Hey snow Just got a new flywoo explorer how should it be wired ?

What you need to do is to solder some wires to some pads

Lol yeah and an rx but half the dang crsf nano pinouts on the net are wrong

Yeah, it always helps if you give us a bit of a clue as to what it is you're trying to wire up  

There are only two hardware UARTs on the Goku F411 FC that's installed on the Flywoo Explorer LR FC. The GPS module will be connected to one of those (I suspect UART2) which should leave another spare (which I suspect is UART1). Can you please confirm what is currently connected to UART1 and/or UART2 pads.

For Flywoo Explorer, if you install a GPS unit you are going to be needing to wire the GPS on the Soft Serial. But mine was the DJI model and I have replaced the FC with a 20x20 since I experience Goku locking up on me a couple of times.

That's a bit disappointing. Having to replace the FC with a different one isn't really something you should have to be doing with a new BNF quad which should just work out-of-the-box.

I don't know if others have experienced this, but I have a Flywoo XBot 3 that has that same 16x16 13A stack in it. I have not had good luck with it. First, a motor shaft got bent in a crash. Ok, this was my fault. After a few flights, the FC died. I am not sure why, but I didn't feel like debugging it at the time {maybe some day when I have nothing better to do}. By the way, this stack always seems to be out of stock; but that is ok, it kept me from buying one when mine died. 

Anyway, I have been watching the Flywoo electronics to see if others have issues with this 16x16 stack. 

Now, I will likely buy a different 16x16 stack. OR, I might just wait for the JHEMCU 16x16 GHF13A AIO board. The XBot 3 frame will only take a 16x16 mounting, so I am limited to that format.

Yes,  Spent an extra $50 for another stack.  But I think now I got everything working including the GPS! Yay!.  Oh and I have to replace the GPS module to a Matek G8M too!

I saw JB's shootout review of the 4" LR quads and was surprised to see that most of them appear to have issues with the GPS unit, and the Diatone Roma even comes with the GPS module fitted but disabled in Betaflight because of the known issues LOL. I think everyone just jumped on the Dave C bandwagon and threw something together to try and cash in while 4" LR is still a hot buzzword.

Hi Snow,

That is very interesting. At this point, I like my own builds better than those 4 inch LR BNF quads.

I have also moved away from F411 based FCs {except maybe for a small whoop or 2.5 inch}  due mostly to the architecture that only allows 2 UARTS. Yeah, I know you can "soft serial" components, but to me, this just looks like a work around for lacking hardware. The cost of an F405 or F7 based AIO FC is not much more for what you get. 

You know, I use the Matek MQ8-5883 GPS exclusively without any issues that I can tell.

Uart 1 = rx
Uart 2 = GPS
Soft serial 1 = c vista

Yeah, my F411 boards use a UART for the Rx which really only leaves 1 hardware UART for other things. You either get SmartAudio or GPS then you have to go to "Soft Serial". Personally, I prefer to have the hardware UARTS for both SmartAudio and GPS. 

"Moving on up, to the East Side, to a Deluxe apartment in the sky... "   or more specifically F405, F7, and up processors.

If you have the V2.1 Goku here is the diagram for the Uarts and Soft serials

Well I made it a little over 800meters I got scared and turned around lol
