Ah yes, thanks. I remember now when I did get the Rx connected and hooked to Betaflight that there appeared to be 2 or 3 UARTs available. I'll have a play.

Great, yes I just bought a nice fine tipped, 12w iron with variable temp control. Any recommendations on temp I should try? So I should put my rx wire on the through-hole and enter a CLI command on Betaflight? Any info on the commands I need? Still very new to this... Yup, big motors for a tiny...

This is the receiever...

Yes that looks like it. It is from a gearbest 2s 65mm kit: https://www.gearbest.com/brushless-fpv-racer/pp_1331770.html So there is a possibility I could use the Rx hole near the USB plug? Why would there be a tx pad? What would that be for? Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Can I jump to another part?

That is my question also. It appears to have disappeared.

Hi guys, Been trying to wire up a rx to this tiny 20 x 20 board, unfortunately my neanderthal soldering skills have resulted in 2 missing pads. From the photo can anyone suggest if there might be a pad I can jump to? The right hand arrow is the +5v so that should be easy, the left arrow is the...

Thanks for the advice :) With that camera and DVR combo what kind of quality can you expect? Really hoping to pull some HD if possible. The stuff I've seen from the splits looks very nice quality. Cheers

Hi guys, I've been flying BNF/PNP quads for a while and am keen to do my first build. I'm keen on micro racers (mostly for backyard acro) and keen to build something tiny, powerful, with decent vtx reception and an HD camera. I'm looking at: Diatone GT-m2. 5 frame 1106 motors (not sure...

Thanks, can anyone tell me what to look for in a battery? 3s lipo? Am I likely to also need connectors or will this setup likely be pretty plug and play? I'm away from home and don't have access to much of a workshop...

Hey guys, getting ready to order parts for my first build. I want a compact quad with room for future upgrades and the capability to lift a gopro. So far I'm thinking: Emax Transformers 300 Combo - a) EMAX/EMX-MR-0063 300 All Carbon Fiber Foldable Quadcopter Aircraft Frame x 1 box b)...

I do like the way the 300 folds back in on itself, that QX350 looks nice but I think I prefer the squarer folded away footprint. Besthobby recommends EMAX MT12204 motors, do these sound about right? In regard to a controller, I'd quite like to implement a "follow me" mode in the future if...

Thanks guys, I realise I'll be compromising in stability if I go small but I think for this build I'd prefer compactness as most of the shots I'd like to take will be reasonably static. I've found a few good looking folding frames...

Hey guys, I've spent the past few months fooling around with a couple of Hubsan X4 quads. I have a background in videography and have had a lot of fun with the X4 but, not surprisingly, have been left wanting a little more in the camera department! I'm more of a mechanical chap with some...
