Have you ever assembled your quadcopter motors in the wrong order? I am quite sure you did! I am going to show you how to swap motors in betaflight without the need of a soldering iron! This tutorial is based on betaflight 3.1 and betaflight configurator 1.9.1. On older betaflight versions you had to set… Read More »
The first community built tinyFISH fc is alive! I recently got an email from the rcgroups user Sevo. He successfully managed to assemble and flash his tinyFISH fc. Congratulations, this is the first report of a working replica from the community! Even though he had no access to a microscope he managed to complete his… Read More »
Have you ever assembled your quadcopter motors in the wrong order? I am quite sure you did! I am going to show you how to swap motors in betaflight without the need of a soldering iron! This tutorial is based on betaflight 3.0/3.1 and betaflight configurator 1.8.9. I have spent a lot of time reordering… Read More »
This post will show you how to calibrate the on-board current sensor on any betaflight based FC. I will do this based on the tinyFISH FC, your FC will probably need some different values. This tutorial is based on betaflight 3.1 and beteflight configurator 1.8.9. Tools needed: a flight controller of your choice with built-in… Read More »
UPDATE: please refer to the latest revision v0.2b! In this post I am going to share all the parts you need to build your own super lightweight tinyFISH flight controller with an integrated, FrSky compatible rx. All the following information applies to the current version 0.2 of tinyFISH (tagged as revision 0.2). Changes compared to… Read More »
I just released the tinyFISH FC design files to the open public! See the tinyFISH project page for details. Do whatever you like with the files but make sure to stick to the license (i.e. releasing all derived work under the same license and giving proper credit). Enjoy!
NOTE: This version is outdated, it refers to tag v0.1. There is a newer release (v0.2), please have a look at the corresponding post here. In this post I am going to share all the parts you need to build your own super lightweight tinyFISH flight controller with an integrated, FrSky compatible rx. All the… Read More »
During development of my tinyfish FC i used the st-util gdb bridge for debugging. I had some issues using it, mainly unstable usb communication etc. Therefor i switched to openocd. Recently i have read a lot about the very nice blackmagic probe, the best part is that the firmware can be flashed into the cheap… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the sixths in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I finished a new prototype of my pepperF1SH today 🙂 Its total weight including FPV gear and a 1S 200mAh battery is 32.4grams — yay! With having a new toy to… 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 »
