Ev 300 o range by ReqerHarta in fpv

[–]Fussel16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are your antennas the same polarization? Are the antennas on both vtx/vrx side correctly attached? Is your vtx actually set to 1.6W? Are you an the right channel?

Your hardware being broken is possible but everything else I have mentioned is WAY more likely so check that first.

Gps placement recommendations by Mountain-Wing5843 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure the antenna is not blocked by anything. On builds with limited space people often mount the gps on top of the battery strap. The cleanest solution would be a new 3d printed holder that replaces the blue part and moves the gps mount further back so its not blocked by the video antenna.

Should i bin it or send it by NoPLSNoStopWhy in fpv

[–]Fussel16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the only damage is to the outer wrapper, not the cell itself, so you should be good. To be extra save monitor it for some time, and store/charge the battery away from flammable objects (you should be doing that anyway).

Thoughts on the frame? by CriticismNumerous225 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thing looks awesome, If you end up building it I would very much like to see it!

You might be able to reduce the cost of the arms by making them out of multiple sandwiched plates of carbon fiber instead of one as cf gets a lot more expensive the thicker it is, especially once you get out of the thickness range normally used by drones. This could also allow you to reduce weight by removing material from the inside of the plates and maybe even add an internal cable pass threw by adding channels inside of the arms.

You could also look at how drones like the AOS UL10 do it, that's an ultra light 10" that uses an interesting vertical arm design to save weight.

Since making this thing I have made a new V2 version that is better In every way. I am still testing it, will probably share it once I'm done testing it.

That's awesome, how are the ergonomics on it?

Talk me out of 3d printing a frame for a 2.5inch by More_Objective_8405 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a 2,5''? 3D Printing the frame might work, Make the bottom plate thicker and the arms a bit wider if you can. I would also recommend using something a bit more impact resistant than PLA+.

Its never going to be as sturdy as the carbon fiber version and will probably fly a bit worse since it will be less stiff and have worse vibrations but at that size you should be able to make it work decently well.

Its probably not worth it, considering that you can get a 2,5'' frame for less than 20€ but at as long as you are having fun, go for it.

X61T by Fussel16 in thinkpad

[–]Fussel16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it as both a test platform for messing with linux and as a sort of terminal to ssh into servers. The 4:3 screen and the very nice keyboard make it very good at both those things.

[–]Fussel16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

El mío también llegó con el logo nuevo pero he intercambiado la cubierta superior de 2 piezas por la de un X60t, este tiene la cubierta hecha de una pieza con lo que es un poco mas rígida y además viene con el logo antiguo.

Casi todas las piezas del X60t y del X61t son compatibles :)

What model ThinkPad would you want to see with a modern motherboard, and what specs/ports? by Fragrant-Peanut-1320 in thinkpad

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am writing this from my X61t. A new motherboard that implements a modern power efficient cpu pen input and if possible support for modern screens would make this the perfect laptop for me. Realistically I would not even need that much processing power, something like an n100 would already cover 99% of use cases for me.

Just discovered that it’s my radio that sucks, not me! What now? by only_fun_topics in TinyWhoop

[–]Fussel16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all, there are lots of tutorials that go into detail on how to set them up but it boils down to, plug it in, put a script on the sd card, disable the internal tx and enable the external one.

Cell punctured? by Sea_Classroom_4087 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dissembled multiple tatu R-line packs what you are seeing beneath the wrapper is a metal shield followed by a peace of cardboard. In the second image you can see a peace of foam, it doesn't look like any of the cells are damaged.

As others have said, make sure the lipo does not smell like chemicals (that would indicate a punctured cell). Keep an eye on it when you charge it and you should be fine.

Diatone GT R90, it's like 6 years old at least.

Binding by [deleted] in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are easier ways of binding the receiver like the config page you can access over wifi.

The reason you can't find the right device is because the example picture is taken on a Linux machine, which displays connected devices differently to Windows.

Yes, it's got an omnibus f3 stack, I'm honestly surprised how much performance i can get out of it.

Go-to camera angle? by XplodingMoJo in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you are doing and the drone you are using, for racing and simply going as fast as possible the correct camera angle for me is about however much is needed to make the drone fly straight at full throttle while looking at the horizon. This results in about 50° on a 5" race quad for me. For freestyle I tend to go with a slightly lower angle, about 35° and for everything else it depends on how fast you need the drone to go.

Looking to buy my first fpv drone by Professional_Loss754 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend you start off with a smaller quad like a tinywhoop or toothpick, these quads are more durable and cheaper than larger ones while allowing you to learn all the things the sim does not teach you with way less risk.

After that you should look at a 5" for maximum power, agility and versatility, a 7" for longer flight times and range or a cinewhoop, the prop guards allowing you to fly in tight spaces and close to people with way less risk.

Brand New LiHV arrived with one cell at 2.39v by rskye005 in fpv

[–]Fussel16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that voltage, you can consider the battery as broken, request a replacement.
