    Banggood refuses warranty!

    Also if in the US race day quads has always been good to me and fights the good fight for hobbyists and amateurs so will continue to buy from them. Also also suggest check out various T16 or T18 options (different mfgs make clones of each other's products with variable quality components and...

    Worked then it didn't

    https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/pull/1820 ^^ looks like they made this change recently but wondering based on screenshot there if you did legacy option or not for your board and maybe worth trying whichever one you haven't already (kinda shooting in the dark here now but...

    Banggood refuses warranty!

    I believe this is the same as ali express or ebay or the like (even amazon though their customer support will play defense for customers and back charge or otherwise deal with manufacturers mfgs). Lots of online retail like this are just middle men for the actual mfgs or distributors of...

    Worked then it didn't

    The diff to dump your current config will only work if the current config is working but is a good idea to have that diff saved somewhere once you do get things working and have your receiver/modes and all setup since can typically do minor version upgrades of betaflight and just reapply your...

    Worked then it didn't

    Yup after the flash you usually want the FC to fully restart (give it like 10 seconds after flashing says it's done just to finalize anything being written to memory but in theory safe to unplug once the progress bar is done, then unplug it so literally powers down). Lots of these STM32 ARM...

    Flying My Mavic In the Cold

    Yah apparently going for 1-5 hops just a few meters off the ground but you know if it works they'll be powerlooping that thing in no time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenuity_(Mars_helicopter) https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/

    Flying My Mavic In the Cold

    3-22 minutes depending on orbits is the speed of light there so I think 6 minute delay for round trip best case scenario.... I looked it up yesterday :D

    Flying My Mavic In the Cold

    Yup around 20C (room temp) is best for efficiency of power drawn from the battery but it will heat itself up some when current is flowing. Insulator probably helps a bit with avoiding any snow ingress in the case of a crash or landing in the snow but can also just tape up any holes where snow...

    Eachine EX5 - camera question.

    The easy solution is just slap another camera on there that is just doing the recording onto an SD card. A gopro does this but is pretty pricey, some alternatives, if you search for "action camera" you can find things that are pretty small and rugged and have onboard recording, in general I've...

    Worked then it didn't

    ^^^^ What he said Hiya so I can at least put you somewhat at ease I don't think you bricked it or anything (actually from what I gather pretty hard to do that with these chips now since the actual firmware updater part of the chips I believe aren't touched when doing the "normal flash"...

    Wires have come loose

    Try sharing image with photos.google.com or otherwise resize to upload here (I use a resizer app on my phone to keep from uploading mega images to this site which it then has to resize, wish it accepted larger file sizes in the first place but understand it is a small team or individual even...

    Controlling drone with microcontroller

    Hmm yeah betaflight already internally handles reading RSSI values from the receiver if it is sending that data along but from what I've heard you really want "link quality" that includes more information about the received/missed/resent packets of info rather than RSSI which is more of just...

    WHAT IS THE BEST FPV CAMERA FOR LATENCY AND VIDEO QUALITY?

    Any "runcam split" is a pretty good option. There can be some latency issues at certain frame rates but the onboard video quality is fair for the price. Within the price range can't really suggest anything better. The latency issues I've seen were minor but also frame rate change resolved it...

    Radioking TX18S-Lite TX NOT for Sale (Decided to keep)

    Sucks to hear it on the radiomaster I've had one of the original release of the T16 and was good (ran into the ribbon cable issue once but was just while bench testing and was easily fixed by reseating the ribbon cable). The other radio you got with the hall sensors will likely be more reliable...

    Controlling drone with microcontroller

    Totally possible the big question is why? The stm32 on most FCs is running open source software so you could just add routines to that instead of having separate input, you could also use pwm or some other protocol as though your mcu is a receiver and send in control but not sure why you...

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    Basically you should hear "ba da ba" then a pause then "beep boop" if you don't hear the "beep boop" you are just hearing the tones the ESC plays when it has power and is hooked up to the motor correctly (so good there). The "beep boop" happens once the ESC "sees" a 0 throttle signal come...

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    Yah also what I meant by option 3 is if the protocol for ESC communication is wrong in the configuration tab of betaflight configurator then it can also have the same behavior as no signal getting through (or no common gnd, in all cases the ESC just can't understand/read what is being sent by...
