  • Mini Flying Wing: MiniWing v2

    Miniquads are fun, right? After all, there is a reasons most uf us flies 210-250 quadcopters. If so, small flying wings should be fun too! I tried that already in late 2015 and failed miserably! My design did not survived maiden flight. Well, things like that happens from time to time, so few months ago,…

  • 3D Printed HC-12 and HC-06 telemetry relay box

    It’s a very nice feeling when people starts to create accessories for your inventions. OK, maybe “invention” is too strong word here, but still. EduardoChamorro designed a 3D printed case for my HC-12 433MHz to HC-06 Bluetooth bridge that I published here last year. It’s small, it has a switch and status LED. It also…

  • Project "GPS Racer" – worklog #1

    I know that I should not start new project when old one are still in progress. I really, really know that. But since I’ve somehow lost my interest in Project Dualcopter and I have a real need for a new quadcopter, Project “GPS Racer” has finally started. What is GPS Racer? During my work as…

  • Vlog: Best way to backup and restore INAV configuration

    Here I give you another video tutorial on my YouTube channel. This time, I give you the best way to backup and restore INAV configuration using diff command.

  • STM32 F1 and F3 versus LRS 433MHz interference issue

    This topic first appeared on my table few weeks ago. Can a flight controller interfere with long range system running on 433MHz band like openLRSng? STM32 F1 and F3 based CPU running most flight controllers (Naze32, SPracingF3, Flip32, CC3D, etc.) run on 72MHz. Actually this is 8MHz of external clock and 9 multiplier. But still,…

  • Fixed Wing 101 – Lift, Angle Of Attack and Stall

    With this short article I would like to initiate new series: Fixed Wing 101 where I will describe some basic concepts connected with fixed wing airplanes that should help beginners to enter the hobby. Today: why airplanes fly and why, from time to time, they fall down from the sky… Lift Airplanes fly thanks to…

  • Review: BuildTak Printing Surface

    For last few months I’ve been happily 3D printing PLA on glass. Prints were repeatable, initial adhesion was just fine, ready print was easy to remove after glass cooled down. But I wouldn’t be me if I did not wanted to try something new. So I tried “the ideal 3D printing surface” BuiltTak. My initial…

  • How to print with elastic filament

    Elastic filaments opened brand new areas for 3D printing. We are finally able to print something that bends, compresses and stretches. While TPE (ThermoPlastic Elastomer) filaments like NinjaFlex or FlexiSmart are still about 4 times more expensive than plain old PLA, they are not so expensive not to give them a try. Unfortunately, due to…

  • ESP8266 and DS18B20 – wireless ThingSpeak sensor

    Here is another small project of mine: battery operated ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi thermometer using DS18B20 and ThingSpeak API to collect data. Before we proceed, you should:
