[00:02:35] hey friends my name is Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti welcome to the show it's Monday is it Monday it's Monday night it's definitely Monday night May 13th welcome we are
[00:02:48] actually going to work on the grinder Rino and the AOS 3.5 tonight and we are actually going to fly six batteries those are the names of the stream yesterday but there was like an hour
[00:03:04] and 45 minutes of really good questions and then I realized that one of the screws was broken on the AOS 35 which took some time to fix so we didn't really end up doing much of anything to
[00:03:15] either one of them so we'll give it a shot again tonight and if we can't get it done tonight I'll just do it off the stream no live streams for like a week and a half there's a chance that next
[00:03:31] Monday night there will be one probably not this Wednesday afternoon I leave for some World BMX Championship that I am live flying for three days driving up on Wednesday night and
[00:03:56] then call time on Thursday is [@$#%] 7 a.m. so flying all day Thursday Friday Saturday at this BMX thing and then Saturday as soon as it wraps I'm going directly to Rampage for Saturday night
[00:04:19] Sunday and Monday depending I I I usually a lot of people hang on the Monday so hopefully that happens again this year because I want to see people and Bs with them and do a little flying
[00:04:40] as well so I don't know I don't know when I'll get home Barnwell South Carolina which is where Rampage is held is three and a half hours from here so I don't know when I'll get home
[00:04:52] Monday I don't know in what shape I'll be in I could be a hot mess because like I'm gonna I'm gonna eat horribly Thursday Friday and Saturday I won't eat that much better on
[00:05:08] Sunday and then God Only Knows Monday so I might be a train wreck by Monday night I will try to do a live stream Monday night 10 to 12 same time but fair warning I probably will be in no
[00:05:23] shape to do it I'll also be incredibly sleep deprived I have a really hard time falling asleep in general let alone when I'm away from my expensive mattress and nice pillow I'll bring my pillow with me
[00:05:36] but so fair warning cbfv says where can we watch the live gig I have no idea I don't know a whole lot about the gig to be honest BMX World Championships UCI is that it
[00:06:02] wait no 2024 Rock Hill okay so it looks it's these guys so it looks it's UCI that is the organizing body I guess and there we go no lives I thought it was lives
[00:06:25] I'm assuming it's going to be in here 2024 BMX worlds.com I'm putting that into the chat I'm going to go ahead and assume that it's going to be in there fair warning though a lot of
[00:06:38] times when I do these Live Events the way that they can pay for them is by charging people to watch the live stream it's tough to get enough sponsors on board to pay
[00:06:49] for a mega crew I I only really get brought on to events that have where it's like a big it's a big production and so every once in a while like Aniston this year was free
[00:07:06] to watch on YouTube which I was blown away by in the past you've had to pay 20 bucks to watch it or whatever so fair warning you you might have to actually pay to watch that I I have no idea but
[00:07:16] it looks like that's the it looks like that's the website for it in the chat Minton was first hockey rounds was next Burger on doubles FPV John kogan Nathan Otis
[00:07:30] Sheamus Kelly Bob Bruce Kevin suers Northern Tier Scotty Scott Cloud Hopper stav stav I I promise I haven't forgotten about you man stav chopped up a live stream or two into the
[00:07:45] important bits and I am going to be putting them up as shorts I'm going to try to spend a big chunk of time tomorrow doing that and I'm going to try to schedule them out so one goes up
[00:07:59] tomorrow one goes up Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday so that there's a bunch of things they're from a previous live stream so if you watch a lot of these live streams there'll be
[00:08:09] old news to you but there it's going to be good stuff I I really quickly browsed what stav did and from what I saw he cut like really nice chunks of information out so dude thank
[00:08:21] you so much very very cool of you I just need to I'm just absolutely hammered between these two gigs trying to get ready what's really killing me is Rampage like I I I really
[00:08:33] I've completely neglected the 5-in fleet which is why they're not up here and a bunch of the 3-in stuff too like we've been going so hard on Tiny whoops that when I've gone out and flown
[00:08:44] 3in and 5in stuff I've destroyed them and then just come home and put them on the shelf and been like I'll fix it later I got tiny whoop stuff to do for the next upcoming live stream so I've
[00:08:54] had a lot of gear that's been in really bad shape that's needed some serious attention and that's taken me a whole bunch of time and I've also I I tried to do another 5-in build to bring
[00:09:06] with me with a different frame and some cool stuff and instead it burned to the ground so that was a huge waste of time but that's FPV sometimes speaking of actually I need to
[00:09:19] grab this and just put it somewhere that I'll remember to take a look at it and know that's fine cool so who else is in the chat here we've got a little bit of
[00:09:39] Walter Nathan Otis looks like there's a conversation going on between those three Smoking Dog Kujo who else is in here Sky otic Frank Nicholas Timmons tongueout FPV Kevin
[00:09:57] James Great Scott danzel the terrible FPV toast slow Cal CB FPV BL squishy beef FPV what's the story behind beef FPV tell us tell us wny beef why not fair enough EMP FPV if you
[00:10:23] want the gangly man to read your name you got to come into the chat early say something if you want to talk directly to me though the other way is tag me type at cfpv or just type c FPV
[00:10:34] don't put a space in there and spell it right and your when you type someone's name for that person it lights up an orange and they see it those are the comments that I read I don't read
[00:10:44] the entire chat so if you want me to read your comment you got to type c FPV into it Cloud Hopper did that and he said I got my order from Black Market FPV and the shipping tape said just send
[00:10:53] it LOL oh fail Walter says remember people to put Lua BetaFlight script on transmitter T tr1 16s it helps I'm not the biggest fan of Lis scripts but there's kind of no reason to
[00:11:13] not do it like if it's there and you never use it's better than it not being there and then at some point you might need it so I actually did it at one point what I did it
[00:11:24] on the on the old radio that I just retired like last week I guess I have to do it on the on the new one H whatever I saw you guys talking about durability so I put a link to the mob
[00:11:42] 6 2024 you guys somebody was talking about tiny whoop durability so I put a link to the extreme durability testing of the Mobula 6 2024 cbfp saysdanilla the terrible says what's that
[00:11:54] thing stuck on your face facial hair or was I a sloppy eater I was rushing to eat a burrito hopefully I got all of it into my mouth and it's not stuck to my face stav says when are you getting a
[00:12:16] tattoo like Bardwell chat suggestions I didn't think Joshua had a tattoo did he just get one or something Kevin suer says are you all packed for Wednesday haven't even
[00:12:26] started that's what tomorrow is going to be tomorrow I I have all day tomorrow and then I have all day during the day Wednesday I'm thinking I'm going to leave here Wednesday at maybe like
[00:12:40] four because it's a it's a three and a half I don't have I don't have to do anything Wednesday night I just have to get to the hotel and then get to sleep and it's going to be it's kind
[00:12:49] of middle of nowhere South Carolina that I'm going so I I don't necessarily want to get there early because there's nothing going on Nathan Otis says what's that
[00:12:59] classic in the driveway it is a oh Patrick's going to be so mad that I don't know it is a Pontiac lemons maybe I forget what it is I forget what it is if P Richard
[00:13:17] Scott jumps into the chat he'll he'll let oh damn it can't think of what that one is I can't think of what the black one is Steph Woodruff says is the is it the
[00:13:34] UCI World BMX event that's the one EMP FPV says what rig for the gig EMP make sure that you type CiottiFPV I just happened to your comment was just below somebody else that tagged me
[00:13:46] which is the only reason I saw it so when I fly live this will be the sixth or seventh opportunity that I've had to fly live these are the two guys that I run it's a weird interesting gray area
[00:14:06] where like so if you're going to fly over people above people's heads you're supposed to be category one as per the FAA rules which is sub 250 grams is the is the most important part
[00:14:21] you also you can't have any externally rotating things that could lacerate is almost exactly their wording the reason why I say it's a gray area is that that talks about
[00:14:36] like like flying flying above like crowds and people at these events I'm really barely ever flying above people and I don't need to like I if if if I was to kind of
[00:14:53] push it I think that I could fly rigs that are above 250 and just make absolutely sure that where I launch from I have a path to never go above the crowd but the the gray area is that I then
[00:15:15] Fly Above athletes I I and there are people too they're on the events insurance and they're almost kind of sort of considered to be crew it's just there's no it's doesn't like
[00:15:33] differentiate I don't know so I just play it safe and do SUB 250 which sucks because at 250 GRS the biggest rigs that I can build that will keep up with the with give me the runtime and the
[00:15:51] power and the speed that I need are two and a half inch propellers and there's a yikes there's a significant performance increase that you can get by going up to 3in rigs but taking one of
[00:16:10] these and building it into a 3-in rig instead of 249 gram it's going to be like 310 320 gam like way over sub 250 like not even close if it was close I I might be willing to
[00:16:26] like fudge it but it's just not you got to run bigger Motors the frame is significantly heavier so I'm stuck with 2 and half inch but these two get the job done the the cyclists
[00:16:40] will cruise at like 25 to 30 m an hour and then they will burst up to like 40 and at 40 m an hour these [@$#%] things are I mean they are just stood up and they are screaming you can hear it
[00:16:55] on the the the static cameras the corner cameras all record audio and when the TV truck takes one of those cameras and I come by there is no mistaking it I mean it's
[00:17:08] just like it you you absolutely hear it they they've actually asked me on more than one occasion like is there any way you could make that quieter and I'm like technically yes but
[00:17:20] it's going to negatively affect the flight performance and speed and the battery life and whatnot so unless you absolutely need me to I would rather not and they're like no it's
[00:17:28] okay it's fine we'll deal with it so these two builds so one of these builds is much more durable and it's basically the the the build that I use to do all of the testing early
[00:17:43] before the event starts and it's also the backup rig this is a luminer getfpv qav C it's the old one the the luminer Edition but the new one is exactly the same I think it's now called
[00:17:59] the qav c pro I don't know it's the the box frame that looks like this that has 2 and 1 half inch propellers the the the only other one they have is a 5 in so it's very obvious incredibly
[00:18:11] durable love this build 20x20 stack nothing crazy Vista at some point I am going to move to 03 but it's a very expensive move I TR long story but whatever if if you want more
[00:18:26] info on 03 watch the the recap from the Sunny King Criterium like two weeks ago but this rig is awesome t-motor 144s 4S and then these are Azor 2540s if you're going to build a rig
[00:18:43] to do this this is the setup these props these motors like I've tested a lot of different stuff and this this is what performs the best true RC antenna up nice and high Immortal T up nice and
[00:18:56] high as well so that when when I'm nose down flying these guys are up as high as you can basically get them so before the event this is what I fly to check if there's any areas where I'm
[00:19:07] going to fail safe or whatever and this is the backup rig so if this other rig goes down this is totally flyable sometimes I'll put this up in the air during the event like what I'll do is
[00:19:18] I'll run this camera at like a very low camera angle basically like 0 degrees of up tilt and then this will be my my like really slow hovering kind of rig like I'll put it up a lot of times they'll
[00:19:29] come over the radio and say like can you give us like some beauty shots or some like Horizon shots and whatnot that they can pepper in so I I can take it up nice and high and just
[00:19:38] like slowly ya around and whatnot so it does get used just not nearly as much as this one which is very very similar same prop same Motors 20 x 20 Stacks Vista same kind of everything
[00:19:51] oh by the way both of these rigs have Crossfire and elrs if for some reason Crossfire is having a hard time I can swap to elrs I prefer to run Crossfire but it's there at
[00:20:03] these events the the TV trucks have about a thousand antennas Up on the Roof the the corner cameras are sometimes Wireless they've got wireless microphones all over the place it is an
[00:20:13] RF nightmare and I have had events where the crossfire has had minimal range like 3 400 feet range Max so having elrs on I I've actually not that was the event that made me realize that
[00:20:30] I needed to put something else on these so after that event I put elrs on them and I haven't had to use it yet but at some point I will and it'll be nice that it's there this is an AOS c25
[00:20:43] frame and it's a very weak frame if I crash this it breaks they have Chris has chosen to not brace the ducts in any way out here so if you crash and you hit even remotely on the corner it
[00:21:01] just snaps the the bottom and the top plate typically the the bottom plate definitely breaks and a lot of times it'll break the top plate when I first built this and I took it out in
[00:21:12] the front yard to start tuning it's fell about 5T to the grass and it broke the bottom plate luckily I had a replacement bottom plate I put that on like the next battery I think tuning
[00:21:26] it's smacked down onto the sidewalk right next to the grass from again like 5T and it broke both the top and the bottom plate so very very very fragile but because of the fact that
[00:21:41] this is all opened here it's more efficient than this guy which has the support this support right here is the reason why this Frame is so strong because when you when you put energy
[00:21:53] into the outside here it drives that energy up into this support which is very rigid right it's all triangulated and nice here whereas with this there's nowhere for that Force to go it
[00:22:05] just it just snaps the and these these plates are fairly fairly thin I think these are 2 mm they do sell a 3mm top and bottom plate version of this but that would be way too heavy this is
[00:22:17] already heavier than this mainly because this is this is like a classic box frame so one piece top plate one piece box bottom plate standoff super simple super basic this is more like a regular
[00:22:35] quad with a base plate and then and this is almost acting like an X plate and then you've got removable arms and then there's the the main plate here as well so there's just a lot more
[00:22:50] Carbon on this there's a lot more complexity it's a lot harder to work on but again out here having this all opened Mak a significant difference in runtime I probably get about another 20
[00:23:03] to 30 seconds with this which doesn't sound like much but it actually is it's makes a really really big deal when you're flying battery after battery after battery after battery for hours
[00:23:14] and hours and hours straight so there's no real other differences in the build again Vista 20 x 20 stack t-motor 144s Azor 2540 props and again the the antenna's up nice and high
[00:23:31] so that when it's nosed down they are the highest point on the quad so these are my live flying rigs they've been absolutely fantastic I've made a couple small changes here
