[â€¦] The replacement flight controller came in so I could follow up on the repairs from last time, where I realized I had two bad ESCâ€s after finishing the rebuild. When flashing my new replacement for the replacementÂ flight controller, I noticed that there were two firmwareÂ targets that were very similar: MATEKF411 and MATEKF411RX.Â I had picked the RX version thinking that was for FCâ€s with built-in receivers. Iâ€m not sure thatâ€s what the RX means in this case as thereâ€s also an SE target. It doesnâ€t matter anyway since these FCâ€s donâ€t have built-in receivers, I was confusing it with the flight controller that I had recently used on my whoop build. [â€¦]

[â€¦] starting to thing that place is cursed for me, as only a couple of months ago I whacked a pole and broke a motor. On my second battery I caught a branch and crashed to the pavement, which snapped on of the zip [â€¦]

[â€¦] Last time I left off at having finished the soldering and successfully tested that I could connect with my radio to the flight controller and receive a video signal on my goggles, and that the video signal was right side up. I tested that the VTX protocol was configured correctly so I could use my radio to bring up the VTX settings in the OSD on my goggles and change the VTX band and channel, and that the frequency the VTX was transmitting at changed appropriately.

[â€¦] Binding the radio took me a bit to figure out since I had to find the built-in receiver specifications. I couldnâ€t find anything about telemetry being available or not, but it would only successfully bind when I picked the radio setting without telemetry, so Iâ€m guessing itâ€s not supported. Not a big deal for a small whoop like this, but something Iâ€ll have to keep in mind if I ever decide I need to go hunting for it outside. [â€¦]

[â€¦] We had some unseasonably warm weather in Indiana over the weekend and I was pretty upset with myself that I couldnâ€t take proper advantage of it because my toothpick was still out of commission from the crash back in early December. [â€¦]
