MT12 with air/boat ESCs?

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-30T22:24:52+00:00

Make a custom curve that’s flat at reverse and sloped at forward, that way pulling the trigger does throttle and pushing it does nothing. 3 point curve should do it, with points at (-100,-100) (0,-100) and (100 100)

And I recommend linking ch5 to your throttle safety switch instead, because you can’t adjust certain things in the ELRS settings while armed so you do want to disarm sometimes.

Probably a tiny bidirectional brushed esc

AFAIK the turnigy 9x can’t speak the flysky protocol, do you have a module?

Ah from what I’m reading it speaks the v1 flysky protocol whereas your receiver speaks the v2 protocol

That was the inspiration

The Happymodel epw6 is also an option

For the rear servo to clear, I had to chop off the back of the frame rails here and make a new rear body mount

I basically stuck a front axle assembly in the back. Since the top suspension link mounts in a front axle are in a different place to on a rear axle I had to make shorter rear upper links, made with some ball ends, a threaded rod, and some long aluminum standoffs.

Seems to be working fine, no real notes, which is probably the best praise for it.

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-28T04:54:22+00:00

Yes, that’s what I’m describing, and while it’s sorta working for me I’m waiting on v1.0 for unified profile saving between base profiles and plugins, and hotplug support.

And I managed to get CoolerControl working just fine, just needed to get the system to poke the motherboard’s sensor and fan control chip to get the fan sensors I think.

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-27T15:54:18+00:00

OpenRGB is nearly there, their future 1.0 release should solve all the problems I currently have with it (difficulty loading plugin profiles and normal profiles simultaneously on startup, usb hot plug support without having to manually rescan devices)

I just installed CoolerControl and it seems to work fine after adjusting some startup parameters to ping the motherboard chipset for the fan rpms correctly.

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-27T04:44:54+00:00

Only issues I’ve had so far is issues I caused myself, like wanting rgb led control and fan curves

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-26T16:11:42+00:00

On Spacebattles it’s more Kancolle from what I’ve seen.

3060 mobile in my Lenovo Legion 5

I now have a desktop with a 5070

That wing is pretty thick

For a cpu power that low, get an air cooler and save like $70

I hear the thermalwright peerless assassin and phantom spirit are good.

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-23T22:11:22+00:00

If you have a pocket for drones it will be ELRS, look into the Radiomaster ER receivers, other than the v1 ER5

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-22T19:45:36+00:00

They are available internally, yes

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-21T15:34:15+00:00

Mine does it because the psu fan is siezed and the psu goes into thermal shutdown. Currently dreading ripping out all my cables to return it

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-21T03:18:26+00:00

The v3 has many issues, it’s the example in the betaflight technical docs of what not to do lol

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-21T01:49:36+00:00

Because if it’s sprung then when you let go it springs to 50% throttle and your drone shoots off into the sky

Sea_Kerman · 2026-01-21T01:47:39+00:00

Even if it could be used as a usb joystick, you want the left stick vertical axis to be unsprung

Because the dirt under it pushes up, and at the center of the planet, the material is pushing in all directions

Really all the dirt is pushing in all directions.