[00:23:43] and there over the years but they've broadly stayed the same with 03 unfortunately it doesn't really work in either one of those frames so I have a What's called the rexis there
[00:24:00] there's a frame called the rexis which is basically that qav c but designed for the 03 air unit I I built a Rax the rexis with the 03 setup and then unfortunately un likee the third
[00:24:14] battery that ESC caught on fire like two days before the event and so I haven't actually used it yet and it's still sitting in a bag wreaking of electrical fire but it'll get put
[00:24:25] back together at some point here it's just I didn't really need it for Rampage I didn't need it for this upcoming event they they rented me the in order to do these events in order to get the TV
[00:24:35] truck clean output we have to run these stupid ass RC Pro things from DJI it's the stupid screen with the thumb sticks built in to take the feed from my goggles and then convert it
[00:24:47] to HDMI you can technically use Cosmo streamers but there's a bunch of weirdness like you have to take your your cable that goes from the goggles to the cosmo streamer and you have to kind
[00:24:58] of take it apart and there's a wire that you have to cut in it and then the cosmo streamer itself is just basically a Raspberry Pi and I mean it's just it's not it's not as stable as
[00:25:13] DJI 03 going into DJI goggles going into DJI RC Pro unfortunately with the new RC Pro so they rented me the RC Pro which is $1,200 to buy for the Aniston event and one of the things I
[00:25:29] learned before the rexis caught on fire is that the dumbasses removed one of the USB ports from it and so now the RC Pro cannot be charged while you're using it at which point it becomes completely
[00:25:49] worthless for live broadcast like everybody that's all the other Pilots that are doing live broadcast which is only a few of us are like so pissed at DJI about this and we all have to
[00:26:02] use Cosmo streamers now so I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet because again it was just that one event that they had the budget for the 03 setup I I really would prefer to keep using
[00:26:12] the vistas because they're here they're reliable they have much better lowlight performance than the 03 and the the box it's this stupid thing I can use this which has been
[00:26:29] incredibly reliable and durable and it's got one USB here and then another USB up here so I can charge I can have it plugged into a wall wart so it the battery doesn't go dead and I can
[00:26:43] output to my goggles the new one they took this port off so you just have this which you have to connect to your goggles so the B the built-in battery is all you got which is just
[00:26:58] it's it's a perfect example of how toned deaf DJI is like th this is this is like a Prof this is not for hobbyists this is a professional piece of gear the only reason anybody
[00:27:11] would buy this is if they're doing what I like if if they're a working professional and for them to not like just like what the hell man have you lost your mind
[00:27:29] really weird man Scotty Scott Scotty Scott says glad you're back from the Dark Side welcome back thank you dude CBF PV says working we watch the live gig we talked about that YouTube just
[00:27:41] did the thing scrolling back up oh boy Lambo Drive zambo saying hi valua says SE see you soon Rampage nice dude you're going to have a blast Cole power says would you still
[00:28:03] hate it if they put just send it on their mailers and packaging yes I would hate it even more take it easy phone I need to print another shipping label out I I have the the
[00:28:17] shipping labels that I print are two up and I I have one printed sitting on the printer so somebody buy something for me I have a lot of stuff that that is decent and it's for sale
[00:28:29] I've got a set of ex 0802 the lightweight ones with the single piece Bell these are HappyModel ex 0802 27,000 KV Motors the the bells say that they're 33,000 KV they're not the Stater
[00:28:45] is 27,000 the bells are from 33,000 KV Motors I took the 33,000 KV Staters and I put them on the Bells from a 27,000 KV motor because those bells have a 1 and a half millimeter motor shaft
[00:29:01] these have a 1 mm motor shaft so don't put these on a 75 millim rig you will wreck these bells pretty quickly these are for a 65mm rig I have a set of these I have a t-motor 1S VTX
[00:29:17] built-in elrs built-in AIO that the where' that go that the VTX it gets dark it gets a little bit dark and then it's normal and then it gets a little bit dark it's totally flyable
[00:29:31] it's just annoying so but other than that it's totally fine it's even got a BT 2.0 plug hooked up to it I flew it freestyle forever but then I built a cinematic rig to chase the RC drift cars
[00:29:44] with it and the and the the the the the video being dark every once in a while was just driving me mad I've got an acon 55 amp 30x30 ESC which has a little bit of electrical no a little bit
[00:29:58] excess electrical noise totally works you just might not be able to get a totally gnarly pit tune on it but it absolutely works and it'll probably never fail but it's just got a
[00:30:13] bunch of electrical noise that was again driving me mad this is a newbie drone DJI 03 conversion kit if you want to make a lightweight 03 VTX I've also got a FR fractal
[00:30:31] 65 Frame with a whole ton of ducts and all the TPU that you would need I've got these little 3mm spacers M3 3mm spacers I got these so that you can crank your front four screws down
[00:30:46] even when you're using a GoPro Mount 3 mm is pretty much the exact thickness of here so you put the the spacer in there and then you put a little washer on top of your M3 screw and then you can
[00:30:58] Hammer your front screws down without worrying about pinching the TPU and ripping the TPU so I've got a ton of these I've got a couple of axis 2306 Motors two perfectly good ones and then
[00:31:11] two perfectly good Staters I've got three of these newbie drone cockroach 65 V3 polycarbonate frames these are the stronger ones that are one gr lighter than the more floppy ones
[00:31:27] I've got a BetaFPV air canopy the little g string canopy I've got a HappyModel 65mm frame with a brand new literally never run set of HappyModel 082 19,000 KV Motors on it I've
[00:31:44] got a BetaFPV M1 VTX and canopy and camera setup this canopy the slightly older canopy bunch of oh I have the the long Mobula 7 screws I've got some m2x
[00:32:13] 12 nope M2 by 9 and then I've got a bunch of m1.2 by 12s the the longer screws needed for the WalkSnail tiny whoops I think that's about everything if if you're if you've been
[00:32:30] talking to me about buying something Now's the Time because I'm about to be out of here for a week and when I get back I'm going to be just exhausted so there's going to be a chunk of time
[00:32:39] that goes by here where I'm not shipping anything so somebody buy something please I'll send it out post haste because I need to print this other shipping label I need an odd number of
[00:32:53] people to buy something from me you can also you can also go over to my Etsy store and there's all kinds of stuff over there whole bunch of really fun stickers and other random things
[00:33:03] shout out to CMYK for sending me a little stack of these amazing new stickers of his absolutely love them they're sitting right here I'm trying to figure out the perfect place to put one
[00:33:15] I also have this shirt which is a large but I don't just want to I don't want you to just buy this shirt whatever just buy this shirt for me I I've it's brand new but it's a large and
[00:33:28] and I swim in larges somebody buy this so that I can buy it in a medium my dad ordered it for me for Christmas in medium but they shipped a large and he didn't notice it and it's
[00:33:40] it's been too long to return it that's what I got friends no I got an extra pin Vie I have one more pin Vie 40 bucks this is the one that I tried to flame treat to make it
[00:33:55] purple and it kind of looks ugly but it's a tool it's going to sit in your toolbox you'll never see it pin Vis are it's they're not all double-ended but this is a double-ended pin Vie
[00:34:07] they're for holding drill bits and in that kit you get a 1.5 excuse me 1.5 mm drill bit and a 099 mm drill bit this will save your fingers and it'll save your Motors whenever you're about to
[00:34:21] put a propeller on you run the propeller down whichever side is appropriate and it opens it up the perfect amount so that you can can put it onto the motor shaft without ruining the motor by
[00:34:30] pushing the the motor shaft down out of the Bell and it also makes it so you can remove the damn thing without your fingers exploding I've sold nine of those pin Vis so far and everybody
[00:34:42] absolutely loves them as do I like I I've been drilling out slightly drilling out propellers forever and it's why I don't ruin many Motors by the the Sha the motor shaft slipping so jbo
[00:34:54] 888 says trying to get the most out of emac transporter goggles any benefit to changing the stock antennas always flying new Mobula 6 would you ever change VTX antenna on the Drone again
[00:35:07] always I pretty much never run stock antennas because they suck in terms of video performance the best thing that you can do is put better antennas on stuff because everything
[00:35:21] that gets shipped out has kind of like the cheapest possible antennas on it so absolutely true RC makes the best antennas their Singularity line of antennas are the lightest weight and
[00:35:33] they're what like all of the long range guys use which says a lot so can't go wrong with true RC Singularity but to be honest like if you change it to anything other than what came with
[00:35:44] it from the factory you're going to get a bump in performance antennas you're not like goggle side antennas you might as well spend the money on because you're not going to break them and you
[00:35:55] can transfer them from these goggles to the next goggles to the next goggles so the try singularities are going to be your your jam for your goggles on the quad you are eventually
[00:36:06] going to break that antenna so sometimes going with a cheaper one isn't a terrible idea at the moment I'm kind of fascinated by the ortt mini V antenna pulling it up real quick here
[00:36:20] for you it's super durable super lightweight and it just works and it's seven bucks which is awesome Singularity antennas are $20 seven bucks is a hell of an is a hell of a
[00:36:34] deal for an ultra lightweight antenna that's going to perform a little bit better than stock definitely get it in the 50 mm length so there you go my friend great question Dan Zilla turbo
[00:36:46] says made you lucky bastard Co power says no we got that timman says have a friend with a new Mobula 6 2024 that won't bind VTX is selected on the same UR as serial RX from the factory could
[00:37:00] that be why it could be why it's like they close their eyes when they're set when when these companies set these these rigs up and send them out it's just beyond belief
[00:37:15] take a screenshot of this and send it to your buddy this is what it should look like this is what the ports tab should look like each Ur you can't you can't have one single UR be both cereal and
[00:37:29] anything else it's either or so here's what you want your ports tab well here's what your friend wants his what the hell that's interesting well this is what his ports
[00:37:44] tab should look like it sounds like it already looks interesting I guess they're doing something different usually you would want that oh why it's because it's because the
[00:37:56] the receiver is on board it's not an external receiver when when it's an external receiver you have to use the the serial Port from that urart to connect to the damn thing but since this
[00:38:07] is an internal I guess I think they're using that wacky op Source VTX thing and I guess they're using I guess the the the VTX is somehow on the serial Port that's interesting
[00:38:22] to bind it's should be super simple though just unplug it and plug it in three times that puts this in into bind mode does it I think I B didn't I bind mine on stream one two three I'm pretty sure I bound mine on
[00:38:49] the live stream so go back to that first mobul of 6 2024 live stream and I think I think I bound it live I forget how I did it Cloud Hopper says my igal motor equipped Jungle Gym build done today 2g4
[00:39:06] mob 6 AO Mobula 7 white V4 frame mob 6 canopy with RunCam Nano V3 wow shaking after two batteries 23.1 grams fly's unbelievable right the the jungle gy Basher is gnarly 0802 27,000
[00:39:22] KV motors with 1.6 in GemFan by blades is a hell of a nomination Kevin T says so what you're saying is it sounds like the Min Millennium Falcon when it passes by pretty much cole power says you
[00:39:34] know those props that come with toys that have a ring of plastic at the edge to prevent laceration any chance they make those for 5 in nobody does but what's interesting is that that
[00:39:46] came up in a discussion over on rug's Channel FPV cycle a while back that would be interesting that would be super interesting Smoking Dog Kujo says what
[00:40:00] an oh then he comments can you fly anything heavier than 250 above people not without a waiver and getting a waiver is a pain in the ass and a lot of times they just say no like to get a
[00:40:15] waiver you're supposed to put it in 90 days ahead of time which is never going to happen no production is ever ready 90 days ahead of time and you're supposed to put it in with like a flight
[00:40:26] plan and all this stuff again that is never available 90 days ahead of time it's like if the the people that I know that have had success getting waivers they are constantly dealing with the FAA
[00:40:41] they're companies like indoor drone tours and a lot of times they have a relationship with someone that works at the FAA and they like call them by name and email them directly and so
[00:40:55] I've it's just it's just kind of unrealistic all that being said I don't necessarily want to be flying something over 250 gram at these events I'm already paranoid enough about making
[00:41:08] a mistake and going down in front of a at these cycling events the the pelaton which is the the main group of riders they are shoulder-to-shoulder and they are on each other's tire and so if
[00:41:23] I go down and that Spooks any one of those people people there is going to be a massive pile up that is my fault and these are athletes and some of them this is their career and they get
[00:41:37] injured and I I do not want to be the reason that one of these athletes gets injured and can't compete for six months with a broken leg or some [@$#%] because I went down in front of them or God forbid
[00:41:50] I actually like full-blown hit them so I I I want to be flying something absolutely as light as possible for just safety reasons as much as I would love the better flight
[00:42:02] performance of a 3inch setup I don't know I I've over the years I've tried my best to look at the brighter side of what I'm doing rather than just like [@$#%] man I wish I had a 3-inch
[00:42:14] rag I'd be so much better I'm trying my best to make lemons from Lemonade Jeremy over says why do you prefer Crossfire basically it's been around longer so it's just had way more time to
[00:42:30] be an established like known quantity also the longer wavelength just from a physics standpoint will travel farther and bounce better and penetrate better and all that stuff it's also easier
[00:42:44] to use right like elrs if it works great if it doesn't work it's a disaster like there's a bunch of different versions of it's just it's a nightmare right like if if I have to rebind
[00:42:58] something on site elrs is is going to be a pain in the ass whereas Crossfire I'm going to hold the button on the on the on the receiver it's going to update the damn thing from the transmitter from the
[00:43:10] the module I should say and life is life is good elrs is just not elrs is not a professional grade product elrs is an open source thing that's way more hobby grade
[00:43:28] they're they're making strides to make it more professional grade and make it easier to use and make it more realistic for those of us that are doing this in situations where we can't just drive
[00:43:39] home to fix it or we can't just pack up and leave right because people are relying on us to perform but it's not really there quite yet but hopefully the
[00:43:53] next version of elrs will be significantly easier use and that will be a big stepping stone for them star Stripes jacket says do you have both receivers on at all times or are
