I bought two Flowride frames to make the international shipping from PiroFlip worth it, so after the compromise my first one turned into after the Asgard32 ended up being too big to fit properly I'm hoping to learn from it & make this one as tidy as I hoped the first one would be :)
The signal pads on the FC were a pain to work with (very small & pre-tinned by the factory with lead-free solder) & the Matek VTX-HV had to be connected backwards to the spare UART (eg I had to connect RX on the VTX to RX on the FC & TX on the VTX to TX on the FC, which is the exact opposite of normal UART convention). Smartport is connected to the LED strip pad with softserial (thanks to Oscar Liang for that idea).
The TattooF4S board needs a capacitor on the LiPo input, without it mine freaked out bad on any hard attitude change (flips, rolls, etc.). A 1000uF 25V cap & bumping the ESC PWM frequency from the stock 24KHz up to 48KHz completely fixed it.

This is the 4th installment to my popular "Wizard Killer" series, and is based on the popular Wizard X220HV 6S. As usual, the goal was to build a substantially better quad, yet come in below the retail price of the BNF kit. Here are some of the improvements: Higher quality EMAX ECO 2306 1700kv motors Foxeer's top-of-the-line Falkor mini camera Eachine 25mw-1000mw Leaf VTX with microphone Tools This..

The iFlight XL5 V3 is a fantastic freestyle frame for the price. It features chamfered edges on some very nice quality carbon fiber. My goal for this build was to use high quality components at a relatively low price. Not only that, but I managed to reduce the number of solder points to the bare minimum. I've never built such a plug-in-play quad! The flight controller has an integrated VTX and doesn't..

Did u have to flash the vtx with any firmware when u got it or did smartaudio work out of the box? It was a while ago, but I thought I remember something about this
I flashed it with the latest firmware when I got it, just out of habit. And it uses the Tramp Telemetry protocol, not smartaudio, so make sure to select the correct protocol in the betaflights ports tab!
what website or video did u use to guide u through that process?
