All the following information applies to the current version 0.3 of tinyPEPPER (tagged as revision 0.3). If… Read More »
One might wonder why do I need this fancy new plug?! The reason is simple, the original TinyWhoop battery connectors are specified for a current of 1A. At least the original picoblade connector made by Molex — the Chinese clones are probably worse… A small micro brushless quad as my pepperF1SH can easily draw a… 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 »
pepperF1SH This post is the eighth in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I did not like the design from my previous post at all. I really want to keep the round design impression intact, the side bars just did not look right. Therefore… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the seventh in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I updated the camera and battery mounts as i decided to order them from Shapeways. I added the option to add a camera protector (aka cable tie) and thinned some walls.… 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 »
pepperF1SH This post is the fourth in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. I designed a small and lightweight camera and battery holder. The camera and vtx combination will be mounted on top of the ESC and FC stack. A real pro does not… Read More »
pepperF1SH This post is the third in a series of posts about the adventure of building the world’s lightest brushless FPV quadcopter: project pepperF1SH. After doing some more hover tests (2:30 @35g = 87mAh — yay!) and thinking about how to mount parts i came up with an improved frame design: For the motors I… 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 »