[00:44:07] they switched with something like a pit switch so you can change which one is active I was lazy and I just hooked them both up to five volt pads and they just both run all the time so basically
[00:44:18] the elrs is just always in Wi-Fi mode just blinking green the whole time look it's Kind like one of the things that I go for is just absolute Simplicity the receivers
[00:44:34] don't really seem to burn out all that often if ever because they're receiving right they're not really transmitting and if it's in wonder what it's doing in Wi-Fi mode
[00:44:45] I guess it is Trent but I don't know I I I've I don't think I've ever had a receiver let go on me so just having it on a steady Source plus like I I would have to have like two pits two
[00:44:59] two powered pit channels what I mean I would have to have like one to shut one off and one to shut the other off and I just said to hell with it and just hooked them both up to five
[00:45:08] volt and just let them run all the time Frank Nicholas says DJI RC Pro charging while in use is absolutely possible just need the correct split cable mentioned that before that's right
[00:45:20] that's right I forgot you mentioned that Frank I think I'm going to go coso streamer though just because it's like a third of the price and having to clip one of the wires on
[00:45:37] the goggle cable I guess is not that big of a deal when when it came right down to it I talked to a whole bunch of the other guys that are flying live and they are now all flying on Cosmo streamers and
[00:45:49] they've had a lot of really good stuff to say the one guy that flies king of hammers was on a cosmo streamer for like I forget what he said I think he said like 10 hours a day for like five days
[00:46:01] straight or something and he was like the ca my streamer hung up hung in there really really well so I'll probably do that but we'll see there are pluses and minuses to to
[00:46:15] either side and it and it's hard to kind of pick but I don't know it's I don't know test says have you ever thought about creating your own solution yes theilla turble says I still want a
[00:46:34] pizza and a pineapple lanyard off you you can print me that label nice nice nice nice danzel can you do me a huge favor and shoot me a message somewhere anywhere with your address and just tell me those
[00:46:48] lanyards and you got it I'll send them out tomorrow dizilla says I'll take the 3mm spacers too cool make me a list let me know what you need I'll shoot him out to you Jeremy overes
[00:47:00] says is it possible to connect that AIO to an external VTX which aiio are you talking about to an external VTX what's that AO the Mobula 6 2024 if you're talking
[00:47:29] about this the answer is no apparently they use the same power source for elrs and the VTX so you cannot run this on an external VTX dog what are you doing are you
[00:47:44] talking about this t-motor AIO maybe there needs to be pads on here there needs to be a way of disabling the VTX and so usually what they'll do is they'll have two pads next to each other that they
[00:48:03] Bridge with solder and I am not seeing that anywhere on here I am not seeing that anywhere on here so you would want to message t-motor somewhere and say is
[00:48:23] there a way to set this up but it doesn't look like it doesn't look like there is cuz you need to like cut power to the VTX otherwise it's going to get too hot without an antenna with an
[00:48:32] antenna not hooked up to it how did why am I scrolled too high that's a first Frank says or USBC Hub with power in and video out is that a
[00:49:00] thing how would that work USB hub with power in and video out power in and video out so so they make USB hubs that have HDMI in and HDMI out that's pretty interesting why would they do
[00:49:22] that what other use other than what we're doing I I guess maybe it puts power into the HDMI line that's interesting frankic says correct cable requires no clip of wire on the
[00:49:38] cosmo streamer that's news to me I I've very recently talked to a bunch of the guys that are doing it and they all said that you still have to clip the wire that's super interesting that would
[00:49:50] be great that that would make the situation even easier it also the the cosmo streamer themselves also have said that very recently like I think it was maybe 3 weeks ago so jbo 888
[00:50:05] says thanks man but it still con but it still confuses are are Singularity the same as linear no Singularity is a CP or circular polarized antenna any circular
[00:50:23] polarized antenna is going to give you better performance than linear but the singularities are like a really good really well-tuned circular polarized antenna does omnidirectional not work
[00:50:34] with the linear so omnidirectional refers to antennas that shoot 360 Degrees linear antennas are omnidirectional CP antennas are also omnidirectional pretty much no I was
[00:50:53] going to say pretty much all antennas other than patching antennas are omnidirectional but that's not true because there's others there's different versions of patch antennas so
[00:51:07] but most antennas are omnidirectional if N I was going to say if if the antenna looks like it would shoot 360 it does but that's not necessarily true some of the antennas don't necessarily look one
[00:51:19] way or the other but CP is what you want circular polarized antenna that's where you're going to get a performance inre crease versus L standard Whip or linear antennas Greer says I think you're
[00:51:33] currently recommending the Mobula 7 75mm V4 frames what are your thoughts on the Newbie drone cockroach 75 frame very very fragile the the the plus of the Cockroach 75 frame is it comes with a
[00:51:47] carbon fiber brace so if you're going to use it for something like my tiny lifters like a cinematic type platform that you're not going to really crash it's going to work for any kind of
[00:51:58] freestyle work you don't want the Cockroach 75 you're going to break them all over the place they are very different than the Cockroach 65 V3 frame in that respect the the the the 65 V3
[00:52:10] frame is super durable they're made of different Plastics which is the the deal Jeremy says okay we got there brand Anderson thank you Curtis Hayes says my new Mobula 8 rolls to the left in Acro I
[00:52:27] disabled the accelerometer because I couldn't get it to do Acro otherwise how to troubleshoot take rolls to the left in Acro like when does it roll to the left in Acro all the
[00:52:43] time or when you Hammer the throttle or when you chop the throttle or disabled the accelerometer CU I couldn't get it to do otherwise I mean you can just put it on a switch you can
[00:52:58] have a switch that goes from Horizon mode to like not Horizon mode or from Acro mode to not Acro mode when when there is no when when when you have a switch which has like Horizon and then
[00:53:11] nothing nothing is Acro or Acro I'm sorry angle rather and nothing so as long as you don't have a switch that's set in a position that's activating either angle mode or mode
[00:53:27] than it is in Acro and you don't have to you don't have to totally disable the accelerometer in that case so for but if it's one of the easiest things for you to do if it's rolling to
[00:53:42] the left take both left side Motors and put them on the right side and take the right side Motors and put them on the left and then if it starts rolling to the right the motors are the problem it
[00:53:50] probably won't it'll probably keep rotating to the left and that'll just that'll that's the beginning of the troubleshoot that's the easiest and quickest thing to
[00:53:59] do Adam won says just emailed you to buy the Aon ESC and a few other small things awesome thank you dude Denzel the treble says couldn't you just solder a matching spec power source in place of
[00:54:13] the DJI controller battery probably but exactly as you just said mind you that would mean opening a $1,200 controller I ain't playing that game doubles FPV says love my Mobula 6 for
[00:54:25] indoor outdoor and getting my kids into whoops awaiting the 2024 but need more and can't find any elrs Mobula 6 or mobus 7s anywhere recommendations on Alternate
[00:54:37] options there are none the closest that we've got are the BetaFPV cross style aios and then you have to run an external VTX which sucks but that's really the only other option that's the
[00:54:51] only other a that's even remotely durable and so it's a it's a grim situation with tiny whoops right now and there's about a billion pre-orders on the Mobula 6 20124 so
[00:55:06] they probably and also there is a worrying amount of broken Mobula 6 2024's within the first like five batteries so keep your eyes peeled for the old school mobul 6 2g4 a I and if you
[00:55:27] see him pop up anywhere just buy them so it is before 11 o' and I'm caught up on chat what a what a strange time to be alive first thing we're going to do is I'm going to try to figure out why the
[00:55:46] hell this thing keeps dropping an arm I think I'm pretty sure I remember this just kind of randomly dropping an arm I don't remember which arm I don't remember when it was
[00:55:59] doing it but I'm going to hook this up put it into ESC configurator docomo Blue Jay is on it hook it up to BetaFlight see if there's anything weird in there and then I'll go out and fly
[00:56:13] it again probably not until Rampage but that's okay and we'll see what's happening with it this is an AOS 3.5 the the OG version the the version one and apparently it's a prototype so it's
[00:56:25] a super super super early AOS 35 so let's get it into BetaFlight let me grab a 4S battery here's one oh man I forgot I had these little g&b 550s I don't think they make these
[00:56:51] anymore all right cool so let's go into ESC configurator first because the whole dropping an arm thing typically has nothing to do with BetaFlight that is typically an ESC
[00:57:09] issue ah I've got rabies I can't there we go all right for the record don't don't do this with props on matter of fact I'm gonna put this 4S battery back and I'm going to grab a 3s battery cuz
[00:57:25] if it decides to go nothing so I would rather it try to chew my face off with a 3s battery rather than a 4S but don't be stupid like me take the props off I'm gonna I'm gonna stay back
[00:57:40] from it so if it does go nutso it doesn't eat my face okay failed reading ESC 4 not off to a Good Start maybe we are maybe maybe the the ESC ate itself
[00:58:03] and I just have to replace it right try this again failed reading ESC 4 I'll bet you that's the side that it was dropping out on let's power cycle it oh I guess maybe it's could this be
[00:58:28] BL Holly 32 usually it'll say something different than that interesting let's try B 32 where the hell is it there it is I think this is BL 32 come to thing it is isn't it
[00:58:56] we're going to connect and then we are going to come on it is BL hly 32 look at that well that pretty much eliminates I was kind of hoping that it had blue jay 0.19 on it and I could put it on the
[00:59:18] blue j16 which tends to fix arm drop issues but no well think there is a newer version so there is 32.10329 so I mean I guess I'll flash it just for the sake of doing
[00:59:41] it but this isn't going to fix anything wow that's slow good lord well that gives me time to get the gangly fan out this thing does have walks down in it so it is going to get a little hot
[00:59:55] let's let's get this going here all right good Lord why is it so slow to flash holy crap all right we are gangly Fanning there we go all right that'll keep WalkSnail cool
[01:00:20] I didn't even bother to read the release notes on 32. 10 BL 3210 let's see see if there's anything interesting here fix problem with screenshot function version number
[01:00:41] adapted added manual added support for extended dshot Telemetry temperature voltage current data now available over bidirectional dshot signal oh that's pretty cool reduce ESC and motor
[01:00:56] stresses during stall conditions okay that could be good time out before sh shutting off power is reduced added protection against unintentional spool UPS that's a good thing input signal
[01:01:09] is qualified before starting during the first 5 Seconds of running signal timeout is only 30 milliseconds versus generally 320 Jesus input signal loss does not lead to
[01:01:21] new detection of signal type I don't know what that means unless input line is held I don't know what that means so when changing input signal type oh I get it ESC must be power cycled for
[01:01:33] it to take effect some small changes to make thrust versus RPM more linear primarily for static quasi static load conditions improved and now functional temperature production for at
[01:01:48] MCU some smaller fixes all right I don't understand much of that but welcome to FPV lots of [@$#%] you don't have any shot of understanding but if you can pick
[01:02:04] up a couple of things you're doing pretty good Cloud Hopper sent me an email about the T-shirt very cool Smoking Dog Kujo says are you family with the red fox A1 AIO used in the sub 250 whoop fly
[01:02:24] 16 am I family oh familiar am I familiar no I've never heard of it I hate AOS so I don't I don't really pay much attention to them take a look at it here though since it's taking this forever to flash good
[01:02:48] Lord oh my God are you kidding me has plugs blue J 42 688 gyro that's the worst of the Gyros it's kind of works but I mean you really can't tell anything from the specs on these like it it's
[01:03:24] it's either going to work or it's going to explode and most of the AI most of the tiny whoop aios explode so it's super super super hard the the thing that matters with
[01:03:38] tiny whoop aios is how durable they are and none of the specs tell that story you have to just find somebody that crashes a lot and ask them how many hundreds of crashes it's been through
[01:03:52] all right so we're on 3210 let's come back here to esc7 up we've got pwm low at 24 sorry guys we got pwm low at 24 high at 48 Beacon delay 2 minutes start up beep volume
[01:04:05] nice and quiet there's really nothing there's nothing out of the ordinary here I could technically crank up the ramp up power and that might help I guess I'll give it a little bit more
[01:04:18] but like you don't want to be I I I don't know I'm not a proponent of like band-aiding stuff for an ESC that's dropping an arm and it's about to like fully fall out of the sky so I'm
[01:04:32] not going to go ballistic on a bunch of stuff here if it continues to drop an arm I'm going to take it out and I'm going to replace it with something else all right so we got that let's get
[01:04:46] it into BetaFlight now and see if there's anything that we can see thank you gangly fan for your excellent work as always look at this beautiful thing Douglas otwell what a goddamn Chad as the kids
[01:05:05] say you could win your own gangly fan join my patreon and get in on the first Monday of every month giveaways the Super Chat giveaway every month has one of these in there you could
[01:05:20] win okay I did not get much sleep last night but I did not take a nap today which is why I'm exhausted because I need to get my sleep schedule fixed because I have to
[01:05:35] be on site Thursday at 6 7 a.m. so next couple of days I'm going to be very tired but whatever that's how you fix your sleep schedule you it's not about when you go to bed it's about
[01:05:46] when you wake up and staying awake all right BetaFlight to BetaFlight I'm not going to find anything but I'm going to do a couple little Band-Aid things like turning up
[01:06:00] the idol to see if I can make the situation a little bit better from but from what I remember it was a pretty violent arm drop hell there's even a blackbox log in here so I'll log it next
[01:06:14] time but for now I'm going to get rid of this log because God only knows what is in there so it's on BetaFlight 4.3 kind of tempted to update it to 4.5 because betaBetaFlight
[01:06:31] 4.5 puts the RPM data into the into the blackbox file so let's let's Wipe Out the blackbox and then we will I think I'm going to put this on to 4.5 what the
[01:06:53] hell so I'll show you guys how to do I I'll show you guys the the slightly sketchy way to do it which involves doing backups and diffs and all that fun stuff but BetaFlight now gives you a way of
[01:07:08] doing sort of like a backup on the Fly here so It'll ask you when you're about to update it but you go in here to presets and there's a little button here that says save backup so you hit that
