pepperF1SH This post is the second in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. As i just could not wait for my tinyFISH fc comletion i hacked together a pepperF1SH using some scrap components: an old brushed SPRacing F3 Evo converted to brushless, an uSKY… Read More »
This post is an update about my 4in1 blheli_s ESC tinyPEPPER. I just did a first test using an old F3 evo brushed board that i converted to brushless operation (remove FETs and pulldown resistors). I will probably to the maiden with this board and an uSKY rx instead of using my tinyFISH fc as… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the first in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. Banggood recently released a new nice, cheap and lightweight brushless motor, the Racerstar 1103 8000KV ( also available as a 10000KV version). First thrust tests on the 8000KV motor on 1S… Read More »
This post is an update about my 4in1 blheli_s ESC previously known as uESC. I renamed it to tinyPEPPER and i just finished soldering a first prototype: This thing is TINY! Firmware flashing worked out of the box, blheli configurator allows to change all settings and i can use the betaflight gui to control the… Read More »

Why 1S??? I am currently working on a tiny 20x20mm F3 based flight controller and a tiny ESC in the same dimensions. As this ESC will be only good for 1S operation, i did some thrust tests with the new Racerstar 1103 8000KV motor from Banggood. I think my complete brushless setup will weight around… Read More »
I just finished a first port of betaflight — yay! (if you are wondering what a tinyFISH fc is, please have a look at the project page) Watch this video on YouTube The board shown here has not all components mounted yet and the black pinheader is just for debugging, it will be removed in… Read More »
I am currently building a tiny 4in1 Blheli_s ESC for a micro brushless copter. The final design will be 20x20mm, run blheli_s, support 1S @4A, and will probably weight less than two grams. In order to verify my hardware design i soldered a breadboard version of my circuit and started to port the blheli_s code… Read More »
I am working on a custom 4in1 blheli_s ESC for micro brushless setups. I wouldn’t like to reveal too much at this point, except it is going to be tinytiny (20x20mm) as you have seen with my version of a Frsky compatible tiny rx (see my uSKY project). UPDATE: you can find more about the… Read More »
This is the 11th post of my series documenting the development of a custom firmware for the FS-i6s transmitter. CC2500 adapter In order to remove the mess of cables inside the modified transmitter, i designed an adapter pcb to adapt the CC2500 transceiver module to the pads on the transmitter pcb. It’s no rocket science… Read More »
