    new drone soon to be first build

    most flight controllers only wanna see 5v from a bec or pdb, unless you have a flight controller with onboard pdb.. Forget Naze32.. its old tech. get nothing less that a f3 board.

    vtx for my falcon 250?

    the "extra" green wire is for sound. you do not have to connect that. otherwise, the vtx you posted will work great. just follow the wiring legend on the last image and you should be good!

    vtx for my falcon 250?

    yup. both of those will work. as i mentioned above, you can simply cut off the existing plug going to old vtx, and solder the wires as shown in the diagrams of the vtx 's you posted. Do you have any experience with a soldering iron? you will want to make good connections, and heatshrink the...

    vtx for my falcon 250?

    you can use any vtx you choose. it will just require modifying the plugs. the cable on the right (2 wire) is battery voltage and ground coming from quads PDB. The left cable is(from left to right) audio, video, grond, 5v out. These go to the camera. to remain using the traces in the PDB, you...

    I think i just bricked my new Eachine Falcon 250 pro (solved)

    i am also a newb so to speak.. will the drone arm?? Go back into cleanflight, and click motors tab. see if you can get them to spin. I had a crash recently, and had to order a new FC from banggood. it didnt want to arm at all, until i set up my arm function to a switch( which i prefer) I have...

    FPV cam showing Black and White..

    thanks for the reply! i may have to send a video link to banggood. I did not see anything that i was able to "manipulate" on the vtx, other than the single button switch that changes the channels.

    Falcon 250 VTX swap for eachine TX526

    Well, i suppose you "could" make it work with a bit of persistence. I am pretty much a newb to this drone hobby, so dont take this as if im an expert.. I also have a falcon 250 pro, and wrecked it into a chain link fence during my 2nd flight. that said, it shorted to PDB, and flight controller...

    FPV cam showing Black and White..

    Ive done some reading, and i think my problem is my camera will not switch out from PAL mode. (http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Falcon-250-13-CMOS-700TVL-110-Degree-FPV-Camera-p-1040713.html) Ive tried to boot up multiple times with switch in NTSC mode, but the OSD shows PAL. Heres a boot up...

    2nd flight, now i have smoke..

    i wouldntve bought this quad if id knew it had a "customized" naze 32. Not fond of the PDB either.. too easy to mess up a trace . i was originally gonna build a quad, but i was recommended this falcon 250 instead which was well over $100 cheaper and no labor involved So, $30 in new PDB, and...

    2nd flight, now i have smoke..

    i pulled the quad from the fence, and it still flew/ not even a bent prop. the quad was flying fine when i smelled burning, i landed it, and seen smoke coming from the baseplate/side piece of the frame where they meet. took it apart and disconnected the naze32, osd, camera and vtx and powered up...

    2nd flight, now i have smoke..

    finally got my Eachine falcon 250 in the mail, and flew it into a chain link fence.. now i have smoke coming from the frame. looks like the PDB has been compromised, as from the burn mark, i have continuity from pos and neg leads. Is this common with a carbon fiber PDB? of course flying a quad...

    Does FC brand/type matter?

    looking into buying a Eachine Falcon 250, and the available FC are CC3D, and SP Racing f3. Naze32 is not in stock.. It seems Naze 32 is a popular FC over the others? After watching a lot of youtube, i feel comfortable in Cleanflight. Is CC3D boards "easily" flashed to cleanflight?? I saw a...