[01:07:21] button oh this might be too BetaFlight 4.3 might be too old pick where you want it to save to save it and now let's see if that works no it's all there cool so
[01:07:33] basically what this is doing is it's just making a diff this is what the CLI has in it when you do diff when you type diff and I'm going to show you that in a second so I like to do it both
[01:07:44] of these ways I have done I've done that before and the backup file has nothing in it so to be it takes one more second you come into this C and you type D it's short
[01:07:59] for difference and it gives you all of the things that are different from stock and then so you're at the bottom here click next to the last character you you can't just click out here like with
[01:08:13] every other program you have to you have to get the the cursor to show up so just grab it by the last zero and then you're going to highlight like you can just highlight everything but
[01:08:24] come up here and then just copy it and now it's in the clipboard and now it's safe and so now we can go into update firmware CL racing F7 4.5 we want dshot motor protocol
[01:08:42] crsf and now we're going to hit load firmware online it loads it and now watch when you hit flash firmware it gives you the the the popup that says flashing new firmware will wipe out all
[01:08:54] your settings we strongly recommend you save a backup so you can just hit the create backup button here but I've already done that so I can click the ignore the risk
[01:09:02] button so the the one thing that you lose and I am actually going to have to remove the props here one of the things that does not come over in the diff file is any motor Direction changes
[01:09:17] that you've made so I am going to have to pull the props off this that'll give me a chance to spin these motors up and see if they're all rattly and horrible so not the end of the
[01:09:27] world having to remove these propellers Co power says do you think we need to make a motor Dyno for FPV quads where you take the prop off lock it to the stand and a predictable load
[01:09:43] is driven at a different RPM like dinos for cars but for drones drones Cole check out Chris Rosser he's done exactly that he's done it with a flywheel a very heavy flywheel and so
[01:09:57] in all of Chris's motor testing he has he uses it to test response time and it's really interesting people in the comments though have pointed out some inconsistencies in the results so he's
[01:10:15] using a big heavy flywheel which is significantly more draggy than the amount than like when you have an actual propeller on it so there's a chance that the the data that he's collecting
[01:10:29] there is not really accurate so he's stressing the motors more than they would be in in real world conditions and so things like motor heat could become a problem if he's testing two Motors and
[01:10:46] one of them is a significantly smaller Stater because his flywheel is asking for more than what we would get from a propeller the smaller motor which is unable to shed heat as efficiently as a
[01:11:03] bigger motor could overheat in his test Dyno setup and that could give that could in his testing it's could show worse performance than in the real world so
[01:11:16] it's not doing that is is extremely difficult but cuz how the hell do you figure out how much momentum a propeller ripping through the air has right so it's a
[01:11:34] super interesting engineering challenge Chris Rosser in my opinion is the the the smartest engineer that we've got in FPV he's certainly the smartest engineer that we have with any kind of a YouTube
[01:11:49] presence right I'm sure there's someone else somewhere that flies FPV that's smarter but they don't have a channel where they're helping other people out helping the whole Community
[01:11:57] out so the way that Chris chose to figure that challenge out is probably damn good so it's probably a hell of a difficult thing to sort of figure out all right so we are good to go
[01:12:16] accelerometer is not calibrated let's take care of that real quick put this flat on the dough okay so let's so as you can see it is upside down right now but it's not upside down on the desk so
[01:12:29] let's get the backup loaded in here first so we can just go to presets and then there's a button right next to save backup that says load backup and this is the seal racing F7 so
[01:12:43] it's this file we're going to hit open and it's going to automatically pull that diff in now I don't have to do it in the CLI which is just kind of nice but always look for this warning
[01:12:53] configuration has been applied with CLI errors if you scroll down you're looking for red text and you just want to read it so after the set mag Hardware equals num none it says error in set
[01:13:08] invalid name mag Hardware so basically it is not going to set the mag Hardware To None next we've got set barometer Hardware equals none so it's basically not going to set the barometer To None
[01:13:22] that's fine keep scrolling set OSD warning RSSI equals on so it's not going to set it to on that's fine set OSD warning link quality to on it's not going to do that that's fine
[01:13:35] you just want to read through these and make sure that they're not important things [@$#%] with the OSD who cares you can do it manually set OSD stat timer one stat timer 2 max speed Min battery
[01:13:45] end battery blackbox these are all after you fly items that pop up in the OSD this is totally fine don't care about any of this set OSD set OSD set OSD set OSD set OSD good to go set
[01:14:02] name equals seiti error in set invalid name that's fine I don't need it to have Ciotti in there I'll type it in by myself set anti-gravity gain to five to five the allowed R in in the old this is
[01:14:17] what happens like like behind the scenes all right so in this example anti-gravity gain in previous versions of BetaFlight the the window was 1,000 to 10,000 I think so in but in when you
[01:14:34] looked at it in BetaFlight it was just single numbers five in my case I had anti-gravity set to five but behind the scenes in the CLI that five value was actually 5,000 now in the newer version
[01:14:46] of BetaFlight instead of having that weird 1,000 to 10,000 or whatever the hell it was range they've changed the range to 0 to 250 50 you can see that by the fact that it says the allowed range
[01:14:59] is 0 to 250 so previous versions of BetaFlight this was a value that was okay it says error invalid value because it's out of range the new allowed range is 0 to 250 so it's just not going to do
[01:15:12] anything and what that means is it's going to have the default anti-gravity gain setting and the default anti-gravity gain setting is perfect and it works really really well that that
[01:15:22] 5,000 or a value of five was the old school default anti-gravity that worked really well so this is totally fine when you get this red text what you want to understand is that the
[01:15:33] item right above it nothing's going to happen so if the item right above it is important then you need to go in and manually set it if it's not important if it's like OSD [@$#%] whatever or if it's
[01:15:46] like this you don't have to worry about it but you got to look for this red text because it could be something important it could be something dangerous there's another anti-gravity game
[01:15:55] one and you just read them and they make some semblance of sense there used to be Pro rate profiles four and five now there is not error and rate profile outside of range now there's only three
[01:16:06] of them so this is fine so we're good to go save anyway it's very important to read through those and they usually make sense so you'll be all right and now that we've loaded the
[01:16:18] back up the quad is now right side up so we still want to check it though nose down nose up roll left roll right yall left yall right so we're good to go there and now we're still going to go
[01:16:30] through everything because just do it I'm surprised I don't have the ESC Telemetry coming back up whatever it's kind of worthless anyway it's on WalkSnail so there's no wacky VTX
[01:16:46] table selected in here and then we've got I've got WalkSnail and US art one which you can see by the configuration MSP switch being hit and then the receiver is on Ur 6 so we're fine
[01:16:59] configuration the barometer and the magnetometer are both turned off which is great that's the default value one of the things was the it didn't like my name so I have to physically type
[01:17:11] this in God forbid everything else looks good here other than the OSD being turned off that's weird wait no I don't need to turn that no I do need to turn it on
[01:17:22] that's strange that that was turned off I wonder what that's about this is why you have to check this stuff don't just throw your diff into it and assume that everything is good
[01:17:31] I'm going to permanently enable air mode I I used to have air mode set up on a switch but I never end up hitting the switch if anything I would hit the switch by accident and I would wonder
[01:17:40] why the quad is flying so bad so I'm just putting it on by default all the time now Nathan notis says doesn't motor diff stick with the ESC info
[01:17:55] the the ESC has motor directions built into it but BetaFlight also has motor directions built into it and it's easier just to use it in BetaFlight and we're going to do it in a minute I'll show you
[01:18:06] that Power and Battery I mean it just pulled it over from the other one it's fine fail say fine presets fine it's in theory there was already let's just throw this on
[01:18:21] here we're going to go cinematic and we're going to go serial separate receiver and pick I've probably already done this but just for the sake of making sure it's in
[01:18:36] there pit tuning let's take a look at where the tunes wow very very laidback tune on here let's give a little bit more Dain and a little bit less P Andi gain let's give it a
[01:18:51] little bit more dmax and then we are going to turn the Advance on but I'm going to turn the gain down a little bit these are kind of confusing I don't want to try to dive
[01:18:59] into them and explain them motor output limit is 100% Dynamic idle is already up at 35 so I guess I'll do 40 I'm not really willing to go any higher than that because it's I I actually
[01:19:13] really like the dynamic idle down at like 30 or 25 but since we're trying to Band-Aid this I'll I'll suck it up and try 40 for a little bit thrust linearization is at a value of 10
[01:19:23] nothing's looking weird nothing's looking like oh there's the problem no throttle Expo Set filters look pretty kind of standard nothing crazy in here nothing's really jumping out at me
[01:19:42] I think the the ESC is just on its way out from what I remember this is the ESC that I used to have in the ACR brat which I oh no it's not no it's not this is a speedex GS 25
[01:19:55] which is which used to be a great ESC but I've put a ton of batteries through the ones that I got before they stopped being manufactured so it might just be old and
[01:20:05] moldy this all looks fine arm is here Horizon mode beeper blackbox flip over after crash this this flight controller you have to have this weird user one thing set up I don't
[01:20:29] know it's strange launch controls there this all looks pretty standard nothing too crazy here Motors this is where we actually need to do something let's hook up a battery and
[01:20:42] I'll show you where you can reverse your motor Direction inside of BetaFlight it is just so handy it's right here motor well let's make sure that the motors are in the right spots they
[01:20:52] should be but let's just double check confirm motor one right rear yep motor 2 right front left rear they were correct left front so that's fine save that and now we're going to go
[01:21:07] into back in there and then we're going to do motor Direction I understand the risks wizard start and spin and now it spins all the motors so you just touch the motor Bell and see what directions
[01:21:19] is spinning what do I have this set up for props out so motor one is correct motor 2 is incorrect click it and that'll reverse it now motor 2 is correct motor 3 is incorrect click it to
[01:21:31] reverse it motor 4 is correct double check motor 3 it is now correct good to go stop Motors that saves it close now you're good to go now you've reordered your motor Direction within betaf
[01:21:44] flight rather than having to go back into BL H 32 and do it in there 14 magnets on the motor well now we also want to unplug the battery so that we're not having the WalkSnail
[01:21:56] sit there banging away motor poles 14 that could be the problem so on micro Motors sometimes they only have 12 I'm going to count so let me find a starting point here okay the a in axis is
[01:22:14] magnet number one so you just want to count the magnets so we've got one 2 3 4 five six 7 8 9 10 11 12 probably not the problem but it could be motor poles was set incorrectly
[01:22:39] I have had the motor poles number set incorrectly for hundreds of batteries before and there's been no ill effects whatsoever but you never know there's no reason to leave that set
[01:22:54] wrong it's easy to count to either 12 or 14 okay so this is all good I'm going to hook the battery back up because I want to see how healthy these motors are or aren't the way that you do that is
[01:23:05] you just hold the quad in your hand with the props off and you spin each individual motor up you come down here I understand the risks and you just grab the motor most most of the vibrations
[01:23:17] are going to happen around 1300 so right in here well actually I have a 3s battery on here so I got to go a little bit higher but you'll feel it so just move it up and down move it
[01:23:29] up and down move it up and down and you'll feel when it vibrates the most that that that motor is pretty quiet oh man this motor is super super smooth motor 3 was touching me that was
[01:23:41] jarring this one's very smooth as well motor 4 is the noisiest but it's still not that bad so these motors are healthy enough so so if this thing keeps dropping an arm it's
[01:23:56] absolutely an ESC issue that's all good to go OSD what are you looking like looking it's HD OSD so it looks super weird in here but should be fine in theory I'll see next time I fly
[01:24:15] it there's nothing in here because it's digital tethered nothing blackbox JY Guild quarter okay so we're good that's pretty much everything in BetaFlight I mean that that is like
[01:24:31] 8/10 of a full BetaFlight setup but Ma that's not actually what I was doing I was just sort of looking for problems but when you're looking for problems look everything look at
[01:24:43] everything so I don't know I'll fly it again we'll see what's what I wouldn't be surprised if this ESC is shot I've had a couple of these speedix GS 25s do this
[01:24:54] and need to be retired so that's probably what's going on but we'll give it one more shot and see what's up I'll bring it to Rampage and batter the living hell out of it if the ESC goes
[01:25:04] that's fine I'll swap it out I need to pull this thing apart anyway because I'm going to switch this off of WalkSnail back to a Vista so if the ESC is gone it's not the end of the world so
[01:25:16] AOS 35 ready to go to Rampage well I guess I should put propellers on it and that usually helps with General flight characteristics star Stripes jacket says you should enable MSP plus display
[01:25:33] port in the peripheral drop down to the port section for the VTX how the hell's the how's the how's the OSD working without that maybe the OSD isn't
[01:25:44] working that's weird I bet you the OSD isn't working maybe I'll fire the WalkSnail goggles up just to make sure put this propeller on first though star stps jacket says
[01:26:04] that's the way it's supposed to be done as of bet flight 4.4 for the HDD oh maybe that's why maybe maybe on 4.3 it was different what I think it was I think
[01:26:17] I might not have had OSD on this because back in 4.3 I think you couldn't even get the HD OSD so let's get that fixed and while I'm at it I'm going to grab a let me show you something
[01:26:33] really cool if you get if you have one rig where your OSD is set up perfectly no reason to ever do it again I'm going to show you how to pull the OSD data out of the CLI so that you can just drop it
[01:26:44] into all of your other rigs so let me think about this for a second I guess I don't have no I do I do have a WalkSnail rig with the OSD that I want and it's sitting right here
[01:27:11] so this will work this is weird pulling OSD off of a tiny whoop and putting it onto a real quad all right so here's what you do connect toBetaFlight
