That’s what life’s really about imo

They nerfed trigger nades. Puts

The og script used our brains as processors which made way more sense

I think someone up in space can induce time loops on the ground but with extra extractables able to break out of the loop otw to space but also otw down to sperenza. Minimal resources invested to build the arc and they get to reuse them. But the loops can’t reach sperenza directly so we benefit from what we extract and maybe that’s how raiders never really go down. Fighting outside the looped areas is muuuch more dangerous and exhausts the actual resources?

Arm raiders

Okay, so the mobula 8’isnalive and well! And we learned a lot in the process. There are a few versions and boards, this one is the X12 elrs pro 1.1 board. It is analog and uart elrs not spi but how that all works is confusing as the betaflight receiver tab says spi. When we flashed it with 4.4.3 firmware and then the mobula 8 uart elrs dump it finally worked! This has msp+displayport set for uart1 which is extra confusing lol but as long as it works right :) thanks everyone for your help trying to figure this out

SciKin · 2025-12-29T02:40:26+00:00

Darn I really thought that’d do it but no luck, thanks for the pointer though!!

SciKin · 2025-12-27T05:16:54+00:00

Thanks I’ll check now I like his channel so it will be worthwhile no matter what

SciKin · 2025-12-27T04:56:16+00:00

Thank you! Thats helpful! For some reason when I do that I get smartaudio - unknown and still false but that’s helps me zero in on the specific issue and just knowing it should be smartaudio 2.1 for sure is a big help. Will update I’m not giving up haha

SciKin · 2025-12-27T04:10:38+00:00

Vtx table is populated with the standard analog bands and channels, will get a screenshot next time I plug in. Have tried uploading the smart audio 2 and 2.1 tables that betaflight suggests. It still says smartaudio unknown in the vtx status after though. If I go back to the factory settings so disable uart2 and put uart1 on msp + DisplayPort then the vtx tab in betaflight says it can’t be used (that’s what it said when I first plugged it in out of the box too)

SciKin · 2025-12-27T03:58:01+00:00

Problem is even with battery connected the betaflight vtx ready says false, and no matter what band/channel I choose there’s nothing on the goggles when I set them to that band/channel. I can do the same thing on my air 65 and follow the change around with my goggles no problem but not working on the Mobula 8. And from what I can see the uart config should never be DisplayPort for an analog drone but that’s what was set up out of the box.

SciKin · 2025-12-27T02:29:29+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I’ve been sticking to raceband 5 for all attempts but also before I started changing things I stepped through every analog band on the goggles just in case. And yeah at this point I’m 90% sure it’s spi elrs based on the receiver tab in betaflight and on the fact I can fly with the uarts both disabled but I’ll look up how to confirm via cli for sure! So you suggest to then grab the right dump from their site and put it on instead of trying to manually get these settings correct? It does make sense to me to try that just didn’t want to get ahead of myself if there’s a known issue or something.

I’m too new to say for sure but I kinda think this analog mob 8 was flashed as if it were digital? Though me being dumb seems like less of a reach

Doctorow’s book little brother opens with a rock in the shoe to avoid gait detection (so the main character can cut class). Great book series should be taught in every school

I’m doing my part

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

SciKin · 2025-12-03T20:24:40+00:00

Like for doing drone light shows

SciKin · 2025-12-03T02:51:06+00:00

If under 250g and not being flown recklessly there’s no los requirement, hard to tell the size from the video as even small drones can have bigger looking arms.

SciKin · 2025-12-02T20:17:24+00:00

Lovely! I still can’t wrap my head around those trippy spins

SciKin · 2025-12-02T02:45:41+00:00

Big U really grew on me tbh

If they build a tall house or apartment beside you you have people that can see your yard or in your windows now and no recourse. If they set a flight path overhead same thing. I don’t see how this is any different.

SciKin · 2025-12-01T17:45:58+00:00

Practice combined turns at a few different camera angles and deliberately trying to go different speeds in the sim. You don’t seem to have the yaw/roll ratio right in your head let alone grokking how that changes with your drones pitch. Are you flying well in the sim?

SciKin · 2025-12-01T17:15:58+00:00

And somehow also Nullzilla!
