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?…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

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.…

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 🙂

I love chinesium and admire chinese manufacturers very much for a simple fact: some time ago they stopped just cloning. They started to create new things based on “legit” ones. Just look at iRangeX iRX-IR8M 2.4G 8CH Multi-Protocol Transmitter. Doesn’t this thing looks almost like Team Black Sheep Tango radio transmitter? Well, it is at…

Last update on Crossbow LRS DIY RC link I'm currently building was 2 weeks ago. Back then, it did not went well: crashed an airplane beyond field repair. Last weekend I was able to do what I planned, but that did not went well as well. This time from completely different reason… Link was catching…
