    DJI Mini wifi question

    https://www.dji.com/mini-2/specs Don't own one so can't tell you "for sure" but based on the tech notes on bottom of that page saying certain locations only allow 2.4GHz band and 5.8GHz band should in those cases be disabled that it can work on either.

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

    Bit confused, since this transmitter has a module bay couldn't you just add the "JR module" that is compatible with your receivers? In any case not a thing I need but seems like a fairish starting price for sure.

    How to: Adjust VTX output power while flying.

    The TLDR (too long didn't read) is betaflight is software that allows you to customize basically everything about the sensors that your quad works with, that said it is made by people in their off time with whatever funding they can muster up from board manufacturers etc. who benefit from their...

    How to: Adjust VTX output power while flying.

    Betaflight isn't an acroym really it's "just" a piece of software/code that reads sensors on and it runs on the micro-controller [MCU] (stored in memory and executed by processor in there). There is also a windows/mac/linux compatible "Betaflight configurator" which you can use to connect to...

    Syma X5C Controller - sound stays on, nothing else works

    Must be the flux capacitor make sure you feed it enough banana peels :D Usually outside of bleeps and bloops and motor wiring noises and prop wind sound there shouldn't be a ton of noise it could be some gears grinding if the model uses brushed motors and plastic gearing to get the right...

    SG906 Pro2 Max with Collision Avoidance/ HFun Pro

    Morning! I have good news and bad news :D. The good news is you have learned why it is people spend the extra cash on DJI, the bad news is you have learned why it is people spend the extra cash on DJI. Companies selling quadcopters on Ali express or Banggood offer a lot for the price but at...

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    Guessing since you can't connect to ESCs using BlHeliSuite but the USB connection to FC seems good it is the common GND between FC and ESC that is missing or broken would double check that/those connection(s).

    Syma X5C Controller - sound stays on, nothing else works

    Would need to hear/see it I think at the least. Quads make all sorts of loud sounds but if someone here who has one sees vid of some known behaviour to them then will be more likely to get a good response.

    Help! ESC config or Motor slider issue

    Hey sorry (for delayed response), love all the detail in your post but trawling through it again here since forgot about it after reading through the first time :D Great summary and troubleshooting thanks for sharing screenshots of CLI you did and output etc. really makes it a lot less...

    Fly sky fs-rx2A connecting to FC issues.

    If it is just usb port that got lifted slightly you could reflow that section of the board with a hot air reflow station but again matter of cost of equipment and effort to fix vs replacement cost. Might also get away with throwing it in a toaster oven for poor man's reflow but would want to...

    Fly sky fs-rx2A connecting to FC issues.

    Yah clean off and disconnect from everything else then just connect the FC is your best bet really can do some continuity checking or check input voltage and output voltage on regulators but not much more you can easily test really. There are connections from the usb port to the stm32 chip but...

    Newbie from London

    Nice intro welcome to the forum/hobby! Taming your twitchiness/fine tuning stick control is mostly a practice makes perfect situation... that said you can also adjust your "RC Rate" or "Super Rate" or other parameters in the betaflight configurator to make it so only extreme stick motions...

    Help with iFlight nazgul5 V2 death roll?

    Generally speaking the flight logs will show the events whenever something like ARM/DISARM or RXLOSS or anything like that occurs but if something was shorting or otherwise under powered then corrupted logs are definitely a possibility unfortunately (despite the name our blackbox in this case is...

    Help with iFlight nazgul5 V2 death roll?

    Yah the FCs with onboard flash do tend to be really small hence the habit of clearing it out also just easier to find which log was which flight doing it from a clean slate. Some FCs have a micro sd card slot usually used for extra long black box logging, can get like a 4GB micro SD on the...

    Help with iFlight nazgul5 V2 death roll?

    So I did finally look at the logs here and unfortunately on the crashed one not seeing the disarm at the end or any sort of thing happen at the end that would indicate the failure. Best I can say is the FC power cycled for some reason otherwise the log shouldn't just cut off (let me know if you...

    Motors running inconsistently

    With props off this is mostly expected behavior even just sitting on the bench using betaflight to control the motor they can seem to "run away" if it is trying to keep level but has no control authority (and is getting vibrations from the motors spinning and frame vibrating on the table). I...

    Need help desperately with pinpointing the reason (/reasons?) for crashing my Pixhawk Quadcopter hard from high altitude. (Log file included)

    Not sure what the issue is but would do some process of elimination, would take off the GPS control and just attempt angle mode flight LOS since it is the simplest option with the least things that can fail and lead to it going wrong (just requires accelerometer and gyro to be working and...

    Tyro 79 + f405 mini mk2 Problems with Video and AUX switches

    Also you can try bypass the FC entirely and just tie the video out from the cam to the VTX and it will usually transmit that analog vid signal along no problem, the FC just gets involved for adding the OSD info (very nice to have but just for testing purposes can bypass that)
