  • How to wind an electric brushless outrunner motor with dLRK winding schema, part 2

    My memory is not as good as it used to be. I just realized, that third part of my motor winding series was not yet announced over here. So here we go… In this video I terminate motor into Delta pattern and do first test of freshly winded motor.

  • Crossbow LRS: first live test that is almost a success

    Finally, much later than I originally expected, Crossbow LRS, my DIY medium range RC radio link was used to control something that flies. Not much, and not far. It was only my experimental 6″ GPS Racer quadcopter. And I reached only 350m. Small steps, I had no intention to beat and records after all. Just…

  • Standalone Betaflight Configurator, since Chrome Web Store apps are dead

    Google finally did what they announced last year: Chrome Packaged Apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux are dead. OK, maybe not 100% dead, but they were removed from search and browse in Chrome Web Store. If you still have link, you can install (no idea for how long tho). So, how to live with that?…

  • RaceFlight One Source Code, drama continues

    This is the follow up of yesterday entry RaceFlight One source code has been published and what does that mean. Before you continue I suggest reading that post first. Another day, another drama. Or rather the same drama continues. There are two major updates on the topic of RaceFlight source code and team conflict. RS2K…

  • RaceFlight One source code has been published and what does that mean

    In the beginning of time, there was MultiWii and it was good. But then times moved on and 8bit ATmegas were end-of-line for flight control. So, Baseflight was created. In the beginning, it was supposed to be only a MultiWii port to support STM32f1 flight controllers in a for of Afroflight Naze. And it was…

  • Crossbow LRS, I’m still doing this wrong…

    Only two weeks ago I thought I solved all my major problems with DIY LoRa RC link. I was wrong. I was able to solve one problem (link unstable due to rouge packets messing up with protocol decoding), but an old problem came up again: PPM input from Taranis is no longer stable. At least…

  • EXUAV Y120S drone racing frame: go home designer, you are drunk

    Chinesium is amazing. Well, to be precise, not only chinesium manufacturers will do anything just to stand off a little. Just like this little (120mm) quadcopter frame called EXUAV Y120S. Why do I even bother to write about it? Simple: I love crazy designs. Just look at those pictures below: No, it’s not a tricopter.…

  • Visual Studio Code as Arduino IDE replacement

    I can say a lot of good things about Arduino ecosystem. List will quite long, trust me on that. But Arduino ecosystem has one thing that sucks a lot: Arduino IDE. Programming environment for Arduino is crap. Period. I would not call it the worse development environment ever, but it's pretty close to that title.…

  • How to wind an electric brushless outrunner motor with dLRK winding schema

    This time, another “motor winding” video. In 13 minutes and something seconds I: show some tool that I find useful for motor winding wind a 12N14P brushless outrunner electric motor with dLRK winding schema terminate this motor into Delta configuration BTW, in next video I will show you if it worked or not 🙂
