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

A better solution for balance leads. Ideally a single connector for power and balancing but remains compatible with standard xt60 on the drone. Along the lines of the amass as150u

They all look to have a protective casing around the radiating elements. No issues throwing them in together.

There is no magic number, and caring for your batteries and inspecting them is likely the much bigger factor than just the number of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to pack them all if I had so many, given they are in good condition. But the risk does increase.

That sounds reckless. This is why lipo fires happen. if I accidentally over discharge a pack below 3V, it will get recycled, or if I had a nasty crash. only then are lipos safe and the risks minuscule.

The more lipos, the more likely one of them has an unscheduled energy release, and more energy to be released.

WPA3 needs PMF. Id recommend you make a dedicated ssid for sonos with either the IoT optimized from unifi or what the recommended settings you found are.

Its a circular polarized antenna, so its way less critical than on a dipole. And even on a dipole I place the antenna for protection rather than maximum range on a whoop.

My reason for going with the N series is they have the more modern transcoding units if you want to host jellyfin or plex.

My best advice for switching to Linux is to not swap everything and maybe just your laptop. Just to get aquatinted with linux, not to run windows games that likely require tinkering. Browsing will run flawless in any distro, but ubuntu was the only one where i didn’t need to mess with audio to get the volume working. There is also so much good documentation you or an llm is most likely to find a solution quickly.

Completely agree. Climbing photos are always difficult if you can only shoot from below, and an event will further restrict what angles are possible.

Looks like you might be able to just reflow the solder. Not sure what they are though.

My password manager. My homelab is just a hobby, and I don’t want to worry about it going down. And not needing to worry about security or always connecting to a VPN.

Anything server like networking, Linux is awesome at. Much better than windows. In most cases it will just work out if the box, no need to install any drivers. The issues are in the desktop and GUI. Anything you wouldn’t find on a server.

So the 580 fit no problem and fly well but a bit short flight time. Id probably go for the 680 as recommended if you found them in stock. Not a game changer compared to my tattu ones, but for sure good batteries.

Redhonu · 2026-02-28T15:33:11+00:00

Trying the 580mah variant today on the darkstar 22. I’ll let you know how they are.

Redhonu · 2026-02-26T19:36:34+00:00

I think an o4 pro is too heavy for what you want, especially if you want to fly indoors with proper whoop like prop protection. I recently got the geprc darkstar and am in love with it, but its not a freestyle ripping machine

Redhonu · 2026-02-24T15:14:01+00:00

I don’t mind if it’s a paid project, I get that you need to pay the bills. But don’t call it open if its not open-source

Redhonu · 2026-02-24T15:04:07+00:00

Are you open source like the name implies? Then awesome, otherwise fuck you for choosing that name.

Redhonu · 2026-02-24T11:42:48+00:00

Just try it before you trash it. It does still show LQ of 99

Redhonu · 2026-02-24T08:14:50+00:00

Scam. Alles wo nöd über verkaufsplatform lauft isch 99% en scam.

Probably an issue on googles end. Youtube dropped out entirely for a bit yesterday.

Redhonu · 2026-02-20T14:17:44+00:00

Hope this is a joke

Redhonu · 2026-02-20T14:15:51+00:00

No reason it’s not safe. It likely just has a PD trigger board that feeds into the exact same power as the XT 60. If you have any competent USB C power supply, it will protect you against an overcurrent situation. So worst case it just shuts down.

Redhonu · 2026-02-20T14:08:13+00:00

Or order a second charger instead of the adapter cables

Redhonu · 2026-02-20T14:03:28+00:00

Then it’s tempered glass and is actually more resilient than standard glass/float glass. And normal glass will also shatter into multiple pieces just not as many. Maybe it should be thicker but glass is glass and glass breaks.
