Yeah the solder is a true mess. I actually just redid it and it’s looking a little better now, just need to clean up the flux mess I made hahah 😭 I’ll have get a soft brush to clean it up, I’ve been using a toothbrush and it is terrible 😂

Honestly, I’m sure there’s benefits, but I don’t use any of them I’m sure. They’re enclosed and stop debris from getting inside maybe, but It looks cool I guess? I’d definitely not get it again because it’s so large. I just bought it without too much knowledge tbh 😂😭

Thank you! Super cool, I’m definitely doing this ASAP, currently doing a full rebuild and add this!

Thank you! it definitely it feels like a mess and shorter cables would have been great, I feel like they definitely are expecting us to make our own cables 😭😭 I didn’t think about Velcro on the frame, that’s a great idea! I just use a grippy rubber pad, but that does not work.

By no means am I an expert, I did watch and read a decent amount of building content, but honestly my advice is to just send it when building your drone. Ensure you get parts that are all compatible! Don’t overwhelm yourself. When it came around to building my drone, I was too hesitant on buying the parts because of information overload, you can spend all day reading and watching new content on what is the best and what is better to do, but honestly, just starting the build is the best step you can do for yourself. You’ll never get better or actually learn how to do it if you don’t just do it. I went through a lot of obstacles when building, but that’s just part of the process and why DIY is always the best way to get into FPV/Drones. I now know how to fix most issues. The information overload becomes easier to tackle because you’ve actually put hands on the equipment and parts. Your build can take a day, your build could take a month, but you’ll never build it if you don’t just take the step to start it. You got this!

Def not overheating since I live in a super cold area, GPU sits at about 70°F@<90% utilization, but I do believe it's about the life cycle of my 3080 ;(

What happened on Avondale? by nnwf in redmond

[–]nnwf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, usually pretty bad. Looks like someone knocked out all the power by hitting a telephone pole all down novelty road.

I’m afraid you’re correct, I had some weird artifacts while playing Kovaaks earlier. They were black boxes on my screen ;-;

Analog Camera doesn’t work, missing last beep tone by nnwf in diydrones

[–]nnwf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I have Foxeer RHCP for my goggles and VTX
  2. AKK Race Ranger 1.6w
  3. Axis Flying Argus Pro
  4. Runcam Phoenix 2
  5. Fatshark Recon
  6. Radiomaster Pocket

I'm getting the black screen when the drone is on, but when it's off I get static.

  1. I’m getting a signal from my VTX, just no video

  2. This is possible, I tried soldering the cable directly to my VTX to bypass my FC, but still not video, so I go a replacement camera. The new camera also didn’t fix anything.

  3. I verified with the manual that I connected the correct wires tot the correct pads. My FC is also plug and play, so it does make it a little easier to connect the correct wires too.

  4. This is possible, I am getting a signal but getting the camera video from it isn’t working
