Assuming FN-2187 is piloting one of them I don't see why not... Also maybe rf or other control link interference but should be good, let us know how the battle concludes.

Yah honestly have barely dug into the code despite somewhat understanding some of it :). I just happened to also have this problem before where I burnt off one of my motor pads and had to get one of the other outputs to act as a motor output so lesson learned the hard way on how to get resource...

It sounds a bit like a prop slipping to me would make sure to crank down your props hard to tell from the vid though I see the bounces in the nose when blipping the throttle. Also if somewhat sporadic yaw kicks maybe loosen up the screws on the FC.

It looks to me like the signal wire for motor 1 and 4 are going to motor 4 based on the betaflight diagram Motors are numbered as follows in the diagram: one is front left motor two is front right three is back right four is back left. So couple of problems, the sliders aren't controlling the...

Have had moderate success with these BN-880 modules for GPS/compass added to some betaflight quads. All they can do with it is point home, tell distance, get speed, and if failsafe will attempt to return towards take off point after ascending, but I still need to test out all the failsafe setup.

Just about all the ESCs I've encountered will accept a "servo signal" or 50hz PWM pulses with a width of 1000-2000 us or 1.0-2.0ms, that's to say you can hook them up directly to the output of a receiver that gives PWM signals for controlling servos and have it also control an ESC so can skip...

From what I've seen UPenn engineering puts out a lot of these public demonstrations using quads to do useful engineering type things, really applying the science, I think most of this stuff is still in the realm of academia. Universities have the budget and can throw a bunch of graduate...

Yup if the 5V regulator can put out enough current to cook a given wire or component then 5V can be enough to cook something. Lets say 5V 1.5A regulator is able to deliver more current for a brief period it might up the amps to lets say 2A then 10W of power is available to bleed off as heat or...

Maybe NSFW but fun example of the similar quality of code I write and style :D

Those actually use computer vision to track those little balls on the quads they are infrared reflective (usually) and use cameras that filter out other light and just see the glowing balls moving around, they use multiple cameras to effectively triangulate the position of the quad in the room...

@aloneseeker yah would suggest double check firmware version like @Dugdog47 said very likely has the wrong target flashed to it and so doesn't have the pins mapped correctly, on newer version of BF after flashing it will ask to apply a config on first reboot of the FC and connection you should...

Yah hard to say, if you haven't tossed it already keep the broken one you could always just get some thin plexiglass from hardware store and can probably cut to size with an exacto knife and patience/time.

If can share black box logs and/or video can often be helpful in catching someone's eye on what could be going wrong. In general oscillations are a sign of some PID tuning that is out of whack and/or the mounting of FC is too soft or too stiff (can cause problems either way). You want FC to...

Sure just depends on how it's sealed in there but some amount of heat from a heat gun or hot air rework station or even a hair dryer can usually get most adhesives to start breaking down and then can slowly pry things apart (if finding hidden screws isn't the answer). For the little security...

oooo gotcha gotcha yah I did miss the conversion up front that does leave a pretty healthy budget

Which thing is $427 that you are referencing? the Emax kit here from that amazon link shows as $220 to me and should be somewhere in that ballpark from other vendors as well. --- If talking DJI gear then yes it is premium price and good stuff but holy cow it is premium price for sure.

For reference too, I got those DJI goggles when on sale for Fathers Day with two air units and was like $800 (pretty sure regular price is cheaper than that now but still not cheap :D) https://store.dji.com/category/dji-fpv?site=brandsite&from=buy_now_bar

Yah see that doesn't include the actual transmitter/controller or goggles though says they are "optional" and optional like $1K I'm guessing, try adding that in and see. The quad itself is around $200 so that seems right, the transmitter is usually around $100-200 ballpark I'm a big fan of my...

Basically the cost is going to depend entirely on which goggles you go with you're going to need to do some research to see what's right for you. I would suggest anyone with the cash pony up for the DJI digital system because the quality is a leap ahead of any analog system but that immediately...

Yah just fly for fun really, I usually pick one or two flights out of a day of flying (maybe 5 or 6 flights if lucky) and just upload to YouTube to share with friends and newbies alike :). Also fun looking back over time to see how horrible I was and some progression. Originally got into this...
