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.

In late 2019 DJI made inroads into the FPV scene with their remarkable low-latency digital system. It gave us a 720p video feed with latency on-par with the status quo, analog video. Traditionally we've used analog video systems for low-latency video, but the video quality is far from ideal. It's a trade-off we've been willing to accept for the control. Now we've got the best of both worlds and what..

When the FatShark HDOs hit the market in 2018 the FPV community rejoiced for the new Sony OLED displays. While they lacked further upgrades like an updated DVR and power button they were still a market success. With the 2019 announcement of the Orqa FPV.One the community finally had a potential HDO killer on the horizon. With only weeks before the release of the Orqa FPV.One Skyzone came out of left..

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?
