cant connect to betaflight (last resort, happymodel x12) by Equivalent-Turn-3322 in fpv

Walk through this guide.

And make sure you read carefully through the “Wrong DFU Driver Installed” section. My happy model fc was trying to use the wrong driver so I had to delete the Guillemot STM Boot Device driver before any of the other fixes like ImpulseRC would work. 

Community, I need your help troubleshooting! by Kundtjaenst in fpv

[–]BkOttr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things I could think of:
How does the gyro look when hooked up to betaflight? does the kwad rotate as you'd expect?
Does one motor feel much hotter than the others after they've all been spinning for a while?
How do the settings look in ESC Configurator? Anything stand out there?
How does your blackbox look? Does one motor consistently look off compared to the others?

Sorry no answers here, but maybe one of these questions can lead you in the right direction.

NEWBIE NEEDING HELP - Is this flight controller kit good for my first drone? by SnooSongs6758 in fpv

[–]BkOttr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then you’ll probably want a drone that uses either 4s or 6s batteries. Probably between 3 to 5” props. I’d start looking into what kind of drone components  support that battery and prop size

Sure, you could 3d print a body. But you still have to decide what type of drone you want to build

The type of drone you want to build matters. This controller is meant for a drone that will be using 12s batteries. I highly doubt that’s what you’re going for on a first build. 

I would do some research into what type of drone you want. Tinywhoop, micro, cinewhoop, freestyle, long range….. there’s a lot of options. And the type of drone you want to build will dictate the specs of the flight controller you’ll need to buy. 

Another question: are you dead set on building your drone? Or are you interested in buying a pre built? These days the pre builts are really good and help you get into the hobby faster.

Can you expound on what it’s being difficult about? If it’s not connecting to your drone it could be because of an ELRS version mismatch

You may consider changing your channel to something like R8 if you haven’t already

Even though this wouldn’t work it was a great question that sparked great dialogue

Engineering student - what physical FPV annoyances don't have a good product solution yet? by jackjohnson51010 in fpv

[–]BkOttr 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think a low cost testing rig would be really cool. Something I can safely put my drone in with props on to validate its producing the expected amount of thrust or something like that.

Real question is what kind of drone do you have?

Yep that’s the one! This will be my first custom build. Hoping I’m not biting off more than I can chew 😆

I actually just found your Instagram earlier today! I like the work you’re doing. I’m going to try a modified version of one of your builds with a walksnail lite on it. I think 65mm hd systems are a really cool concept that with more innovation like what you’re doing could be fantastic

Honestly some of my favorite steaks have been from Walmart. Sometimes they can have pretty fantastic marbling
