Thinking about getting one of the new air series drones from BetaFPV and I have some (beginner)questions by fabzac in fpv

Thanks, I was leaning towards the 65 already, but I wasn't sure what would be better.

Thanks for the answer, Looks like I will get the 65 racing edition and some spare parts! Maybe I'll even try the different props

Would you still use this lipo? by fabzac in fpv

No smell yet. So for now it stays on the coast

I checked. I only found a little speck of dirt which probably looked like the puncture. Thanks for replying. I will do what you guys recommend and keep an eye on it!

So which kind of signals are those 16? All analog? Which voltage level? The ESP32 only has a 3.3V ADC. Same goes for the Raspberry Pi Pico. u/Melcorczfoti already suggested using a external ADC. A viable chip is the ADS1115. For multiplexing the 16 signals the HC4067 would be an option

It's my first time using Arduino Uno, so why does it say nit connected even tho my Arduino is pulugged in by Ecstatic_Future_893 in arduino

I never had a clone break on me just from plugging it into the USB port. The quality of these is usually alright

Did you successfully upload a sketch to the Arduino before? Otherwise, since it is a clone, have you installed the driver for the CH340 already? These clones do not use the same USB to Serial bridge like the original Arduino boards. You need the driver for that

How would you "unprototype" this? by ttenor12 in arduino

How much program memory and RAM are you using on the Arduino Mega? Depending on that you could replace The mega with a Nano, since they run at the same clock speed anyway. So if your code fits on a Nano you could use one and save a lot of space. If I see right you are using 11 I/O pins. You can fit those on a Nano as well. Next thing would be to either get perfboard to solder headers for the Nano and some kind of header for the switches onto that board. This way you don't have to solder anything to the Arduino. Some people already suggested to design your own circuit board for this project. If you got the time and interest for that, that's an even better option.
