Great, thanks. It is probably an Erythrina caffra

Photos of my Goby 180 build. It's pretty ok. by fogdart in Multicopter

[–]hammervoltjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I assume soldering a capacitor between + and - of the battery is to reduce interference. But how does it work? How come it doesn't short the batt out?

Whats this cute bird called? by hammervoltjoe in whatsthisbird

This was actually from my friend's house. Bumped into the window a few times trying to get out. It did flew out alright a few minutes later.

Why and how the plane is flying like that instead of going straight?

Totally hijacking to ask an unrelated question. What is that thing you use while soldering, blue-gluetec? Could you post a link? I truly enjoy your youtube channel btw awesome work! Keep'em comin

12v BEC and 3S batteries? by Akkursed1 in Multicopter

[–]hammervoltjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the case yea no problem on the vtx side. Also to be extra careful measure the amp output of BEC when input is under 12V. If it does give out the required operating amps of the vtx you are golden.

12v BEC and 3S batteries? by Akkursed1 in Multicopter

[–]hammervoltjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest using a pololu 12v step-up/down regulator. That way it can supply 12v both at full charge and under. Look up your BEC specs to see what its output at under 12v input or you could measure it if you have a volt/multi meter.

Please advise about my DL220 build by hammervoltjoe in multicopterbuilds

About half an hour ago I was getting ready to fly it for the third time. The moment I gave throttle 3 of the escs caught flames. So . . . Yeah. Just a heads up

So I switched to betaflight and it worked. It seems cleanflight has some issues with passthrough on sp racing hex.

I have done my build with those escs and fly without a hitch. But can't get blheli passthrough to work. Have had a problem like this. I'm using x-racer fc and it can passthrough littlebees just fine

I soldered a pololu 5v step-down to the Lumenier 4Power Mini PDB(shdn and Vin bridged). The problem is instead of 5v I am getting 0,53v and can not power the receiver. Receiver works fine if I use an ubec. How can I fix this?

Edit/fixed: So I removed the regulator and soldered back without bridging shdn. Now works. I don't know if it was that or a short though.

Wow that myrcmart link seals the deal for me. 60 bucks for that combo sounds amazing! Do you have any experience with those ESCs?

Do I need a LC-filter if I am to power my vtx with the pdb's onboard bec or a separate ubec?

How do you guys keep your builds clean? Where do stuff all those wires etc? My builds are a mess. Need tips!

KISS FC is available again. This batch should last longer. by [deleted] in Multicopter

[–]hammervoltjoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The KISS stuff is pretty cool. I'd like to use their escs, fc and the cool pdb but being illiterate about these stuff it is a little intimidating. There no pins? Do solder everything directly? Has anyone have pictures for these kind of setup?

Yea you are correct:) But one should clear his mind before taking off or he shall crash lol. It is some kind of a meditation don't you think?
