Making a 210, Need Help!
#1
Hey guys, I'm making a 210 Charpu Editon Race Quad. So far I have these parts, Acro Naze32 Flight Controller rev6, Lumenier RX2206-11 2350Kv Motor, Lumenier Mini 20A ESC w/ SimonK AutoShot, 5V/1A BEC (2-4s) and Turnigy nano-tech 1300mAh 4S 45~90C Lipo Pack. I would really like to know if they all work with each other. Thankyou

Yep, they will all work, What PDB you plan using, the one that comes with the QAV 210?

Are you planning running FPV gear on it?  If so, is a good idea to have a line filter for the fpv cam and VTX, not essential, but always a good idea. and that PDB doesnt not have one built in. I ditched mine from the QAV kit and put a Demon Core PDB in, has line filter in and bec. Big Grin

Yes I am going to be running FPV

Im just a bit worried about the esc, The maximum Burst Current is 30A/10sec but the motors I'm running are 32A/10sec

You shouldn't worry to much about the ESCs. The motors will probably not draw much more than 25A at the most in the air with 5" props. My setup with Kingkong 5045 tri and racerstar 2205 2300kv never exceeds 20A each.

Remember that full throttle static thrust tests are much more power demanding than full throttle flying (about 30% less?)

Ok Thankyou a lot! Smile

I have heard that I should have a osd, does that come built into my drone or do I need to get it separately. If I need to get it separately, what one do I pick and how do I set it up?

An OSD is not critical to any quad, Most people want just battery voltage displayed on screen or in the goggles.

No OSD is in the QAV210 kit.

OSD"s do have the ability to display a lot of information onscreen or in the goggles, but for most us who Freetsyle or race do not want clutter.

I had minim OSD's for a while but found they are more trouble than they are worth just for the Information I wanted. I either use a PDB with basic OSD built in or just use a hard wired low voltage battery alarm.

The choice is yours if you want one or not.  Google micro minimosd, here is just one example, http://www.readytoflyquads.com/micro-minimosd

Or , like I said, get a PDB with built in OSD like http://www.redrotorrc.com/index.php?rout...uct_id=115

This PDB with OSD from banggood looks to be quite promising with built in current sensor:

http://www.banggood.com/Realacc-HUBOSD-E...68098.html

I have ordered one myself to test if I like it better than the micro minimosd. On tight builds, it is quite handy do have your osd on a pdb or on your flight controller.

One thing I really like about the minimosd and mwosd firmware, is the ability to adjust the PIDs, rate and more with your controller.
I got timer, voltage, current consumed and actual current shown on the bottom of my screen while flying

If I chose the PDB that has OSD, what does it allow me to see on the screen opitions wise?, like battery voltage, time in air, all that stuff. If I do use it, do I just solder everything normally or do I have to do it a special way? Thankyou a lot, you two have been a really big help

Most, but not all PDBs with OSD have a simple OSD, by simple it will have Voltage, Amps being drawn, time and low voltage flashes onscreen. No special tricks needed with them at all to wire up, Some will require you to solder a bridge or NTSC or PAL on the underside of the PDB and that is it.

I would NOT recommend the MXK PDB if you ever get your eyes on one. They are hit and miss. The first one I received, the osd was not working at all and many others have the same experience. I got a replacement board from banggood. and so far it has been working, but I guess I was just lucky with that one.

100% agree, Avoid at all costs, I bought 4 and eventually the OSD died on all 4, the PDB part still works fine, but do not waste you cash on them..Pure Rubbish.

Personally I would go with this one: 

Realacc HUBOSD

I just build a 210 quad with this PDB and I really like the layout.  It makes your build a whole lot easier.

On my other quad I have a RROSD and there are two things I don't like:
1. The placement of the ESC pads
2. The small font size on the display
My quad: 
RD-210 / ZMX V3 2206 2140kv / Aikon SEFM 30A / X-Racer F303 V3 / X4R-SB / Dronelab 1500 4S 50C
