AnyFC F7 Pinout
There is still very little about AnyFC F7 on the internet. Especially pinout is kept secret. Without sambas official GitHub repository for hardware projects, there would be nothing at all. I’ve decided to close that gap a little and prepared full pinout for AnyFCF7. Yes, I know they are hand drawn and scanned, but I…

FrSky SmartPort Telemetry on AnyFC F7
STM32F7 CPU family present in newest, experimental, flight controllers like AnyFC F7 (as well as upcoming AnyFC M7 with smaller STM32F722) simplifies many things. For example, comparing to F4 boards, SmartPort or S.Bus connection is extremely simple and can be done on any free UART. No more hardware hacks, external inverters and other “special” ways…

Hands on: AnyFC F7 from Banggood
Before we proceed, short clarification. Legal background of AnyFC F7 flight controller from Banggood is iffy. It’s not that BG ripped the design from Sami Korhonen (sambas). Sambas published design of his AnyFC under Creative Commons BY-SA. So, it’s free to copy this design as long as Sambas is referenced as author, and license is…

Talking Taranis – teach FrSky Taranis to talk to you
One of the most important features of modern, computerized, radios is that you can make them talk to you. After all, with setup telemetry link from UAV, radio should “know” things.

According to an announcement posted on RCGroups, new software for ESCs (and new ESC of course, since it will not be compatible with current Atmel and SiLabs MCU) will be: Running…

Hands on: Eachine ProDVR
Since cameras like GoPro Session are heavy and my FPV goggles (Skyzone SKY-01) lacks built-in DVR, I’ve purchased DVR by Eachine: Eachine ProDVR. There is probably enough written on the web how it’s made and that it has problems with PAL signal and there are hacks to fix it. Oh well… Instead, here are just…

GPS Racer: worklog #2
I’m once again realizing, that doing multiple things at once is not a way to work. Something like that happened to my GPS Racer project. According do original plans, week ago I was only supposed to wait for FPV camera. Instead of that, only yesterday I finished ESC and motor assembly. But OK, it was…
