Combo racing/freestyle build, plenty of power, but not obsessing over Thrust:Weight ratios
Soft-Mounting of PDB/FC via Armattan 3m 9448A PDB Pads and O-rings
OSD via F4 Omnibus running BetaFlight
VTX control over SmartAudio via SoftSerial resource-mapped to PWM5
Pagoda Antenna from FarVew
DSHOT 300 at 8K/8K PID/Gyro rates - Smooth!
AUW - 541 Grams: Approx 8:1 Thrust-Weight Ratio
What I loved most about this build:
What I loved least about this build:
Note: Omnibus F4 Pro has issue with SD Card logging for BB logs: you must set sdcard_dma=OFF
in order to use BB logging to SD or your quad will freak-out at some point in flight. This is not a BF issue, it appears to be an issue with the STM F4 DMA handling of concurrent R/W requests.
Final PIDs for this build (P / I / D) on these props:
Yaw 70 / 90
love this build as well. nice job. do you still running the same pid on this build? thanks
Congrats for this build, i love how you've soldered to get the current sensing.
Can you please describe the wiring for UARTs?
I have a XSR (soldered a wire to get uninverted signal) and the ports are: serial rx on uart1, smart port on uart3 and smart audio on uart6. But, for some reasons I cannot volage & other sensors working. Am i'm missing something?
How did you accomplish having both current sensing and OSD along with the rubber connector saver?
I've gone back and forth on the wire gauge.... I'm bursting to 75Amps total draw when I run Racekraft 5051's so I'm not sure I'd want to go much smaller in terms of wire.
I did have the 14AWG ground wire pull out (break, due to use) the other day, so I replaced it with a 12AWG down to the PDB to hold it in better, and tried to keep my tinning to just the very tip.
No, the positive feeds need to be separated, they can't both run through the PDB hole, one needs to feed the shunt resistor, the other is the return that goes to the PDB, and those do need to be adequately beefy to pass the current.
Can you take a picture of your rear LED board installation? How are you holding it in place? Thanks!
LOL, high tech stuff -- 3M VHB double-sided adhesive tape. It's still the same set from the original pics, even though this build has quite a few flights (and a crash or two) on it, and still sticking to the aluminum/carbon. I'll try and take a pic.
EDIT - Added a pic to the end. Just two "half-strips" and a full strip layered up to make up the difference between the carbon and the aluminum bits.
I see you got smartaudio to work .
My vtx got hot and melted when I get the replacement I have serial rx1 turned on and skipped a line and have the tbs smart audio as a choice is there some other thing I have to do to make it work?
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

Just wondering how you mounted the swift 2 in there
