New Zealand School removes “some” WIFI Te Horo School removes wifi from junior classes to be replaced with wired ethernet. Older students still have wifi available. Right or wrong? Here’s my opinion. You don’t agree, leave a comment. Not a big deal at this stage. The junior students are probably […]
Glitches at the flying field Recently there have been a few 2.4GHz RC control glitches. We don’t know yet if it’s due to installation of interference. But with various models affected, it’s possibly not just installation. There is a large site nearby that may be using a wifi jammer, but […]
Product added here. This is a in-line PPM buffer or level converter. It normally connects between the RC receiver and whatever it’s controlling, servo, auto-pilot, LED controller etc. Many modern receivers operate at lower voltages and output PPM signals of 3V or less. Sometimes this low level PPM signal must […]
I have added the high power strobe as a product. Link to product. Slightly smaller than a standard SD card . The strobe can be fitted to a RC model for visual effect or to make it more visible Designed originally for RC gliders that can be difficult to see […]
I decided to fit a OpenLRS module inside the radio rather than use the module. Using a receiver as a transmitter was one option, but I decided to strip the module and clean up and install the PCB. Read more here. All together about 4 hours work. Most of that […]
What’s with these Multirotors? So it’s now the end of 2013. Over the last 2 years Quad, Hex and Octo Multirotor flying as part of the RC hobby has become very popular and is growing fast. The parts needed to build a multirotor are now cheap and easy to get […]
I have just been experimenting with a new high power LED strobe. Details here. Designed with RC models in mind especially larger gliders and FPV models, it is intended to make these more visible at a distance. Range testing so far along ground level suggests that the strobe is visible […]
The domain home page has been changed to provide quick basic info before getting into the detail pages and navigating the blog. Pages recently updated the info pages for the lost model tracker transmitter, receiver and yagi antenna. I still have my links page which I have set to my […]
