    LiPo Battery Repair and Puncture Tests - Proceed with caution...

    ^^ this is almost always my strategy as well when it comes to these small packs it isn't worth the time/effort/stress/potential damage to my stuff and me. If it is a minor issue like balance lead is slightly broken or scar in the discharge lead I will patch things and move on but if a cell is...

    Wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver. No kidding!

    Also also, just throwing a few more out there since not things I was aware existed until a few years ago, you can get network over power lines where you get better than wireless transmission by sending data through your power lines in a house and having intelligent little decoders on the end...

    Wireless HDMI transmitter and receiver. No kidding!

    Check out the one star reviews for the failings :D I'm sure it sort of works in limited scenarios if the environment/conditions are just right, but doing HD wireless transmission and getting any sort of range and consistency of signal isn't easy (especially with our quads and other mobile stuff...

    LiPo Battery Repair and Puncture Tests - Proceed with caution...

    Not sure if it made a difference or how much of a difference but when cells are cold they have lower discharge rate and will in general react less. I was listening to something about cell recycling the other day and the technique they use is to get the cells very cold first before mashing in a...

    Motors vibrating/wobbling, balancing issue ?

    Yah it looks too wobbly for my liking too agree with you there. Wondering what plastic and settings (mainly infill) you used. Also agree probably imbalance in the prop or motor contributing to the resonating. Believe this is called frame resonance broadly. I guess options are pick more rigid...

    FPV google display black screen after play a while without power on

    Sounds like your cam didn't power up for some reason or the vid signal from cam to vtx was momentarily dead... In general I power up tx before rx for control link, so transmitter in hands on before powering up quad so it is basically immediately getting control signals but for goggles can do...

    Couple vids from today

    Thanks, agree proximity is more fun but I did my best DJI (non-fpv) impression there filming the road and the city skyline from a distance for like 30 seconds :D The best clip where I actually cleanly power looped that thing a couple of times got super corrupted. Found out I need to really hit...

    Motors going crazy

    Can arm just to check arming is working btw but wouldn't expect constant motor speed then since PID loop is active.

    Motors going crazy

    This is common and expected. Don't use arm switch to run the motors on the bench if expecting constant motor speed use the sliders in the ui to send specific throttle to each esc. When arming the PID loop kicks in and tries to use the thrust from each output or esc/motor/prop to get the thing...

    tinyhawk s binding issues

    One other thing is check the antenna going to the aio board make sure nothing got severed or broken on the antenna.

    tinyhawk s binding issues

    Hard to say but I'd look into just getting a separate small receiver and patching the signal from that into the aio FC as last ditch effort if the seller or mfg can't offer support options

    FRSky ACCESS Transmitter with ACCST Receiver?

    Good discussion about it here too and in the comments: https://oscarliang.com/frsky-access-protocol/#:~:text=Backward%20Hardware%20Compatibility&text=However%20you%20would%20have%20to,Taranis%20X9D%2B%202019 I've personally stuck with spektrum satellite receivers for most of my things but...

    FRSky ACCESS Transmitter with ACCST Receiver?

    1. Maybe 2. Same question but assuming you meant ACCST tx to ACCESS rx the answer is almost definitely no. I would say make sure your TX and RXes will work together if getting the latest from FrSky or not some generic module bay that supports a wide range of frequencies and protocols (lots of...

    Emax tinyhawk 2 freestyle flies straight up when primed.

    Also worth noting if you bought from race day quads contact their support they are super helpful and will (likely) give you a replacement if the quad just died from mostly normal use (you didn't try to make it swim) and are very good at offering steps to troubleshoot.

    Emax tinyhawk 2 freestyle flies straight up when primed.

    Hmm so some good news and some bad news... The tiny hawk has a truly all in one board I believe so the receiver the FC and the escs are all baked into one board which means it's kind of a replace the whole thing situation if a gyro on it or some other component got knocked loose. Would see if...

    Motors continue to spin after exceeding 50% and lowering throttle to 0%

    It is definitely quite angry, suggest not do that again with it in the hand and all, could just see it jerking down and slicing up your fleshy arm bits, remember these brushless motors get those little sharpish props moving at dremel speeds so it will cut the heck out of you. Anything above...

    Yah gotta use a photo resizer app or just share links to google photos or apple equivalent the people who host this site don't make enough to cover hosting I don't think off the ads so can't support a ton of media being on the site (believe me annoys me a bit too but also I understand to some...
