    2nd build=confusion

    Ah yah sorry not sure with CF either only used BF a lot but know BF was fork of CF didn't really know CF continued development though since most pilots I think switched over to BF

    2nd build=confusion

    If you're have option of saving blackbox logs do that and dump them here after trying to arm the logs should say why it's not arming

    2nd build=confusion

    In the modes tab did you make sure a switch is set to control arming? Also it won't arm if usb is hooked up or throttle above 0

    First Build sort off

    There's only one man that would dare give me the raspberry! You may need to check out your filter settings to see if your getting the bleep the sweeps and the creeps, or get some betaflight black box log to get more info on what the quad was experiencing when things went haywire.

    2nd build=confusion

    Suggest contact getfpv support try to get a live chat going with them to see if they can help you with the issues. Want to break things down to take them on one by one, I'd start with the firmware flashing since ideally first thing to do before setup but you need to select the correct target...

    Difficult to fly in pilot sight of view or FPV

    You gotta get a simulator would be my advice, personally a fan of lift-off or velocidrone, fpvfreerider is okay but not as accurate IMO but nice for something can install on mobile and play with otg cable and my TX so that's cool. I was pretty good at los and tried fpv and was lost like you...

    Can't parallel charge with ToolkitRC m8

    I use this box/setup for charging all my lipo stuff from 1S for tiny whoops to 5S for half my esk8 battery, when doing two 5S 5Ah in parallel I max out the wattage on the charger itself but otherwise can juice things up at 1C no problem occasionally will do like 1.5C or up to 2C if in a rush and...

    Here's what my parallel charge setup looks like:

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    If motor direction right only other thing I can think of is it just doesn't have the thrust for the weight on there, if that's the case could try lighter battery but same voltage so lower mah capacity or can try bigger props or props with more blades. Increasing prop size gets more thrust per...

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    Thanks for posting the vid. Also I think it's awesome just for the record, all for the diy builds and learning how it all works from scratch so think the wood frame is sweet looking though it is going to have a hard time dealing with crashes should be pretty easy to fix as well tape+wood glue or...

    Erle Brain 1.1 hardware docs/schematics?

    Oh yah if just looking to tinker on the board then all good just wouldn't expect to get it all flying again given stuff gets dated quick and out of support... Regarding the board if take some pics of the chips can usually zoom in and see what you're dealing with, platformIO plugin for vscode can...

    Help, drone with a mind of its own

    Need a lot more detail to make any good guesses, what model quad is it links ideally or images or links to images/video+model numbers. Generically speaking can check the mounting of the flight controller and see if it is too loose and shaking around or too tight and getting vibrations from...

    Erle Brain 1.1 hardware docs/schematics?

    Depending on how much you value time I'd say it's not worth trying to recover that, things have gotten cheaper/better in short order in the quadcopter world and STM32 processors have gotten better where they are still very low power consumption but fully capable ARM processors that are used in...

    Can't parallel charge with ToolkitRC m8

    Couple of things to check. First off make sure each battery is pretty close to the same voltage when hooked up to the parallel charge board, they should be within something like .1V per cell away from each other or around .4V max between two 4S batteries, .6V should be fine but wouldn't push...

    Motors not spin

    Also just FYI the F3 boards are getting a bit long in the tooth now, they can work still but the UARTs on them are a bit more fixed with regard to what functions they can serve (some components may send inverted signals where low is 1 and high is 0, or using higher baud rates than a given UART...

    Motors not spin

    Yah very likely the latter, problem between receiver and FC regarding the not seeing values in the receiver tab of BF configurator. Hooking up receivers is notoriously difficult, it can go smoothly but is one of those places nearly everyone gets hung up at some point because of some...

    Add BN-880 module

    Thanks. Yup I have put one of these on my hexacopter build since hope for that is to eventually get it setup to do long range stuff with iNav, but I figure nice to have some sort of location info and potential return to home option on my 5" ones too so can use them to do some more exploratory...

    Controlling drone with Xbox controller

    Yes it's possible. I would argue it's not a good idea though, the existing transmitters for flying things generally don't have the left stick/gimbal automatically re-center with a spring load like the xbox joysticks do. With quads 0 throttle is stick all the way down unless you are flying 3d...

    That is a great scene thanks!

    Propel Star Wars Drones - Battle Mode

    I mean if you have an x-wing luke can certainly pilot it, I believe Leia rode one of the speeders so that might be canon :)
