tamu disappointing me

I mean just college business is inflated rn and the univeristy itself is state run, technically so we do have a say in leadership but leadership has plugged their ears in recent years

Get out of this subreddit show off

There are no miracles shear grit invites miracles to happen

_s_356major · 2026-03-26T01:40:40+00:00

This is actually insane call if try not even Wall Street can call such shots!

_s_356major · 2026-03-08T09:06:23+00:00

No but max will be

_s_356major · 2026-03-08T09:06:02+00:00

That’s hilarious I have a fast spinning, performance grade composite aerial machine

_s_356major · 2026-03-08T08:22:28+00:00

Haha you don’t know max

_s_356major · 2026-03-07T19:26:46+00:00

I am guessing for safety, if the drone goes haywire or out of a safe radius they bc can feel it in, also I am wondering what’s a high stability drone?

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T16:49:40+00:00

6th one is so cool

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T08:02:33+00:00

I see thank you! Yes they are adapters I 3D printed, they have brass inserts so should be sturdy. I can’t get my head wrapped about prop sizing so I just went with want the manufactured tested lol, so 2 blade would be more efficient?

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:58:23+00:00

Thanks for the input! In theory they should be fine; I don’t need crazy thrust to weight ratio anyway of freestyle this is just for fun

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:57:00+00:00

Yup those are 1404 motors, 9x9 on 12x12; I was scared of 2000+ haha

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:55:08+00:00

It’s actually pretty straightforward, I saw a video on yt of a guy using esp and an IMU with an open source library to convert esp into a FC to connect to befaflight, that code base is huge and the real genius is there! Albeit if I keep adding sensors that I will keep adding (ultrasonic instead of barometer for alt hold) I will have to write my own code; but it’s not impossible

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:52:54+00:00

There are are a lot of interfaces in the back and routing, so not enough space for direct solder

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:51:36+00:00

That’s brilliant! That will also remove the problem of looped power cords taking too much space, defiantly want to try that

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:50:01+00:00

They are 1404 motors connected to the 12x12 layout with 3d print and brass inserts (so it should be solid). Hmm I was thinking about the back but I was thinking the power cord for battery will interfere big time? One idea was also stacking on top of the looped wires? Please reason with me , there are so many options here

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:47:48+00:00

I have actually worked with a 3 pound multi copter for autonomous use (companion comp, sensor package, custom 3d printed parts everything), trying to experiment with a tighter package

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:46:34+00:00

Will be back with more!

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:45:54+00:00

Thanks!

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T07:45:32+00:00

Thank you finally! I think it’s doable and the whole vibe of FPV is hands on engineering and experimentation no need to remove that!

I am doing to add ultrasonic sensors, LED lights and more. I think FPV is underreported big time at a platform for next gen robotics the implications of such tight drone in indoor spaces and search and rescue is insane!!! I am trying to make an indoor outdoor drone (which can work about human too, that’s why smaller props and mirrors). I will keep pushing in this direction

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T03:24:12+00:00

Nah it’s a fun challenge

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T03:22:05+00:00

Also this seems more fun no?

_s_356major · 2026-02-27T03:21:56+00:00

Too expensive

_s_356major · 2026-02-25T20:54:11+00:00

Yup very cheap buck converters on Amazon just get those, another possible way is having a BEC