[01:27:25] wonder why it's not working for a second click it again click it a third time quit out of BetaFlight relaunch BetaFlight wonder why it's taking so long to fire up click connect one more time patch
[01:27:47] yourself on the back for a job well done why is the I didn't think it had it doesn't oh it does have black box let's erase the Black Box real quick here these little tiny WalkSnail light
[01:28:08] vtx's overheat in like 30 seconds but if you blow on them it's unbelievable the difference it makes it does not need much air flow it just needs a little bit of air flow all
[01:28:19] right so you're going to come into the CLI and you're going to type diff dff and then you're going to scroll up a little bit and there's going to be all these items in a row that say set OSD all you got to
[01:28:32] do is highlight all of them copy them and you guessed it paste them onto the other rig and that's it that'll transfer your OSD from one to the other plug the other rig
[01:28:48] in Connect come to the CLI paste it and look out for red text red text means something didn't translate over and then type save and that's it my OSD has been moved from the
[01:29:02] one to the other now I need to go into ports ur1 is where the configuration MSP switch is turned on so I'm going to come off to the right to peripherals I'm going to come in here and we need MSP
[01:29:15] plus display port right because look MSP turned on MSP plus display port it's the only option here that has MSP in it so that's where you need to be on Save and reboot and now you're good to go should
[01:29:31] be OSD on here hell I can even I probably have the I have it set up for the so let me do this as well I'll do my cool little OSD off and on with a switch set
[01:29:46] up ox2 you go into adjustments you enable it you go aux 2 or whichever which whichever aux channel the switch is is going to be on where you want to switch your different OSD profiles
[01:29:58] you open the full range and then for the then apply you choose OSD profile selection via Channel whatever that same aux channel was and you save it and now whatever that switch is will switch
[01:30:12] between three different OSD profiles one two and three here the different columns so what I have set up is the top two switch positions have all the OSD elements but but then the third switch
[01:30:25] position has no OSD elements other than warnings at the why the hell is warnings turned off on warnings you turn on all three so it'll give you BetaFlight don't be like
[01:30:41] that the OSD is is a little buggy in BetaFlight sometimes let's see if it saved it did not save why is it showing disarmed I I hate that that's turned on where's the no I don't want
[01:30:59] disarmed I don't need you to tell me when I'm disarmed I know when I'm disarmed because I flipped the switch to disarm it let's move it down here all right cool save
[01:31:14] that that is really crooked hold on there we go that's a little better save that and all is right with the world I could technically change like the the the postflight St I'll do it battery
[01:31:32] current draw maximum that's a nice one battery mahu that's a good one battery voltage that's a good one voltage minimum that's a good one ESC RPM maximum that's a really nice one ESC
[01:31:42] temperature maximum that's another good one link quality minimum good one RSSI minimum good one timer one cool save that and this guy is all set to go let me throw those WalkSnail goggles
[01:31:56] on and I'll see if I've got OSD in here I should I don't see why not I wish I hadn't put that one propeller on but should be okay 3s battery what what what's the Worst That
[01:32:15] Could Happen really wish I hadn't said that all right come on now just show me the OSD and then I can unplug the battery wow look at that oh the firmware is out of
[01:32:34] date the the OSD is in color that's pretty cool all right well I have to update the firmware on this that sucks balls especially because I don't necessarily remember how to do it let me check
[01:32:49] the version of the firmware on here so menu I think it's in settings right settings device device info okay goggles firmware 34405 4015 okay 4015
[01:33:25] 40.5 all right so we are going to go to let's just search for WalkSnail firware I think there's a website WalkSnail . apppp firmware although there's also this
[01:33:46] cadx page so let's open them both up because I haven't done this in so long that I kind of forget so I am on Goggle firmware 4015 let's see how far behind I am 4015 wow I'm pretty far behind
[01:34:07] huh do not fly Jesus so I am oh I still have race mode though good I'm not GNA update I want to start playing around with race mode actually is there anything really all that
[01:34:23] that interesting I think ever since this all these are like goggles X stuff bug fix new feature wallpaper don't care update upgrade progress bar couldn't care any less real time clock don't care
[01:34:39] Moonlight camera don't care Avatar V2 don't care wait what support Avatar V2 dual antenna V I don't have one of those that's fine ISO
[01:34:52] mod 2D oh that's kind of oh well that's in the Moonlight that's in the Moonlight see no these this is all [@$#%] for the for the their new stuff I don't have any of their new
[01:35:04] stuff man some of this stuff might fix the problem of exposure change in manual mode oh but see that might be Moonlight I'm not updating I don't care okay so
[01:35:22] 4015 is that what I said 40.5 okay so we're going to click the arrow and then we are going to pretty sure it's VTX that I want but let me just double check Recon release
[01:35:36] notes goggles V1 vrx VT okay so we're going to download the VTX firmware and here we go so it's a IMG [@$#%] how do I do it how do I do it's a do I plug it in is there a is there a
[01:36:04] USB plug on it no there's the stupid little jst plug though I think there's a isn't there a jst plug to USB cable there is hopefully I put it in this little goggle case if I
[01:36:23] didn't put it in here I've have no idea where I put it and I'm going to be in a world of pain so let's see there it is oh I have two of them look at me go because I think they use two
[01:36:39] different plugs because screw your users just do crazy [@$#%] all the time just just do weird stuff all the time without realizing that actual people are going to have to try to
[01:36:57] figure this out okay so yeah one of these is big one of these is small this is the small one for the little light vtx's this is the big one for this big boy so I think what I do is just drag the
[01:37:14] image file over onto the this will Mount as a hard drive and then I just drag it over and then I think I like like power cycle it I'm going to have to look it up though cuz I I'm sure that
[01:37:28] you don't just drag it over I'm sure that there's some other step you might have to like hold the button I think maybe I need to hold the button does anybody in chat know has anybody updated
[01:37:38] walks snail firmware recently or has anyone just typed it into Google real quick and Google is just like this is what you do dummy I'll do that in a minute but I know that you have to put the image file
[01:37:50] onto the onto the thing drag it in hold the buttons for eight seconds until the red turn light turns red you do that when the when you power it on right you drag it over
[01:38:02] first here's that 3s battery so here we go we're going to plug this in I am going to get the gangly fan ready because this does take time all right so we
[01:38:20] are gangling wow I did not think I'd be working on this rig for this long good God all right powering up and now I should see it pop up on the desktop I said I should see it pop up on
[01:38:42] the desktop there it is and oh look at all these files on there what oh this could be a clue as to I guarantee you this will tell me what's going wrong with
[01:38:55] it so I'll pull these off of there six gigs that'll take a minute all right so let's get caught up on chat while we're waiting for this county FPV says I just put 0.16 blue
[01:39:14] J on my 65 to 75 swap build should I enable by directional dshot am on 300 yes always always enable B directional dshot because that allows you to run RPM filtering which is
[01:39:24] brilliant Cole power says hdsd is new as of 4.4 I thought so you could still get SD OSD with MSP plus display port very cool oh my God it's still estimating time remaining come onjust start
[01:39:42] copying what are you doing copy the files you donkey what oh there it goes wow that was slow County FV says the 6575 swap has 1102 22,000 KV and when fully charged when fully charged battery
[01:40:09] the motor Jitter and the voltage is not being read correctly when it's below 4 volts when it's below four volts it starts up and reads fine
[01:40:27] uh huh and this started when you did the swap I'm going to assume fully charged battery mode gener voltage not being read correctly oh oh okay so it's thinks it's a it thinks
[01:40:52] it's a two aspect battery so when when you fully charge a b tiny whoop batteries are all high volt right 4.35 volts versus 4.2 volts so your I I can't show you but in the
[01:41:07] battery tab there is a maximum voltage field and currently it's probably set to like 4.25 volts move it up to like 4.4 volts that way if you overcharge the oh that's going to get
[01:41:23] really old really fast wow it's going to take an hour to copy this that ain't happening why what the hell oh boy what the hell's going on here what is this [@$#%] what is going
[01:41:59] on oh [@$#%] is this battery that I just dragg this battery down to Chinatown [@$#%] I think I just oh this is only a 2S battery oh I think I just annihilated this battery's face hang
[01:42:17] on hang on no .7 it's fine maybe the WalkSnail just doesn't like 2S voltage Let's let's hook up a battery that can do some actual damage 4S going on here we go please
[01:42:43] don't spin up that one motor and eat me you need the the maximum voltage setting in your in there to be correct let's just try to copy one file see how that
[01:42:59] does there we go about a minute all right cool interesting I I did not know that about the this is the fullsize WalkSnail I guess the lower end on the voltage is I mean it's still it's it
[01:43:11] it was there it was kind of working that's wild that it was like it wasn't getting enough juice and it was still somehow working but it was all slow that's like the most that's the
[01:43:22] most like how do I say this without being totally obnoxious dumb people you know what I mean like dumb people think that like like if if you showed that to a dumb person you
[01:43:39] were like this battery is lower voltage and it's going slower they'd be like of course if you give it More Voltage of course it'll go faster what I
[01:43:50] mean and in this case they'd be right unbelievably although now it's taking forever come on now let me go get a 6S battery I'll hook that up and it'll go even
[01:44:08] faster here we go let's get the rest of these files off of here and now that I power cycled it's going to stop beeping and [@$#%] Co power says you should make a 5.2
[01:44:23] mm Barrel plug to XT60 pigtail super useful for powering charger gear from wall warts and even power the quad on the bench without a battery I actually have one of those I use it on the
[01:44:32] charger to charge up the the barrel plug batteries I could hook that I could actually hook that right up to the toolkit RC adjustable power supply I have over here but I've
[01:44:47] already got it going I never thought of that the plugs different no did it just no wny did the device disappear don't disappear you jerk off what are you doing is it this [@$#%]
[01:45:04] plug I've heard that these plugs are a pain in the ass what the hell man wny you Dismount let's try this again oh something's happening I didn't get the second set of beeps maybe I just
[01:45:32] over discharge this battery ah [@$#%] I did God damn it hold on let me get this battery on the charger [@$#%] hell don't die battery come back to walk towards the
[01:45:55] light you [@$#%] oh the first cell is down no no no no hold on let me try to jump start it back to life right now okay little buddy please be okay please be
[01:46:25] okay live live yes all right charger's going to charge it here we go okay I'll bet you I'll bet you I've done that before with that battery okay here we go
[01:46:55] I bet you I've used that battery on the bench like this before and that's why it's was it was already so low it's probably ruined though okay let's try this one more
[01:47:14] time you son of a [@$#%] oh my God why are you being so flaky replace apply to all replace all right come on now come on nowI gotta I I got to pee I gotta pee here hold
[01:47:43] on listen to the listen to the sweet sounds of 5 in Quad through a Hero 5 session five rather the the if if you're not familiar the the microphone on the session five is like the best
[01:47:59] we've ever had I'll give you straight audio hold on oh w just bought this house you want to come check it out and smash quad into all my trees and eat them sure why
[01:49:56] not the sweet sounds of 5 in it's done copying what do I do now wait no leave the battery plugged in and I think what we do is we open this up I can delete these which is
[01:50:09] terrific and then I'm going to copy this IMG file over directly to the directly to the WalkSnail VTX and it copied and so now we can eject it pull
[01:50:26] power and I believe now is when I hold the button down how do I up date firm where on WalkSnail btx I think I hold the I think I power hold the button down power it up wait eight
[01:50:51] seconds it'll do a little blinky thing to update the firmare walk press and hold the small button until the V I don't want vrx I want VTX VTX you
[01:51:07] jerk come on here we go here we go Reddit to the rescue as always click the bind button when I click the bind button for eight seconds I get the be no that's
[01:51:37] goggles I don't want to have to watch a YouTube video about it can't somebody just have the [@$#%] textthis is where the fact that we don't use forums anymore sucks a big bag of dicks power
[01:51:57] it up then hold the bind button for eight seconds that's it I'm just going to do that where's the bind button tell me I didn't bury the bind button on this you idiot passed
[01:52:10] me did you really not put this somewhere that I that you could get to the bind button oh I'm going to smack myself in the mouth for this if I did that where the hell is
[01:52:33] it what is's the plug than that oh is that it oh there it is oh boy I mean I can kind of get to that but oh boy that is in there okay well this ought to be interesting how do I get how do I get in
[01:53:05] there how do I get in there nope this might be why I didn't update the firmare on oh that's it there it is there it is that's not too bad that's not bad at all actually okay so I hold that right about
[01:53:31] there is that still hit okay all right so it doesn't sound like I have to be holding the button while I plug the battery in but we're going to do this with a
[01:53:45] we're going to do this with a short saver so that we can just use the button to turn it on this is one of my favorite things about the little vifly short stopper short saver whatever
[01:53:56] the hell it's called is that there's a button on it when you push the button it passes voltage when you don't push the button it doesn't so I can plug this in and
[01:54:07] then I can hold the the button down with one hand and then just push the button with my other hand and I hold this for 8 seconds but I have to kind of find where the hell the light is on the walks
[01:54:24] snail btx there it is green light flash flash flash flash I think that's good I think I want this flash flash Fast Flashing it was Fast Flashing and then it stopped and now it's not doing
[01:54:40] anything oh there it goes red flashing red red Fast Flashing and now red solid I think that means it's done but we're going to wait longer now the red light turned off
[01:54:56] I think it's good that was fast holy [@$#%] on the little ones it takes a long time we're just going to wait another couple seconds here oh there's green green green green green green
[01:55:11] green green Green I think that's good let me power up the goggles and see what happens it is Fast Flashing green see what we got just walk no goggles take a minute to fire
[01:55:40] up and no warning about incompatible Bing Bong sweet all set amazing I love it and I can push the button and power it off vifly short saer you need one of these like truly you 100 if if you're in
