Hi all, first time postie so my apologies for any etiquette errors.

I have been on forums and looked at info to try and turn a bunch of parts that i bought into a moving flying machine but so far have only managed to fry 3 naze32 FC's. But each time I'm learning a little (the expensive way).

I basically wanted to assemble a drone which pretty much covered all the elements of different flight modes and telemetry. Rather than think of this as a racing drone I wanted to use it as a learning tool for me and my kids to have some fun with.

At this point I feel its time to call in the help, support and knowledge of the great and good. So If anyone can have a look at my wiring diagram i would be so so so grateful for any and all help that turns the bag of bits into a working model.

I've attached a wiring diagram that I think is a good starting point.
For clarity. I haven't shown the ESC to PDB connections and also the ESC to motor connections.

The parts I have for my "Drone Number1" are:

Turnigy 9XR Pro with XJT module transmitter
ZMR250 carbon frame
Realacc HUBOSD power distribution board PDB w/ OSD
Naze32 rev 6 FULL
Little Bee 20A ESC with BLHeli_S, OneShot125 and Damped Light (2-4S)
EMAX RS2205 motors
1000 TVL camera
Frskr X8R
NZ GPS module
TS5828S 40ch 600mw

Thank you,
Jason

It looks like your wiring is 99% correct, but if I'm not mistaken, the power for your receiver is connected to channel 1 & 2 pads of the flight controller instead of 5 volt + and -
 
Hi RENOV8R,

you are correct. I have modified the diagram.

What about the telemetry side of things and the GPS anything that could be better there.
I keep reading about latency being an issue is this in relation to the video FPV transmicion?

Thank you.

That was a good list till I seen the naze32. I was exactly the same I went through 6 or 7 nazes. Til I bought better fcb's & they all still working.
Naze32 are now officially unsupported. As of the last few days.
There is plenty of F3's out there fr the same price.
 
For the moment I have the Naze and I'm using it. Once I have a working build I'll change it.

So far its built and I'm attempting to hook up the receiver and X8R.
 
Nearly there then. Nothing like throwing your first bird up in the air.
Literally toss it & apply throttle.
Feels the same as when it's hurtling towards the ground or losing orientation.
So get used to the induced panic.
I was treating it with kid gloves being careful but don't. Fly it like you stole it.
 
Have a bit of a transmitter / receiver issue. I can throttle up the motors from within cleanflight but although the transmitter and X8R have binded. I think either some connection is missing or I have to do some more config on the transceiver. I'm not sure what the best way to config it is, is companion the way to go or is there a profile for a QAV250 naze/betaflight I can download as a starting point?

I have the X8R connected to pins 3/4 for UART and the smartport connected to 7 and 8 (7 and 8 pins are soldered together). Should I have a connection from the TX/RX in the middle of the naze to the TX/RX on the HOBOSD?

I have every intention of crashing it until it looks like it should be in the bin.
