    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    Tests of that sort are best performed in an open field free of any obstacles ;)

    FPV setup help needed

    When I first started my foray into data processing, in high school, there were no computers either; they just had those cards with the holes punched into them. It was called Hollerith code and I got pretty good at knowing what they said just by holding them up to the light and deciphering the...

    ... I've cooked bacon naked .... NOT recommended ... ;)

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    I honestly don't know exactly how the MCU considers the inputs relative to any azimuth (a misuse of the term azimuth, since there's no real relationship to any headings in the strict sense of the term) but my best guess would be that when you're "setting the reference point" it zeroes the stack...

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    ... LMAO ... Yep, without obstacle avoidance thrown into the mix RTH will likely have you flying into something. But I suppose even that is better than just flying off into the distance never to be seen again .... been there ... done that :(

    FPV setup help needed

    It will work ! I wouldn't give up so easily, all you need to do is find any app that will split screens for you that'll work with your phone. There's plenty of them and at least one of them should certainly work for you. Try "GO VR" or "VR Cinema" or "VaR's VR Player". They are free, so it's not...

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    Exactly ... You can turn headless mode off and on at any time of course, but you need to set it's initial reference before there's any useful RTH functionality to be had from it.

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    No, it's just doing simple math ... when you set the zero reference it adds whatever degrees of input is needed to total 180 so it knows it's heading back to where it started from. I'm just using compass nomenclature for ease of explanation.

    FPV setup help needed

    :eek: .... Hmmm, well Hell .... sorry about that .... I don't have first hand experience with that app myself and was just going by what this guy said (apparently he's an idiot) ... :p

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    It's a control flow stack the MCU in the FC does the math for to interpret what command to give the ESC in order to achieve the desired result. The quad is sitting in front of you facing away from you when you tell it to set it's orientation, this we will call zero degrees. The quad now knows...

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    You are correct You let the quad know it's orientation relative to you before taking off.

    HELP NEEDED CANT FLY :(

    No, that's your radio. The FC (flight controller) is what accepts the signals from the RX (receiver) that's sent to it by the radio, it then translates those signals (your input commands) into different signals that then are sent to the ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers) which control the...

    FPV setup help needed

    o_O ... Did you not find the red button in the bottom left hand corner of the GO app that has a symbol of a phone screen and some goggles? That is what will format the pic into a split screen. It's not a matter of the phone being compatible or not because it's only being used as a display...

    HELP NEEDED CANT FLY :(

    I agree with RENOV8R, it's likely you've wasted the RX. You have to be careful to not supply it too much voltage or reversed polarity. :(

    HELP NEEDED CANT FLY :(

    Given there's two quads, one is a 5" with a bad motor and a bad ESC; the other is 6" with only a bad FC, the easiest and most expedient fix would be to remove the FC from the 5" quad and install it into the 6" quad. ;)

    How do you like to fly?

    Just an observation: Yanking and Banking could take on a whole new meaning when done naked :eek: "Oh no, he didn't just go there" ... "Oh yes he did" ... :p

    HELP NEEDED CANT FLY :(

    :rolleyes: ... Popping the 5 incher's FC onto the 6 incher would seem to be the obvious choice .... unless ... there might be an underlying reason the FC died, in which case you could feasibly fry the other one too :eek:

    Try downloading and using the "Syma Go" app then. I know it works for the X21W so it will likely also work with your X22W. That app, aside from offering to control the quad via the phone, has an FPV function too. Pulling up on the little arrow at the bottom center of screen opens a menu, at the...

    Yep, take a few grand from a few million people and hold it for a few months and you get a substantial payoff in interest :D