[01:56:03] FPV and you wouldn't be here if you're not you absolutely need one of these this is an a fully essential tool this is also the only smoke stopper that actually works the other smoke Stoppers
[01:56:15] are not fast enough and you will blow [@$#%] up before they even cut the voltage so vifly short saver is the actual name short saver you it'll be like the shorts saver 2 you
[01:56:29] absolutely 100% need one of these and every single time there's a sketchy build that you want to power on you hook that up and then you don't blow your face off the AOS 3.5 is officially
[01:56:44] good to go done firmware updated OSD is working good to go throw a couple propellers on it and we'll move on to the Grind arino at 11:58 sons of [@$#%] we're going
[01:57:03] long Jeremy over says okay I got you I already called it out Scott says powered up hold the bind button for eight seconds that audio is crazy no high ends like the the audio from the
[01:57:21] session on a quad is what they sound like in real life what I mean like they don't s like every other camera that's ever been mounted to a to a 5in rig or whatever any rig
[01:57:36] they're like shrill and horrible and there's all kinds of wind noise and [@$#%] and they just don't sound the way that these things sound in real life the the session five audio is like perfect
[01:57:46] like when you're flying that's pretty much exactly what you hear it's so impressive like whenever I fly something with not a session five and then I play it back and the audio is on I'm always like oh
[01:57:58] what a [@$#%] let down we've gone backwards in a lot of ways since the session five and I mean it's mainly because we are probably 0.1% of gopro's audience right like the
[01:58:14] fact that they made the bones kind of sort of for us is absolutely absurd but what I what I think that it was is that they get an awful they might not get any money they don't get any significant
[01:58:28] money from the FPV community but what they do get is content which is worth a lot so that's kind of cool Nathan Otis says do you use any fluff on your action cams to kill the
[01:58:44] wind noise no because the audio is so bad on them anyway that like why bother the session 5 does doesn't need it they like buried the the microphone internally in some weird way and it's
[01:58:57] just awesome but everything else like and I've seen people try to get the audio better on the on the GoPro Heroes and it always just still ends up sounding like absolute
[01:59:13] trash it's the quads make a hell of a racket so for a microphone to be able to gain down and not just sound like hot garbage is incredibly impressive so the session five
[01:59:28] was just kind of like a fluke there it is these are GemFan 30 52s my favorite of the 3-in props very pitchy they're not actually 52 pitch they're like 35 pitch or something but they're
[01:59:41] they're still a very pitchy very powerful prop grino time I did the grino build I have no idea where I left off since we just did WalkSnail I can well let's let's put power
[02:00:01] to it and we'll see we'll see what it says maybe maybe it's magically up to date I don't know powering up the goggles hooking up to the short saver again here and putting power
[02:00:22] all right button for power let's see what happens they might not even be bound to be completely honest but let's see it is bound coming up the firmware is out of date and
[02:00:41] the camera's upside down that's funny let me flip the camera right side off that's driving me crazy immediately camera rotate zero there we go okay that makes me feel
[02:01:00] better all right let's power this off and we will update the firmware on this so this is the same VTX so we are going to plug it in and as soon as I get this going I
[02:01:16] will go pull that 2S battery not 3s so that it stops beeping and while that's going on this thing can oh and then we can look at those files from the AOS and take a look
[02:01:33] at how bad the arm drops are and you guys will get to see how the damn thing flies which is kind of fun gangly fan on power on it plugged it's powered up as soon as I plugged it in because I forgot
[02:01:48] to hit the button on the on the thing the play all right so Untitled we've got some we've got some flight footage files on this Avatar VTX that's weird I don't think I ever
[02:02:08] flew this thing it's probably just me [@$#%] around on the bench I'll bet no it's 5.3 gigabytes whatever this is from somebody else I think I bought this I think I got
[02:02:18] this WalkSnail from setup from somebody else so this this is their flight footage that's funny Jeremy says do you do that short saver on your tiny whoops I do not
[02:02:30] because it is only XT30 and XT60 and I also don't think it goes down to 1S I think it's 2S to 6s I've never seen or heard of a short stopper for tiny whoops I've also never blown a tiny
[02:02:44] whoop up in a situation that a short stopper would have helped all right well I've now got a fully what this is a 4S battery oh that's right that's right that's right over
[02:03:03] discharge well cool I've got a Charged 4S battery we can I can test one of these rigs tomorrow with it put this right here how's this thing doing about a minute left all right cool so
[02:03:20] here the AOS 35 is this flight footage let's see what's what what the hell where when when was this what are these blue standoffs where is this oh this isn't me this is the previous owner of this walks
[02:03:39] snail of this WalkSnail VTX that's why I don't recognize it oh standoff is in view ew all right so let's get rid of that that's me here we go this is what I
[02:03:58] remember wow look at all that camera cage in view that camera cage in view is why I'm taking WalkSnail out of the AOS 35 and putting Vista back into it because the the old school DJI silver
[02:04:11] gigantic camera is what this thing was built for and I will not get this carbon fiber standoff in or or camera cage rather in view okay that just finished copy cing so we're going to
[02:04:24] come down here let me get out of this real quick and just move this over here okay so I now can get rid of these and empty and now we've got Avatar Sky image drop that on there perfect
[02:04:40] good to go we can power it down unplug it and I got to find that button again oh boy I actually did bury the button on this one didn't I oh it's in a really bad spot or is
[02:05:04] it is that it there that's it there okay that's not too bad that's not too bad I thought it was on the other side which should have been really bad okay let's see can I
[02:05:18] get to it from here hold on please ah there we go that's easy all right so button Power 8 seconds where's that light where's your light WalkSnail VTX there it is green light flashing
[02:05:46] quick green flash flash flash flash flash flash flash light goes off we're looking for red we've got where's the red light come on there's the red light solid
[02:06:10] red I think I can let it go now letting the button go yep still solid red cool let's get it onto the gangly fan and now it's going to take some time we'll go back into this flight
[02:06:24] footage and I'll just kind of keep an eye on it let's go to the second battery that's just me farting around this is the actual second battery still solid
[02:06:38] red all right let's see if we can catch One of These Arm drops look how smooth this thing is though tune is rocking good response time on the motors look at this thing Trucking across this
[02:06:56] field still solid red light look at this thing I kind of remember this day too I remember at some point I flew up real high and looked down it was really cool looking needs more up tilt see how the
[02:07:18] Horizon is like all the way on the top of the screen more uptilt needed still solid red light on the WalkSnail VTX it's been a while but I know sometimes it takes like a minute or two
[02:07:34] hey there it is all right I don't care about the smooth flying I want needs way more uptilt than that look we're just buried the Horizon to get this oh to get this thing moving
[02:07:49] that was an ambitious Direction Change there pushing it a little bit seems okay there's a chance I'm misremembering it still have a solid red light on the on the WalkSnail VTX I don't know
[02:08:08] what's up with that what does that mean what does a solid red light mean why is it not why is the experience that I had with this one completely different than the other one they're the same VTX the
[02:08:25] same file I did the exact same thing what the hell what is go why what WalkSnail VTX firmware update solid red oh my my God great a forum how nice is this blah blah blah blah blah problems
[02:09:04] what firm are on happened to me I tried to jump from 28x to the latest bet you're going well that's weird oh it tried to beep the motors and it tripped the short stopper that's super annoying okay
[02:09:20] try going to the latest production version then go to the latest beta what I have the exact same problem normal siiz VTX current firmware 28 3210 re sounds like C support said to make
[02:09:35] sure the oh it's the file name that's it that's it that's it oh but wait why the hell did it work on the other one what I remember this there there's a weird file name
[02:09:47] thing but why the hell did it work on the other one all right so let's see Avatar unor Sky 34405 IMG no that shouldn't be the problem that's like a WalkSnail light specific issue I remember that
[02:10:15] and I don't remember how to change the the file name anyway it I know there's a there's an article not an article there's a forum post somewhere about it goggles
[02:10:29] device Che here we go here we go here we go this is the one you need to use Avatar Sky for all the vtx's that oh no that's not it one thing to take note of one sport read here we go here
[02:10:45] we go yeah Avatar mini sky that's it that's it okay okay so let's do that Avatar mini Sky that's right what oh I already have it I already have it in the downloads folder
[02:11:10] well that's nice so I need to power it back up and I need to delete the file that's currently on it and I need to put the renamed one on it which is going to be in here somewhere let's just view or
[02:11:26] no let's Group by name and then it'll be up at the top because a there we go Avatar mini Sky that's the one that I want okay so oh I should plug it back in that would help wouldn't
[02:11:41] it a USB I should say let's power it back down real quick all right plug it back into USB here so it has to do with the version if if you're if you're on a current I I think the way it
[02:11:55] works is that if you're on a more current version of the firmware you don't have to change the file name but if you're on an older version of the firmware you do have to change the file
[02:12:05] name regardless if you get that issue where it just sits red solid red light forever like it was whatever the file name that you've got on there change it either remove or at what I deleted these
[02:12:23] delete you son of a [@$#%] all right there we go Avatar mini there we have it okay cool so now we can eject it and let's power cycle it because why not and then let's get this guy back onto the
[02:12:47] button and I don't think I need to hold it when I powered on but it seemed to work last time so why the hell not holding it powering on all right let's see we've got no
[02:13:01] light so far green light solid green light flashing fast green green green green green green green green green light turns off no light for a second now we're going to go red at some point
[02:13:17] here and we we've got come on red light solid now start flashing you bastard flash you bastard don't you dare not start flashing I'm going to come off the button see if that helps
[02:13:49] anything well the the the fact that those files were the the flight files were still there makes me kind of feel like maybe the that IMG didn't I don't
[02:14:04] know oh Bob Bruce good point if you're going backwards you have to change the name to a higher number that's the other weird thing that's right Christ I forget how that works though is
[02:14:19] it you just change any number God damnn it for Christ sake Sky image file name rename it God damn it's stuck on solid red there there's there's something going on it
[02:14:50] could be a newer firmware version it's kind of hard to tell all right [@$#%] hell let's plug it back in God damn it Jim okay what what I will say is incredibly cool about WalkSnail is
[02:15:10] that even with this firmware mismatch I could fly it's gives me the warning but it is still flyable it's potential not perfect though I I have had the situation where I've
[02:15:25] had the situation where I've flown it's been totally fine I've also had the situation where I fly it and the performance kind of sucks and then I update it and all is right with the
[02:15:34] world but the fact that you can just go out and fly it is really really nice so if you're in a pinch you can just ignore the the the firmware mismatch and go have some fun
[02:15:52] trying incredibly hard to get this plugged in but it is fighting me there we go all right we're plugged in again doesn't matter as long as it's higher it will change itself to the
[02:16:05] proper number on update all right cool so we're going to power it up again we're going to open it up again and so help me God if those flight files are there again I'm going to smash
[02:16:16] everything in sight yes okay so okay so which 40 so let let's just like take the 40 and we'll go to like 45 let's let's try that okay so that's Now set that's now a
[02:16:42] drastically higher number so if I unplug USB pull the power get this on the button again let's take a look all right buttons being held down powered
[02:17:05] on see what the light does green light flashing green light flashing green light stops wait wait wait the the middle number in the file name was 40 I changed it to
[02:17:35] 45 solid red light oh what it's still called Avatar mini though God damn it coming off the button red light's still solid I think I need to change the name of the file I I
[02:17:50] think think the file can't be named mini for Christ sakes the red light's still solid pulling power plugging back into USB powering it back [Laughter] on Jesus all right has to be this this has
[02:18:15] to be it I've tried every other combination let's take mini out of the name all right Avatar Sky 3445 now5 IMG eject unplug USB power cycle button power all right come on you bastard
[02:18:52] green light solid green light flashing green light out that was way quicker that time that's a good sign I think red light solid [@$#%] you come on now oh you
[02:19:24] jerk what the hell I've tried all the different combinations all right we're going to check the version in the in the goggles God damn it Jim all right power cycling I should have done this in the
[02:19:43] first place all right so here we go Goggles are coming up there it is and we're going to check the firmware this time oh but it didn't I hit check but it didn't do anything so let's go into
[02:20:24] device device info okay transmitter is 28. 3210 28 3210 okay 28 3210 that's old Jesus that's old okay well what the hell 28 3210 that's what hang on
[02:21:12] 28. 3210 okay so let's H here so older than 28329 what did I say 28 3210 right I bet you the first time I did it's didn't actually copy over because it had all those other flight files that didn't
[02:22:23] delete so let me just do the exact same thing I did the very first time and I bet you it'll work and I'm sure it was user error for the record I'm sure I did something
[02:22:39] wrong when I was trying to copy those files over so all right powering it up and I'm going to change the name all the way back to Avatar sky 34 40
[02:22:54] 15 all right oh look at that what where' the mini go oh I took it out that's right 34 well now I wouldn't think that my having changed that number would would affect anything
[02:23:13] though ah I don't think this is going to fix it let me let me do this so let let me copy the file over again let me copy the file over again just for the sake of
[02:23:40] argument apparently I need to power cycle it I guess Jesus this is this is turning into a whole God damn thing oh I almost almost just ejected it all right let's get this out of
[02:23:58] here empty the garbage okay Avatar Sky 3440 15 copy that on okay it's there give it a split second cool eject unplug from USB power it down power it up get on the button and
[02:24:27] we are going to hold the button for one 2 3 4 five 6 7 eight green light flashing green light no more flashing green light come off the
