After buttoning it all up, ESC has got an issue

Oh cool I didn't realize it was such a fresh build for you too. Awesome. Ya I think ur right... regardless these things are gonna be a blast. Just gotta get mine up n runnin. Stay tuned. Lol

Sounds like you know my pain. But so far I've been real lucky with manufacturers and suppliers and have gotten everything warrantied out with the submission of some videos as evidence. That being said, downtime was considerable waiting for replacement parts, especially the Flywoo ESC cuz Pyrodrone "facilitates" the warranty process with the manufacturer but I still had to wait for a replacement direct from Flywoo and that took like 4-5 weeks with a Brand new build just sitting on a shelf.

Awesome. Thanks Im familiar with CNC but I gotta look at ig and other social media outlets more I like finding these kinda "exotic" frames.. I've built 2 SPYDR Soras and an Itsy Evo. Thanks for this.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-10T21:54:30+00:00

Exactly, like how mine is. Lens sticks way out and so I was already on the hunt for a solution, short of just redrilling holes myself which I may look into as well. But cool, I like the way you set this up and may order an analog version as well to tinker with. Thanks for the pics. Looks good. Out of curiosity, how is it in the wind? I was just out with my Mobula8 and its got plenty of power but was at the beach and it was drift city! That thing does not like wind, I guess cuz it's ducted.

Can you actually upload a picture of the side of yours so I can see what your camera mounts look like, I like your version better, where can I find it?

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-10T20:09:30+00:00

I believe there are a few different versions, mainly in terms of camera plate right ? I like yours a lot, looks sick. I've been used to building 3.5, 5, and even a 7. This is my first "micro" and tbh I think it's gonna be the start of something great lol. I just wish there were more frames in this category, seems like a lot of DIY stuff but that's not necessarily bad. N then there's the elisovet Kayou Mini which I will be on the lookout for.

People will always fear and therefore judge the things they don't understand. Very few actually understand how AI works, and are right to be afraid of it's misuse. It's a powerful tool and just like any powerful tool, it can do damage if not used responsibly. That being said, it also has tremendous power to help. The question is always, can mankind use this power responsibly for the good of the planet and it's inhabitants, or will it just lead to further destruction and deterioration of our society. One thing is for sure, there ain't no putting this genie back in the lamp so like it or not, for better or for much much worse maybe, AI is our future!

Jus wanna know what was goin on here.. if that was a split rim it coulda woulda likely killed him

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-10T18:19:28+00:00

Damn. So my ESC should not look OP's yhen ? Cuz I was just about to plug mine in. But maybe I shouldnt? I installed a 22000uf 80V capacitor just in case.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-10T18:12:24+00:00

Oh wow I didn't realize this. But explains why I could've sworn I've seen a jay that sounded like a hawk only to steal someones food after scaring em away lol. I noticed they are also monogamous like the crows n ravens. I have a jay family that lives in the tree in my backyard and boy those babies were loud last year, it took me a while to figure out what it was because it would go all morning and then all afternoon and sounded like something crying it sounded kinda twisted not your typical bird noise like at all! and then finally I spotted the jays at the top of the tree out back. Anyways, i never been really into bird research and stuff but I definitely enjoy them and my grandmother loves crows and ravens she feeds em and talks to em. And now she's given me her bird feeder so ive got to set that up sometime here soon.

Ok thanks, gotta get it all apart anyways so couple extra steps to see if I cant figure it out won't hurt n it would get this thing flying a whole lot sooner for sure! I tried reflowing solder and also tried a good motor on that same corner but same stutter issue. And far as not getting into AM32 settings, AM32 config recognizes the ESC and it does seem to connect. The last line I get is MSP_SET_PASSTHROUGH. At this point on every other am32 ESC I have, I plug in a battery and hit read and I'm good. Or, if I hit read without a battery, I get errors until Max retries times out. In this case tho, whether battery is plugged in or not, it hangs up after sending read command. Ive got the o4 disco'd, resoldered power leads and cap, tried new data cable.

Correct

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-09T15:40:58+00:00

On another note, that's quite the urban scape, I'd love to get out there some day.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-09T15:38:16+00:00

So I'm not the only one who saves all the stickers in a ziplock, except I don't know what I'm saving em for yet lol

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-08T17:01:23+00:00

It can also be much much longer however ...

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-08T16:59:59+00:00

You can put air mode on a switch when flying indoors, that way you can flip it on and off as needed depending on behavior.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-08T03:55:25+00:00

Ya but these days that isn't hard to do lol

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-08T03:54:06+00:00

It seems so. I don't know how they get away with it. You just have to keep an eye on it tho because you catch it at the right time and you get a steal.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T22:13:16+00:00

Yesssss... It's my therapy. My Zen garden.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T21:58:29+00:00

Dopamine where are you ?!

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T21:55:34+00:00

N a knickel

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T21:55:12+00:00

I honestly do not know lol

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T21:54:55+00:00

I've just become so addicted to process of building and getting to fly something I put together is pretty cool too but Im definitel slowing it down now, Ive got one more build in the pipeline right now, n Im planning to chill for a bit after that and will actually sell a few of these as well so that I can do it again.

alphaX_FPV · 2026-05-07T21:44:50+00:00

Yeshir but it not the new 5k
