A small background project. I first looked at this for RC planes. Arduino compatible ATMega328 based module with on-board micro-SD socket. At the moment mostly just a working board in need of an improved sketch to make it more useful. Should be useful for some other SD logging applications. Features: […]
Wanting an OSD to display the basics and GPS information in a small FPV plane but not wanting to waste a lot of time playing flight controllers, I decided to try the MinimOSD Micro running with just a GPS module and a small current sensor. I don’t run Windows so […]
Question: I just wanted to know the operating voltage for the FPV RC BEACON, when its signal lead is connected to a RC receiver running directly on a 2S Lipo, which can reach 8.4V when freshly charged. Maybe a glider install. Answer: The FPV tracker does monitor the power and […]
They need modification I got a couple of these 6 position rotary switches from Ebay and fitted one to a Turnigy 9XR Pro transmitter replacing one of the analog pots. The solder pads are labelled VCC, GND and FLAP, I assumed for +5V, GND and SIgnal. The result was a […]
According to the Specifications The Power Unit is a dual voltage regulator intended for use in larger scale RC with bigger servos and greater power requirements. The higher current ( 8-Amp ) servo output can be jumper selected between 6.2V and 6.7V. The lower current ( 5-Amp) receiver-controller output is […]
These are just a few notes and comments created along the way. I hope they will help others. If you have any comments or additional information, please let me know and I will update here. NOTE: I don’t use Windows. It is supposed to be possible to update these transmitters […]
Power Supply Failure For no apparent reason the main voltage regulator burnt up while operating from a 3-cell Lipo battery (about 12V). It may be that if the supply voltage drops low enough, the switch-mode regulator can’t cope and self destructs. It looks like the failed switch-mode regulator drops the […]
We have just added a simplified low-cost receiver. This works as well as the other receivers but with fewer additional features and at a lower cost. See the product item: HERE See the tracker receiver support page: HERE