[02:24:43] button no light and flashing red light that's what we wanted weird very very weird the first time I Why didn't it work the first time that's super strange man huh red light flashed for a second
[02:25:09] now it's there's no light at all I'm waiting for the green might as well power the goggles up while I'm waiting there's the green flashing fast green I think that's it I think it'll
[02:25:24] Now hook up to the goggles flashing green I might need to power cycle it probably need to power cycle it nope there it is wow hell cool walk Nails updated and good to
[02:25:46] go let's watch some of this flight fir flight well here I'll just leave it on I got to do other things to it anyway pulling power and cool pulling the USB plug Jesus that's a whole thing my God
[02:26:04] that was a little frustrating just a little but somehow nowhere near as frustrating as elrs like I will take that little process says there over elrs any day of the week my god when elrs decides to not
[02:26:25] work [@$#%] it really doesn't work and the way to get it to work is is kakami AF as the kids say they probably don't say that anymore okay cool so wait no where is it I I swear to God I
[02:26:51] remember it dropping an arm but it's didn't anywhere in here right it was completely fine look that's full stank catching it off catching it out of that dive and it was it was totally fine okay
[02:27:11] whatever it's good this is how the AOS 35 flies that was this is a big Full Throttle move too ready full throt and then ah it's fine it just looks ridiculous with the camera cage in
[02:27:33] view [@$#%] it looks like it flies great Jesus I wish I hadn't I really wish I hadn't taken the Vista out of it huh okay well good what is this what is this I I can't where is that
[02:27:51] Buffalo Bills look at this what's that on a 5 inch rig who flying at Buffalo Bills look at this gorilla [@$#%] oh [@$#%] you you got to fly a goddamn roller
[02:28:05] coaster oh man look at this look what a look what a spot this is what oh [@$#%] off that's rockah hola what who did I I buy this from oh that's not
[02:28:24] rahola might be looks like it doesn't it look at all these spots what the hell I want to fly here come on now this is [@$#%] well cool nothing like stalking other people's flight footage this is
[02:28:50] fine this can go and then I mean there's really nothing interesting in here I can down Delete all this too neat okay well the OS 35 flies awesome the footage is totally worthless
[02:29:05] because of the the camera cage in view but whatever BetaFlight for the grino okay and I don't need these on my head anymore Great Scott says I recognize that did was that you
[02:29:41] flying okay oh wow BetaFlight 4.1.6 Yik that would more than likely mean I haven't done anything to this it's got TBS smart audio turned on and art three oh [@$#%] God only knows what art I
[02:30:03] have this on oh you dummy why didn't you set up BetaFlight when you got done with the build you jack ass oh have to take the top plate off that was the big
[02:30:29] dumb don't be like me kids as soon as you get done with before you put the top plate on set B BetaFlight up oh what a stupid idea that was to it was probably on a stream I like
[02:30:48] got done building it I was like all right I'm done I'll fix it I'll set up bet a flight afterwards and then instead I wouldn't play Daisy I can all but guarantee you that's
[02:30:58] what happened okay all right so top plate coming off I lock tied the top plate screws that was kind of cool okay here we go and so WalkSnail is on man I can't read
[02:31:29] this silk screening WalkSnail is on Art number one all right and then the do I have Els in here I do look at me go elrs is on Art 3 art one and art 3 okay so art one we're going to go
[02:31:51] to configuration MSP oh well I guess it's doesn't really matter and then oh I already had it you three so I'm just going to do this I I have to I have to put a newer version of
[02:32:05] beta flate on here anyway but okay so that's fine so that what why did it delete everything the [@$#%] it killed the what whatever I it's out of curiosity though wow that's
[02:32:33] weird I never did anything on this I okay this is a okay I never did anything all right there's nothing to there's nothing to pull over in the diff it's fine so we are going to autodetect Talon F7 V2
[02:32:52] 4.5.0 load load firmware online crsf dshot great flash firmware ignore the risk there's I have nothing on here all right cool county FPV says I think uping the voltage fixed it didn't Jitter this time
[02:33:07] that's been driving me craer for a few days you're the man thank you you're welcome brother that's one of the pains in the ass about high volt batteries is that that can happen
[02:33:17] and so the the flight controller thinks it's 2S but then it's getting like no voltage for 2S and it just gets like super confused and it's just like throws its hands up like I don't know
[02:33:26] what to do here Bob Bruce says you don't have to hold the power power button before updating you throw the file on there hold the button and update Nathan noce says do you should you wear
[02:33:43] glasses no I actually have really good Vision it's just the the you to have really good Vision my vision is not as good as it once was but I it's still pretty good like I I don't the only time
[02:33:57] I need magnification is when I'm looking at this tiny little [@$#%] like really small and if I sit here and kind of do one of these I can read it but it's just easier to grab the loop and then
[02:34:08] like what I'm worried about is I think I see a three and it's actually a two whereas with the 5x Loop it like you can see the molecules all right connect well no let's pull
[02:34:21] power let me let me get this let me get the let me bind the receiver so this is a BetaFPV elrs module I wonder how you wonder how you put it in a bind mode there is a button on
[02:34:43] it I just well I just hit the button didn't do anything let me hold the button holding the button seems to have put it into bind mode Let's see bind mode on the
[02:34:59] module now what actually happened is it went into Wi-Fi mode I think all right let's let me hold the button I'll plug power in see if maybe that's it solid blue let go the button bind mode on the
[02:35:16] trans on the module press descend button find it's solid blue let's try the other module this is an older Els module so I wouldn't be surprised if it's on 2.5 version 2.5 I should
[02:35:36] say Okay Express LS packet rate TX power bind mode press to send bind request binding let's see come on little buddy no it's still solid blue though I wouldn't think that solid blue is is
[02:35:54] binding mode so let's try the plug and unplug three times thing once twice three times oh that's totally put it into bind mode okay it's doing the double flash thing press to send bind request binding solid
[02:36:15] blue that's a good sign binding some beeps and excellent wonderful we are bound transmitter you can hang out for a minute BetaFlight is now good to go let's connect awesome let's
[02:36:33] calibrate let's accelerate the Cali bromer all right that's good to go receiver tab no huh oh oh oh right ports ports ports ports so it was Art three that's on serial art one that's on
[02:36:52] walk snail and then we're going to come in here put this to MSP display port save and reboot we should now have Motion in the receiver ocean we do indeed and we're going to go to
[02:37:07] T and stick low a th000 stick High 2,000 4 Points of deadband not 40 just four let's save that cool now I can turn off the transmitter awesome all right fresh setup here so ports tab is good to go
[02:37:30] configuration I wonder if I still have the the OSD [@$#%] in in the clipboard let's paste I do amazing oh what was that hold on CLI paste enter there it is
[02:37:50] save awesome that was really nice cool so the OSD is now in there configuration me me this is an F7 so we can leave it on 8K pit Loop maximum arming angle 180 which basically turns it off LED
[02:38:12] strip we do not need OSD air mode good dshot Beacon we want to turn both of these on so that we can use the ESC beeper and that's all good to go okay this is the wacky
[02:38:28] Talon flight controller so we need to have this user one thing turned on oh but I need to add that from the godamn CLI don't I [@$#%] well let's just set up our modes first arm a one all the
[02:38:54] way up Horizon aux 2 all the way down beeper aux three all the way down and then we've got a little bit of Black Box ax two all the way towards me flip over after crash aux 3 right
[02:39:22] in the middle and then for funsies launch control aux 2 in the middle save that okay so then we're going to do some presets this is on Express lrs but it's on the old module which for some
[02:39:38] reason I have on 500 so we're going to do that and then serial single cell pick what's up dead chicken save and reboot all right awesome what else do we have power
[02:40:00] and Battery let's just take a quick look maximum cell voltage this what I was this is what I was talking about the the maximum cell voltage by default is 04 is 4.3 so if you hook up a high volt
[02:40:13] battery that's 4.35 it's going to think it's an additional cell of voltage and it's going to get all kinds of confused so if you plan on running High volts on your rigs at the very least move this to 4.4
[02:40:26] you can even move it up to 4.5 I'm not going to run High volts on this so I'm going to leave it at 4.3 pit tuning let's just do a really gentle basic pit tune to get this kind
[02:40:41] of started this is where I kind of this is my starting pit tune if it won't fly with the pids like this I ain't happy and I'm probably going to hit's with a hammer okay this is all looking fine let's
[02:41:01] save that put my rates on here 40 700 and7 which is the real magic to my rates Lots and lots of Expo all right great receiver is good to go modes are good to go adjustments what
[02:41:29] the hell OSD profile selection alss too great Motors tab let the fun begin I'm going to put full 4S voltage to this maybe for the first time don't explode thank you for not exploding
[02:41:50] let's reorder the motors first make sure they're in the right spots well that's not good no Motors are spinning oh okay so there's some ESC nonsense going on what all right
[02:42:05] so let's disconnect from here it's powered up so let's see what interesting let's power cycle it let's power cycle it all the way okay USB plugging in I have no idea what ESC
[02:42:26] this is on here all right now we're powered up BetaFlight connect connect read settings failed reading ESC 4 this is a BL 32 ESC as well isn't it look at my fancy
[02:42:45] ass oh this is another speedix gs24 cool all right so we're going to connect and we're going to check okay 32.7 that's a pretty old version but I mean there's no reason
[02:43:06] that it shouldn't have connected at all but we might as well update it let's update it I'm going to put the gangly fan back on and we're going to give this thing some time
[02:43:20] no reason to not just update real quick all right what's happening over here chat what's happening over here Chad I'm pretty caught up I guess Nathan Otis his his question
[02:43:42] earlier was do you use any fluff on your action cams to kill wind noise so instead of calling it fluff what they've been referred to for a long time which is just absolutely hysterical is dead
[02:43:57] cats and if you don't believe me which I wouldn't believe you for not believing me Mike dead cat see told you they're called dead cat because they look like dead
[02:44:15] cats I mean calling them like a wind m or a wind Muffler is probably a better choice but in the industry we lovingly call them dead cats which is like as FPV Pilots we're
[02:44:31] the only ones in the world that would be like wait but we use dead cat already for the frame geometry when the front arms are swept back which is very weird there's probably no other hobby on
[02:44:43] Earth that actually other than audio that uses dead cat for anything other than this but interesting tidbit for you interesting titbit for you boy the bl32 takes a shockingly long time to
[02:45:03] flash here I I I have no idea why it wasn't spitting the motors up there's nothing wrong with 32.7 which is the version of hly 32 that's on here I don't think this is going to fix it
[02:45:23] what's what's interesting is that the only thing I can think of is that I wired the plugs up wrong but if I'd wired the plugs up wrong it wouldn't be able to update
[02:45:32] right now so I have absolutely no idea why it wouldn't spin the motors a minute ago everything seemed to be set up right Co power says in E economics is so oh Jesus really there's such a thing as dead cat
[02:45:46] bounce [@$#%] all right I stand corrected it's not just FPV that weirdly uses dead cat Jesus what's the obsession with dead cats people come on it's not very kind all right come on be high 32 hurry
[02:46:07] up this is ridiculous it's 12:48 come on there you go successful okay so now we're going to come back to ESC setup we are going to everything's already set up Beacon delay
[02:46:22] is a little bit too long let's bring that down to 2 minutes is low is 24 high is 24 let's go up to 2448 all right and we are going to write the setup break on stop has turned on great
[02:46:39] start up beep nice and low Beacon signal nice and high good to go disconnect all right so we are going to one second and pull power and pull USB quit out of BL holy 32 get back into
[02:46:59] BetaFlight USB first then power and now hopefully it'll spin the motors if it doesn't we've got bigger issues [@$#%] okay well oh bir directional D shot's not turned on that still shouldn't that
[02:47:28] that shouldn't be causing this that ain't good I've never had that happen before buer what what the hell's going on here all right power cycling USB plugged back in giving it
[02:47:57] power okay that's a good sign Motors now let's just come down here let's just see if we can get these to spin and the motors are in the wrong spot so okay good reorder Motors
[02:48:11] please work now it's fine wow that's weird so that is right front and now that is left front that's weird that's right rear now that's left rear what weird ass configuration do I have this ESC in to
[02:48:28] to have the motors in those locations that's super strange connect and Motors we are going to change the motor Direction wizard start and spin here we
[02:48:43] go motor why is that only spinning one motor oh man something [@$#%] up here it's only spinning one motor and it's spinning it the wrong way so let's fix it why aren't the rest of the motors
[02:48:58] spinning what the hell this ain't good only motor one is spinning what the [@$#%] what what is going on here okay let's no look Motors 2 3 and four showing 100% error but they
[02:49:37] were working a minute ago what what the [@$#%] okay let's pull power one more time this is s there's these are a whole bunch of things that I've never seen before which is never
[02:49:54] good motor poles are set correctly but that even if they weren't that would not cause these problems this is this is almost like resource related but now all of a sudden
[02:50:05] it's fine oh boy that is weird dude okay stop motors motor Direction I understand the risks wizard now it's fine oh my God this is strange dude motor one is incorrect let's reverse it
[02:50:24] now it's correct motor 2 is correct motor 4 is incorrect let's reverse it motor 3 is correct stop Motors close this [@$#%] thing's going to fall out of the sky mark my words motor poles
[02:50:37] 14 B directionals turned on dshot 600 let's go down to nah let's leave it on dhot 600 what this might be a CPU load load problem this might be a PC load letter problem see this that's a
[02:50:50] little too high that is a little bit too high let us get that under control by going down to 4K pit Loop I would rather have 4K this is an F7 processor it should be able to handle 8K dshot 600
[02:51:11] but with these new versions of BetaFlight they keep adding more and more stuff so and I would rather not go down on dshot so going down on the PED Loop frequency is preferred if you have to
[02:51:26] go down on one of these so now it should be fine I I'm probably not going to be able to oh now all of a sudden motor 2 is not working again what the [@$#%]something
[02:51:45] is fugged up here something ain't right on this thing I think this ESC might just be on its way out or some strange [@$#%] these motors were making a hell of a noise a second ago though
