Fatshark Operation

2014-09-04T07:09:00.002+02:00

Hello again.

Today changed my reciever in my FatShark Teleporter V3 goggles to a 32channel one.

Had to do a minor operation by cutting and soldering some pins but now it works perfectly :)

First i opened up my goggles by removing 2 screws and the rubber things. Disconnected the old Rx board and removed it.

Here´s the old Rx board.

Another picture of the old board.

Here i cut the old pins in half instead of desoldering them.

New 5.8Ghz 32channel Rx board soldered in place.

And finally a picture of the new Rx board in place before i put it all back together :)

Updates

2013-03-14T18:53:00.000+01:00

So since last time i have gotten a few more bits for the FY680 Hexa.

I have 6 HK30A ESC´s that i flashed with latest SimonK Firmware

Flash cable

Small adapter i made to fit the pins on the Esc´s

Atm i am making my own Power Distibution Board using plastic and 1.5mm copperplate. Dont have to use as thick as 1.5mm but thats what i got home so.

Also as said before i am waiting for a Naza FC ( have the gps for it already ) . Meanwhile i am tinkering with a APM 25 i just recieved from RCTimer website. Chose normal shipping and i had it within a week :)

433Mhz telemetry for the APM 2.5

Everything soldered and tried to see so it all works and it did.

And I am also building a camera gimbal for my SOny Nex5N camera and for that i have some 16mm 3k carbon fibre tubes with clamps and also 1 and 1.5mm 3k carbon plates.

And yesterday I also recieved my GoPro Hero3 Black Edition in the mail. Heres a few pics of it compared to my GoPro Hero1 HD and also of the LCD back that fits the old and new GoPro.

And finally I got one of my Hubsan X4 Quads aswell. Going to do a few mods to it as explained on RCGroups to make it more rigid.

Compared to my GP3BE, Its tiny :)

Thats all for now, thanks for looking :)

2013-02-28T20:10:00.001+01:00

Got 3 packages today in the mail. One was the Tarot FY80 Foldable Hexa frame and the other two had a Naza GPS and a Simple Brushless Gimball Controller.

Box from Foxtech containing the FY680 frame.

Brushless gimball controller that i will use in either a GoPro gimball or for my Sony Nex5N.

Naza GPS Still waiting for the Naza FC

Hobbywing Quattro ESC. Ordered one just to try on one of my Quads

Below are a few pics of the content of the FY680 box from Foxtech.

I will use Tiger Motors 2814 710kv motors on this hexa together with F-30A esc´s flashed with SimonK. Will use 12x6 Graupner E-Propps for starters.

Going to build the gimball in a near future and try it out.

Have ordered some more Carbon Fibre tubes for the gimball build and also a APM 2.5 FC with GPS and 433Mhz radio for telemetry. Will use my Android Tablet to see telemetry and also for waypoints and so on using Andropilot.

Mini Quad

2013-02-23T21:08:00.001+01:00

A few days ago i ordered 2 Hubsan X4 Quads also just for fun. Will give one to my brother on his birthday.

They get good reviews and are perfect for indoors flying.

Ordered a few extra props and batterys aswell.

At 35$ each for RTF its really cheap.

Hoping to get them next week.
