Buttered Helio Gordo - 6S - Session Mount

By Rambozo on Apr 18, 2018

6 345 4

Experimenting with 3 different flight controller solutions, this build focuses on the Helio Spring with an f3 processor dedicated to prefiltering the gyro data and an f4 for the pid loop.

Warning - As of 4/18/2018, the wiring diagram for the Helio Spring is incorrect for Spektrum. The signal wire should go to RX2, not the SBUS port which is inverted and not compatible with DSMX.

Other FC's being tested:

Kakute F4 (Soft mounted gyro)
Raceflight Revolt OSD

Hey Rambozo, how did you hook the RDQ Mach 2 VTX up? I just ordered one for my 6S build and I noticed that it says "Direct 6S power is not recommended" on the product page.

Did you connect straight to vbat? Has it been running OK?

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone!