[02:52:07] let's come in here and spin these motors up one by one and see what happens whoa motor one sounds like [@$#%] oh there's a huge delay these motors are beat
[02:52:34] dude motor 2 is beautiful though the bearings are [@$#%] on some of these motors oh motor 4 is rough there's no air there's no real air showing up here
[02:52:56] um interesting look at it monitoring the temperature of the mo oh no no that's the temperature of the ESC I was going to say how the [@$#%] does it know the temperature of the motors this is
[02:53:06] acting really weird so I'm GNA very carefully fly this thing but let's pull power everything is now set up properly I don't think this I don't think this ESC is long for
[02:53:20] this world but that's okay I'll I'll blow it up and swap it out but something ain't right with this with this ESC so I have a feeling that this thing is going to explode but these
[02:53:35] these xnova 1804s I've pounded the [@$#%] out of the the one in motor number two is obviously a newer one oh it's not it's just a new bell the Bell is the Bell says it it's
[02:53:50] 31 31 KV rather than 35 I think I remember switching that Bell out although I I should let me just make sure that these motors are all the same KV so the way that you do
[02:54:05] that is by looking at the RPM here so fire this up and then you just go full bananas and you look at the at the RPM you make sure each motor is roughly the same so
[02:54:20] 53,000 [@$#%] 46,000 53,000 53,000 [@$#%] motor number two really is a lower KV God damn it Jim and that basically makes all of the motors that lower KV which sucks that
[02:54:47] has nothing to do with the other problems that I've been having with this so I I still I'm still going to need to be careful with this thing but most of the other stuff I think is is
[02:55:03] good to go so I just need to hopefully I have another xnova 1804 in 3500 KV I might not but let's just check everything else so that this guy is ready to go
[02:55:19] blackbox debug mode we want this in gyro scaled all right and save and reboot and then I want to put the I want to get the PID suum cranked up in here just so that the tune has a little
[02:55:47] bit more UHA PID sum is how much power the PID Loop is allowed to ask for and by default it's only allowed to ask for about half of the amount of power that's available it typically doesn't need
[02:56:14] more than that but in case it does you can turn up the PID some value I turn it all the way up to a th which is the same as 100% so okay what haven't we checked I guess I haven't been in here
[02:56:26] let me open the fail safe up a little bit hold on yep there we go 3 seconds instead of one and a half kind of sketchy to do that but it'll be fine presets I think I
[02:56:44] already did this right pretty sure I already did the presets I'll be able to tell in here yep yep yep already did the presets Okay cool so pit tuning yep put a little intro tune on rate profiles we
[02:56:54] did that filter settings let's be a [@$#%] it we'll run proper filters Crank that one all the way up and just bring the max frequency up a little bit I won't go any further with
[02:57:10] the filters receiver modes we're good adjustments we're good oh nope adjustments were not good let's add this back in real quick little clean OSD kind of setup don't really need it but what the
[02:57:29] hell okay Motors we went through that OSD I think I copied it in yep that looks fine make sure no the warnings aren't on come on now so weird oh you bastard
[02:57:50] okay there we go come on there we go okay warnings are now turned on put it on top of disarmed and turn disarmed off that's such a stupid thing to have in there in my
[02:58:02] opinion all right disarmed is now turned off all right that's good move These Warnings over a little bit more okay and that is it this rig is set up I am going
[02:58:23] to see if I have another one of these motors in the proper KV I can't believe I missed that that's kind of annoying but whatever I'm glad that I caught it before I put this thing up in the air
[02:58:34] and was like what the [@$#%] it's got no goddamn power me so there it is my friends there's how I set up BetaFlight on most rigs Damon says did you see or answer
[02:58:47] my question about Dynamic Idol earlier if not all copy and paste I did not but Dynamic Idol what could your question have been probably related to like what value oh here we go so on Discord
[02:59:03] someone mentioned dyamic Idol should be Avo one 2S due to instable behavior do you run do you still run Dynamic Idol on 65 Brandon's baked beans told me that last week at some point and I've
[02:59:14] been turning it off I've previously been running it and it's been completely fine but I'm now turning it off so but every single one of my rigs has had it on forever and I've never had
[02:59:28] an issue with it so I don't know maybe that's maybe it's a rare thing but I've been turning it off and I haven't really seen any I haven't really been paying attention to a difference in in Flight
[02:59:41] characteristics but nothing jumped out at me so I've been turning it on turning it off now Kevin suer says weird it's working now flight controller has ghost I
[02:59:52] think the flight controller is fine I think it's the ESC I think the ESC is is weird cuz this is the Talon F7 and I've run these flight controllers forever and they've never done anything
[03:00:03] weird these speedix gs27 esc's have done plenty of weird [@$#%] so I'm going to blame them I was thinking the same thing Kevin Kevin says only time I've seen this one resource mapping for the motors
[03:00:18] messed up but like if it was messed up it just wouldn't work it's weird that it's intermittent like this which is what I don't know this is this is odd but whatever we'll put it up in
[03:00:31] the air hopefully the ESC doesn't catch on fire hopefully it just acts horrible and then I'll swap it out and throw it in a goddamn River so the grind arino is ready to fly maybe I'll if the
[03:00:46] weather is not total [@$#%] tomorrow which it's supposed to be total [@$#%] tomorrow I'm going to probably put this up in the air on this 4S 500 that I charged and we'll see if that battery is totally
[03:00:58] dead to the world and or if this quad is dead to the world Kevin sum with the last comment of the live stream he says it's an old ass speed X time to light that ASC on fire before it spontaneously
[03:01:08] combusts I have not had issues with the GS 25s catching on fire I've just had issues with them letting go or just like dropping arms and stuff so hopefully it
[03:01:22] doesn't catch on fire I doubt that it will if it does that sucks to be me if it does that'll be three quads that have caught on fire this year it [@$#%] better not let's let's
[03:01:36] really let's really just poke the bull in his side and see if he horns us let's set ourselves up for as many quad fires as possible all right man thanks for hanging my
[03:01:52] friends hold on let me let me do one last thing I want to take a look at how much top plate is in view with this camera and I'll let you guys know how much I completely forgot what's up
[03:02:04] Apachi smoke how are you dude I completely forgot that I wanted to screw around with these differently offset camera mounts but all I have to do is pull the top plate off for that so hold
[03:02:17] on but maybe these mounts that I have the mounts that I used do push the camera pretty far forward so let's just take a quick look cuz maybe there's no top plate in view right now and then I don't have to
[03:02:32] screw around with anything but I bet you there is come on come on walk snow you can do this give me a picture give it to me give me come on uhoh it was working a minute
[03:03:00] ago uhoh what what the hell what changed there's no light on the on the VTX sometimes when you plug these in just don't for no reason at all they oh it's that user one [@$#%] getting
[03:03:23] me isn't it oh you dirty rat bastard you these Talon flight controllers require this weird it's their pit mode switch it has to do with their weird ass pit mode switchI don't know where
[03:03:44] I'm going to find it's something that you have to drop into the CLI oh oh my God [@$#%] Talon flight controller user one CLI come on Google come on hook a brother up hook a brother
[03:04:04] up Google oh ah ah mode tab no no no no it's you can't it's not it's not that easy no it's not it's not that easy get FPV no VTX pit no it's this weird user one [@$#%] come on baby be be there for
[03:04:36] me find user nope [@$#%] well maybe it is maybe I can just do that I've always done it with this weird CLI command oh there it is RC Mumbai has got my
[03:04:59] back but let's just out of curiosity let's let's take a quick look so right now V the the VTX pit is is off so VTX control disable let's just go aux one whatever
[03:05:17] and we'll open it all the way up and save it and so that's V oh no no no no that's not the one that's not the one that's not the one here it is VTX pit mode add range aux one Whatever open it up the
[03:05:33] full range cuz I don't actually want to use it I want it on all the time okay so that's there so now let's pull power and we'll give it battery voltage and it's either
[03:05:48] it's either on or off I think I have it set to off so I need it to okay so I need it to be the other way around I need it to be always
[03:06:03] off so we're going to make the range real small in the middle so connect and then nope not Motors modes okay so VTX pit mode we're we're just going to like just right in
[03:06:17] the Middle where the switch won't go and then we'll save and so now it's never going to enable pit mode because that switch is going to go from all the way low to all the way high save disconnect pull
[03:06:32] power battery voltage turn on VTX you jerk off no see it's this weird CLI command that you have to do I've been down this road before it's this weird like user one
[03:06:48] CLI thing that you need oh my God FPV is just the greatest isn't it isn't this the best guys aren't you so happy that you didn't like take up golf where you could just buy a [@$#%] stick and smack
[03:07:02] a stupid ball around a stupid piece of grass what here we go resource pin iio that's it yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep here it is here it is
[03:07:39] resource pin iio 1 A14 that sounds very very familiar so we're going to dump that in resources set to A14 we're going to save and now if I go into the modes tab it should have this weird user
[03:07:56] one option or not [@$#%] well let's just give it power and see if it lights up the VTX it does not [@$#%] sticks come on man Kevin S says the mode you need is user one it is indeed but it's not here
[03:08:32] there's something you have to do in the CLI to turn that [@$#%] on I thought it I thought it was that I thought it was this right here sh [@$#%]
[03:08:50] balls say pin ey out feel like there's there's supposed to be like one more oh did I not save no I hit save didn't I I hit save let's go into diff and then look at the resources resource pinio yep no it's
[03:09:10] in there resource pinio 1 A14 maybe a flash time option now what the hell do that mean oh a forum post look at that oh but it's not that's not what I
[03:09:44] want God damn it Jim where is it's used to be on all the product pages what if I remove the space what if I ah nope NOP no NOP Talon flight controller user one
[03:10:04] let's do VTX instead of CLI yeah here we go here we go user one mode find user yeah saying that to turn off pit mode you should have the user one set to always on modes
[03:10:22] tab oh come on how do you how do you get the goddamn screenshot coming Discord live stream live how the hell did you find it live stream live other options pin iio oh [@$#%] off
[03:10:42] in the in the firmware flasher I don't I I can't possibly turn that on the firmware flasher that's [@$#%] I've always been able to do it in the C god please get Hub yeah
[03:11:03] yeah that's not that's a different flight controller it's Z's this is this is Sim this is it though it's similar to this user box user one name VTX switch some [@$#%] like
[03:11:18] this set box user one come on well I know it's in here maybe maybe in the description he's got the thing in the place oh GE Joshua wait wait oh does he have a picture of the it used to be on
[03:11:58] the damn product pages it was on the H direct project Pages there it is there's user one but where's the I need that goddamn CLI command come on man
[03:12:19] maybe somebody's got it in the in the comments oh my God this is brutal pit mode hex file come on come on come on come on oh oh oh oh oh well wait I wonder if if now that I
[03:12:44] have the pin IO dropped into the thing if I can just use that here hold on let's see modes I wonder if that pinio resource [@$#%] that I just did will make the VTX pit mode mode
[03:13:02] work because I'm pretty sure I still don't have user one in here right no so VTX pit mode Let's Open this up so that it's on just make sure that user one's not in
[03:13:15] here up top somewhere it's usually on the bottom okay no it's not so but let's try this this is worth a shot okay here and here come on you rat bastard send power
[03:13:29] to the effing VTX you jerk I didn't change what stars and stripes God damn it oh you bastard here it is here it is here it is here it is here it
[03:14:00] is this is the full CLI command oh thank God for YouTube thank God for Joshua Bardwell there it is that's the one that'll turn on user one in the modes tab I
[03:14:15] think y I win you dirty [@$#%] and now let's turn off VTX pit mode save and magically now when I put Power to this goddamn thing the light on the VTX will still not turn on but I think it needs like a
[03:14:41] second maybe oh you bastard ah green light I it's I I might not have been I might not have been waiting long enough I gotta be honest it took a while for that green
[03:14:57] light to turn on oh man I very well might not have been waiting long enough that that VTX pit mode thing might have been it might have been working all right now let's see how much top plate there is in
[03:15:12] the The FPV View almost none none what ah it's cuz it's on 16 by9 I bet you if I switch it to 4x3 the way that I like it how do I do that camera ratio there it is 4 by3 okay
[03:15:32] so the top I'm going to put my hand here where the top is and then okay change it to 4x3 full and then we're going to change it to what the hell just happened
[03:15:51] camera regular 4x3 wow there is a little there's not no [@$#%] all right so the the the wow and in 16 by9 there's no reduction in vertical field to view that's
[03:16:14] really nice screw it I'll run it in 16 by9 cuz there's more okay good to go [@$#%] all right so these these TPU camera mounts that I chose are pushing the camera far enough forward
[03:16:32] and I also have a well the uptilt would actually make the situation worse so we're good sweet grind arino is good to go this VT this ESC is going to explode but what's up fly high
[03:16:45] how are you brother you're up late welcome to the up Lake Club so I just need to take this lower KV motor off and scr around for another 35,000 kvx Nova that's it grino is good to go
[03:17:00] I'll throw some props on it look the best 3-in props of all time t-motor 314s are going to be what's going on this this is going to be the Basher of all Bashers so very excited to put
[03:17:15] this up in the air hopefully tomorrow and then the ESC will burst into flames and I can have three rigs in 2024 that have caught on fire so it'll be great thanks for hanging friends my name is
[03:17:28] Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Captain blows his quads up cpb.com to support the insanity this is my full-time job I do rely on support from you beautiful bastards to keep food in the children's
[03:17:43] mouths you don't want them to starve to death do you thanks friends this is what the grind arino will look like with propellers on it I run three inch propellers because
[03:17:55] three and a half inch propellers are too floaty that's what it looks like love you bye here's some flying I'll see you guys in like a week and a half Wednesday of next week for
[03:18:13] sure I'll see you maybe Monday of next week those of you that are going to Rampage I'll see you there bye-bye friends thanks for hanging still not
[03:18:25] ready here's my Rampage crash edit without the audio but this is the the edit that I entered into the Rampage Community Spotlight competition for in the crashes
[03:18:42] category come on you rat bastard open work you guys are going to love this if you don't love this you a soulless bastard love you guys bye n n a n
