For the cam power can just use a multimeter and steady hands to check that the line that is supposed to be suppling voltage has power, if you can check it cam side that's ideal but if not checking it on the FC at least tells you the voltage is good on that pad powering it (if not going direct...

Since you see the OSD in your goggles the video signal the VTX is transmitting is fine but the cam signal isn't making it to the FC or the cam isn't getting powered (or has lense cover on, I have done that countless times and been bewildered for a few minutes at least). Would check cam vid...

Guessing they are using HV batteries which have ability to be charged to 4.35V without serious damage. Also bigger batteries in terms of capacity mAh gives more flight time to a point because there is a tipping point where the extra weight offsets the thrust (given by motors/props/battery...

Hey will let ya know when I have a chance to grab the logs and try looking them over but in general I just wipe out the black box log and make sure it's turned on to start recording logs (sounds like already good there) but might be worth saving current ones and wiping them out from the quad so...

Hiya, thanks for sharing the vid helps with figuring out or at least making some educated guesses at what's going on. Regarding motor desync while possible this isn't a very common problem, more often a signal wire from the FC to the ESC or the ESC itself has some issue or could even be a loose...

Haha it is a lot to take in especially at first and all at once, hence I try to keep quiet if others appear to be helping out in simpler terms since I tend to go straight into the deep end :D. It's a character fault. Anywhoo yah once you get things bound and control inputs mapped you're in a...

Agree with others here, 5" or 3" even can still be a lot of fun and far less dangerous or likely to break itself, and you have a nice TX, would also say consider just taking a break on it (maybe still get rid of the mega components since can recoup some cash for small quads).

Always a bit sad to see someone leave the hobby, that said I've been lucky to get some parts extremely cheap this way, so can be a win for someone coming into the hobby and without the unlimited budget it seems to demand. Maybe worth putting some minimum prices on things or giving a will sell...

Hah same boat in terms of ownership that said well done on the vid and thanks for breaking up the chapters since I'm not an owner was nice to just jump to the demo without needing to skip around and good for people who do own one and want the deep dive.

Yup FYI just about all the ESCs are running 32 bit bl-heli now I think with some sort of STM32F3 (er maybe F0) or similar on there to basically act as a fancy reprogrammable motor driver :). Unfortunate thing about when BLHeli went from the older BLHeli-S (8-bit) to BLHeli-32 they decided to...

Here's a link that has the CLI options for putting a receiver into binding mode, I think the regular bind_rx one worked for me on the tinyhawk but looks like it is somewhat firmware dependent too: https://brushlesswhoop.com/spi-bind-via-betaflight/

General procedure is 1 get quad into binding mode by holding button or using CLI commands 2 get TX into binding mode using menus on controller or by holding some button/momentary switch while starting up 3 wait for TX to stop scanning indicating it found the receiver and is bound (or give up...

Also if you already had the tiny hawk working or it had default firmware flashed then you shouldn't need to adjust the receiver protocol selection on the configuration tab in betaflight and can just focus on getting the TX to bind to the receiver. Like @Dugdog47 mentioned too there are two...

Yah just to clarify some stuff you actually just need binding between the TX (controller) and receiver, in the case of tinyhawk it's a bit confusing because I'm pretty sure the receiver is baked in to the single board that also has the FC and brushless ESC (true all in one). Also to further...

Hiya @NoviceQuadPilot55 think you responded to this thread but would be better to make a new thread for your topic, can just copy/paste and delete your comment from this thread to not mix topics up (we wander a lot but good to start new thread for new issues so can discuss fully there)

Granted my dog is short and doesn't have a great vertical but there are some leapers out there. Just saying the noise with animals is something to contend with it makes some of them crazy.

Just FYI the pets thing, dogs will absolutely try to take your quad out of the air autonomous or not . As far as my dog is concerned my quads are just very large scary bugs that need to be eliminated with prejudice.

Gotcha so getting wifi FPV from the quad to the phone and that camera signal also cuts out?

Dunno but might be worth trying a different or higher speed SD card. They can flake out with too many writes or for a multitude of reasons, often with cams on quads the problem is just the SD card slot on board getting rattled around so if you can add form or otherwise do anything to help hold...

I think google or amazon launched a similar thing recently to fly around your house for the sake of checking things out if out of town often or for extended period and want some way to monitor a probably large house :D I'm guessing it isn't really too practical for the average Joe, but there's...
