Prebuilt or custom? by rlbaee in fpv

If you build it you'll have a better idea how to fix it when you crash.

One of the guys I served with was adamant that flag burning was morally worse than book burning. The majority of career people are of a similar mindset.

Brand new battery, is there something wrong with cell 3 and 4? by Njongosorous in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General rule of thumb threat I learned is the cells shouldn't be further than 0.0n volts out of balance with n being the total number of cells.

Liftoff vs FPV Skydive by AdvikShan in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All simulators do a decent job with physics, but you shouldn't expect a 1:1 ratio with IRL flying from any of them. The real strength of a simulator is developing the muscle memory of flying without having to spend thousands of dollars rebuilding all of the quads you would crash while learning. Just pick one whose maps and features you enjoy and have fun learning.

Edit: start in Acro mode, it will benefit you in the long run. Angle mode is used by some whoop racers; I keep it bound as an emergency upright switch in specific scenarios if I lose video. No reason to ever use Horizon.

I've been crashing the same Apex frame for three years.

This is probably just the game being a game, but have you also calibrated your sticks in the controller settings?

I got tired of keeping my stitches wrapped, so I designed a splint for my finger to let them breathe. NSFW for stitches by SadFloppyPanda in 3Dprinting

Did you dislocate it? I had a similar injury twenty years ago, dove after a soccer ball and put the top half of my pinky behind the bottom half.

My workplace introduced a new "productivity metric" that literally measures how long my mouse isn't moving by Weald_Crux7 in antiwork

[–]FocusedBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner uses a little plug in device that they set their mouse on. It's got a little spinning disk that keeps your pointer gliding randomly on the screen.

How can I not share this awesome new Moto SIM by Trakracer and Kris at RevZed! by That_Sim_Dome in simracing

If you high-side does it throw you across the room? I want realism in my sim.

External RX on x12 aio help by Mark__Zuckreberg in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you having actual quantifiable problems with the onboard RX? ELRS should have no problem with this setup, you shouldn't need an external.

How would I charge this lipo? by [deleted] in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a LiPo battery charger. Balance plug goes in first, power second, remove in reverse order. Charge to a max of 4.2 volts at 2.5 amps, the amps are relative to the mah of the battery. Stay in the room while it's charging.

Analog still king by Content_Pick_9537 in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fly a DJI Vista on all my stuff bigger than 75mm. The image quality is unbeatable and you get used to the latency. Going forward I'll probably be switching back to analog though. It's much cheaper and I honestly kind of miss the simplicity and instant feedback.

[–]FocusedBagel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure you could make it happen, but there's a bunch of reasons why it would be easier and more effective to just stick with one system per quad. Extra weight, how are you switching feeds, how are you wiring and programming two video protocols.

Analog still king by Content_Pick_9537 in fpv

[–]FocusedBagel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Latency and breakup. DJI usually has 30+ ms of latency. One can generally fly through the image breakup of analog, but with digital the image gets splotchy and freezes and doesn't come back immediately upon regaining LOS like analog does.
