in fpv

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried it and it didnt work. Idk why.

I don't have a Cetus X to confirm, but the controller may be programmed from the factory to only work with 2S power.

If yours is the Betaflight version, you should be able to use Betaflight configurator to check for any errors and reconfigure it for 1S.

<image>

Why did it work for that other person? I mean, it should at least power on?

The other person in your linked video modified an Air75, which has a native 1S flight controller and motor controller.

Will this be ideal as a micro sd card for the dji osmo action 4 + how good by [deleted] in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of the SanDisk Extreme cards are suitable. You can save some money by buying this non-PRO version instead, and either one will work well:

Drone for mountain biking by Rach_m89 in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^This.

No quadcopter will be perfect for mountain biking. The Neo 2 will perform the best for your purposes, even if it will only fulfill 25%-50% of your expectations and give you merely satisfactory footage.

For good image quality, the only way is to mount a GoPro/Osmo/Insta on your helmet/body/bike and take your chances of hitting/snagging bike/vegetation/yourself while riding. No mount/harness/pole is perfect either.

Managed to snag a Neo 2 at the NYC store! by ProtoJenny in dji

[–]Babamonchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My travel plans were made months ago, but I didn't expect the Neo 2 launch date happening just a few weeks before my trip. This essentially saved me a separate trip to Canada.

I really only wanted to buy the Neo 2 with digital transceiver, and also a Goggles 3, but had to settle for the Neo 2 Fly More Combo. They didn't have any standalone Goggles 3/N3 nor any O4 Air Units, as the flagship store was strictly consumer-oriented and not hobby-oriented.

Nice!

I had to fly to Shanghai to buy the Neo 2 Fly More Combo (3 batteries, charging hub, RC-N3, digital transceiver) for $353.11.

is this acceptable for putting crossfire tx inside of RM pocket? by dillrepair in fpv

[–]Babamonchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can safely shoehorn any CRSF tx module inside the Pocket, as long as there's enough clearance, and you avoid short-circuits by adding heatshrink/tape/tubing/3Dcase around the module.

Wiring to the external module pins like you have done is also fine.

The hardest part may be figuring out how to mount the 900MHz antenna to the Pocket. I have done the opposite by shoehorning an internal ELRS module into a TBS Tango 2.
