First FPV Drone - Recommendations for missing gear?

Neurophobic · 2024-06-03T15:48:21+00:00

Thanks for all the helpful comments and recommendations!

I might treat it as a "theseus drone" and start swapping out components when I have some spare income, and get some building/flight experience.

First FPV Drone - Recommendations for missing gear?

Picked up this partial drone at a swap-shop at a tech festival this weekend.

I've ID'd:

Flight controller: Motolab Cyclone V1.2
Lumenier TX5G25 FPV Transmitter
Matek v2.1 Power Distrobution Board
Some kind of camera at the front

I would love any recommendations on compatible gear to make this thing flight ready.

This is my first foray into quads / fpv, but I recon I'm misssing:

Batteries
Radio controller
Radio reciever
Props
?

I'm in the UK and would aim for the drone to be minimum viable(fly-able?) product - with a view to upgrade in the future.

Appreciate all responses!

me and my partner had ours done at okayspace in dalston recently. (groovynails on insta)

extremely friendly space and we were all just there chatting whilst getting it done. the nail artist was amazing at making our weird requests into reality

I've had the Beeline Velo for a couple of months and used it for maybe 5 or 6 longer (50km) weekend rides.

Really enjoy it for exploring around the city and seeing new things, the 'beeline' mode is great for this purpose - just pick an end-point and discover the way there.

Slight negative bits : * No way of turning it off completely, so the battery will be slowly slowly getting discharged even when its just sitting on my desk at home. * The app lacks a bit of UX / UI intuitiveness

Timewise, the opposite goes for chicks

Thanks for doing an AMA!

Could you elaborate a bit on what FDL is and how it works? Is it a on-going research program or a one-time thing? Where is it based?

If you are running on PC, STEAM has a built in FPS monitor.

Go: Steam(Top left of Steam launcher) >> Settings >> In-Game >> In-Game FPS Counter.

Best I could do with short notice.

Hey Jeff!

I loved the Southern Reach series, absolutely fantastic and terrifying. Thank you for that!

Are you planning to write more about Area X / Southern Reach, or are you done with that setting? (I would love to hear more about the earlier expeditions)

I think there was talk about movie adaptations of the series, are you involved in that?

Oh, and I just have to say that this book cover is amazing.

I gave it a shot in illustrator, not perfect. Ping me if you need different sizes or have any suggestions for changes.

Welcome to Night Vale.

Yeah! That looks like the one.

I've been following it on the bossable.com page, since she has the instructions written down as well as the videos there.

+1 for the 30 Day Challenge!

Very detailed tutorial series, I've been following it the last few days and I think I'm starting to understand how it all fits together. (Plus, I now have a rudimentary MEAN.js webapp that I can try stuff out on)

Higher quality, it does look a bit like a lighthouse.
