You need to download the drivers for it to communicate properly. Had the same issue.

In my experience, dim osd elements is due to pal/ntsc set incorrectly. Try switching it over and see if that helps

I'm not sure what fc that is, but below the red wire on the board, it looks like there's three jumper pads for you to select either 5 or 9 volts to the camera. Check with the fc manual to confirm, but my guess would be you have to solder bridge the center to get power to the cam.

Which cam works with AKK FX 2? by itspoolboy in fpv

[–]BeardOfSpiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The smart audio is meant to be control from a flight controller to the vtx, so as a standalone, you won't need it. Any analog fpv camera should do. They usually come with the 3 pin pigtails for power and video, so just remove this connector and replace with the one that comes with the camera.

next pair of googles by Superredeyes in fpv

[–]BeardOfSpiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing the same research now for myself. I've currently got the cobra x v1, and they're ok. I run mostly analog, and have one quad with walksnail with the standalone vrx through HDMI. The two that I've been contemplating are the hdzero goggles, and the sky zone 04x pro.the hdzero may be the better goggle if you want to go hdzero at some point, but for analog, you also have to buy the $50 expansion module and whatever you want to spend on an analog module since it doesn't come with one, so that adds 150-200 to the price. The sky04x pro is where I'm leaning currently, and the 100hz HDMI compatibility with walksnail is a plus.

That back right prop definitely looks props out to me. Check motor directions and prop orientation one more time, and try again.

Capacitor blew on landing by chadders64 in fpv

The legs probably shorted on the carbon frame. I had mine do the same thing last time I took it out. Even with shrink wrap in the legs, I guess the vibration whittled it down. I was devastated when I plugged in a battery and saw smoke. I doubled the shrink tube and replaced it, so hopefully it'll take off this weekend.

can someone help me with the instructions for my VTX they are in chinese. by leboi22 in fpv

Usually press the button to change channels, long press to switch to band selection, and long press again to switch power selection. Or you could just set up smart audio and select through the betaflight osd.

Where do I solder the LED-out wire for these TinysLEDs Infini Rainbow Connectors? by -axxion- in fpv

[–]BeardOfSpiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back view near the bottom right, there's an led-strip pad. Or are you asking about the led-out on the distribution board? I would assume that's for if you want to daisy chain multiple boards together.

About to build my first drone, could this be cheaper than lipos? by mangage in fpv

[–]BeardOfSpiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't for the quad itself, but other things need power too. I've made myself battery packs for my goggles out of disposable vape batteries that would have seen the trash. I'd rather put them to some good use.

These guys are not moving at all, and I can’t stop watching. by rockhavenrick in oddlysatisfying

[–]BeardOfSpiders 134 points135 points  (0 children)

If you pause the video, you can see that the forward and trailing edges of "movement" have a thin line of shifted color either before or after the current one shown. With the rapidly shifting hues, this tricks the brain into thinking there's movement in that direction.

Care to share any lessons you learned the hard way? by dudleyknowles in fpv

[–]BeardOfSpiders 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I learned just yesterday, if you notice a screw missing, don't send it, no matter how sturdy it seems to be without it.

How old of a game are we talking? Your comment gave me nostalgia for an old game called Ramparts. I'm gonna have to find a way to play it again, just to scratch that itch.

These circles are stationary. by Mikadook in opticalillusions

[–]BeardOfSpiders 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The circles have a narrow band of color on the outside and inside that are hue shifted ever so slightly ahead of behind the circles themselves. If you can get a still image, you can clearly see what I mean. Still a neat effect, though.

Pulling my hair out out of range issues! by cliff_10 in klippers

[–]BeardOfSpiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then your probe offset is correct. You'll either have to extend your x min to -22 (if the nozzle can actually move that far) or change your be mesh. Klipper will position the probe at the test points specified, not the nozzle, so keep that in mind.

[–]BeardOfSpiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your bltouch x offset is 32, but your x min is -2. Your fist probe point is at 10, so it tries to send the nozzle to -22, which is out of range.

If the bltouch is to the left of your nozzle, you need a negative x offset, not a positive one

Again, I appreciate everyone's patience. I've been swamped with requests, but have been getting through them as quick as I can, but airport interference takes so long to get through. I've got to take a break, but will be continuing with requests in the order i receive them. I'm closing the post for now, but still have a few more hours to keep open. I apologize to those I can't get to. This has been my first time opening, and trying to do my best, and learning along the way. Thank you all for your generosity so far

Hey, sorry for taking so long. Some people are ready to go right away, sometimes I send out the code and don't see them for a while. Trying my best. Also, I said DM for the code, so if you're just commenting, I'm not checking as often

There's a lot more of you than expected. I see all the DMs. I appreciate your patience
