Well, it finally happened. China took one of my designs, removed my logos, renamed it (what was wrong with tinyFISH FC?), and started selling it as their creation: The “Racerstar” F3D8! But let’s start from the beginning: On November the 21st 2016 I started to blog about my tinyFISH FC. I developed it because I… Read More »

I think everybody of us has tried one of those third hands or helping hands. The idea is simple but I have to say that I never liked those too much. They do not have enough clips, they are easy to tip over and not that flexible that I would like them to be. I… Read More »
I just started to swap the hardware abstraction layer that runs the low level stuff on OpenGround. On modern 32 bit processors you usually get a small abstraction library from the manufacturer. This library maps complex commands such as initializing e.g. the SPI subsystem to the underlaying low-level register access commands. For the stm32 series… Read More »
