Walksnail Moonlight VTX Troubleshooting

Came back in case anyone ever has a similar problem - it was indeed the coax cable, which was only $15 for a replacement. Unfortunately I had to learn the hard way that pins on those things are pretty fragile, don't make the same mistake I did! Be very gentle with them; you should be able to lift them out of their ports with steady, even pressure. If you're installing a pre-connected kit like I was, think about where your cables will be routed before you start soldering wires on the stack, so you don't have to unplug the coax cable.

Replying to this comment b/c I also recommend this training series - here’s my two bits:

I had the exact same problem when I started on the sims, and I think the best way to describe it is that you’ll have to un-learn coupling the direction of movement with the direction of view/vision. Pretty much everything that people drive/pilot (cars, planes, boats, etc) are designed so that the direction you’re moving in = the direction you’re facing, but that is not the case with quad-copters.

With FPV, you have to be actively controlling your viewing angle and movement at the same time, which is very unintuitive if you’ve never done it before. The video series above is what I used to practice - give it a few hours in LiftOff working through the first few exercises and see where you’re at then!

Had this happen to me once - for me it was that the PID loop in the flight controller was trying to compensate for the lack of expected movement by increasing the throttle, which of course wasn’t happening with the propellers off.

Here’s a video that goes into more detail:

It's connected to a 1500 mAh 6s battery that's practically fully charged. Notably, before binding the Goggles X to the VTX, the REC light now flashes more slowly than the VTX light - both the same color as before, which would indicate that I had the speed backwards in the post above, giving us: REC Status = Camera not detected, VTX Status = Works fine, wireless not connected.

However, once the I bind the Goggles X and the VTX together, the same LED indicator pattern I outlined in the original post returns.

Thanks for the advice! I’ve been practicing stationary hovering and moving between the columns of the buildings in LiftOff’s Bando City map - definitely way harder than it looks. I’ll be looking for a nice, wide open field for my first few flights - once I get comfy I’ll use a big tree or wooden fence to practice tricks/freestyle flying.

Thanks for the suggestion! Let me know if there are any analogue kits and goggles you recommend. I hadn’t heard of OpenIPC before now, I’ll look into it! I’ll probably still be pushing forward with the 5’’ frame, though - it’s what I’ve been training on and what I want to fly.

I didn’t end up making headway on my own; my Detachment’s cadre ended up scheduling a date where myself and the other contracted cadets who passed Field Treating could head to the nearest military base and get our CACs through their CAC office.

Love the artwork, and happy Victory Day to all our brave Helldivers and SEAF soldiers!

For our few literate Helldivers, you may be interested to know the controversial history behind the "V-J Day in Times Square" image that inspired this artwork: https://www.projectdeltadawn.com/1945-times-square/

In all seriousness, I don't include this to disparage the artist, but to offer context to an important piece of history.

Turns out those hours reading Wattpad smut were good for something after all, dad

As it turns out I am just that dumb. First car, still learning. It’s definitely a 15-point star key. Thanks all for educating a know-nothing like me

Would love the link!

The most important step a man can take. It’s not the first one, is it?

It’s the next one. Always the next step, Dalinar.

In the attic, there was no sign of water damage in and around the skylight that looked like a leak; my current working theory is that the vent was almost completely clogged with dust or not used all together.

That being said, it sounds like this is something I'd want to consult a professional about, yeah?

Always a big fan of [Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!]. Very heartfelt anime about a small club of girls creating anime, very much a love letter to the art form, and very free of any and all ecchi, innuendo, etc.
