Hi I am quite new to this froum and also to blackbox info. In a thred I would like to post a smal blb file so to show where my quad freaks out and what the reason could be. I used the blackbox explorer and exportet the blb file. When I try to upload to the forum, it gives me an error sayin tht this file type is not alowed. So what can I do? Thanks Frank
I use air unit caddx vista The working voltage of this device is between 7 and 27 volts I wanted to know the power supply for this device Instead of connecting to the flight, if I connect directly to the 6s battery It will not be a problem in the long run
How it started. Back in May, I had 12+ working quads.. but then some solar storm of chaos broke everything.
JHEMCU GHF411 30A just had shorted FET. Like 3rd time.. also motor4. After replacing FET, nothing from ESC - suspect blew off some SMD.
Over 8hrs.. I ended up: - tiny resistors looked SUS.. replaced 18+ 0201 EMF voltage divider - found diode missing. replaced it - took off FET again, and replaced again - replaced BB2 and Fortior from donor board.. twice.
My reward. No BLHeli chime from motor4.. except it did 2 times. Motor4 jerks a bit when I assist it by hand.
With the recent DJI discounts, walksnail still proving itself and a company bonus - I 've decided to buy the DJI V2 goggles. I got them for $750AUD new from the DJI store at Chadstone. I am pumped
Whilst waiting for a couple of air units to arrive from LethalFPV, I've started a new build to maiden my foray into digital. I'm going conservative and building a 4" cruiser based on the iflight Chimera 4" frame, deadcat. I wanted something I can (sorta) fly around the home and also protect the new digital investments. Air units are expensive compared to analog, jeez... the traditional bus style of the frame I've picked I think helps that.
Originally I was going to use my toothfairy 2 - 3" frame from an old 6S analog build but I couldn't find the camera plates, so I pulled out a spare frame I bought ages ago I had yet to use, the iFlight Chimera DC4, deadcat style.
One thing to note, the iflight DC4 frame comes with 1.6mm width long bolts (and matching nuts) especially for the vista. From what I've read you can't get regular 2mm bolts into the vista mounts, so this is a nice touch!
Parts List (all locally sourced from the spare parts draw ):
iflight chimera DC4 - 4" deadcat frame
iflight XING 1404 3600kV motors
tiny talon F7 FC
mamba nano 13A 4in1 ESC (15A burst - I think this will be OK)
clracing LED racewire
I'm yet to determine what receiver I will use. It will be ELRS but not sure which one yet.
MATEK ELRS receiver, SMD antenna
HM EP2 (SMD antenna) or EP1 (mini immo-T antenna)
I've got both the following air units coming, not sure which one I will use yet.
Caddx DJI Camera Vista Kit
Caddx Polar Nano Starlight Vista Kit
I know I will need to use a BEC for 9V on the vista, the FC is an analog one so it doesn't have any 9V rails to power the vista unit. I've got some nice MATEK ones in the parts bin that I think are 5V/9V configurable.
This will be a 4S rig.
On to the build
I started with pre-wiring the ESC and the racewire, measuring it all. These motors were off another build and I'm getting sick of seeing all the heatshrink cover cables, lol.
The stack is a 16mm x 16mm one, so it is tiny and will have enough room for the vista unit at the back. My first time with digital so I don't know what to expect with the size. Well I know, I've got specs, lol but still the real world always offers surprises.
I wired the front motor through the stack to keep it all nice and stuff. The stack spacing is OK and allows for it. LED racewire is a very over the top way of connecting motors, lol.
Looks pretty though...
More to come as I build this quad out and receive the vista units, can't wait!
I've been at it for hours trying to figure out why I have no controller input. Ifight made it really easy to add crossfire to their drone by giving wires and connectors. I solder the new leads on to my crossfire nano and plugged it into my drone. The bind process was good and everything light up like it should, but when I plug into betaflight I have no stick input. It seems the wires are correct and I've updated and downgraded my controller with still nothing to show. Just wanted to see if anyone could help.
